>> If Slick Willard is the candidate we’re going to war with, I’m a conscientious objector.

ROFL! Tag line material.

Milt Romney is the ONLY candidate who actually
claimed he marched Martin Luther King.

The overcomes that Romney is not a natural born
citizen (since America has had enough of that).

Pretty sad that a candidate that can walk and chew gum at the same time should be able to beat Obama next year but between 100%ers and some pretty poor candidates we may not get someone as qualified as that. I don’t think Romney can take the nomination anyway since the base will decide many of the primaries and he’s not doing well there. (i am no Romney fan,not by a long shot)

Let me preface this by saying I think he author is nuts and Romney wont be and shouldnt be the nominee.

But wont vote for him over Obama? Really? So if given the choice of a 2nd Obama term, with socialism entrenched and liberals on SCOTUS, you’d let that happen?
How’d that “I’m not voting for the RINO” work out in 2008?

We’ll see. IMHO Pawlenty is more likely to be the nominee.

That was total nonsense. Romney is not a front-runner except in the sense the sense that various talking heads say so and even Mr. Rasmussen pointed out that Howard Dean led the polls and was considered the leader of the pack. Yeah, let’s just go with the same freakin candidates because YOU say so...let’s have McCain 2.0....I’m sick and tired of listening to you windbags....let us give someone fresh a chance at this instead of having us settle for a republican that passed Obamacare before Obama and believes that healthcare is the role of the government. It is already starting...people are going to declare RINOs the “viable” candidates....declare the tea party “extreme” and try their best essentially to leave us with the same worthless politicans.

“If we’re going to have a president who believes in global warming, I’d prefer it was a Democrat. John Huntsman is a joke.”

It IS a joke. The elites are apparently smoking crack, thinking we need a second rich mormon businessman RINO ex-governor in the race, as if that category needs more contenders. Truly bizarre.

Or it may just be elite desperation, that they know Romney is past his sellby date and they need someone else (Daniels? oops).

Ah yes, I have 27 issues that every candidate must agree with me upon, or I would rather have a Democrat win.

No, but if said candidate fails on 20 of the 27, what are you winning by voting for him?

Go to war with those two asshats? No thank you, better that Obama wins so the destruction of this country happens sooner that what you will get with the moderate pukes that are listed here.

And make no mistake, Obama, Pawlenty or Romney are not the answers to what is ailing this country, and there are very few degrees of separation between the three.

Anyhow, it probably doesn't matter who wins at this point, with so many in this country willing to elect anyone who promises them more entitlements, or at least the continuance of previously aquired entitlements, there is little chance that this country will right itself without major bloodshed, IMO.

On the other hand, we'll more than likely continue down the path towards becoming outright slaves to the federal government, as few are willing to sacrfice anything towards the goal of returning this country to the path towards prosperity and freedom.

I hope I'm wrong, but the future doesn't bode well for the U.S.

But monetary issues are paramount. Will someone other than Ron Paul ever speak about monetary policy?

Not if they want to win. When it comes to the Fed and the banks, "silent as the grave" seems to be the operative maxim.

It's Romney's turn to lose in 2012. He's no worse than others - and he looks better than McCain. If Republicans can keep the House, make gains in the Senate, and postpone public awareness of the current Greater Depression until 2013, they can hope that the Great Collapse will then take Obama down with it. Or maybe it will just unjustifiably turn him into a savior figure, like Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Ubiquitous media bias in favor of the welfare state can no longer be overcome by mere expressions of principled conservatism. Allen West or Sarah Palin can give rousing speeches all day, but their words boil down to "We're taking away somebody's monthly check," and that isn't going to sell to enough of the voters. Something too big for the talking heads to gloss over is going to have to break before a non-statist can ever win high office again.

Don’t you know that pro-Mitt threads aren’t allowed here at FR?

It's not particularly "pro" Romney as much as a piece resigned to the fact Romney is the frontrunner, the likely nominee, and what that could mean.

Pawlenty, Newt and the "dark horse" candidates won't beat him. If Palin takes a pass, who is going to capture the nomination from Romney?

I want better candidates. The field is truly pitiful. We get the ones we get. 2012 is Obama's to lose. The Republican party is pathetic.

Anybody but Sarah, eh. But preferably Mitt.

I never heard of this guy, but I think he is an, um, Establishment guy of some kind. A friend of Rove and KLo.

I sure can do without this pimpRomney article. I would not vote for him even if he chose Allen West as his running mate and I love Allen West. Hopefully, West would be smart enough to say no way. So his future would not be tainted by the stench of Romney.

Mainly, Americans make Presidential Elections a referendum on the last guy. So, how 0bama is perceived is the key.

That being said, I’ll take any non-libertarian (Ron Paul, etc.) non-Socialist (Romney) Republican.

This guy lives in some kind of drug induced dream world. Romney and West. I don’t think so. I’m for Cain or Bachmann. Bachmann/West would work. If Cain should win he should beg Bachmann to take second spot. If she says no then maybe Bolton. If TPaw takes the nomination he should also try to get West in the second spot.

No thanks....won’t vote for Romney under any circumstances.

Yes you will. Because the alternative is another 4 years of Obama. Romney won’t govern by fiat. And hopefully with a republican senate to go with the congress,the president will be marginalized regardless of party.
