Fredheads, It's Time to Support Mitt

Dear fellow Fredheads,

It's time to support Mitt Romney. Can Mitt win in a general election? I don't know. Certainly he has always had a better chance than Fred. And if the opposition is Hillary Clinton, then maybe.

McCain can beat Hillary. But McCain is, well, McCain.

To be honest, I'm not as down on McCain as most of my fellow Jawas and you, the readers. But that's just because I've been a one-issue guy since right around, oh, let me see, I think the date was 9/11/2001.

But still, McCain doesn't get that the border is tied in with our national security.

Mitt does. And he seems to get the war on political Islam.

Sure, Rudy also seems to get both, but it's probably too little too late for him.

I'm hearing some oddball theory that a lot of Fredheads are natural Huckabee supporters. That's insane. Like, certifiably insane.

It's built on the presumption that the evangelical supporters of Thompson are in the same boat as the evangelical supporters of Huckabee. I got news for Tom Edsell: they aint the same animal. Sure, they may have the same funny accent, and so I'm guessing that to an outsider like Edsell the presumption is that they must be the same species. But they're not.

Sorry, can’t do it.

[what's up]

I'm for DE-regulating the health insurance industry, not for adding more mandates from the Federal gov't.

If States like MA want to mandate purchasing health insurance fine, although I personally am not in favor of it.

But we don't need MORE mandates from Big Brother in DC led by Mitt Romney.

The Mitt Romney Deception

[OldGuard1]

Yeah OK I’ll vote for Mitt cause I don’t think he is crazy.

Yeah -- after all, he only believes in a religion that says the indians are Israelites, Jesus and Satan are brothers, aliens live on the sun, God has a wife, the Egyptian Book of the Dead is actually a secret book of the bible, and you, too, can become a god. Nothing crazy about that.

At best, he's a non-practicing kook.

[TommyDale]

I’m in!

[wafflehouse]

Go Ron Paul!

[Recovering_Democrat]

I’m voting for Mitt, too. Even gave him some $$ when I realized over the weekend Fred wasn’t going to continue.

[bcsco]

Let's just say Romney may get my vote come February 5th. But I will not campaign for nor support him. Fred was my candidate. No one else in the race has his credentials. No one! And no one other than Romney has a chance in hell of getting my vote. In fact, should I hear something I don't like from Romney I just may write in Fred's name anyway.

[Free Vulcan]

Yeah...OK...whatever.

Look, I’ll support Mitt to get McCain and Huck out. That’s all you’re going to get.

[Friendofgeorge]

Sure, Rudy also seems to get both, but it’s probably too little too late for him................................

RUDY IS NOT FIT FOR OFFICE, PERIOD!!!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Ya gotta hand it to the rinos.They got balls but mittens is gonna lose to the beast.8 years of a rino is enough.I’m gonna leave it with ya.

[RetiredArmy]

Don’t hold your breath waiting for my vote for Miff. Hell hasn’t froze over yet.

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

“yeah because ending all trade with the rest of the world and surrendering in Iraq is exactly what we need. /SARC”

He doesn’t want to end trade with the world. He wants to increase it! Where do you get that idea?

As for Iraq - what good is “winning” if we lose to Mexico, here?

[Stars&StripesNE]

I will definitely throw my support to Romney. He was a decent governor here in MA. And for all the screamers about his stances changing on abortion, they should stop and think -- he is a Mormon. There is no way he is pro-choice. Unfortunately he said what he did to get elected to the People's Republic of Massachusetts.

McCain is for higher taxes and illegals. Romney was against both while Governor.

I also believe that Romney can defeat Hillary.

Stalin may have been more Communist than Lennin, but they were still both Commies.

[Poser]

Sorry. I already sent my donation to Fred.

[CJ Wolf]

I may take another look at Ron...

Can't hurt to look.

Your post history shows just how adamantly you opposed the only conservative candidate among the top tier. Please don’t play the "Fred is gone. Let’s kiss and make up” game now. It’s just too disingenuous.

Fred is out of the race due in part to people like you who refused to support the one who would have supported conservatism for us. Your choice may win the nomination, but he is still a man with a CINO political career.

But you can relax. Many here will go to Mitt because, once again, real conservatives have been pushed aside and they will have to choose among what's left or sit it out. However, you two and many others from the FR Kill Thompson for Romney campaign are probably pushing it with a of people today.

Reading these post must make the folka over at moveon.org feel real good. You all sound like a bunch of children who are not getting their way. I am disappointed about Fred too, but no matter who the republican nominee is they will get my full support. Its either that or Hillary, and I can not imagine any true republican wantign that. So grow up folks.
