Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan endorsed Mitt Romney today. As one of Michigan's highest profile business successes this would be news in itself, but it is far more important than just another keen observer of the economy recognizing Romney's qualifications to serve as president.
Monaghan is a Catholic's Catholic, the founder of Ave Maria University and Law School, and one of the forces behind Legatus, an organization of senior Catholic business leaders. He is an ardent pro-lifer, and a man deeply concerned with rescuing the culture.
Monaghan's decision to announce today is a clear signal to social conservatives that it is time to chose and get in the game, first in Michigan and then South Carolina, Nevada and Florida in an effort to save the GOP from capture by the anti-conservative John McCain and the neopopulist Mike Huckabee.
Many leaders of the value voters have stayed on the sidelines, buffeted by conflicting pressures and a sometimes noisy anti-Mormon fringe. They may stay there, but if they do and the presidency is lost and with it the Surpreme Court, their inactivity in January 2008 will be a heavy burden to bear. Monaghan apparently knows this and is leading the way that social conservatives should follow.
There is no way Romney should retire from this race before Super Tuesday no matter how many Beltway-Manhattan pundits want him out. The conservatives are not going to surrender their party, and they want a chance to say so at the ballot box. As the upheaval on the Democratic side showed yesterday, there are many surprises in store for pollsters and pundits in the new media age of politics. By February 5, a thoroughly disgusted core of Republican activists from the center-right will be mobilized across the country to keep their party on the path established

Nice to see Mitt endorsed by someone with a lot of dough.
Fred and Jeri were on Fox this morning! They were great! When Fred was asked about Huckabee being ahead of him in the polls in SC, Fred said “Well, I think those polls are kinda like the polls in New Hampshire showing an Obama win over Hillary.” He was great as usual! Just donated another $50 to the red truck and looking forward to tonight’s debate on FOX at 9:00PM Eastern! The REAL CONSERVATIVE will shine through again! GO FRED!
Does anyone know where the NRA endorsement is??? If I were a NRA member I would be asking them why they have not endorsed Fred Thompson yet! GO FRED!
AHA! There’s the catch.
Thanks, EV, for trying to keep these Romneyites honest.
Somehow that makes Monaghan EVIL (and a betrayer of the conservative movement), I’m sure. : )
“Tom is a known supporter of Planned Parenthood and abortion.”
That’s a bald faced lie.
I saw my first Romney sign today in West Michigan, in front of a printing business. But still see more Fred car stickers than anything else.
So predictable. LOL.
Would that be pizza dough, cash, or both? LOL. Hey, the more the better! :-)
Please check my corrected post.
Pretty good. I expect there will be some more toppings though.
Good day, rintense. :-)
Oh.
Not Marjorie Monaghan?

Yes the pizza is gross - like a loaf of bread with a thin coating of sauce on top.
For a chain, I like Pizza Hut with the stuffed crust.
lol
Gives new meaning to “Romney Rising”.
I won’t vote for Mitt, that simple. I want my slick willie to have a D attached to his name.
second or dead last, all the same to me, I vote issues, not the man....
[Tom is a known supporter of Planned Parenthood and abortion. I haven’t been to Domino’s since learning about this.]

Do you have any links concerning this?
Read some of the replies already to comment 16 on this thread.
This is the third time I’ve seen this same “Fred and Jeri were on Fox” comment cut and pasted on threads today... can you at least change them around a little more to make them sound a little different? Thanks
I had the wrong guy.
She already corrected it.
