Aw Jeez - It's Back (FR's anti-Mitt Campaign)

Let’s say for the sake of argument that Mitt and his Joe Isuzu self gets the nod in ‘12. Would a legitimate 3rd party candidate emerge? I’m not convinced that Palin would go 3rd party in that scenario, but could we realistically see a 3rd party candidate two years from now if Mitt gets the GOP nomination?

I LOVE IT...so screw.

[counterpunch]

That’s just not true. If McCain had keeled over or something then his electors would have been free agents and no one would have had a majority, and it would have been a brokered convention. Chances are some consensus dark horse candidate would have emerged. Who that would have been would have been anyone’s guess, but Huckabee would have been least likely of all, since his base was so specific to himself. He wouldn’t have gotten any electors that he didn’t bring to the convention himself.

No.

Realistically? No third party.

[Uncle Miltie]

Keep the RINO Socialist Mitt on the run!

[counterpunch]

We are going to see a third party candidate in 2012 no matter what, as 0bama enacts the Clinton/Perot strategy of divide and conquer as his only hope for reelection. The only question is going to be if America is stupid enough to fall for it again.

I think Mitt being a RINO speaks enough.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Thank you for your opinion.

The fact still remains that Romney finished THIRD.

[Jim Robinson]

If the Republican primary voters are stupid enough to nominate Romney, then yes.

[Diogenesis]

Massachusetts is not the "bluest" (actually Communist red) state.

That said, Romney is a carpetbagger anyway
a shapeshifting snake crawling from beneath one rock to another.

Mass. votes:

	Presidential Candidate	Vice Presidential Candidate	Political Party	Popular Vote		Electoral Vote
	Ronald Reagan	George Bush	Republican	1,310,936	51.22%	13
	Walter Mondale	Geraldine Ferraro	Democrat	1,239,606	48.43%	0
	Dennis Serrette	Nancy Ross	MA. Ind. Alliance	7,998	0.31%	0
	Other (+)	-	-	913	0.04%	0

[Uncle Miltie]

Did someone call?

[Chaguito]

Under no circumstances will I ever again vote for the likes of a McCain or other RINO. The psychological trauma remains with me to this day. Romney’s ‘defense’ of the Mass health care eliminates him from my list of possibles.

Some of these Freepers are talking down to you as if you’re a newbie and not the fearless leader of the site.

That's just the cheese he's dangling out there and........ THEN!!

[bwc2221]

Well, the next time Counterpunch begins Palin-bashing ....

[greyfoxx39]

Wanna borrow the mousetrap?

[airborne]

I don't care much for it either.

That's why I don't spend all my time on the threads constantly bickering about it.

And if the Mitt supporters stayed away, it would all pass.

But some people either can't learn from the past, or they enjoy the bickering.

As for me, I'd rather watch a hockey game. Now there's some fighting I can enjoy! ;^)

[USS Alaska]

piss on Romney.

I agree but having to scroll through a romney rant at the beginning of each post is a pain in the romney.

Most folks that regularly visit FR know what uncle milty is and don't need hit over the head with his bull every time he changes his latest quotations.

[BillyA]

If more of us had supported Mitt, we wouldn’t have Obama.

[ejonesie22]

And if the Mitt supporters stayed away, it would all pass.

That's the key right there, they aren't, so it doesn't, so we must...
