Let’s not. The MSM, including the National Review, will not be choosing our next President. WE THE PEOPLE will be and if you are going to be lazy enough to just take the word of National Review, then you are just gullible.
I am a proud Republican and will support the candidate who is nominated by our party. I will not work for the party to just vote in one more RINO.
FRED THOMPSON (true consistent Conservative Federalist) - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (I’ll do whatever it takes to stop the bastards, include water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (arm all legal citizens and criminals will become more hesitant) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (don’t give them sanctuary anywhere, don’t hire them, don’t rent to them, don’t give them credit, don’t give them rights they don’t deserve, report all crimes committed by them, they will go home or we will deport them) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost with the laws currently on the books) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM (reform a program that can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt this nation) - DEFEAT THE DEMOCRAT (any fool they put up) – TAX SIMPLIFICATION (choice for the tax payer) - WON’T PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE MSM (including stupid questions by moderators) - PING!
btt
If I trusted Romney, I’d be willing to support him too. But I remember Bob Dole - conservative as all get out until he had the nomination sewn up...the next day, he became Mr Moderate.
Given how Romney has campaigned before, I’d have to expect him to pull a Dole as well!
Great post. Romney is a good choice, and the article endorsing him is VERY logical. Say NO to Hickabee.
I’m a Southern evangelical who’s sick of the Bush and Huckabee sort. We need competence, not someone to make us FEEL good.
Based on this guy’s weasely answers to HH’s questions, I’m not so sure about WFB endorsing Mitt. To my mind, if WFB wants to endorse someone, he’s going to do it on his own.
It’s how Lieberman beat Weicker in CT.
Lowery wouldn’t have said he ‘signed off on it’ unless he had done so. You can take that to the bank.
I agree wee need competence, not just someone who makes us feel good. on the other hand I suspect that if Bush had a little better rhetorical skills he might have appeared more competent, reducing the attacks and the snowballing “He’s an idiot” effect.
I agree. Under Bush, we've had no attacks since 9/11 (early in his term), and the economy has gone from near recession to humming along. Given that I'm of the opinion that the only things gov't can do well is keep us safe and keep our economy healthy, I think he's done the important things right - just not explained well why they are.
However, I have to agree with NR and Mitt himself--when they both stated that Mitt is the only remaining viable candidate who has any possibility of uniting the 'three pillars' of social conservatives, fiscal conservatives and national defense hawks--which have historically been the base of the Party.
Giuliani, Huckabee and McCain could never, EVER unite those three--ALL of which will be required to be 'onboard' to beat Slick Hillie. Although Fred is 'my first choice' by far--Mitt comes closer than ANY of those other three--if it ever comes down to those four. I certainly hope it does not.
Still, he always goes for the richest candidate.
Freepers are working so hard to push their candidates that they didn't even think about the fact that Mitt was the one who the democrats and the MSM feared from the get go. They are in fact doing the democrats work.
I’m not surprised. NR has always embraced social conservatives in a lukewarm way so they should really have no problem taking Romney at his word that he’s had some Damascus conversion in social issues. I, on the other hand, don’t really want to trust a johnny-come-lately to social conservatism until there’s no better choice left.
Not that I’m sold on any of the front-runners at this stage. I’m going to let the nomination process evolve more before reaching the point where I’m in anyone’s camp.
Mitt was governor of Massachuttes. He is therefore bad
