Romney moves up as Potential McCain VP
NPR ^ | July 20 | Ron Elving

Posted on 07/20/2008 9:07:44 AM PDT by ConservativeMan55

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.

34% + 34% + 35% + 48% = 151%

Your Romney “numbers” get better and better.

And your posts become more and more idiotic. The columns don't add up to 100, the rows add up to 100 (minus a few percent refuse to state I think). The electorate wasn't evenly divided between the political ideology categories, so a candidate could earn, say, 24% of the liberal vote, but liberals might be only 9% of the GOP electorate.

Such mathematically challenged posts demonstrates why we should heed the judgment of GOP conservative voters, rather than Romney-loathing FR cranks.

You think the media won’t mention the exclusion by the LDS church of Black people until recently ? You’re dreaming. Anything to make our ticket look racist, and by adding this liberal RINO, they’re gonna have REAL legitimate ammo to throw at us.

34% “liberal” plus 48% “very conservative” = conservative.

That must be the same math that makes Romney/Hillary-Care “conservative.”

The truth is, we’ve been dealt with an AWFUL set of cards... Appetite for a true conservative has been missing at a national level... FDT was supposed to be s savior, but that Charlatan Huckster blocked him, and then gave us McCain... McCain, who I despise with every bone in my body because he despises us, is the only thing standing between us and H... We have 2 choices... Either vote for McCain and spend the next 2 or 3 years cultivating a conservative to challenge him in ‘12-— he may be bad but he’ll do the right thing on WOT and judges for the most part... The alternative is to allow H. To be president for 8 years... And believe me, it’ll be 8 years... The damage he will do will be immeasurable

McCain got the nomination, somehow. I’m saying he’s not about to blow his own brains out at this point by choosing a guy who was elected governor by the same people who routinely re-elect Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Barney Frank, Bill Delahunt, Ed Markey, etc., and haven’t elected a single Republican to Washington DC in 12 years.

Do you really think McCain will select a northeast liberal like Romney?

As soon as Romney falls down on his knees on national TV in front of God and everyone; and repents and begs for forgiveness for all the innocent young lives that were murdered in the womb on his watch after he ran on the pro-abortion platform, then I will consider it. If the man had any integrity at all, he’d resign and spend the rest of his life and the rest of his money trying to undo some of the wrong he’s done. But not as president. That office is reserved for honest men of the highest character and integrity.

Jim Robinson

Doesn't say vice president.

Based upon Romney's sending Massachusetts into federal dependency in so many ways,
he seems that HE (and his obedient followers) is mathematically challenged.

Perhaps that is why his businesses had to throw so many out of work (another peg the MSM is waiting to unleash).

"Do you really think McCain will select a northeast liberal like Romney?"

Only if he truly desires to lose. The way he's behaved on the campaign trail, it certainly looks like he does.

Sure they will but it’s a half truth, like your posts. Blacks have been members of the LDS Church since 1832. The priesthood is the issue here.

The day they start to equate the KKK to the religion that it’s members were adherents to, Southern Baptists, is the day that I will have faith again in the media. And I say that as a member of the media.

MOST Romney haters are one issue voters, anti-abortion.

Your words betray who you really are to any conservative with experience dealing with the word games of the lying Left.

So the Vice Presidency is reserved for dishonest men of low character and no integrity ?

Well, then Slick Willard is perfect for the job !

Do they not see that Obama is one of those "unworthy" black men who were kept in the back of the bus of the mormon world for 150 years?

I sort of know how they must feel, I'm a member of one of those "apostate churches" condemned to hell by their founder.

 

(f you are a church member, so are you)
