Watching Gingrich cuddle with Nancy Pelosi on that couch, and now Jindal huddle in silence after his aide was attacked.

What the GOP is lacking isn't so much principles or an agenda.

What the GOP lacks is anyone willing to stand up for anything.

Palin does, spectacularly.

In Massachusetts last go around, Brown did.

Bachmann sure does.

In Florida, Rubio takes no quarter. And it might be noted, Rubio is making noises to support Romney.

Romney's not perfect, but at least he stands up and pushes back.

More than perhaps anything, that is what the GOP needs most.

Maybe it's time to cut Romney some slack, and support him when he speaks up. Which he does more than some others in the GOP "leadership".

Just a thought.

Pretty much does not matter which one is picked, the Reps will screw it up.

Romney can kiss my a** as far as I am concerned. I don’t want any part of him or his politics.

Mitt = FAIL.

I will never vote for this phony-baloney bum. Nor will I support him in any way.

If he is the Republican nominee, I will be actively and openly supporting a 3rd party candidate.

Did Romney have anything to do with RomneyCare?

Is Romney still a gun banner?

Okay, then. Why are we still talking about Slick Willard?

The problem isn't that Romney's not perfect...no one is.

The problem is he's so d@mn flawed.

Let's compare him to another NE politician, Scott Brown.

If anything Scott Brown is more politically and fiscally conservative than Romney.

Yet, there's no way I would ever support Scott Brown for president.

There's no way I could ever support anyone who could be elected to statewide office in Massachusetts, for president.

I have no interest in electing someone who can teach the beast new tricks.

I want someone who understands that the beast is actually an alligator that will inevitably consume us all.

I don't want a better run version of Obamacare, or Romneycare, or whatever the nom-du-jour might be.

SECOND look? Who are you kidding? I for one have already given him a second look -- I think a lot of us did when Thompson dropped out and it was either him, McCain, or Huckabee. I was inclined to support Romney early on for the 2008 election because some people I respected supported him. Then I started reading his words ... listening to his speeches ... and reviewing his record.

Hell, I've given Romney third and fourth looks -- and every time, he looks the same. He believes in cap-and-trade globaloney. He believes in more and bigger government intrusion on private health care choices; indeed, every single solution he's ever suggested to any problem involves more and bigger government. He believes that the government should step in to prevent people from exercising their God-given right to peacefully discriminate against open homosexuality in our midst; in Romney's view, if you don't discriminate in FAVOR of open homosexuality in schools, workplaces, and even in Boy Scout troups, you should be subject to legal punishment.

"Second" look -- what a laugh.

If Pataki runs and is half-way competent, he’ll have a lot of last time’s Romney, Giuliani, and McCain voters, just because he doesn’t have Mitt’s negatives.

Good start on the upcoming FR Romney purge.

Where was Romney during the healthcare debate other than hiding behind the old crippled, Palin-hating bigot Charles Krauthammer and spinster K-lo of the worthless land of betas at NRO? Oh that’s right, the closeted jonathan martin breathlessly informed us that Romney “was strategically working behind the scenes”. Riiight. Why does Romney believe in man-made global warming and why does he want to tax me for it? Why did Romney allow or pay for republican strategists from his campaign to denigrate Palin to the media and to the electorate for the last 20= months, on a daily basis, from September 1, 2008(at the RNC Convention) to today? Why would I vote for this man after this? Is he a weakling or is he that morally corrupt to approve and allow this treatment of this completely honorable and noble blue star Mom, Sarah Palin?
