As I have stated earlier on this and other threads: my support is now with Ron Paul. He’s the most conservative one left standing after my first two choices left the race, that being 1) Tom Tancredo and 2) Duncan Hunter.

At least Ron Paul has a history of supporting limited government, is against the NAU, is against abortion, is in favor of denying citizenship to illegals’ offspring, and is a strict Constitutionist. The same cannot be said of McRino or Romney.

What in the world are you basing that on? McCain has been on an eight-year jihad against conservatism, the constitution and US sovereignty.

You can say this over an over but apparently it doesn't matter because Romney is the evil uncle in the attic.

None of the above? Tempting-lol. For many of us we went from Hunter to Fred to settling on Romney. Hopefully when all this is over we can all get back to digging up dirt on dems. -freegards

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.

Just how well do you know RINO Romney ???

He should be ashamed of taken poor people’s money ...typical liberal..

What’s he up against ???

The media and the liberals are not against him...

They want him to win...

Hillary or Obama would have no trouble beating him...

New FR poll is out:

(2/2) Which GOP presidential hopeful do you want to see win the most delegates on Super Tuesday?

Mitt Romney
67.5%

Mike Huckabee
15.5%

Ron Paul
11.8%

John McCain
5.2%

[ Details · Polls ]

Again, that's:

Mitt RINO Romney: 67.5%
John "Conservative Uniter" McCain: 5.2%

Better put on some coffee, McCain bots. You've got a lot of work to do.

Congratulations on your last sentence! Good idea.

However, we're stuck with the five or six master baiters who hate Romney, but are enjoying getting a rise out of us Mitt supporters as they descend upon thread after thread like a bee swarm to spam them with their garbage.

They can't start a "support McCain" thread because it will never get off the ground. Even "bumps" wouldn't save it. The posters wouldn't even be enough to fill a rubber room.

Well, let them enjoy themselves and just put them on "ignore" and let them flail on.

It’s not an “IF.”

I have to laugh heartily at “Romney’s Conservative credentials” since he never had any to begin with.

Hopefully, we will see Huckabee votes fading out in the primary states as people finally realize they are just helping McCain out. Romneys chances are looking better and better.

Thanks for the information. You've given more information about the Maine Primary than ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN, MSNBC, and mostly dominated by RINOs FOXNEWS. Here's the current delegate count:

McCain-97
Romney-74
Huckabee-29
Paul-6

Assuming Romney gets the 21 from Maine, he will be at 95. Had Romney and McCain been reversed, Maine would be getting coverage by every network and every other pundit would be calling it a "surge" by McCain.

While ignoring every conceivable aspect of McCain’s record.

Your “reality” is not shared by many here.

It appears what they want is an echo chamber, and they don't want it limited to just FR....they want it applied to the airwaves, as well.

Great tag line!

Have you heard any mention of Maine on the MSM?

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.

And I just know you dont plan to vote for RINO Romney who backed the AMNESTY Bill and a pathway to citizenship and we cant send them all home

Yeah, though with Ann Coulter, et al, deciding that they'll support the rodent ticket if Juan gets the nomination, we might continue to see the finger-pointing and circular-shooting for the rest of the year. We already forgot the lesson we were taught in 2006 as it is.
