Who wants to consider the also rans

The gop has almost always nominated the also ran for the next time. Reagan was an also ran to Ford in 76 and won in 1980. In 1980, Bush was also ran to Reagan and won in 1988. Dole was also ran to Bush in 1988 and ran in 1996. McCain was also ran to Bush in 2000 and won in 2008. Next up could be Huckabee or Romney.

That itsy bitsy thing ???

Can she find it ???

She’d need to use tweezers and a microscope...

[staytrue]

it seems that Romney is going the route of Giuliani here.

Yeah, this site seems to be full of ignorant Palinistas. And I happen to like Palin. It is too bad her supporters have gone "letterman" in their bashing of Romney.

[staytrue]

I'd like to think that a Palin backer who doesn't believe that calling other Repubs every derogatory term in the book is still welcomed here

We will have to see how long it is before the mob wants to lynch us.

“A Romney campaign aide is also under investigation by police in Massachusetts for allegedly impersonating a state trooper...”

I think bringing up “troopergate” is a loser for all concerned and Palin in particular.

[politicalmerc]

Oh, I’d consider bankrupting Massachusetts an act of patriotism.<<<<<<<<<<<<<,

Isn't it funny how the "ivy leaguers" and the "intelligencia" in Mass, NYC, California all laugh at the idiot hicks in places like Alaska and the South, but their broke and we "ain't?"

[staytrue]

Mitt supporters have actually been his biggest detriment. I could take or leave the guy but find myself rooting for his defeat only after dealing with Romneybots.

I'm feeling the same way about the Palinistas.

[staytrue]

Romney is only in the "race" because his Team backstabs the woman in the race.

Most conservative frown on playing the race or sex card.

[staytrue]

Romneybots suck.

I happen to think Mitt and Sarah should make us all proud. But I will add in your words "Palinistas suck".

[longtermmemmory]

I think many if not most of the “bots” are just infultraitors. Trolls sent in to stir the pot. We did have a spell of paid trolls which were pro-Guiliani for a while but they were easily identified.

[staytrue]

“Romney, the commie bitch....Thank-you, Mittens, you morman cultist!”

You are not helping your arguments with this language.

please not huckster, huckabee is about as inspiring as dried up solid wallpaper paste.

I think our first order of business is to go RINO purging.

No more wusses like mccain, no more paid homophile staffers who are democrat party members working for republicans.

Just as career politicians are a problem, career STAFFERS are an equal problem.

(I for one would like to see a serious firing purge at the state department. Those halls are just socialism central)

[TChris]

I think our first order of business is to go RINO purging.

Considering the fact that nearly EVERY Republican politician has been labeled a RINO at one point or another, such a purge would leave us with a party of 10 members.

Whose definition of RINO are you going to use for that?

[Mojave]

Hey, why did Myth join the NRA two weeks before running for President?

Because he's a natural born fraud.

[longtermmemmory]

How about litmus tests.

For example, support the federal marriage amendment, second amendment, pro american, does not buy environwacko socialist agenda, lower taxes, smaller government, build the border fenceS...

it is not difficult.

if someone comes out pro-homosexual based marriage, pro amnesty, anti-second amendment, pro-big gov pork, pro large govenment, .... it is not a hard thing to spot.

RINOs are big and stinky.

" You can't even quote yourself accurately. These civilian owned weapons are almost NEVER used for killing people. I've noticed a close correlation between a poster's dishonesty and the likelihood that they'll be an apologist for gun grabbers like Romney."

It wasn't a quote, I was reiterating the point. I made no claims regarding the frequency of their use by civilians to kill people, except that I noted it is a very small number of incidents. Yes, assault weapons are made to kill people, just like cars are made to transport people. It's really not that difficult. A fact by the way, which doesn't bother me, but seems to burst the phony predicate on which you base your argument to own these weapons - 'hunting,' instead of recognizing the larger purpose and attendant rights associated with the Second Amendment.

[Antoninus]

Mitt Romney will not be president. Period.

[americanophile]

Well, I'm afraid I've missed your point. Yes, I understand that inanimate objects are without will. Why can't you recognize then that assault weapons are, by design, intended to kill people more effectively? That doesn't mean they will be used for that purpose, that doesn't mean they don't have other applications, or that they're inherently dangerous to possess, but that's their purpose. A fact by the way, that I don't attach any negative connations to. Unlike most peopel around here apparently, I don't think the Second Amendment should be based on phony arguments about hunting with Uzis, it should be based on its plain intent: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." We have the right to keep these weapons for self-protection, be it from intruders or the government itself.

Volkswagons were designed to transport Nazi staff. So by Romney-logic, anyone who drives a Volkswagon must be a Nazi.
