You are dreaming. If it is whittled to Romney and Palin, there will be a tidal wave of libs for Romney in the primaries just like for McCain.
Maybe that explains Perry's awful performance--Fred Thompson syndrome. I mean, the guy got elected 3 times in Texas. Hard to believe he did it with the kind of ineptitude he's demonstrated so far. Maybe he just isn't motivated.
I've been saying it looks like we'll end up with Romney. The Cain train will end up at a siding. By the time it becomes apparant, the Tea Party is going to be in shock. And who knows? Maybe they'll hand Obama re-election.
Liberals really really hate Palin. Just the idea of her getting in the WH is so horrible to them that I don’t think they could place the ballot for her.
If they are posting against a candidate, they better either be supporting (meaning $$) another candidate, or waiting for Palin. We are getting late in the game and the media has already used the no $$ meme against Cain.
So how did this "titan" affect the outcome? Giuliani lost. HELLO?
Romney v Obama. That’s a very easy choice.
I’m sorry, where did you get that quote?
It wasn’t mine.
Eh, I’m thinking that since Perry’s a dead horse, you no longer need to waste your time. No one is listening to him anymore, right? Just look at the polling. Listen to the posters here.
Romney’s still alive and kicking, though, but you seem to prefer going after the one target that no one cares about anymore.
Why?
“Maybe they’ll hand Obama re-election. “
No, I think Romney could win. And that will really change the GOP
What in the world makes you think that Mittens would nominate a Thomas or a Scalia?
Remember who appointed John Paul Stevens? A Republican.
Or Harry Blackmun...A Republican.
Or David Souter...A Republican.
Or Earl Warren...A Republican.
We could really use some more of those types.
Anybody who makes George HW Bush seem conservative is too liberal for me.
You are right that libs hate Palin. Where I work is lib central and hatred is an understatement. I have asked libs directly who they would vote for if they cross in the primary and all of them say Romney.
And then the Obama team will destroy Romney. They've expected him for two years now, and I am told by mole friends they have absolutely devastating ads ALREADY MADE against him.
I will be eternally grateful that he did tell the truth about his stance on illegals. But it appears to me that was a calculated political decision that backfired badly.
I agree 100% though. Definitely a much bigger problem. He’s entitled to ‘think’ that way (though I think he’s VERY misguided for doing it) but while many in TX might believe it too, many more in America don’t...and it’s those ‘many more’ he’s trying to get votes from for the Big Chair. And then rubbing our noses in it with the ‘heartless’ comment finished him.
“Don’t like it? Then talk to the management to have me zotted.”
Boy, are you ever sensitive! No, you are entitled to your opinion.
If you want to leave the door open to four more years of Obama supreme court appointments and are OK with four more years of Holder because the GOP nominee is not conservative enough, hey - your choice.
I don’t know who “Mittens” is, but yeah, any GOP nominee would be better. Absolutely. Even anyone McCain would have chosen would be better than Sotomayor and Holder.
No. I’m pointing out the logic fallacy of someone saying that a candidate is toast, with no more support... in other words, a dead horse.
And then spending all this time continuing to do so.
If the candidate is as dead as the poster claims, there would *BE* no need to continually beat the dead horse.
Do you understand that concept?
I notice a clear and direct answer was not enough for you to understand. Try reading it again. Slower.
All that money didn’t do Rudy much good last time...
Right.
Another conservative to divide the conservative vote even further and hand Romney the nomination.
We forget that outside the echo chamber of Free Republic there are tons of moderates and disaffected Democrats and even more totally apolitical folks who trudge to the polls only in a Presidential year because the race is so high profile.
Palin cannot and will not win those votes.
I think Cain can while giving us the strongest conservative philosophy possible.
But I will state on the record, right now that if Romney emerges as the nominee I will wholeheartedly support him. You can delude yourselves all you want that he might be as bad as Obama, but it’s just not true. We need to get rid of the anti-American in the office.
If Palin gets in, her timing will have been impecable.
