The Alternative is a Failed Commie Marxist and your point is?
Where do we go from here? We go to the polls and we vote for Romney, then after he loses we send all of our savings and money to the Obama Government and they will send us what they think we need.
Obama is not running against Romney. Obama is running against the economy, and he is going to lose to the economy. Romney only profits from Obama’s loss. In a good economy for Obama’s re-election, then yes, Romney would be unelectable.
The overwhelming majority of the morons in Massachusetts agree 100% with those positions and would not elect anyone who did take those positions.
You can't do squat if you are not elected and Romney pushed the edge of the envelope for conservative policies as far as possible in Massachusetts, which is not much.
For the record, most of Romney's current positions for running as a national Presidential candidate are much different than the ones you list, so to some extent they are disingenuous.
As Governor, Romney followed through with his promises regardless of his personal views on the issue so there is a good chance he will follow through with his “new” positions and promises - even though they are diametrically opposed to his earlier positions.
Have you forgotten that even Ronaldus Magnus was once the head of the Screen Actor's Guild, the very left wing actors union and was also a very ardent Democrat who became the greatest American President of the 20th Century.
Both Reagan and Romney have learned how deal with left wing Democrats from hard won experience
Love your tag line!
I absolutely agree with you that the key question is “Where do we go from here?”
Supporting Romney serves the goal of beating Obama, as others in this thread have noted. The trouble is that that’s a short-term goal. The longer-term effect of conservative support for Romney is to encourage, strengthen, and even entrench the RINOs.
Voting third party promotes the long-term goal of giving voters a conservative alternative, because it makes clear to Republican Party leadership that the path to victory is the Reaganite path.
Even if we’re stuck with Romney as the nominee in 2012, do you want to be stuck with him again in 2016?
Obama is the gift that gets Romney in by default.
Romney, at best, is a finger waving of “I can’t and we cannot” as a Republican. He should get out of the way. Things need to move and he is not moving out the way.
Democrates have the stupidest policies, but, at least, when push comes to shove, their “moderate” guys get out the freaking way for law modifiers.
However, with Romney, I think we got some kind of antigun nut stalinist like Bloomberg.
Yes, but if 0bama gets in again, it's game over. I don't think we get another chance to make a mistake. Romney is not what the country needs, but ...

Yes, but at also assures Husein of another term. Again I really don't think we get another shot here. Think of the closing scene in Thelma & Louise, with 0bama driving the car. That's where the country's headed.
Even if we’re stuck with Romney as the nominee in 2012, do you want to be stuck with him again in 2016?
No I don't, but we're in a bind, we don't have the luxury of saying "maybe 4 more years of 0bama will teach the GOP a lesson.", it won't. IMHO we'll worry about 2016 starting in 2014.
You are absolutely correct. Newt and Rick were all about their egos, they beat each other to a pulp and allowed Mitt to get the nod. Yes the RINO establishment also played their part, but what's done is done and sadly, we're stuck with it. That being said, you can vote GOP and starting in 2014, start working on the next election or you can cash in your chips, sit home and watch the Kenyan/Marxist get in. If that's the choice I'm not sure you get another chance in 2016.
Perhaps, but if you sit home or go 3rd party then that's a certainty.
This is a strange time to be in Free republic.
Here yankee Reb says I need to go to the polls and vote for Romney in a couple of my posts others are saying how stupid I am for doing it because Romney is no conservative.
There is much indecision and wrong decision ging on here lately , but Yankee needn’t worry, I will vote for Romney when he is officially our candidate. Until then I pray for a miracle, because Romney sucks.
The bible is not comparable to old news.
No it isn’t. The bible is timeless. This article that you keep posting is not.
and repetitive and boring, in this case.
Romney was also NOT my candidate.
Many conservatives DID NOT SUPPORT NOR WANT Romney, but also see things differently than those who share your opinion.
If one truly believes that this President is the worst in history (as I do), and is digging our country and our future into the largest hole with every SINGLE DAY that he is in office, then THIS has to be the priority above all else to make sure that he is removed from office as quickly as possible.
Let me put it to you this way.
If our country is facing an enemy threat directly at our borders, every able bodied person should join in the fight to save our country. Those who choose to stay home because the General leading the effort is not the most desired, the best or the most capable, deserve to face the tyranny that awaits them with a potential defeat.
The only difference? The enemy is already here!!!
