Romney’s about as bad as any Bush. Stop wringing your hands over it. It’s unbecoming.

Do you really think the GOPe did it to us? Toward the end either Newt or Santorum could have dropped out and backed the other guy. Neither did. Why?

Because they’re either all part of the conspiracy? It’s because they’re all politicians. Newt, Santorum the whole bunch slip around issues and have to tow the line. It won’t be politicians or some modern conservative savior that rights America. It will be people just like us.

Romney is to the right of Obama, flaws and all. We all know that, at least every FReeper who draws breath does. Obama is the worst, Romney’s an improvement.

If you’re convinced they want to lose then voting for Romney is logical. You’re going to get Obama so what difference does it make. I actually don’t think that’s your issue.

The issue is having a Mormon, someone you don’t believe is Christiian or perhaps you believe he’s of the Devil, as President of the United States. Had conservatives or moreso the candidates they supported coalesced around a single standard bearer you’d not have Mitt to worry about.

That said in today’s climate you’d struggle to elect a Reagan at the national level. Reagan’s demographic has passed on already. In its place is a demographic that’s been indoctrinated. Bush I & II along with Clinton helped continue the work with bad tax/spend policies. That’s the political reality we face.

We’re better off with the most conservative Congress and a never ending pledge to keep it that way. Next get rid of Obama. Then free our children from government schools, get Constitutional Carry, continue to limit abortion, etc. It’s a long road and we don’t get there with an Obama 2nd term. It shifts the moral center away from our side.

It was like watching the Obama campaign in action.

The Michigan Republican Party (MRP) Credentials Committee voted 4-2 last night to give Mitt Romney both of the state's at-large delegates, State Policy Committee Chair Mike Cox told MIRS today.

Cox was one of two "no" votes on the committee which met via telephone, along with attorney Eric Doster The "yes" votes included GOP National Committeeman Saul Anuzis, a Romney supporter, and MRP Chair Bobby Schostak.

That would put the delegate split at 16 for Romney and 14 for Rick Santorum, after each candidate won 14 delegates apiece in those divided by Michigan's 14 congressional districts.

As MIRS first reported on Wednesday, the MRP was delaying a final decision on the delegate split until after consulting with attorneys.

Cox said that according to the MRP rules, Santorum and Romney should each get one of Michigan's two at-large delegates based on their take of the popular vote.

"I supported Mitt, but the vote was clearly wrong," Cox said of the Credentials Committee. "It's kind of like Third World voting. We published rules and then we voted to change the rules."

Because The Narrative Cannot Survive A Rewrite

Mormon has never been my issue, 1010RD. I’m a retired military chaplain. I’ve had mormon commanders, mormon troops, mormon colleagues, and provided religious support for mormons for years as part of my job. I’m simply not afraid of mormons in any way, shape, or form. I even co-authored a “spiritual dimensions of family living” program with my neighbor, a mormon. So, wrong person, wrong issue.

I guarantee you, that if my co-author were the one running, I’d be supporting him.

Because he’s a conservative.

Romney is a radical liberal. You know it, I know it, and the entire literate political world knows it.

That is the basis of my objection to Romney, and any perusal of my posts all the way back to his first presidential run shows it.

But, it’s America, and you’re free to believe what you want to believe.

However, if you don’t believe that the GOP-E wants to lose, can you believe that they want to send subtle messages to the soft-on-gay-issues moderates and liberals that Romney is their secret friend? That way they can get them on board and at the same time not enflame the ABO conservatives who are supporting them.

In that case, this post aligns with Romney’s own strategy. You should like that.
