You don't seem to realize that that is the approach that gave us McCain last time, and therefore Obama.
Last time, the one we hoped for, Fred, couldn't get a good campaign going. So who is our fall back? Romney seemed to be doing well. However the “destroy Romney” activity started its work and he “had his legs cut out from under him.” So we got McCain. I would rather have Romney than McCain and certainly either more than Obama. But as a result we got Obama.
Sarah is great, but (if she runs)in the primary she could have a lot of “Kati Curic” moments. Or she may not have developed an organization. In which case she may fade away. In that case we had better have some other options on the back bench.
For that reason I feel that is wrong to spend time trying “to cut the legs out from under” anyone. That is an unChristian, a negative, and an undemocratic approach. And I think we will again pay a price for it if we follow it.

broncobilly (dedicated RomneyBOT): "You don't seem to realize that that is the approach that gave us McCain last time, and therefore Obama."

You are deluded. Obama resulted because of Spoiler Romney and "No one from Arizona can win" McCain.

"Romney Disses Palin Again - This Time by Proxy"
"Who's Mike Murphy? He's a Romney guy!
He's hated Palin from Day One...when she was announced as McCain's VP nominee,
he was the jerkwad on the air with Peggy Noonan when she made her infamous hot-mike disparaging remarks about Palin...
nd he himself was calling the Palin choice "gimmicky" and "cynical."
They never gave Palin a chance.
They had contempt for her and for the ordinary Americans she represents."

"Murphy is a Romney hack.
Although he worked for McCain in 2000, he switched to help Romney for the 2008 race.
He now works for Palin-deranged MSNBC as a token Republican."



Spoiler Romney attacks Gov. Palin:

"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?"


Poor sport spoiler Romney attacks other GOP candidatesn:

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."

McCain, Fred, Romney? You left out Giuliani and Duncan Hunter and Hillary Clinton. What year do you think it is? 2007 and the 2008 election is over, it is time to forget your glory days of the past and look to the future. Those old political names are history from a bygone era.

The only dinosaur that is still around that can hurt us is Mitt Romney, we have a feast of riches with successful sitting governors and others to choose from and all you mention is that if it isn’t Governor Palin then we need the failed rino Mitt Romney as our only desperate fall back candidate. We also don’t need Mormons lecturing us that to try to block an unsuitable candidate from defeating OUR candidates in OUR primaries is “unchristian” and “an undemocratic approach”, it is the very exercise of democracy and the political process to try to take out an unsuitable candidate before he can destroy the party.

To claim that not supporting your loser, liberal candidate as leader of OUR conservative movement is “an undemocratic approach” is pretty rich even for a famous Romney obsessive like you, You signed up at FR to promote your fellow Mormon and you have done it relentlessly ever since, your interest is narrow and self serving, in fact this last post reads almost like your very first post here at FR.
