The Romney ride is over. Time for all true conservatives to unite behind Fred Thompson and stop the Pat Buchanan/Pat Robertson coalition from nominating Mike Huckabee!
Well written and documented. I saw the Russert-Romney exchange and thought Timmie boy practically ripped him a new one.
And if any FReeper can explain to me why his mandatory user-purchased health insurance program is a single d*m bit different from a government sponsored “tax you to pay for your insurance” program, I’m all ears.
Hillary-lite.
And speaking of Huckabee, I just listened to Hannity interview him and was pretty much OK with what Huckabee said until he got to the immigration questions, when he turned into a raving weasel. Twice Hannity asked him about giving college tuition breaks and scholarships to the children of illegal aliens, and twice he twisted the question and answered something like, “The federal government requires the states to educate these children.” Not an answer. The federal government does require K-12 education for all children, but it DOES NOT require tuition breaks and scholarships for them, which was what he was asked to explain. Creepy, very deceptive and dishonest, in my opinion. Nixonesque, even. So now I really have my doubts about the other stuff he said. Also, why didn’t Hannity ask him if he would support the next amnesty bill that Congress will inevitably send to the White House, or if he would veto such legislation. Another duplicitous, slick, lying bastard, if you ask me.
He lies about big things and small. Trust him?
Please.
That's what you'll get if Mitt isn't the nominee.
Hillary and Roodeeeee haven't even really started to fight yet. Nobody else but Mitt has the money and the skeleton-free life to survive what's coming in 2008. Giuliani's skeletons are pretty much public knowledge already, so he won't be hurt much.
Politics is a dirty, brutal business. If Fred were ten or twenty years younger, he'd take it easily, and I'd probably vote for him. But we have to deal with facts. The fact is, Fred doesn't have the money or the stamina for this any more.
It just isn't gonna happen.
RIP he is toast.
Get over yourself. Do you really think anyone falls for that line anymore?
Your analysis is sophomoric and paper thin.
You’ve got it all backwards.
Romney has the highest negatives and lowest positives of anyone in the GOP field, followed by Giuliani.
Republicans will do fine in November as long as the nominee is either Thompson or McCain, the two candidates with the highest positives and lowest negatives.
Fantasyland. Mitt has 18 delegates and Huck has 20. Mitt is far from doomed. After Wyoming and NH (1st or 2nd place finishes), Mitt will have more delegates than anyone else. He’s the only guy who can stop Rudy, who is set to win most of the delegate rich states. Someone who is in 3rd, 4th or 5th place will not be able to stop him.
Your analysis is sophomoric and paper thin.
What ever your judgment of my post, you will watch it happen.
Then, you can watch the inauguration of President Hillary and feel great relief that Mitt Romney wasn't elected president.
I trust Romney more than I do Huck.
“To Trust Or Not To Trust Him, That Is The Question”
Not.
Fred Thompson ‘08!
Huckabee is even less trustworthy than Romney.
Everything Huckster says is soft-peddled spin.
Just like Bill Clinton, he’ll have you eating out of his hand as he lies about his record.
Please.

Let’s not even address Thompson for the moment.
Let’s address McCain. What this statement above says is that the energy outpouring of the entire hard core GOP base last year to stop McCain’s Amnesty Package (MAP) that Very Nearly Failed, was nothing more than an exercise in petulance — and that the base doesn’t really care about illegals.
That is what McCain means. He doesn’t mean anything more or less than that. You either care about amnesty and you veto him utterly and unequivocally, or you don’t care about amnesty and you sign onto him.
Just focus on McCain. Nothing else. Did the entirety of last year’s fervor and DESPERATE fight to stop amnesty matter at all?
I dunno, maybe we get Kucinich if Mitt is the nominee. How much analysis did you put into that?
Republicans will do fine with McCain who wants to give the illegals amnesty and social security benefits? Republicans will do fine with McCain who won’t promise to keep the Bush tax cuts permanent? Republicans will do fine with McCain who buys into the Global Warming hysteria? Republicans will do fine with McCain who wants to fund ESCR with our tax dollars? Republicans will do fine with McCain who stabbed us in the back on nearly every controversial issue in the last decade? Right.
Just like Bill Clinton, Huckster’s skill is fooling people like you into thinking he isn’t really so bad.
