Carl Cameron says it'll become offical sometime later this week.

Oh well, we're doomed. Let's hope it'll be minimal damage until 2012.

Fighting how?

With Masscare? Gay marriage advocacy?

Seriously, will somebody please make the conservative case for Romney?

Is there no one that can?

I make it a firm practice to avoid watching Mrs. Bill Clinton. It’s easier on my blood pressure and I don’t have to pick up the pieces of my exploding head.

Vicious and mean, ruthless in all things that serve her, and ready to run this great country straight into the ground.

Looks like she may just get that chance, I honestly don’t think any of the RINO’s can beat her. Giuliani probably has the best shot at that. But who wants to vote for him??

Snow White

The seven dwarfs always left to go work in the mine early each morning. As always, Snow White stayed home doing her domestic chores.

As lunchtime approached, she would prepare their lunch and carry it to the mine. One day as she arrived at the mine with the lunch, she saw that there had been a terrible cave-in.

Tearfully, and fearing the worst, Snow White began calling out, hoping against hope that the dwarfs had somehow survived.

‘Hello, hello!’ she shouted. ‘Can anyone hear me? Hello!’

For a long while, there was no answer. Losing hope, Snow White again shouted, ‘Hello! Is anyone down there?’

Just as she was about to give up all hope, there came a faint voice from deep within the mine… ‘Vote for Hillary, Vote for Hillary.’

Snow White fell to her knees, crossed herself and prayed, ‘Oh, thank you, God! At least Dopey is still alive.’

I will never vote for McCain and I don’t understand how any conservative would vote for the lunatic.

ditto's. While I appreciate his service to our country, McCain is not fit to lead as President.

n 1986, Dan Harrison was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University.

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Dan approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant’s foot

and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Dan worked the wood

out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and

with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Dan stood frozen, thinking of nothing else

but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Dan never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Dan was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they

approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Dan and his son Dan Jr.

were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Dan, lifted its front foot off the ground, and then put it down. The elephant

did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Dan

couldn’t help wondering if this was the same elephant. Dan summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and

made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted

again, wrapped its trunk around one of Dan’s legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn’t the same elephant.

Moral of the story: Just because it’s an elephant doesn’t mean it isn’t a blood-sucking, life-rejecting Rino!

Nice personal attack on a war vet. You ever serve?

Only a fool would stand by and do nothing while Hillary takes power.

Here’s some friendly advice from a non-Romney supporter. 86 anything about health care from that piece and it will be a lot more convincing to freepers. Mitt is a disaster in that area.

Just for contrast, Huckabee also made some kind of statement, which he followed with a joke about how he wants everyone else to drop out too.
His doesn’t-know-when-to-quit joke telling IMHO shows a real lack of maturity and knowledge of the boundaries of polite discourse. Coupled with his bending, fudging, or outright breaking of the rules regarding certain financial issues while he was governor, casts a discernible shadow on his character.

"Romney is clearly the optimal choice at this point."

Sorry Owen. I see nothing 'optimal' in Romney. Dismal yes, optimal no.

He’ll endorse McCain just like he did in 2000.

Yep. The First Black Presidentess is definitely a fairy tale.

Just ask Bill. He knows all about them.

As Rush always says—politics is show biz for the ugly. So we gals do like to see a candidate who makes us swoon. :)

If McCain gets the nomination, it will be Bob Dole all over again.

How amnesiac are we as a Grand OLD Party?

Which is also why Hillary does not deserve the Presidency. At least John Adams and John Quincy Adams were different generations. What kind of sick egos does this debauched pair of windbags have that they think they each deserve a turn in the Oval Office?

They're so last century.

I just read on another thread that Limbaugh has said he won’t support one of the final 3 Stooges. He says they’re not conservatives.

I agree.

One poster pointed out Kristol’s dream of a Cheney presidency coming out of a brokered convention. From his lips to God’s ears.

If we want to WIN, we have to work WITHIN the Party Processes, and COMPROMISE with those we call RINO’s to advance any kind of a conservative agenda.

(man50d) The is the same defeatist baloney the GOP has been employing for years. It has only brought incremental socialism to the party. The result is the party aligning itself with the Socialist Rats and producing candidates such as those remaining. Recent history has proven a little bit of Socialism only begets more Socialism.

(ecomcon)Yep. See Schwartzenegger and California.
