I read the name “David Corn” and stopped readinbg at that point.
LOL.
At least they’re consistent in what candidate they want the most!
Why don’t you worry about you’re socialist pinko friends David. The right does not need advice since they seem to be pretty strong right now. Why don’t you give the left some cheerleading for Obummer. He needs it desperately right now.
I'm sorry, I know we have some great Freepers from Massachusetts, but anyone who wins there has had to make unforgiveable compromises of principle.
I just don't expect Mitt to ever totally repudiate his track record.
Dream on. He wasn’t in the fight when it mattered. Which means he doesn’t matter.
He’s not even in the running.
Well, the right let them choose McCain so they’re back for more.....
They will gladly ‘help’ us pick the biggest loser possible.
David Cornhole is one of the more despicable, truly rat-faced scumbags alive today, and his "Stifle Palin" screed will gain in volume as its coherence rapidly, and rabidly, deteriorates in the weeks and months to come.
One of the most impressive features arguing heavily in favor of Sarah Palin winning the Primary and becoming the GOP candidate of record for the 2012 General Election will be the aberrant psychoses that the mere mention of her name will engender among the slavering, salivating Dembicile hordes who will amass against her.
Anybody, and I mean anybody, who can generate this level of apoplectic rage in the Dembicile dementiacs is worthy of a vote, even were they not the best candidate on any number of other fronts. As luck would have it, however, Sarah Palin is also that best, most qualified person on all those other fronts, and that is certainly the yummy cream cheese frosting on this lovely, already rising-in-the-oven cake called "Election 2012".
Get yer popcorn ready, this show is about to start.

No more MSNBC approved GOP presidential candidates please.
Although a RINO, I have the impression that Romney would do what the base wants him to. But I really can’t trust that to chance. I want someone (an honest someone) who runs on conservative and founding/constitutional principles, believes them to core of their being, and will be trusted to act in all manners true to those principles concerning both public and secret affairs ... like Reagan.
Your impression of Romney is completely different from mine. Rather than do what “we the people” want, what I expect from Romney is — gays in the military no more DADT, the enactment of ENDA which he supported, govt sponsored use of embryonic stem cells, re-packaged Obamacare also known as Romneycare, neglect of the military, RKBA betrayal by some form of gun control, raising of fees and new mandates, liberal judges planted throughout the federal system, and nationalization of gay marriage. In other words, what Romney did for Massachusetts, he’ll do for the whole country!
You might be correct. I was being a bit more subtle about how I feel about him, and the point is that he can’t be trusted to do what we want even if he started sounding like Thomas Jefferson. And he has back pedaled on alot of things, including health care mandates. Has he had his ‘come to Jesus’ moment and realized how wrong it would be to do the same things at the Federal level one does at the state level and has he realized the true value of federalism? I don’t really think so. But even in the 2008 cycle, when he was running for the nomination, the read between the lines speak was more like ‘I’ll be whatever you want if you just elect me.’
That’s just not enough for me. We need a true believer not a doppleganger.
This will get interesting as time passes. I dont see Romney getting the nom due to the tidal wave of conservatives taking a stand. The RNC is changing from the ground up and the Bush/McCain/Romey/Rove network is crumbling. I can invision a storming of the next RNC convention.
The huckster and his cult will try to muccy the water but that wont last long either.
My guess it will be Barbour or Palin. Palin most likely.
If you’ve heard him backpeddling at all on Romneycare, you’ve heard a lot more than I have. Even if he said he had a ‘come to Jesus’ moment, I would not believe him. His ‘you have to elect me if you want to know exactly what I’ll do’ statement sounds too much like a threat to me. The man can’t be trusted. He lies when the truth would better serve him. He and Obama have a lot in common.
I like Sarah. I have no doubt that she believes what she says. I am a little reserved though because believing in something is only the first step. The next ones are being able to turn those beliefs into results. She is good because she isn’t a seasoned politican, but I think that also detracts from ability to get things done without being shoved through the political ringer by things beyond her control.
Additionally, the Federal govt is a huge bureaucracy and I think the job requires excellent upper management skills to get it focused on the right things and doing what it should be doing. I question whether she has the skills to manage that. I don’t really think she does, so whomever her chief of staff might be would be really important information to have and would likely make the difference for me in the primaries.
If the GOP runs Romney in 2012, Obama will be re-elected with a 30 something percent plurality. Romney will finish third, behind some presently unknown independent.
Immediately, the GOP will begin its final and irrevocable descent into electoral oblivion.
The Palmetto Scoop reported:
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
Poor sport spoiler Romney doing what he does best:
Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"
Huckabee got support last run because there were no good options. We had a Congressman (Congressmen never win the Presidency) conservative in Duncan Hunter, and Thompson who didn’t run hard enough to have a chance, and Huckabee, Romney, and McCain. Huck won’t get much support if there are one or more conservatives running who stand a chance in my opinion. (and I’m a guy that likes Huckabee and his show . . . not a basher at all).
Mitt is the wrong guy as well, and I hope that people realize it. Putting in socialized medicine in Mass. shows that Romney is not good for the economy and his alleged strength on economic issues is bunk. Socialism doesn’t work. Armand Hammer was a successful businessman and a Marxist. Hell, Gore is making a mint with his green business crapola. There a plenty of businessman Democrats and Mitt is one of them.
Who will be blamed?
