Could it be the latest sign that Mitt Romney is preparing to run for president again?

Hotline is reporting that Romney is making moves to establish his legal residency in New Hampshire -- site of the first-in-the-nation primary.

The former Massachusetts governor is selling homes in Belmont, Mass., and in Utah, and plans to spend time at his summer home on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in the Granite State, notes Hotline, the political blog of the National Journal.

The right strategy now is to attack Romney and stop his Trojan Horse efforts to destroy the conservative movement, the way we do that is to constantly reveal who Romney really is by revealing him before his massive and cynical 2008 makeover.

We are going to have to work day and night to block his purchase of the nomination, he is already building on a 150 million advertising campaign that has repackaged him to many more impressionable voters.

We also will have to work hard to minimize his efforts against our great conservatives like Governor Palin, I have to assume that you are together with us in our efforts to block that rino from pulling off a liberal coup.

He is like that pesky little kid that follows you around school going “what are we doing? Huh? Huh?”.

He needs to just go away.

This guy is just a rootless opportunist in every way, no home, no beliefs, not even a party, he goes wherever he sees an opportunity to promote himself for power.

Yep, that’s Mitt.

After the Evangelical George W. Bush they ought to tuck their tail between their legs. It's not the Protestant Party it's the Republican Party.

Evangelicals hold conservatism together with out them it wouldn't exist. Protestants are the only group that votes republican.

In your mind who would replace them?

Poor Mitt,
"Despite the school's rarefied air, it was still a high school, so the jocks tended to be the most popular. Mitt's singular distinction as an athlete was an embarrassing one, classmates recall. He competed in a 2.5-mile race held during a football game, setting off with the rest of the runners at the start of halftime.

Everyone returned before the second half of the football game began, except Mitt. He didn't resurface until about 10 minutes after the last runner. He staggered around the oval for the final lap, collapsing twice in the last 15 yards but drawing cheers from the crowd when he finally crossed the finish line. "It had to be one of those moments that made you feel good, but inadequate," Bailey says. "But those kinds of things didn't bother him."

How is Huckabee a “bigot”?

Everytime you attack him, you build his image as a victim and you push his supporters to circle the wagons to defend him.

Sarah is clearly a better alternative for conservatives. Build her and the need to attack him becomes non-existent. He couldn't beat her in a statewide election in Utah. I think he will eventually figure that out and settle for something less than the POTUS nomination. Like a cabinet position where he might actually do some good.

Let’s just say that he likes illegal aliens who will never vote Republican a lot more than Mormons who will. Huck and Mitt are yesterday’s news. We need a candidate who can unite the bickering factions of the party. Like Sarah Palin.

I love Palin. I didn’t care for Huck and I cannot stand Mitt. I doubt Huck will run again. Mitt on the other hand will tear down Palin in order to get the nomination. I don’t trust him one whit.

You have it backwards.

Mitt Romney has attacked America through
1) his imposition of socialized medicine
2) his imposition of gay marriage
3) his usurpation of the Mass. Constitution (see #2)
4) his imposition of murderer-freeing judges by ignoring
GOP and conservative candidates
5) his coverup of the BIG-DIG
6) his attacks on Gov. Palin leading to Obama as President

Therefore, the American people and Massachusetts
citizens have been repeatedly “raped” (and in some cases
murdered) because of Mitt Romney.

Romney has been exposed, not attacked.

You are a big Romney devotee, but Romney is scum and a compulsive liar that even lies about mundane guy things like hunting and owning a gun and starting to claim that he really “longed to serve in Vietnam”, marching with MLK and all kinds of self aggrandizing BS.

You viciously attack Mike Huckabee and even the core of conservatism, evangelicals and Christians.

I will continue to expose Mitt Romney and you as Mr. Governor Huckabee hater can take your own advice and lay off of him if you choose.

Get with the plan Stan and get Romney the hell away from leadership.

Frankly you could lay off this tying at the hips of Governor Palin and the loser Mitt Romney too, you are laying it on a little thick.

Wake up. Evangelicals can’t win by themselves anymore.

I have nothing to wake up from, I never laid out that straw dog.

You need to learn something about who the conservatives are though.

Suit yourself. Go refight last year’s civil war. I plan to support a candidate of the future like Sarah Palin rather than wallow in the mud with small little minds such as yours. Good luck in resurrecting Huck. I’ve suggested a better alternative, but you’d rather play in your sandbox with your mud pies. So sad, too bad, go pout and see what a grand coalition you can put in place with a guy who still couldn’t finish second with the whole field clear after Super Tuesday.

The conservatives must come from more than one group if we are to win.

Are you out in the ozone? Have you checked what the subject of this thread is?

Mitt Romney is running for president and has to go through Governor Palin and Governor Jindal and several other conservatives to get there, quit defending her opposition, and no I have never been a Huckabee supporter, I just love to point out a Romneybots hypocrisy.

You seem stuck in 2008, quit supporting Romney and help us try to keep him from blocking Governor Palin and the others, this is a new election year man, forget that old Huckabee, McCain stuff.

Gee, you think? But you don’t declare war on the only actual conservative group in America and expect to mysteriously keep conservatism in the running.
