The posts on this thread illustrate perfectly why “conservatives” are now saddled with Mittens. They are so easily manipulated...Hope you all enjoy the Mittens/OBamalini race...or is it the Obamalini/Mittens race....or does it making any difference which one wins (other than that Mittens would be a president with better hair and is a little smarter)?
Can you say “Ross Perot” ?
Can you say "Read My Lips?"
I am not concerned about a Ron Paul third party run. He is likely to drawl more loonies from Obama than he would from our candidate.
“Ron Paul Still Running For Some Reason...”
Did Harold Stassen need a “reason” to run?
It’s about the journey, not the destination...
Oh right. I forgot. All those Ron Paul attack ads against Santorum and Gingrich musta wore off.
Paul knows them.
That’s it! RP “attack ads” doomed - I say doomed! - the Santorum and Gingrich campaigns. Funny, though,...I don’t remember either Gingrich or Santorum expressing any concern about RP ads...I thought they were PO’d at some other guy with a lot of money and support from the R establishment blanketing the airwaves with outright lies. Golly...I must be “misremembering” what happened.
“Maybe he really wants to be President. Or maybe he wants the exposure for his cause because he is a true bleiever. Or maybe he just has a giant ego and wont let go of it”
I believe it is the former.
And his foreign policy is STILL insane.
I only know that I was prepared to give Ron Paul the benefit of the doubt until he ran all those vicious attacks on everyone not named “Ron Paul” (and by the way...anyone not named “Mitt Romney”) in the SC primaries. The guy’s a scumbag and monomaniac who Gingrich and Santorum wisely chose to ignore.
BINGO
He knew he never had a snowballs chance in hell, but saw nice retirement and lots of publicity for a wlideyed Martian.
It may have been, but as stands now it should backfire on him because of the concerted effort by conservatives to take down this GOPe.
Now it's just a question are conservatives going to go for it at the convention?
Remember this, Romney has to get PLEDGED delegates!
The GOP has become unhinged and crazy.
“I will not be voting repub....” Please continue to try to dictate the terms of Obama’s replacement, refusing to accept the fact of the two party system and make the best choice to vote. I can remember my step-mom prouding claiming she voted for Snoopy in 76/80 timeframe. Just understand that your voice is your vote. If you dislike the democrats then vote republican or for a candidate who opposes them. At a Tea Party supporter, I try to find the most fiscal responsible person. I hate Romeny, but he will absolutely be more fiscally responsible as president than Obama - not even a trick question. I don’t agree with half of what Romeny stands for, however, I will take him or Obama’s agenda anyday.
ROMNEY
Mitt Romney is the Millard Fillmore of the GOP...
Ladies and Gentlemen, the LAST Republican President...
Ooops, here is better pic of him...
Fillmore appointed Brigham Young as the first governor of the Utah Territory in 1850.[15] In gratitude for creating the Utah Territory in 1850 and appointing Brigham Young as governor, Young named the territorial capital “Fillmore” and the surrounding county “Millard”.
WOW had no idea about THIS little nugget...
OR this:
Taylor and Fillmore disagreed on the slavery issue in the new western territories taken from Mexico in the Mexican–American War. Taylor wanted the new states to be free states, while Fillmore supported slavery in those states to appease the South. In his own words: “God knows that I detest slavery, but it is an existing evil ... and we must endure it and give it such protection as is guaranteed by the Constitution.”
I am sure mitt will keep supporting those entitlement programs that are a form of slavery as Mitt will say it is “protected by the constitution” in much the same way Millard Fillmore will.
He may not be the perfect candidate, but he isn’t crazy, monomaniacal, or a scumbag. Unfortunately, a similar treatment was given to every leading Mittens alternative by the partisans of candidates who were not leading. The result is Mittens. I hope everyone is happy. Once Huntsman and Pawlenty were gone, I could have lived with anyone but Mittens.
