The talking heads in the media are all tingly that "Mitt"-for-brains Romney is "winning" the GOP Primary polls by "double digits" because he got 27% in a Florida poll. You expect this kind of baloney from CNN but even "Fox and Friends" was repeating this nonsense this morning.
Since Romney has 27% and Palin (who is not even running yet) has 17% and Bachman and all others get 10% or less, they report this as somehow showing Romney being in the lead, and a repudiation of the TEA party in the GOP.
This is totally ass-backwards. Romney is LOSING by over 45%
When EVERY OTHER CANDIDATE is more conservative than you, then that means that 73% of the people want someone more conservative than Mitt.
The exact opposite of how they are reporting this
Even FOX News (especailly O'Reilly) is reporting this backwards.
Call them and complain!
We need to stop this "winner take all" primary method in GOP primaries. That is how we got McLame and Bob Dole
But it’s his turn and he has an R after his name. Come on people, get with the program. It’s for the good of the party.
Ummm...no
What more do you need to know?
Romney can be nominated with 27 percent because the conservatives are divided again.
At this point it’s Rick Perry’s to loose; outside Palin throwing her hat in the ring.
His past will always be an albatross around his neck, no matter how much repenting he does.
I'm one of thoes.
Read my tag line.
Huntsman and Romney are topic of favor with Mika and Joe.
That says it all!
Every poll, every comment and every reply to questions regarding the Conservative candidate is, if not subliminally, overtly tagged this way.
With the exception of the evil enemy (redundant, I know ... ).
Don’t go away mad Mitt, just go away.
bill o’reilly runs an entertainment show.
his probing mind examines a nightely herd of moo cows.
What I'm hearing from most people is that they are holding out for the real deal.
Sadly, the nomination process has become a popularity contest based upon little else than public appeal again.
I understand that public appeal is important, but Romney aside, who knows what policy differences exist between the candidates?
Can't at least conservatives focus on the issues?
>>> Romney LOSING in GOP polls, 73% want someone else
And even more then that want somebody else then the other listed alternatives including Palin and Bachman. So what’s your point? NONE of them has truly caught on.
Perry may see this as an opportunity. Don’t you think?
If Romney becomes the nominee, we voters will have a choice between Obama and his twin.
Boys and girls: We need a CONSERVATIVE!
I see Romney as a serious existential threat to the GOP and I don’t think there’s any reason to underestimate that. By your logic, 80-90% want someone other than any of the other alternatives, however, so I don’t really see what that gets us.
In a three way vote Sarah Palin could defeat them both and get over 50% of the vote.
In a two way election, Sarah Palin would get over 60% against either. Let Romney run as the Democrat he is.
