Once upon a time, people who wanted to be president were not expected to admit it in public. This mask of false indifference had to be dropped when the rise of primaries forced candidates to campaign actively for the office.

Funny, but most objections to Mitt I have seen have little to do with his faith...
Romney "Disses" Amateur Radio In Televised Town Meeting (and why he won't get my vote)
These are supported exit polls. What is an unsupported exit poll?
Did you notice that when you vote, no one asks how conservative you are? That only happens in an exit poll.
You can glean more of the same from those States in which Democrats could cross over. It was McCain, not Romney, who was the beneficiary of these Democrat votes.
You could also look at actual votes and find that the more conservative the county or precinct, the better would Romney do.
But, you know that. If it were otherwise you could try to look it up to prove me wrong, but you won't because it would demonstrate that actual conservative voters chose Romney.

Thompson 66.8% 1,658
Romney 12.7% 315
Your made-up pseudo-poll where you attacked everyone against Romney
and brought in your hoards of obedient followers is worthless (except to you).
Have a great day on your island.
You think “Conservative”Man55 will explain how the “Michigan Exit Poll” categories for Romney add up to 151%?
I'd LOVE to claim brilliance, but all it takes is some natural intelligence to read the writing on the wall, and not be blinded by hero worship and a lot of wishful thinking that "good hair" covers the head of an "honest" politico.
Bill Clinton STILL has a good head of hair!
Sure he has support now, his only competition is no one. We will support Mitt publicly to some extent, but have no delusions, very few here believe Mitt is anything other than a few blurbs on a website. If he was more than that, he would have dominated all polls here from the get go. It also means that if a real viable conservative rises, he will be pushed aside like last nights dinner.
When we say our prayers at night, we pray he will hold up if he rises to the position himself, but a few responses in an informal poll at best reflects best hopes and wishes and a sigh of resignation, with a few Mitt Romney true believers thrown in..
When the facts go against you, yell bigot..
Now where have I heard that before?
Nice try though.
Are you serious?
Romney lost the campaign, but spent -what- $50 million dollars.
Big deal. Remember to FReepers, it was in Nevada that Romney
cheated. Candidate Mitt Romney has sent out a campaign flier to Republicans in Nevada, claiming his strength on border enforcement.
For the photo op, I'm sure he briefly stepped out of his air conditioned motor home
to have his picture taken in front of the border fence built by Duncan Hunter.
Myth Romney taking credit for Duncan Hunter's fence, in Romney's flier (without attribution).
Does the GOP really want a cheater on the ticket?
Does the GOP really want someone on the ticket who was CAUGHT using fake 'police' in (at least) two states?
I think not.
Romney aide’s bogus badges: Sources detail ‘illegal’ security tactic
" Boston Herald - Friday, July 20, 2007
In an apparent violation of the law, a controverisal aide to ex-Gov. Mitt Romney
created phony law enforcement badges that he and other staffers used on the campaign trail
to strong-arm reporters, avoid paying tolls and trick security guards
into giving them immediate access to campaign venues, sources told the Herald.
“They (the aides) knew the badges were fake and probably illegal,”
said a presidential campaign source who asked for anonymity
because the story could damage the individual’s career.
Two additional sources confirmed that the badges - described as bright silver plates with a state seal attached -
were first created and used by Garrity while Romney was still governor."
You have to read the numbers from left to right.
Neato. Slick Willard got 77% of the RINO vote... or is it 68% ?
That may explain why the MSM is pushing Romney (the loser).
Thanks.
Suggestions?
And please don't say Fred Thompson.
I backed Fred for the short while that he was in the race but according to your instructions, I won't say Fred Thompson.
I truly believe you could pick a name at random from the phone book and that person would have about an 80% probability that he/she would be more conservative than Romney. I like Gov. Sonny Perdue but I'm sure that fault could be found with him if one looked hard enough. As a matter of fact, I'm certain that someone will reply to this reply, listing all his negatives. Let them, it still won't come near Romney's.
I watch that video of Romney on abortion (2002) and am completely repulsed by the man. I'm inclined to agree with JimRob, he's not a man at all. Yes, he changed, when it became politically neccessary to make a presidential run. By his own admission he had been pro abortion his entire life, learning it from his mother.
His socialist health care plan in Mass is a disaster and floundering more every day. He's more liberal than John McCain and that is quite an accomplishment.
You are a liar. Prove that preachers have told them not to vote for Romeny because he is a Mormon.
Put up or shut up.
I have to admit it’s fun to hear the little liberal Slick Willard trolls squeal like stuck piggies. ;-D
