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.

I am not going to sit by silently while ignorance and bigotry slams the Republican state of Mississippi over the democrat blue state of Massachusetts that was only recently shown to have some sense of patriotism and sense with the election of Scott Brown.

MADISON (WKOW) — An author from Alabama, who speaks to white supremacists about “slavery being ordained by God,” will no longer speak at a tea party rally in Wausau next week.

John Eidsmoe was originally scheduled to appear at the event, but was pulled after the Jefferson County circuit judge says he didn’t want to speak at the same event as Eidsmoe. Eidsmoe offered to withdraw from the rally when approached.http://www.wxow.com/Global/story.asp?S=12283491

Oh I agree, but in the end the only one that really looks ignorant in this exchange is our wacky friend here.

I strand in the heart of Conservative country, which means I cannot support a liberal back stabber like Mitt even if the well coiffed one is the “fairest in the land”...

Constitutional conservatism is not just an item on the conservative wish list. It's now a fight for the nation's survival. Who will take-up the mantle?

Exactly. There is a line of argument that talks about the perfect being the enemy of the good. While there is some truth to that America has been so undermined that just "good" isn't likely to be good enough to make a difference. If the roll to socialism had been turned back a decade or more ago then maybe "good" would be enough to get by...but I think we're too close to the very edge and might have too much momentum for anything less than the "perfect" to turn it around.

As for who that is...we need the equivalent of Speed Racer to get us down this mountain without brakes.

With the excepting of hacking for Romney, most of what this posters says makes no sense.
Unless, you understand the posts, maybe you could explain them.

Here's a better article: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/03/16/romneys_words_grow_hard_on_immigration/

As far as I know, Romney was the ONLY candidate from 2008 who advocated this:

Romney has also expressed an openness to changing the US policy of granting automatic citizenship to those born on American soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. Some conservatives call them "anchor babies," because as adults they can apply to bring their relatives from abroad.

Very important but often ignored element in immigration issues.

You keep making my point.

Go to bed, and in the morning have a big pot of black coffee, you'll feel much better.

I have seen the boss toss several with born on dates in those ranges because they are stupid enough to push Romney.

Perhaps we will see it again...
