Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, had 59% of the vote with 3% of the towns holding caucuses reporting. Ron Paul trailed with 19%, John McCain had 18%, and Mike Huckabee and undecided votes each had about 2%.

Information gets posted when people want to do the Romney spin.

What I post is not eye-straining, unless you have difficulty reading on a forum that requires.......reading. Everything is always formatted, blockquoted, in paragraphs, and of relevance to false claims and/or misrepresentations which abound on countless threads.

I have no doubt that it is effective, which is why you object to the information being posted.

Great!

“If its found when all is said an done that the Democrat got elected and promptly runs home because “conservatives” sat it out. I for one will never forgive you and I know for a fact 10’s of thousands of US soldiers will not either.

I have never not voted - ever. I have caucused in every primary in my state and voted in every general election. I know that it is a priviledge to vote given to me by the blood and sweat of brave young men and women, some of whom were my blood. I do NOT need to have you tell me how to vote. I am perfectly capable of coming to my own conclusions. Why don’t you start a McCain thread and try to sway people on your thread to vote for him. Why come on a thread where people are trying to enjoy a Romney victory?

Lion, can you add me to your Mitt ping list? Thank you.

Stop playing the class warfare card! Mitt Romney is a fine man who earned his money. He has actually received more donations than any of the other candidates. Look at what he’s up against! The media and liberals in bed with each other to stop Mitt Romney. Why are you with those guys?

I have seen three Romney ads on in Los Angeles tonight, on the network owned stations.

Fiscal conservative here, no choice but to vote Republican, nice to meet you.

[mware]

Vice, you are correct, we can not sit out this election.

Too many have died in this war on terror for us to cut and run from the ballot box.

“There’s something about him . . “

Oh, yeah, there’s something about him alright...slick, sliminess, deceptive, flip-flopper, liar, recent convert to conservatism (so he says). To be continued....

[TheLion]

You are already on the list. Didn’t you get a ping to this thread?

[Saundra Duffy]

“Why come on a thread where people are trying to enjoy a Romney victory?”

Because they can, I guess. Thanks for your support for Mitt Romney, a good man with a great family.

[icwhatudo]

Hi nic, just curious who you are supporting. Many of us have moved from Hunter to Fred and then settled on Romney. Just curious who you are supporting-thx.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Fiscal and Social Conservative here. I vote Republican as long as they put up Conservatives, when they don’t, there’s no reason to vote for them. Liberal RINOs are worse than Democrats.

[Tuxedo]

So the question I have for you is IF Romney was the main proponent of the homosexual marriages in Massachusetts, why are the other candidates not bring it up??? Huckabee at least should be trumpetting this all weekend since he is evidently the bastion for Social Conservatives. At the same time, seems odd that Keating isn’t mentioned. This is a huge blow to Romney’s conservative credentials if true. I don’t know as I haven’t looked into it. Massachusetts has odd politics as it is not really a state but a Commonwealth.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Romney doesn’t answer to anyone. He’s a megalomaniac. In that regard, he’s no different than McCain.

What in the world are you basing that on? McCain has been on an eight-year jihad against conservatism, the constitution and US sovereignty. Nothing Romney has done can even comes close to the damage McCain initiated and co-authored with his bi-partisan assault on the First Amendment with the Senate's biggest leftist, Russ Feingold. And that's saying nothing of the votes against tax-cuts, amnesty for illegals, teaming with Joe Lieberman to attack gun rights, his charter membership in the Church of Global Warming, his promise to shut down Gitmo and transfer the combatants to Leavenworth, his repeated votes against drilling in ANWAR, the Gang of 14, water-boarding, his campaigning for pro-abortion Democrats in California, campaigning with Americans for Gun Safety (an anti-2A group) in Colorado, etc., etc., etc.

How blind does one have to be to not see that damage McQueeg has gleefully, repeatedly inflicted on the conservative movement?

And somehow, you claim to not support McCain, yet you can barely bring yourself to say a critical word about him. You're all Romney, all the time. That's just bizarre.

Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, had 53 percent of the vote with 47 percent of the towns holding caucuses reporting. John McCain trailed with 21 percent, Ron Paul was third with 19 percent, and Mike Huckabee had 5 percent. Undecided votes accounted for 2 percent.

What are you gonna do on Wednesday, Sandy ?

[skeeter]

I will not vote for any candidate who has virtually promised to put 12-20 million (multiplied by 2 or 3) illegal aliens on a path to citizenship, as John McCain has.

I won't do it, under any circumstances.

[greyfoxx39]

Mark Steyn is the one who said every time McCain offered him one, with some contemptuous snarl in his direction, Mitt would put on his more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger expression and say prissily that he wasn't going to descend to personal attacks. It's never good to play to your caricature, and Mitt's caricature (as Kathryn well knows) is that he's an insipid technocrat Ken doll propped up by a lavishly funded campaign.

We report, you decide, LOL! Take it up with Mark
