We heard this in 2008 and we got Barry. Stop threatening.

ANd you are going to get Barray again if Romney is the Nominee.

There are many, many more of us disenchanted and disenfranchise conservatives this time.

If Romney is the nominee, he is going down in flames.

Oh, Catholic.

Most Catholics are Democrat voters, glad to see that you are Republican.

Romney cleans up with Catholics, he dominates the Catholic vote, but he does poorly among the most conservative block of voters.

He can beat Obama. If he’s beating his Pubbie rivals with his milquetoast personality and mediocrity, he can beat Obama. Mediocrity rules, folks!

Maybe with a Baseball Bat, but not in an Election.

Actually a massive organization left over from 2008, and massive funds, and the full support of the GOP and the media, “rules, folks”.

If you look at a map of Romney’s wins and where his votes are, it looks similar to an Obama win map. He might be able to squeak by in a primary, but the areas he’s winning today will go to Obama in November.

Actually I think all three can beat Obama but your observation of where Romney gets his delegates from for the Republican Nomination is precisely correct. The following is the order that I think the best candidates for the Republican party success is:
Gingrich
Santorum
Romney

Though I think Romney can beat Obama I think he will do this by the smallest margin.

I would ask this of Republican voters, vote for the man you want as the nominee and not the one the media says can win. Newt, Mitch and Santorum can all win.

Wow, you really are a little romneybot.

Bishop Romney does dominate Catholics, especially moderate females.

Did either of you read the SORDID history of Mitt Romney posted on this thread multiple times?

The man actively supported Gay Adoption and Gay Marriage!

Is this really the man you want as your standard bearer against Obama?

Are you for real?

Gay Adoption?

Pull your head out of the sand and wake up!

If you have any principles at all, and any conservatism, you will not be supporting a total utter creep like Mitt Romney.

The man is absolute scum!

Not a chance in hell.

The man has easily identifiable history supporting:

1. Gay Adoption
2. Gay Marriage
3. Abortion
4. Socialized Medicine A.K.A. RomneyCare
5. Global Warming.

He will be torn to shreds by Obama and MSM in the run-up to the General Election.

You think the character assasination employed by Romney against Newt and Santorum was bad? It will pale in comparison to what Obama and the MSM will to do him.

Hildy; Ballygrl, do you two Mormon Bishop, Romney supporters, have any social issues that you care about?

I know that and you know that and most of America knows that. We’ll leave those here to their delusions.

Ok.. Here we go again.. It’s a broken record. Good night. I will leave you with this.. I do more for the Conservative cause in one day than you have done in all the years you have bitched and moaned on this website. You can only make changes when you understand the system... Just not liking the system isn’t good enough. But good luck with your delusions... Delusion is the blindfold you wear to your own execution.

Hildy, you have years of your political passions posted on this conservative activist site.

Your activism has been to weaken conservatives, to move the GOP to the left.

When Rudy Giuliani was the most hard left GOP candidate you supported him, when the more far left Romney entered, you switched to him.

Since Romney is the most liberal of this cycle then you kept with Romney as a carry over from 2008.

How are you helping the conservative cause?

Santorum can’t win, neither can Newt. People keep forgetting, Conservatives make up about 40% of the population, 20% self identify as Liberal and the rest are Moderates.

This is march 7, 2012.

Here is a poll from March 10, 1980. Reagan should have dropped out.

ABC-Harris poll, March 10, 1980:
When pitted against President Carter among a cross section of 1,498 likely voters, Ford runs ahead by a 54-44 percent margin. By contrast , among the same voters , Reagan trails Carter by 58-40 percent .

I am assuming that a President Romney would seek a second term. If he leads as a liberal he will be challenged in the primary and that’s the LAST thing he will want(ask LBJ, Carter, and GHWB). He is smart. He is not going to tick off his base and pull a Harriet Miers like GWB did.

Regarding Newt climbing back: I take it you did not watch his speech on Tuesday night. What a disaster! He is a horrible campaigner-his speech was rambling and unfocused and he lacked excitement.His supporters were sitting on their hands waiting for him to get fired up, since it was a VICTORY speech, for crying out loud. And today I saw a piece on CNN showing him SLEEPING while waiting to be interviewed-—that should fire up the women’s vote! I think his time to run for the presidency has come and gone. He’s about 15 years too late. He’s McCain’s age and it’s beginning to show.

There are only two candidates running, Newt and Ron Paul. Romney is not a natural born citizen nor can he come within ten points of Obama. Santorum is not natural born either so where does that leave us?

Let me get this straight——Since you think Romney and Santorum are not natural born U.S. citizens please then tell me of what country are they citizens?
