How’d you like all of his bots on here putting out the disinformation since late last year that “he wasn’t running again !” ? Same lies, same Slick Willard farce. Well, we’re just gonna have to take out the TRASH again.

I hope a business guy runs (Not Romney- he’s a politician first). I don’t know, Forbes or someone.

Just exactly what is the new meaning of “Lady” these days? Does it mean you are a liberal Harvard elitists girl who doesn't say buttocks or does it mean that you love abortionists but pretend that you don't because we are against Mormons who have fake hair but they pay my for my cruise while the country burns under socialist slavery? I'm confused.

Forbes is a geek. Mitt is a businessman not a career politician.

Forbes may be a “geek,” but he is a good and smart geek. :-)

Throw in Haley Barbour, too, if you want to list folks I would support before Mitt. He’s not quite as much of a RINO as McQueeg, but McQueeg was a legitimate war hero, deserving of respect for his military service alone. Take away Mitt’s RINO status, and what’s left?

Not enough for me to get enthusiastic about, so, yeah, pick Mitt and we lose in 2012, too. I say that because I’m fairly easily impressed by a conservative willing to run again O. If I’m not convinced by Mitt, independents won’t be swayed at all. Been there, done that 2006, 2008.

There are no serious and credible judges who adopt a strict constructionist view of the USC. Conservatives have a strange habit of tripping over this.

I think you mean a Constitutional originalist approach.

Slick Willard is the grim reaper. Kills everything he touches (’cept for the Democrat party and Socialist agenda, he makes ‘em grow like crazy).

Of the 10 people listed in the Straw Poll, only ONE has military service to the country he wants to lead!

Bain Capital did well under him and so did many companies because of that.

Yes, he turned Massachusetts around from the red to being in the black.
He also turned the Olympics around.

Rush likes him. Beck likes him. Coulter likes him.
He is smart.

And true, he does not look like Howdy Doody....and isnt weak.

“.....he’s dead on arrival.”
I agree. Speaking for myself, I will not vote for him.
