Still, John will get the nomination.

--Heads will explode on FR.

--But only for a little while.

--He will put a conservative on the GOP ticket as VP to shut up The Right, but give him little power.

--All will die down.

--Rationalizing steeped in stituational ethics will kick in.

--You will see 80% of Free Republic co-opted by the time October 2008 rolls around with solid support for McCain, whooping and hollering for him, because, well heavens knows, "we CANT put HILARY in the White House now can we?"

--He will probably be elected.

--And will proceed to put Hilary policies into action just the same.

Those of us against McCain will be called "100 per centers" and "nuts" and "spoilers".

But I will know who the real people are with bedrock principles and true to core Conservative Values.

Mitt Romney is NO conservative. He is the republican version of John Kerry. Flip Flop

Make no mistake, make no mistake, you are correct.

Thankfully, I think Mccain will implode before that happens...

Tick tick tick...

The better he does the shorter his fuse...

BOOM!

Oh, really?

These disappointed leftist voters in Mass complaining about Mitt in the NY Times last May might disagree with you:

NY Times thecaucusblog/Comments section [Mass. voters talking about Romney on May 11, 2007]:

“.. he stated that he supported gay rights, but then attempted to have a Constitutional ammendment added to the ballot to have gay marriage banned in the state. ..”

“I firmly believe that he’ll ‘change his mind’ and go agree with his base if he’s elected just like he did on the abortion right’s issue. ..”

“.I will never forget when he vetoed the stem cell legilation after the bills’ sponsors had worked so hard at generating bi-partisan support. And he vetoed the bill ...”

“...If you want to know what Mitt is really about, please try to find his speeches to the Federalist Society to see what he’s really made of. ..”

11/10/2005 Mitt Romney addresses the Federalist Society
http://www2.nationalreview.com/corner/romneyaddress.pdf

*

What is the Federalist Society?:

“...the Federalist Society, the expanding network of conservative lawyers who over the past quarter-century have played a leading role in reshaping the nation’s judiciary and setting high-level Republican administration policy. ..

[...]

“..One of the group’s founding fathers was Edwin Meese, who would soon become attorney general under President Ronald Reagan. Olson was part of that Justice Department, and so was Giuliani, who served as its third-highest official. The plan was to sow talented conservatives at every level of the federal judiciary and ultimately gain a foothold at the Supreme Court. “That was very much on our minds,” Olson said.

It appears to be working as planned. When he took office in 2001, Bush leaned heavily on Federalists to create a legal power structure to continue the work of seeding the judiciary. Roberts, along with fellow conservatives Alito, Scalia and Thomas, now form a formidable bloc on the Supreme Court.

[...]

Split among GOP camps

But as the Federalists have grown, they haven’t been immune to internal fissures. Federalists have key figures in both the Romney and Thompson campaigns who believe their candidate is a more worthy vessel for their legal philosophies. And they say they haven’t had to make the sort of compromise that Giuliani’s conservative supporters have.

David McIntosh, a former Indiana GOP congressman and gubernatorial candidate, is vice chairman of the Federalist Society, and he’s a domestic policy adviser to Thompson. Douglas Kmiec, another high-ranking official in the Reagan Justice Department, has gone with Romney, whom he calls “authentic.”

And Rep. Duncan Hunter’s endorsement of Huckabee is helping to bring the defense and border conservatives on board: "I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail," said Hunter... "Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity." ... HUCKABEE/HUNTER '08!!!

This guy is no conservative :

Hey, I'm right there with you. If he was the only guy in the race, I'm writing in Ernest_at_the_Beach for president.

McCain is in my "not if he were the last man on earth" category. Not many people make it to that list, but he has pride of place.

Doesn’t Mitt Romney have a thorough explanation of these things? (And not “the courts made me do it,” where that is not true.) We need to see it.

Sadly, he apparently doesn't need to explain these things because most of the conservative media is actively lying for Romney.

Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, NRO, Levin and Ingram are spewing propaganda to make this creep appear to be a conservative when he actually has the most liberal record of any Republican candidate. The "new" media is either being controlled by the Republican hierarchy or by Romney himself, whose company bought out Clear Channel.

I can only hope those lying for Romney pay a career price for doing so.

Remember back in 1992 when El Rusbho told us that character mattered? Apparently, he only meant for Democrats and not for Republicans or himself.

What is the story about this? It should be posted as an article.

Thanks for your insights. Very apt, it seems.

There are TWO convicted criminals paroled with Huckabee’s support who went out and murdered. You can easily find out who and when by googling. One of them was a convicted rapist who went to another state and taped and murdered a young woman.

Does it matter if Huckabee’s agenda became law or not? NO!
Does it matter what Huckabee’s agenda was? YES!
Because then we have an idea how he would behave as a president.

Sorry Kurt, Huckabee comes across as a pro-life bleeding heart liberal.

Please don’t descend yourself into semantics. You should be able to understand what I was talking about. Preachers will not abandon you so long as you repent. Exactly like Huckabee. It does not matter how violent your crime was, even rape.

hmm Nicolae Ceauşescu was also anti-abortion and against capitalism... well we all know what happened with that combination.

I didn't know that Ceauşescu was pro life. All those people he killed fooled me. Jos cu Ceauşescu, sus cu Iliescu!

I hope you aren't saying that those kids should have been aborted.

“Why did Romney VETO an Abortion Bill called ‘The Morning After Pill Bill’ ?”

By 2005 he was already prepping for his presidential bid.

I have to say that more negatives are written on FR against Republican candidates than against Rats.....

every single candidate is thrown to the wolves....

sometimes I wonder about the posters here....maybe some are Rat agitators trying to kill off any unity against the witch and the wardrobe.....

“Romney will win florida and the race is on.”

Governor Romney increasingly looks unelectable at any price.

“You cant battle abortion from the White House. The only thing the president can do is appoint judges ...”

That isn’t true. The president makes appointments to the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institutes of Health. More importantly, he can use his position to influence public opinion on the issue, as demonstrated so well by President Reagan.
