Romney was the hardest campaigner during the primary season and cleaned Thompson's clock. Unfortunately, the conservatives were so split that a lefty like Juan McCain was able to get the nomination with fewer votes than he had when he lost to W in 2000.
He didn’t pretend to run... He was the best and ONLY candidate that should have gotten support from Republicans, especially looking back in hindsight. The media derailed his casmpaign with lies and the uninformed BELIEVED those lies. Apparently even some Freepers did as well. The way I see it, is if you weren’t for Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson, YOU were part of the problem and the reason we are in the situation we are in right now. THIS IS A LESSON FOR THE NEXT ELECTION so please DO NOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA AND DO NOT VOTE OR SUPPORT ANOTHER RINO CANDIDATE!
True, Romney IS the hardest workin' man in the health care socialisation business.
