No..

>>>>>I'm willing to take an 80% conservative Republican ...

Since you're willing to support candidates who are pro-abortion, obviously, you're on the wrong political forum.

I wish Mutt would just pack up his magic underwear and move over to the RAT party where he belongs!

Thanks for exposing your real motives.

BadI says:

This is how we ended up with McCain.

A lot of us think it would have been as bad if not worse had we ended up with Romney. I'll tell you this -- Romney would not have gotten my vote in a pres election regardless of his running mate; at least McCain got my vote because of Palin.

You labor under a severe illusion if you don't realize that a hell of a lot of conservatives think Romney is as bad, or worse, than McCain.

[Beagle8U]

Real motives? Yes, getting that liberal to move over to the RAT party where he belongs!

“You labor under a severe illusion if you don’t realize that a hell of a lot of conservatives think Romney is as bad, or worse, than McCain.”

That`s your illusion because all the exit polls showed otherwise. Go do some research and you`ll realize that conservatives flocked to romney but were outnumbered by moderates and liberals.

Like he really could do that. You have to be a Conservative to pull off acting Conservative for more than a few days...

[big'ol_freeper]

He’s pro abortion....nuf ced.

[ejonesie22]

Mccain at least has the common decency to stab us in the front..

[Tennessee Nana]

I thought he was going to spend the next four years convincing folks that he is a conservative.

Nice try. You can't go on about magic underwear without exposing yourself... no pun intended.

The Mittwits always take a single issue with Mutt and try to say “just forget that issue”.

What they REFUSE to admit is the Mutt has too freaking many of those issues!

Abortion, queer agenda, anti-gun, socialist healthcare...

Mutt is a far left liberal!

[Wolfstar]

I am afraid after Mr.Arnold Shriver, it will be years before the republicans can have the governorship..no matter who runs.

It's already been 10 years, since our current governor is not genuinely a Republican. I absolutely hate the extremely over-used acronym RINO. With so-called real conservatives constantly searching the political beach for a "RINO" under every grain of sand, it's lost all practical, useful meaning. Yet the term was coined precisely to describe people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is a Republican only in the sense that, for some unfathomable reason, he registered to vote as one.

In any case, your point is well taken.

... exit polls showed ... that conservatives flocked to romney but were outnumbered by moderates and liberals.

Romney IS a moderate liberal. Your exit poll data makes zero sense.

[ejonesie22]

Funny, that is not what happened here, seems Mitt never got much about 15% support. Now indeed when it was down to McCain and mitt around here the numbers ticked up a good bit, but it would hardly be a “flocking’ more liker a big resignation

And I can assure you that the number of Conservatives on FreeRepublic far out paces the mods and libs, DU trolls and paid (and unpaid) Romneybots not with standing..

[ejonesie22]

Well suspension of disbelief is the first requirement for supporting Mitt...

[Reagan Man]

>>>>>conservatives flocked to romney

Pseudo cons, yes.

Around FR Romney received very little support from FReepers. Mostly, Willard garnered the Rockefeller Republicans who had no place to go once Giuliani departed the race.
