WASHINGTON - From a Lexington office complex, Mitt Romney's political action committee has ensured the former presidential candidate's omnipresence on cable news shows, ....

But for the next year and a half, the center of Romney's political universe will shift west to Sacramento, where key parts of his operation have reassembled on behalf of Meg Whitman, a longtime friend and former business colleague ....

The former eBay CEO is still readying her headquarters, but it has already become something of a campaign-in-exile for Romney's ambitions, which could include another presidential run in 2012....

"Mitt's going to be involved in dozens and dozens of races, but one that he's particularly excited about is the race for governor of California," said Eric Fehrnstrom, a Romney spokesman....

A Whitman victory could deliver Romney a valuable foothold in a state that will likely be a big, early prize on the Republican nominating calendar. Her 2010 campaign will also offer a...

Romney and Whitman both harshly criticized the $787 billion stimulus package championed by President Obama and congressional Democrats, saying it includes too much bloated spending and not enough tax cuts. Whitman is also railing against the plan, signed into law yesterday, of tax increases and spending cuts to plug California's $42 billion budget deficit, saying in a statement it "will kill jobs, hurt families, and make future deficits worse."

No Romney supporter on this thread has yet endorsed Whitman or addressed whether or not this Romney endorsement goes to Mitt’s veracity towards conservatives and the American people in the last election.

‘Thats not my fault. Its not Romney’s fault.
Actually, it is. It is folks exactly like you and Romney and Whitman who have compromised away conservative governance at every pass. ‘

One more time, I don’t live in Liberal California. And I’m not delusional to the point of thinking my posts at Free Republic will change the Liberal Majority that is the California voting reality.

Do YOU live in California?

I don't live in CA, but I have political interests there. I'm the chairman of the third-largest party in America, whose CA affiliate is the third-largest party in CA.

Typical, when all else fails, you change the subject. LOL

Its very clear from your posts on this thread, you're no conservative. And you're a dishonest poster. I asked you to post facts, you post drivel. I give you several opportunities to redeem yourself and what do you do? Offer up juvenile BS!

Carry on.

Do you endorse Whitman?

Does this endorsement by Romney matter in light of his record in MA and his claims in the last election to a mantle of conservatism?

If my answer doesn’t conform with what You think, its not a ‘straight answer’.

You can’t even be honest about that aspect.

America's Independent Party

Our CA affiliate is the American Independent Party, which has about 370,000 registered voters in the State, last time I checked.

Like Romney, you’re a phony and a fraud.

You can’t answer your own questions. I did.

‘A third decision made by Kennedy was with regards to his preparation. Casey argues that “Kennedy was stunned to learn that liberal Democrats were against him because he was, in fact, Catholic.” He says that Kennedy “got letters from folks saying, ‘I’ve been a lifelong Democrat, I love you, I see you on TV, I agree with you 100% on public policy, but please, please, please, please do me a favor and don’t run for president in 1960 because you’re Catholic and I can’t vote for you.’ ‘

This is from the thread ‘Camelot Unplugged’. You and EV should read that one, and consider it in the context of your antics on this thread.

Some are afraid to look in the mirror, some aren’t.

Which are you?

(Its rhetorical, we have nothing further of value to discuss)

Uh huh. Hows that working out?

(chuckle)

I know, rant some more on the internet, inform anyone that doesn’t toe ‘your line’ they are...whtever name you want to toss my way for starters, and then whine about not getting enough support to win in California....(eyes rolling)

No wonder liberals are so deeply embedded in California.

Your the opposition....LOL!

Now you're off into liberal fantasyland.

Face it, you've been hammered on this thread and rightly so. You've been exposed as a phony and a fraud. LMAO

I haven`t seen Romney officially endorse her but I have seen him support many Conservatives who walk the walk as opposed to just giving speeches:

Now I`m sure that your logic won`t apply any more, right? If he supports a liberal he`s a liberal, but if he supports a conservative he`s probably just bribing them.

Unfortunately, liberals like Romney are now deeply embedded in the GOP. So deeply that I seriously doubt the patient can be saved, even by the best doctors.

Indeed I am, when you support pro-abort gun-grabbers; socialists who are destroying our free republic's foundations one chip at a time.

In fact he is. His money, and the money of his closest supporters, are corrupting just about every so-called conservative organization that functions as a satellite of the formerly grand old party.

You people are just like Romney. It just isn't possible for you to tell the truth.

This thread is about Romney's endorsement of his friend and fellow gun-grabbing pro-abort Meg Whitman.
