Sucker Punched Again
BizPacReview.com ^ | Michael Dorstewitz

In 2008, I was a strong Mitt Romney supporter and was looking forward to casting my vote for him. Then, on Jan. 26, a mere three days before the primary, then-popular Gov. Charlie Crist sucker punched me by endorsing John McCain. I knew then that it was all over, and it was. Crist’s choice for the GOP presidential nominee became Florida’s choice.

I was sucker punched again two years later, this time by both the Republican Party of Florida and the Republican National Senatorial Committee.

Mitt Romney may be conservative for a Mass politician but anywhere outside the eastern seaboard he is a flaming liberal. Look how everyone was so high on Scott Brown but he is not much more conservative than the lesser Lib D’s in the senate. If Romney is the nominee it will be a low turnout lots of third party votes at the top of the ticket all through the South and Obama will be returned to the White house to finish the destruction of our country

I totally agree. Although I supported Mitt four years ago, I don’t now. The fact that he STILL supports and defends RomneyCare, added to the fact that he now seems to support man-made global warming (hasn’t he ever heard of ClimateGate?) convinces me we can do a lot better this go around.

Even if Romney wins we still get full blown Obamacare, and full blown cap and tax, carbon trading, no nukes, no Thorium, no oil no shale oil, no coal, no food corn and no economy.

The problem is Mitt's religion.

It depends.

Is your goal to spread information or to get blog hits?

I agree. That was the point of the post. If Florida get a January primary, we’ll end up with Romney, when there are better out there.

If a blogger doesn’t want his material posted here, he shouldn’t post it. Blog pimping is unwelcome. Can’t make it any plainer than that.

Your contributions are appreciated but many here correctly assume that when you post an excerpt to your blog that you’re looking for hits for financial gain, especially those of you who rarely comment.

A suggestion from this moderator: Post full text from you blog and ask nicely for a hit to your link.

Freepers will treat you much more kindly if you heed this advice.
