Right, change the topic back to the original topic after you went off-topic with your nonsense.

Did I say that Romney would get the nomination? What’s your next switcheroo tactic?

Actually
Abortion is a winning issue!
However, only between 15% to 20% of the public thinks that abortion is the MOST important issue.
Of those, prolifers have about a 4% to 5% edge.
No, the issue alone can not get anyone elected.
However, do not worry about our candidates being prolife.

They are more likely to WIN as prolifers.

Me?

I am VERY prolife. But if Obama gets us all nuked, the babies will glow with the bubbas and the Kenyan’s and the Communists and the Conservatives.

Lets focus on survival first.

That Alter Kocker L Ron Paul who is a RINO as an anti war, 9/11 Truther should not have been listed as a person to
vote for.
He and others like him have spent their career coning
conservatives they are one of them and dividing the votes and thus the Democrat slips in.

This is how we got Bill Clinton in ‘92
This is why GOP Norm Coleman is still having to battle
Al Franken because a third party fool took away just enough votes that would have put Sen. Coleman back in the
Senate with no recount of the voting.

Those in the single digit numbers are just that.
Huck is a shyster - Sanford, Pawlwnty and Crist are the
worst speakers and not forceful as candidates nation wide

Gov. Palin was home during CPAC taking care of business as Gov.

Gov. Palin got the largest crowds and energized them
during the campaign as no other.

Her message got the Left Wing media in gear smearing her
as they can’t stand a forceful Conservative.

The attacks of TeamROMNEY on Gov.Palin and Gov.Jindal appear
to have temporarily paid off for the Mittster.

Also, note that the voters in the straw vote may not have seen the "dots"
which FReepers saw.

To win this straw vote, RINO Romney has had TeamROMNEY attack
many people in Feb 2009.
Connect the dots...... Just like in 2007 and 2008, all the HATE and dirty tricks lead back to TeamROMNEY.
Review the attacks this week, FReepers. HOW MANY MUST OCCUR BEFORE IT IS NOT CO-INCIDENCE?

Dan Gilgoff is a Romney supporter, fresh
off the bench and in to attack Gov. Palin this month, for backstabber Carpetbagger RINO Mitt Romney.
There are enough attacks against Gov. Palin that this effort is concerted (p < .0001)


Dan Gilgoff: "Bobby Jindal, Catholic, Draws the Same "Secret Muslim" Allegations That Haunted Obama"
February 24, 2009 - I'm surprised that a few comments on my post about Bobby Jindal as the new face of
Christian conservatism allege that he's got ancestral Muslim roots, in addition to the acknowledged
Hinduism of his Indian born parents.
Remind you of any other recent rumor campaigns against promising young minority politicians?
What's surprising is that some of the comments appear to be from pro-Sarah Palin conservatives."


BZZZZZZT: The Real Deal is otherwise.


Dan Gilgoff, May 8, 2007, "A seat at Romney's table"
"If the next Republican to occupy the White House must follow that same strategy,
Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts governor, may be in much better shape than polls suggest.
..At last week's debate, Romney went furthest in speaking the language of the Christian Right, ...
Romney's also meeting with evangelical leaders,
even sending them wooden chairs mounted with plaques declaring,
"You are welcome at our table anytime."


Gilgoff: "Bigoted Redneck Evangelicals Stopped the Nomination of Marvelous Mitt
.... I’m so offended at the suggestion of Dan Gilgoff in USA Today
that the reason that Mitt Romney lost is because we Evangelicals just couldn’t bring ourselves to vote for a Mormon.
I’ve followed the national conversation among Conservative Christians about Mitt Romney.
Little of it centered on his Mormonism, much more on the fact of his shift on the issues."

Dan Gilgoff Romney propagandist: "("A Massachusetts Conservative," U.S. News & World Report, 2/12/07)
Romney ... (w)ith a Democratic-controlled state legislature, he managed to
balance the budget without raising taxes."
[Romney called the tax increases "fees", and even raised them in NH !!!]


Joe Scarborough is yet another Romney supporter,
in to attack Gov. Palin this month, for backstabber RINO Mitt Romney.


"Pat Buchanan asks Ziegler who were the main culprits in the media attack against Palin,
and Joe Scarborough interrupted Ziegler and would not let him answer!"


"Scarborough: Romney Won Debate"
"Mitt Romney Absolutely Dominated"


"Joe Scarborough losing more and more sleep over McCain
"John McCain is ruining Joe Scarborough’s life. Joe can’t sleep or eat.
His man Romney is now showing 15 points behind McCain nationally.
Joe is sick over it. How could the good republicans of this nation vote for such a liberal.
He aims to do something about it. He doesn’t know what yet, but dammit,
Romney is going to be President if he has his way about it. He knows the real Mitt.
He knows Mitt simply lied to get elected in MA. He doesn’t know why he lied, and he doesn’t care."


More dots...... Carol Platt Liebau is yet another Romney supporter,
in to attack Gov. Palin this month, for backstabber Carpetbagger RINO Mitt Romney.
"Mitt Romney has been the most consistently excellent debater overall in the two meetings of the Republican candidates.
He is personable, clearly well informed, incredibly well-funded, and surrounded by a crack staff.
All that, taken together, goes far to explain why his numbers in Iowa -- and elsewhere -- are looking better and better."


"But the other candidate who's very compelling is Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney."


Even more dots...... Douglas Kmiec is yet another Romney supporter from the Romney Keep,
in to attack on the GOP, for backstabber Carpetbagger RINO Mitt Romney.
"Romney supporter turned Obama man Douglas Kmiec indulged in quite a litany of name-calling,
finger pointing and demagoguery against the GOP that would have been amazing from the same man only one year ago.
Kmiec has shown that he no longer cares much how he is viewed, going full Democrat Partisan at this point.
"

"Kmiec was named by Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney
to head the Romney for President Committee
on the Courts and the Constitution in 2007."


Surprise. Surprise. Connect the dots......
Cal Thomas is yet another Romney supporter,
in to attack Gov. Palin this month, for backstabber Carpetbagger RINO Mitt Romney.
"Cal’s Surprising Suggestion: ‘I Wish The Palins Would Leave The Stage For Awhile’"

"Romney obviously hopes that a growing number of Americans
accept the view of Cal Thomas, a popular journalist and an evangelical."

"Writing in his syndicated column, Cal Thomas commended Romney
for standing "on principle" and putting "more noble things ahead of self-interest." "


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"


Similar to Romney's other scortched earth tactics:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson
."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

Romney ranked about the same as McCain in the last election as far as how bad of a choice they were. Many Conservatives could not get past the fact that Romney was a Liberal trying to sound conservative. Yes, his religion did not help him either with some. Someone that was for the bail-out bunk and would consult with his lawyers before a military response to an attack, among many other problems, is not a Conservative.

Palin/Steele is my bet but 2012 is a long way off.

All I know for certain is that since bobby jindal is not a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN he will not even get the Republican Nomination.

Nothing against bobby, he is a fine 3rd rate governor of a 3rd rate state.

Save them (Palin & Jindal) for 2016 when the country finally tires of the Marxist Messiah and wants conservative change.

Sorry, America can NOT wait for 2016 to begin the chnage. We MUST act NOW for a chnage in 2010 & 2012!!!!

Perfect candidate with no flaws? I don’t think I once implied such a thing. However, I won’t imply this either I’ll state it outright, Romney is not a RINO, he is a dyed in the wool LIBERAL, at least he was until he decided he wanted to be the president.

A grown man CAN NOT support and advance LIBERAL policy and then declare that he’s “seen the light” when he wants to be Prez. A grown man can’t advance AND DONATE to pro-abortion causes and then “see the light” when his faith is questioned and he decides to be president. A grown man does not play gun grabber his whole life and then decide to be Pro 2A when he decides to run for President.

If Mitt had won the primary and then by some MIRACLE actually won the election we would have only a better (more palpable) liberal in the White House. You can be glad he’s there if you want, but you should be crying that the “most popular conservative” is a FREAKING LIB!

Oh, and go away.

“I will admit that I’d feel a hell of a lot more confident about the future if Romney was in the White House right now. Boy Wonder just took over and he’s already screwed the pooch so bad I’m starting to think we’ll never get out of this mess.”

Early on when fundraising started, Romney was way ahead in Ohio. Why? Economics. It was the number one issue in this state.

You can NOT hold Romney responsible for everything any Romney supporter does.
You are a bit obsessive.
2010 comes first.
It is WAY too early to get into this “beauty contest” stuff.

Agreed. I guess that’s what I was saying. We can’t enact change if we can’t at least get our guys in office.

"Palin/Steele...

I REALLY like the sound of that!"

Well, if we can get about another 70 million to agree, then we are in like Flynn! Seriously, it really is that simple! It is a large task, but not a complex one. The message must be "ONLY TRUE CONSERVATISM"! Palin is the real deal. Her simple style of down to earth common sense is very Reaganesque, yet it goes unnoticed, especially by us! Steele's straightforward honest style (and always with a smile) is a conservative's dream come true, yet it goes largely unnoticed. And what happens? Romney wins yet another CPAC straw poll. Now yes, it is only a straw poll, but it sends a clear message to the Dems: They have us exactly where they want us; cowardly and divided, and you can bet that they are lovin' it.

Well not me! Palin/Steele '12, all the way!!
