Romney Shoots and Scores!

Prolly wraps up the Fraternal Order of Police endorsement...

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Wouldn't it be interesting if the dems came up with a pro RKBA candidate? I hate to say it, but a lot of folks might be tempted.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Likely this is a very important endorsement for Romney--but I just think it is too early to be talking about putting him "...over the top".

Everything is still very fluid, and should be, this far out.

Exactly.  The undecided voters are paying more attention to who wins American Idol.

[Beagle8U]

If the RATS were to run Richardson at the top of their ticket the current top 3 Republicans would be in serious trouble.

Lets hope they are too stupid to do that.

"I will never vote for a Massachusetts politician. Ever."

What about Ted Kennedy?

Even when I lived in Taxachusetts, I never voted for Teddy the Red Nosed Senator. Neither him nor "the Duke". I was outta there before Horse Face ran, so I never got to vote against him too in a state race.

[T.Smith]

"What about Ted Kennedy?"

As long as he is running for Hell's cabana boy he has my vote.

[Vermont Lt]

Empty Suit bump. He looks really good in it though. Love his hair.

Is the NRA going to endorse Romney? How about GOA?

The NRA gives Romney a B rating. Jim DeMint (SC- R), with an A GOA rating, has endorsed Romney, so I don't think he is too concerned about that issue either.

Romney on guns:

“Americans should have the right to own and possess firearms as guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. I’m proud to be among the many decent, law-abiding men and women who safely use firearms.” - Governor Mitt Romney, 01-12-2007

Also, in 2005, Romney designated May 7 as “The Right to Bear Arms Day” in Massachusetts to honor “the right of decent, law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms in defense of their families, persons, and property and for all lawful purposes, including the common defense.”

[redgirlinabluestate]

In case you didn't notice, I opened my comments that Romney's awareness of the need to reach out to SoCons is an advantage over Rudy and McVain.

It certainly is. I only hope that the entrenched Hunter fans may join with the Romney fans to assure a more conservative victory in the primaries.

Here's another good thing about having Bopp on board:

It is also important on another level. James Bopp is one of the leading opponents of Campaign Finance Reform Laws, or put another way: McCain-Feingold.

If I were Hunter or the other candidates, I'd throw my support behind Rudy or Romney and hope to be picked for VP.

The other candidates are too focused on social issues and have no chance of winning in the general.

The other candidates are too focused on social issues and have no chance of winning in the general.

Hunter's primary focus is military readiness, last I checked.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

The democrats are chomping at the bit with hope that Rudy, McCain or Romney will be the MSM and RNC choice for POTUS as any of the three will lose.

I stand by what I mean, none of your three can win a national election against any democrat!

[Antoninus]

National Right to Life is the same group which opposed South Dakota's abortion ban. In this, they were on the same side as Planned Barrenhood.

I stopped giving to them long ago. In my opinion, they've been co-opted by those who make a living off the issue.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Hunter's primary focus is military readiness, last I checked.

Economic issues will be a huge factor in the 2008 election. No matter who's President, they're going to have to deal with the WOT. That's a given.

Hunter voted in favor of Medicare D, CFR, Transportation bill, and Kennedy's Education bill. To me, he's another Nixon, without the sleaze of course.

[Antoninus]

I stand by what I mean, none of your three can win a national election against any democrat!

I agree. I think nominating any of them would pretty much ensure a GOP loss. The conservative base would simply fold up their chairs and go home.

Hunter voted in favor of Medicare D, CFR, Transportation bill, and Kennedy's Education bill. To me, he's another Nixon, without the sleaze of course.

Yeah, and Romney signed onto out-right Socialized Medicine in Massachusetts.

Hunter voted for the same things Bush signed. He's not even in the same league as Rudy McRomney when it comes to being big government liberals.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I stand by what I mean, none of your three can win a national election against any democrat!

Believe in your fairy tale then.

That large swath of knuckle-headed voters who owe no allegiance to any political party and vote for whomever they feel like it? You gotta FIGHT for those votes without coming across as an Dim socialist or Repub religious zealot. Brownback, Tancredo, and Hunter all are incumbent Congresscritters with zero executive experience. They might win the hearts of conservatives in the primaries but will get blown away in the general.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

The sorriest people are the ones with no values, no left wing ideas like welfare can be passed nationally with out their help.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I agree. I think nominating any of them would pretty much ensure a GOP loss. The conservative base would simply fold up their chairs and go home.

So if Rudy or Romney wins the primaries, that means conservatives voted for them then during the primaries. You're in favor of nullifying the will of primary voters to stay home in a snit in the general and let the Dim win. How nice of you.

[redgirlinabluestate]

Yeah, and Romney signed onto out-right Socialized Medicine in Massachusetts.

You are either deliberately repeating that falsehood over and over or you are confusing it with Hillary's plan. Newt Gingrich supported Romney's plan as it mirrors his own. Check it out on Newt's website.
