As I've mentioned; I was first a diehard Palin supporter, by when she decided not to run, I put my energy and hope behind Cain, when Cain decided to drop out, I got firmly behind Newt (and to a lesser degree Santorum). As this primary has worked it's way through, a majority of primary voters have supported Romney in larger numbers than the other candidates. Yes, I understand these wins aren't bringing out record turnouts, but Romney has garnered more votes than the other candidates.

Myself and others have said this until we're blue in the face, but I'll attempt one more time. In three short years Obama has destroyed the economy, raised unemployment rates, increased energy costs, killed the space program, and set race relations back 40+ years. If he wins a second term, and anohter four more years as Thug-in-chief, what do you think the results will be? Let me help you: WE WILL BE UTTERLY DESTROYED! Do you seriously think 2016 will matter a hill of beans if this Marxist wins a second term? Hell no...we're finished! Am I afraid of this prospect? Hell yes!

We know what a second term of Obama will bring about...utter destruction of our country and way of life. This America hating, Marxist has it as his final solution to destroy our nation as founded. He's said as much! While far from perfect, those of us who've decided to vote for Romney, should he win the primary, see him as a much better alternative to Obama. As it appears now, this election will be between Obama and Romney. There is NO WAY IN HELL, I'm going to not vote, vote 3rd party, or do a write in. Think whatever you want, but any of these three actions will benefit Obama. I will not be a party to helping to elect this America hating thug! whatever romney is, at least he doesn't hate America and has as his mission, desire to transform it from it's founding!

One last point; I find it a bit discus ting to watch several FReepers (not necessarily this thread) trash Romney as the nominee, when many of these folks joined with Politico and other Left-leaning rags in trashing our early GOP contenders. How times did i hear Freepers trashing Bachman or Santorum saying: “Yep, they're just not ready for prime time!” It was shameful watching FReepers gladly join along with Politico and the many bogus allegations about Cains “affairs.” And now many of these folks express outrage that we're stuck with Romney? Sorry, but these folks who helped pile onto our candidates hold at least some responsibility for where we are today.

We find it totally disgusting that you would turn tail and vote for one of those that helped destroy our first pick!

Save your hot air for the fools at foxnews.com or cnn.com!

HEARTILY agree. I was dismayed with the circular firing squad. I entertained supporting all, ended up deciding to support Perry about a month before he dropped out. Then I switched to Newt. But I DID NOT bash the other candidates - did compare records and statements here and there, but repeatedly said I’d support whoever ended up nominated, and that all candidates were better than Obama.

Correction, I was pretty critical of Paul. But that’s all.
