Nope. I'm a Palin fan as well though, much to your chagrin, I'm sure.

Wow. You gleaned all of that about me just from my asking a question? I thought only Ron Paul cultists had that power.

They both have their negatives and positives. I see no perfect candidate in 2012 yet.

I don't either, but I see some I like, such as Pence, DeMint, Bachmann, Palin, Barbour...

Mitt Romney is not remotely under my consideration. We had McCain on the ticket in '08. Let's not repeat that travesty.

It will only result in Obama. Again.

Well, since Demint supported Romney, you will probably want to take him of your short list.

Nah...I'm not obsessive or worshipful.

I just don't like Mitt Romney.

Or any leftists, really.

Joe Kennedy Sr actually spent some coin buying JFKs books, actually both were ghost written, to propel them to top seller status.

[RRTJSP...........]

Mitt Romney is a loser and couldn’t get elected to anything..........except in Utah..........

[ARepublicanForAllReasons]

Bulk orders, LOL.

No Apologies, coming soon to a bargain book bin near you.

Way too early to buy 2012 campaign advertising:

This is a much more efficient use of campaign money.

Just saying.

Mitt RomneyCARE (D, Carpetbagger):
“Shhhhhh. I Was For The Obama Bailout ....
Before I Was Against It”

“Romney praises Obama
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

Palin’s ghostwriter for Going Rogue is named Lynn Vincent. I’m sure Romney had one as well, but don’t know who it was.

Help me understand why since you think Mitt is leftist, and Demint supported him and voted for him, why you would think Demint would be worth voting for? Is that not completely contrary to your political view?

[Bigtigermike]

Don’t you get? these FR trolls attacking Sarah, saying that she is a RINO because she supports McCain, so he was twisting the words around this time on Demint.

Like I said, you guys better take him off your list if you can’t tolerate Mitt.

[Allegra]

Is that not completely contrary to your political view?

I don't really care that much about endorsements at this point.

DeMint's political views are much closer to my own than those of some self-promoting leftist like Mitt Romney.

[Ripliancum]

I’m still not seeing how you can separate the two. If you’re looking for the ideal conservative candidate, and like one who supports the policies of someone you hate politically, I don’t understand the disconnect.

You can't understand because there is no such thing as an "ideal candidate."

What so many people fail to grasp is that these are human beings, just like we are. And they're politicians, for crying out loud. Yet, I see people pretty much worshiping one candidate or another.

I don't worshoip candidates or any other human beings.

I'm a conservative. I'm going to vote for conservatives.

Mitt Romney is not a conservative.

It's that simple.

[Ripliancum]

The disconnect is not only there, but it says that all politicians can be human, except for Mitt.
I love Demint and his values, including his endorsements last cycle.

Shaking my head.

[Allegra]

The disconnect is not only there, but it says that all politicians can be human, except for Mitt.

Where did I say that? All I said was that I don't like Mitt Romney. He's too leftist for me.

When you have to attribute words to someone that were never said, you have lost the argument.

{Shaking my head.}

Have a nice day.

[Ripliancum]

Giving all others a pass, but not allowing Mitt to have to compromise with a Democratic legislature in Mass.

If for no other reason than he is solidifying a conservative platform, the people that elect him won’t tolerate him shifting left. I for one would have a hard time imagine him blowing off his entire base.

Maybe you should use ‘google’ and read about Palin’s bulk buys. Everyone does it, but heaven forbid you don’t have your boogeyman.

In your haste to attack Palin and defend Romney, you forgot to "google".

Palin bought a few of her MILLIONS of books from the publisher at wholesale to sell for fund raising, that is cheap and it does not inflate the retail book sale numbers. The daggers on the NYTs list indicates that someone was making bulk purchases at full retail prices, which is only done for one reason, to pass as purchases by the general public and to falsely inflate book sales to get onto the best seller list.

[ansel12]

Like I said, you guys better take him off your list if you can’t tolerate Mitt.

DeMint has already done that.
