It’s very painful to watch all these politicians – even some who are conservatives, don’t get me wrong, but they’re politicians nonetheless – that we all have to rally around, rally around…
Let me tell you something. We have to rally around the Constitution. We have to rally around our children and grandchildren. We have to rally around principles, tried and true principles based on human experience. This isn’t about rallying around some politician. It’s about fighting for our country, taking our country back. This is the process.
But to hear some of these numbskulls who think they’re so smart tell us “yeah there’ve been some people out there who’ve really divided us“. Well then I guess we shouldn’t have a primary! I guess we shouldn’t look at anybody’s record! I guess we should just say ‘John McCain you’re it, Bob Dole you’re it, another Bush you’re it, eh Romney you’re it, this one’s it‘, why do we go through the process? In other words that’s just about as stupid as you can to get to make comments like that.
He goes on to suggest that just because Paul Ryan says to rally around Romney, doesn’t make him want to change his mind.

I am so easily fooled.
No way
“ANY Republican in the White House will be better than what we have.”
RINOmney???????? A Republican????? Ha!
I didn’t vote for Mitt in the primary here in Florida & refuse to vote for him in the November election. I held my nose & voted the party line for Dole & McCain & won’t do it again. As a previous Democrat then Republican it looks like I’m moving to Independent as the parties keep moving to the left & no longer represent my views. The Dems are now the Socialist Party, the Republicans the Democrat Party & I among others are left out as Conservatives.
Sure he was. The president of American Motors. Nice April Fools joke.
I'm seeing a fair number of people going soft on Romney, and it's disturbing.
Ship of fools is getting crowded.

HW Bush
Marko Rubio
Paul Ryan

Although Herman Cain had the best chance of defeating the Kenyan Candidate, Newt is the smartest one left in the 4 remaining and would get the most done if elected president. Santorum’s voting record in senate scares me.
I just googled "George Romney Saul Alinsky." It seems Romney conferred with Alinsky and believed people should listen to him.
I'm not surprised at anything that falls when the Romney tree gets shaken.
“Mark also said something like, People notice, the “insiders” are endorsing Romney.”
This Group Think gets on our nerves, and only makes us want to fight for Santorum more!
Olympia Snowe would be better? Susan Collins would be better? Meghan McCain would be better? Are we certain of this?
I would say ALMOST any Republican, because some are just liberals with an (R) next to their name. In a sense they are worse because they’ll tell you THEY are the genuine Republican and you’re not, and then you’ll have people saying you have to stop criticizing them because we don’t criticize our own (which is exactly what we bash the democrats for not doing).
“I find it interesting that some FReepers who screeched long and loud about Santorum’s endorsement of Arlen Specter years ago are now rationalizing supporting Romney for political reasons.”
Yup.
IMO, anyone that gives aid and comfort to Romney - to include passive support - loses any and all credibility with me.
That he can win the GOP primary is as big, or more so, an outrage to me as than Obama was elected POTUS in 2008.
I expect the general electorate to be stupid. However, when the GOP is....I won’t cut it a break. The party of Ronald Reagan has gone down the toilet.
“ANY Republican in the White House will be better than what we have. If conservatives refuse to vote for the Republican nominee because he is “not conservative” enough, then they will probably not have to worry about voting in 2016.”
HOWEVER, this is the PRIMARY season, and we still have a chance to get a CONSERVATIVE in the White House.
Romney doesn’t have as many delegates as he has claimed, because the RNC rules require that states, who held their primaries before April 1, cannot be Winner-Take-All states, so Romney will lose delegates, including Florida.
“We’ve got to TRY to stop him in the primaries.”
And pledge to NEVER support him in a general election. It is the only way to possibly salvage the GOP before it becomes a milder form of the DNC.
“Even Breitbart, in his last speech, said that he would rally around whoever gets the nomination.”
Which hopefully will be Santorum, especially if we don’t cave this early.
Interestingly some of the people who used to frequent the Palin threads two or three years ago to disparage her and her potential candidacy, are the ones who are ABO (meaning for Romney).
Let’s get real. Herman Cain did not have a chance of beating anybody.
If Mitt gets the nomination, even if he wins the election, we need to start a new party on Nov. 7 which excludes the GOP establishment. At a minimum it should help scare Willard to right on his policies, should he win.
...it's like weeding out the tares from the wheat.
GO WHEAT!!!....PRESS ON SANTORUM!
