Take a class in statistics, and you won’t make such a fool of yourself again.

The results do prove collusion.

It’s a nightmare this year!

Perhaps we can persuade Rush Limbaugh to storm the convention and take the nomination!!!

“How is Romney polling in the southern primary states?

Those will be a direct vote and will likely match WV.”

In #116, you told us there’s a reason for Romney’s low vote in southern state’s. What is your reason?:

I live in a very red state, and the reason is Huckabee is still pulling a good chunk of the evangelical vote, and McCain gets some war hero vote.

Unfortunately, all too many voters don’t or can’t inform themselves on a range of issues, and Romney is actually closer to southern Red State voters than the other two on a range of issues.

Just not enough time for voters to look past the Massachusetts candidate to learn his positions compared to the two open borders guys.

These red states are not for open borders, or Huckabee’s Christian Socialism or McCain’s broad range of liberal positions over the years.

He's a RINO, and a BINO (Baptist in name only)

I believe you are right if this report from Fox News is accurate:

But before Huckabee’s surprising turnaround in the second round, McCain delegates told FOX News they had been instructed by the campaign to throw their support to Huckabee.

McCain delegate John Vuolo said former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer approached him and other McCain supporters at the convention and told them he had spoken to McCain, and that the best thing to do was to support Huckabee in the hope that Huckabee could beat Romney in this winner-take-all state.

You complete tard!

Collusion is an agreement, usually secretive, which occurs between two or more persons to deceive, mislead, or defraud others of legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically involving fraud or gaining an unfair advantage.

How in the frakkin hades can the free will of free delegates who freely chose to NOT support Mr Ken Doll Flip Flop Toss a Friend under the Bus at the first sign of trouble Romney, every be anything BUT the freewill of freemen?

How is their free vote at ALL "FORBIDDEN BY LAW" ??

How is it you want to claim "FRAUD"?

You wonder WHY 60% of us HATE Mitt Romney?

You wonder WHY so many would rather see Hillary than this LIAR?

Because of YOU!

That's right... YOU... we read and see this total whiney snot nosed pretentious CRAP and we do NOT want 4 years of that!

Collusion...? MY A$$$!!

Not sure which candidate you support, but McCain’s open borders, and 24 hour background investigations for the amnestied policies (McCain/Kennedy) beyond any doubt put us in the most danger of a 9/11 repeat.

McCain is far and away the weakest on national security, and would put the entire US population at greater danger of a terrorist attack.

A McCain / Huckabee ticket is absolutely abhorrent to me. I could not vote for them even to fight off Hillary. I'd have to be on morphine to do it, if then.

“I have never seen so many voting shenanigans in the Republican Party as in this election.”

Time for the birth of a viable third party.

The dirty pool that we’re seeing with mccain in the primaries is what we’ll get if he wiggles into the White House. Can anyone say amnesty, greenhouse taxes, liberal Constitution hating judges, Kyoto etc etc??

John McCain never lasted this far into the primaries before.

I supported Duncan Hunter and he quit.
So I supported Fred Thompson, and he quit.
Now I support (just barely) Mitt Romney.
Many years ago, I voted for Alan Keyes, and would support him, if I thought he had a chance to win.

Rest assured....McCain will not be elected in November.
President Obama will rule the roost.

Which has a silver lining. When the economy tanks in the next 4 years, a conservative republican will do well in 2012.
Thankfully McCain will be 75+ and will look older than his age as he does now.

2008 is turning out to be a blood bath for Conservatives running for Congress. I doubt many Conservatives will go to vote because they hate McCain; unfortunately, by staying home, they will lose all Conservatives in Congress. I hope Rush and others tell people to go to the voting booth whether they plan to vote for McCain or not.

I would have supported Hunter if he’d ever gained traction.

But from early on, I’ve been about equally for Romney and Thompson, and could enthusiastically support either, or the one that’s left: Romney.

My tag line says it about McCain.

That’s how I feel about it also. If we’re going to have failed liberal policies rammed down our throats at least let the democrats get the blame for it.

“In #116, you told us there’s a reason for Romney’s low vote in southern state’s. What is your reason?:”

My reason? The issues! Romney’s anti-gun, pro-gay agenda, and pro-abortion record.

I don’t trust him on his flip-flops and never will. Millions of voters will never trust that he has changed from his NE liberal puke past!

No sale.
