There was a better option. Now there is no option. BTW, debates are an ill-informed way to learn about a candidate. You need to pay attention to a candidate’s record. I’d think ole Willard was the Second Coming, too, if I only listened to the lies coming out of his mouth. I guess records don’t matter anymore. His rhetoric and promises have never matched his record.

The Northeast thing is a red herring. RINOs can come from anywhere. Romney would’ve run out of Utah if he had thought that was a better stepping stone to the WH. Problem is, he knew he was too liberal to win the Governorship there. Thank heavens he didn’t win there, he would’ve made Utah a Democrat state in short order.

Don’t get snippy. The only thing I ask of the purists is that they treat McCain and Romney (and Huckabee, for that matter) with equal disdain. There may be a conservative argument against Mitt Romney, but there is absolutely no possible conservative argument in favor of John McCain. If you’re consistently anti-RINO across the board, it’s a principled stand that can’t take issue with.

But that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about the spam-crazy bots who are overwhelming this site and distorting its voice.

Maine update:

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, had 53 percent of the vote with 12 percent of the towns holding caucuses reporting. Libertarian-leaning Texas Rep. Ron Paul trailed with 21 percent, Arizona Sen. John McCain had 18 percent, and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and undecided votes each had about 2 percent.

Ron Paul trailed with 21 percent

I'm glad to see that Ron Paul came out ahead of McRino.

Do you really want to do a back and forth ? “No he’s not” “Yes he is.” There’s nothing on earth that can disprove that Romney isn’t worse. Know why ? Arizona still has Conservatives and a Republican party. Show me the ones in MA after Slick Willard got done.

That's exactly what the bot is trying to do: drive away Romney supporters.

I've seen all the candidates records. They all have problems. At least Romney was deep in blue territory. And at least Romney is the only candidate of the four remaining who is running on a conservative platform.

At this point I'll take my chances with Mitt.

I hope he wins Maine.

Real Tennesseans don’t support sleazy, lying Massachusetts liberals.

They support sleazy, lying, First Amendment shredding, amnesty-granting, "gun-show loophole" closing, carbon-capping, envirocultist Arizona leftists?

Those real Tennesseans might want to think this through a little more.

Like I said, there’s no Conservative to vote for. At this point, I’m just here to stop Romney from taking us down in flames. I have no love for McCain. Nada.

Hillary or Obama

You’ve got to be kidding, remember, they were both afraid to debate on Fox. Romney is the only one whose shown capable of taking them and their tag team partners Matthews, Russert, Oberman, Blitzer, CNN, ABC, MSNBC.

McCain comes from conservative Arizona yet still acts like the second coming of McGovern. I wonder how he’d do in Utah?

Sorry, Arizona is a red state. There is NO excuse for what McCain has done to conservatism given that his constituents weren'y fire-breathing Mass. commies.

As I said, "no he (Mitt) isn't (worse than McCain)".
