"Never give up, never surrender!"
Duncan Hunter: His [Mitt Romney] company Bain Capital, is partnering with a Chinese company, a Chinese defense contractor, called the Wah-Way corporation, which helped Saddam Hussein set up his air defenses against American pilots, and Bane Capital is partnering with that outlawed Chinese defense contractor to buy an American defense contractor. You may know about that proposed deal, it’s right now before the commitee on foreign investment... Duncan Hunter: I think its a security problem, and I think it is a real disservice to... Americans. I think Mitt Romney is a NO GO for that reason alone.....I like Mike Huckabee’s integrity, I stood next to him in a lot of debates...

! Romney is a no go. The pretense that he is anything but a poll watching Rockefeller rich guys Republican is desperation by conservatives that want to see something in him that doesn’t exist. It’s basically saying “We will believe that when Romney panders, he means it, and will stick with it.” Why on earth would we believe that when he has switched positions for convenience at every opportunity and always looks to have it both ways on tough issues?
Number eight, possibility of Duncan Hunter VP or Sec of Defense. Duncan Hunter’s endorsement of Huckabee is significant given that Hunter saw Mike up close on the campaign trail.
Number nine, Huckabee excels in debates. Conservatives as a whole have a terrific sense of humor [FreeRepublic is a great example] and are articulate and inspiring on issues—Huckabee reflects that.
I'm not sure that would be much of a victory when the result is a nominee who no conservative would have found at all acceptable before the process began and only become marginally acceptable by default.
If Romney gets the nomination and is creamed in the general election (which is very possible), the pundits are going to say, "see, a conservative can't win" despite the fact that Romney is no conservative. If Romney does get elected, we get stuck with the most liberal Republican our party has ever nominated. By accepting Romney as a conservative, we are allowing the Rockefeller Wing of the Republican Party to infiltrate the conservative movement.
Well, not only that, but he’d be pasted in the general...
Interesting. You’re awfully appealing even when you’re out of your mind. (!) Well, it shows we’re all a bit fey at this point. I’ll forward to my dear husband Don-o, and we’ll debate it over the kitchen table.
That would definitely scare evangelicals.
That is a fundamental misunderstanding of the process. That's taking the victim mentality that somehow the "elite" are forcing a nominee on us.
It's simply not true.
Anyone can file to run for the office. Some really despicable people did. None of them were appointed by the "elite."
The "elite" do not comprise the majority of primary voters, and unless you think the vote tallies are all fraudulent, it's the grassroots who select our nominee from all those who voluntarily chose to run for the office.
Nobody but citizens like you and me kicked Thompson or Hunter to the curb. They're the same ones who kicked Giuliani to the curb.
I know you deemed Rudy as the candidate selected by the "elite" last summer. Didn't work out, if that's the case.
We, the voters, select our candidate and I utterly reject the notion that someone is being appointed by some sinister Republican cabal.
The voters make the decision and they're perfectly capable of making a bad one. Quit blaming it on some conspiracy theory.
No can do.

You may be mistaking me for Jim Robinson? I am not him :)
I think we need to hear from Fred before employing that strategy for reason #7. It’s very risky.
We are the church of Laodicea. I fear for this country if God gives us the leadership we deserve.
You also are of the opinion that our candidates are selected for us, and we the voters have no say in the matter. I don't know how you can explain how McCain, Romney, and Huckabee have all won various state contests if that's the case. Did you know that the RNC contributes nothing to any candidate until he is the nominee?
You may not like your choices of candidates, but they're not selected for you, and the GOP is certainly not shoving them down your throat.
Pull my other leg. The one with bells on it...
I heartily disagree. It is Huckabee who is splitting the conservatives and giving McCain the nomination. Huckabee doesn’t have a snowball’s chance of winning anything except the VP slot with McCain...and that is what he is after.
What a pathetic liberal RINO jerk moron is Jim Robinson.
