Mitt Romney Wins GOP Presidential Straw Poll
CBS News ^ | 4/10/2010

Posted on 04/10/2010 8:46:17 PM PDT by GVnana

NEW ORLEANS -- Mitt Romney won the straw poll at the Southern Republican Leadership conference here Saturday in a victory that will be taken as a sign of the former Massachusetts governor's strength as a 2012 presidential candidate.

That's because the 2008 GOP presidential hopeful elected to skip the conference to continue his book tour.

Romney triumphed by a single vote over Ron Paul, who took second place 439 votes to 438. Both men won 24 percent of the vote. Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich essentially tied for third with 18 percent of the vote each.

How many people showed up to hear Romney’s speach at this event? That’s right; he was afraid to show up at an event and try to compete with Sarah Palin.

I don’t know how you got the name Truth and Freedom..because there is no Truth to the fact that Romney gave us Gay Marriage in Massachusetts.. that is LIE..

Romney has also called for the federal Constitution to be amended to limit marriage in the United States to unions of one man and one woman

LOL. He’s America’s candidate! Just ask him....once he admits he’s running. Gee, he wrote a book... bought enough copies to put his book #1 on the NYT best seller list for ONE WEEK, and now he bought a straw poll. Yet, when last asked by Chris Wallace, he said he hadn’t decided whether he wanted to run for the nomination again......

There is another year and a half before things start getting real serious. She is a very smart woman and she know what she believes in; which right in line with most Americans.

Well, Giuliani was hardly one to talk on that issue.

For my own part, I think this argument about putting the onus on employers to police immigrants is BS.

It completely skirts the tough issues of:

1) the federal government deliberately not enforcing immigration law,

2) the obligation to return illegals to the border when they are discovered. (People don't like the unpleasant pictures, so it's easier to punish employers and let the immigration continue.)

One thing he could not buy was the nomination last time, despite spending some of the most money per vote received in history.

Right, he couldn’t even buy Iowa. Huckabee swooped-in and there went a year’s worth of ground work and a whole lot of money.

Wow, Mitt Romney is proven to be a disgusting liar, a scoundrel and an illegal alien employer for 11 years and keeping them on even after being busted by the national media for it once and pretending to have let them go, and your reaction is that?

You should be happy that Rudy brought it up in the debate or no one would have known that Romney was still using them.

From ‘portlandon’ in
the comments
at Hot Air:

Romney- Buys 500 $119 tickets= $59,500
=TIE FOR FIRST

Paul- Buys 800 $119 tickets= $95,200 =TIE FOR FIRST

Palin-
Buys 500 Caribou Jerky= $1,500 = SECOND PLACE
WHICH ONE IS
FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE?
WHICH ONE GOT MORE FOR THEIR MONEY?

"One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share."

Sincerely, W. Mitt Romney (and my five light in the loafers, sons, who refuse to serve, just like me and every other Romney male in history)
