For all of you Gingrich and Sanatorum lovers, were you the 2 and 1 percent who wanted him this time last year? Are you saying in April 2011 these two were your guys!?!?! I have Gingrich’s books, I think he is probably the smartest policy guy in the last 15 years, however he was never a viable candidate to win the primary. As conservative as Gingrich appears now, he changed stripes by 1996 and started playing to the media and to compromise. Sanatorum is what he is, hardly a die hard conservative. As I have repeated numerous times, I am not a Romney fan , nor did I vote or support him in the primaries. However he is by far better for this country then four more years of Obama. Again, if all you bashers truly want the best for America, the choice, while painful to you, is definitely Romney. Remember , as whacked out as Obama has been to date, he still had to run for re-election, turn this joker loose without worrying about anything but what he wants and we may truly never recover.

We do want the best for America and we do want to beat Obama, your problem is either you don't believe the historical record of Romney (Lying, Progressive Liberal) or you want to hope and believe that someone how he has changed or will change, or will be forced to change, and nothing about his record supports that hope.

And whether or not he changes or can even change from his record, it is immaterial.

It is his record that Obama and the Media will use to destroy him.

It is his lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal that makes it inevitable that Obama wins hands-down if Romney is the nominee.

I agree with your sentiments. Mine are very similar. I'm choosing to deal with the reality of the situation...not what I want things to be. I want ed Gingrich to kick Romney's A$$, but apparently this isn't happening.

I'm taking the advice of Sarah, Mark and Rush: “Anybody But Obama.”

Oh, and one more thing, we aren't bashing Romney, we are, however, telling the truth about him.

I realize as a supporter of Romney you probably wish we would just ignore his record, but we can't, it's how conservatives judge their GOP candidates.

Sanatorum is what he is, hardly a die hard conservative.

Santorum was both my Congress Critter for 4 years and also my US Senator for 12 years. And I agree with you absolutely.

He was a Conservative at election time --- especially on social issues, but very 'flexible' the rest of the time -- especially on fiscal issues. He always did what he had to do to keep his seat. I was never particularly enamored with him. He was 'suitable' at best and fortuniate that for those 16 years, the Democrats only ran left wing cream puffs against him. Once he ran against a supposidly 'pro-life' Democrat, (Bob Casey) he was toast.

As I have repeated numerous times, I am not a Romney fan , nor did I vote or support him in the primaries. However he is by far better for this country then four more years of Obama.

I agree 100%. But four more years of this crap we're going through my be the end of us. There my be no hope to recover our country.

We'll both catch a lot of flack for saying this on a red meat forum, but we really have no choice but Romney now. That's the facts.

I just pray that if elected, Romney can roll back some of the crap Obama has done to us and do something to clean out the leftists who have infected the Federal bureaucracies.

That's all I ask for now.

I will say this. Four years ago, I really had to hold my nose when voting for McCain. He was in Washington for far too long and thought that somehow Washington was the beginning and end of everything.

This November, I won't be holding my nose, but I won't be dancing either. I'll just cast my vote and say a little prayer that Romney does not have the Washington disease.
