Gee, I read all of this last fall before I decided that Romney would make the best Republican norminee for POTUS. Nothing new here.

In my opinion the only true thinker is Newt and he is neutered.

I like Newt a lot. He is brilliant. Newt seems to like Romney:

Asked on Fox News whether there was a vacuum of conservative candidates, Gingrich replied: “There’s probably a vacuum, but you have to be fair. Gov. Mitt Romney is working very hard to fill that vacuum, and may well succeed.”

Well, if a liberal Republican governor, the leader of his party in his state, governs in such a way as to forward the Left's agenda more than any Democrat ever could have, and leave's the GOP in utter ruins, and then shamelessly lies about it all, and that doesn't bother you?....little could, I would suppose. Have at it.

Maybe he'll convert to Buddhism tomorrow... No, that wouldn't get him the nomination.

Uhh, what's more important, signing a "No New Taxes" pledge, or actually not raising taxes? Please, that's nuts.

That's just what Michael Moore does.

Let's say I said this:

"I think it's terrible that there are people who like molesting children. They should be put in jail! I wish I had access to them, the molesters. I'd beat the s#!t out of anybody who molested a child."

My own words, according to people like you and your gay, Mormon-bating friend:

"I...like molesting children...I wish I had access to them..."

That's my words all right. And it's a flat out lie. Just like most of the things you say.

Heck, I think even Ronald Reagan may have liked Romney. We know Michael Reagan has given him his support.

I think what Reagan said about compromise is enlightening:

When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it. "Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.

I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'

If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

~~ Ronald Reagan, in his autobiography, An American Life .

Who do you think are these radical conservatives Ronald Reagan was referring to?

To paraphrase Ann Coulter.....don't we cut him some slack after all he was the guvna of the people republic of Massachusetts. One question I might have for my fellow freepers is would you support a "pro-choice" canidate if you were conviced he/she was the best to deal with the Islamofacists?

Twice now, I have seen Ann sing the praises of Romney. And we know she's smarter than all of us put together! (just kidding!)

Once was on O'Reilly - link here from an earlier FR thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1715902/posts

...also here: http://floridiansforromney.blogspot.com/2006/10/ann-coulter-now-picking-romney.html

....and the other time was last week with Alan Colmes on H&C: http://www.mymanmitt.com/2007/01/ann-coulter-supports-romney-how-about.asp

Hmmm....looks like Laura Ingraham is on the bandwagon based on that last article as well.

At least he's pro life and has enough sense to see that abortion is murder. That is more than can be said for some other Republican candidates.

I didn't know that Annie & Laura both supported Romney (my Ann Coulter comment was a paraphrase of what she said about Guliani). I suspect they believe that Romney is the most conservative republican who they think has a chance to win the general election.

Speaking of Ann Coulter she will be on the Bill O'Reilly TV show on wednesday night. She's replacing the vacationing Dennis Miller.

I am confused by your paraphrase then since Romney was the Mass governor and Rudy was the NYC mayor. Oh well.

THAT should be interesting.

Annie was on Hannity & Colmes once and Alan Colmes was running down the list of Guliani's positions on various positions on arious social issues and Annie said something to the effect that hey he was mayor of the Soviet Union.

Romney? Hardly.

"I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a US Senate candidate. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years we should sustain and support it." - Mitt Romney
