Uh, I hate to break it to you, but the race for the nomination is over.

Rommey won. The nominee will be Romney. Romney will be at the top of the GOP ticket. Not Newt. Not Santorum. Not some mystery, unnanounced, unnamed surprise candidate. Time to face reality. Santorum did the right thing. Newt, being competely addicted to publicity and the sound of his own voice, cant bring himself to do so. Meanwhile, his campaign has no money and he is bouncing checks. Once again: its over.

Like it or not, Romney is our nominee and its time to unite and defeat Dear Leader, El Haj Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama. Defeating Obama is all that matters.

Let me break this to you, but buck-up and please pay attention.

There will be no surrendering here, nor any campaigning or calls for unification or ralling around Romney who's NOT yet the nominee.

YOUR presidential choices today, by Jim Robinson

Romney may well be the nominee. The delegate math is fuzzy, to say the least, but he will probably be so. He will certainly be so if people just give up.

Tough. Stop crying in your beer, it makes it taste awful.

Do you want to be heard, or herded? Primaries are to make your voice heard.

After the convention is time enough to give up and hold your nose (or not), not right now.

“Uh, I hate to break it to you”........ but there is no way in hell that I will vote for your guy, Romney.

As long as Newt is in the race, he will have my support. Folks that push Romney, while Newt is still in, can kiss my a$$.

I have long held that the very moment Romney becomes the nominee, Obama wins another 4 years.

Vote your conscience, I most certainly will mine.

“Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.” ~ Ronald Reagan, from his first inaugural speech as governor of California, January 5, 1967

Ronald Reagan’s warning about losing our freedoms echoes down through a generation of lost momentum and squandered opportunity.

We now have the most ignorant electorate in the history of American elections. I believe we have the most corrupt government and media our country has ever seen.

I believe that Newt was the one leader that could have turned our country away from the abyss, intelligently and quickly.

It is abundantly clear that not enough folks shared my beliefs, instead of a leader, they wanted a preacher.... and far too many lacked the courage to forgive and look beyond the personal sins in a mans past and into the promise of a brighter future for our country. That is certainly a free choice and a personal choice.... and as it is with all choices, there will be consequences.

Romney has a decades long record of support for abortion, Roe v Wade, planned parenthood, gay rights, gun control, global warming, amnesty, liberal judges, big government, compulsory or socialized health care (RomneyCommieCare), mandates, Keynesian economics, support and approval of TARP, bailouts, stimulus packages, and much more.

If YOU can vote for that, be my guest. I will watch this country burn to the damn ground if Romney gets the nomination.

In any case, Americans will get the country it apparently wants and a country it so richly deserves.

“Uh, I hate to break it to you, but the race for the nomination is over.”

Try telling that to Jim Robinson.

Yes. And...

>>Newt Gingrich’s Secret Service is costing taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars a day?
http://hotair.com/archives/2012/04/19/newt-gingrichs-secret-service-is-costing-taxpayers-tens-of-thousands-of-dollars-a-day/

>>But, in one respect, his presence in the race is literally costly. Gingrich’s Secret Service detail reportedly costs taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars a day...The other non-presumptive-nominee still in the race — Ron Paul — has predictably rejected Secret Service protection as a kind of “welfare.” I’d expect nothing less from the nation’s most famous libertarian.

>>It could be that Gingrich could just give up the SS detail rather than his entire candidacy — but, personally, I don’t want Newt Gingrich to forego needed security protection. I’d rather him ask himself: Is my candidacy — and its attendant costs — truly justified? The solution to his waste of taxpayer dollars isn’t to abandon Secret Service protection: It’s to suspend his campaign.
