Yeah, I know. Said some similar things about Bush in 2000. But at least he was pro-life, pro-family, etc, and thank God we supported him over the idiot All Green Gore.
Said similar things about McCain in 2008. But when asked the question "when does human life begin?," and he unabashedly stated, "At conception, of course," I had to take notice. Then when he announced Sarah Palin as his running mate, I decided to support her. I voted for Sarah (and the white haired old geezer that came along with the package).
But Romney is a NO go. And I don't care who this socialist, abortionist, homosexualist, constitution trampling bastard picks for running mate. If Romney's in I'm out!
G.O.P., R.I.P!
Last you checked ? ROTFLMAO! Check next week, and every couple days. That worthless liberal puke changes positions on the issues every couple days!
Check again, while he may be a few of those things, he is not all of them and even the ones he agrees with now will change if its to his advantage...
He has the smell of Arlen Specter, opportunist extraordinaire, about him...
Palin/Sanford or Sanford/Palin. I could support both with enthusiasm.
Love is blind...
I totally agree. Romney is a fake, phony, fraud with a big checkbook.
Didn’t you get the memo? We didn’t need the votes of no stinkin’ rinos in the last election. We can win without ‘em. That’s why we, uh.....got Obama. Yes, this comment is dripping with sarcasm.
Dittos. I think should stood up quite well. The MSM came out looking quite small.
FWIW, I do.
You like most the rest of us, did what we had to do last coupe election cycles.
I got the memo, but I tore it up. :)
Unlike some folks here, I can actually form my own opinion about politicians without having it formed for me.
And, as Reagan said, “My 80 percent ally is not my 20 percent enemy.”
In due time. But whoever I support will be a conservative first, or I’ll support no one.
Bush was a short term gain (judges, WOT, etc,) but a long term disaster for America. His panicky pushing of the imminent “economic collapse” and Paulson’s Wall Street banker bailout package to “save us” from the Great Depression II cost us the election and set the precedent for Obama’s all out plunge into full-blown socialism. And ditto on McCain. His support for the trillion dollar bailout cost him the election. Together, they’ve just about doomed our free enterprise system. Romney would drive the final nails into the pine box coffin lid. America, RIP.
You got that right.
If they want to commit suicide, they'll have to drive into that bridge abutment without me as a passenger, too.
As of right now, the GOP does not have a viable candidate. Thanks to Bush the bar has been set so high we not have one by the next election. The best candidates may not run and Sarah may still be in court fight ethics problems. While Romney is fighting the gay community because he is a Mormon. Meanwhile our current POTUS is busy destroying the entire fabric of the nation.
We are all whores. How does this statement not apply to the rino we all voted for in the past election? Now we know better? Come on, we all knew better before the election.
It's silly to pretend that marxist light was going to be that much different than the full marxist. It's as silly as pretending that the Al Davis look-alike was anything more than a democrat pretending to be a Republican so he could more easily engage in the destruction of America and capitalism.
The truth of the matter is that darn near every one of us would have held our nose and voted for Romney or Huckabee had either of them won the nomination.
We all know of the McCain hatred of all things conservative. I'd much rather of had rolled the dice on a guy who could of turned into a stealth conservative than vote for a guy I know for certain would sell out the U.S. at any and every opportunity.
Yes, many of us are upset with the Republican Party from time to time.
However, you are in a very small minority, as far as the number of people on FR that want to completely destroy the Republican Party and start an new Party.
You are in an even SMALLER group if you think that your “strategy” will accomplish anything.
But Jim! Didn’t you hear Lindsey Graham say the other day that the GOP needs more moderates!?!
And...oh my...even Nancy “The Wicked Witch of the West” Pelosi said the GOP should become more like...like...the Democratic Party. It should be “the party of protecting the environment, the party of individual rights, the party of fairness.”
We NEED Mitt.....
HAH!
Like we need b. Hussein.
LOL!

Jim,
This is the time to put forth a constructive vision for the future of conservatism. I agree that Mitt is not part of that future.
However, I emphasize the word “constructive”. The greatest POTUS in my lifetime was a clear conservative thinker who also spend a lot of time party building. Please feel free to investigate and follow his example.
If you (and others) think that a third party will help conservatives, then you are sadly deluding yourselves.
