No, he’s probably not in the bag for Romney. Mitt Romney has been running for years now, ever since the last election and, as another Freeper pointed out, at least from 2006.

Romney has his personal fortune and since he “declared” his candidacy years ago, he has been able to collect big bucks without any competitors. And because he’s essentially the Mormon version of Obama, the press is simply ignoring him, not attacking or examining him, and relying on the fact that few GOPers and even fewer independents will vote for him. This means that their baby, Obama, will be reelected by a landslide.

You may not agree with Kristol on a lot of things, and neither do I, but many of his positions actually are conservative, and I think he and many “moderate” conservatives were probably claimed by Romney as his own - but are now beginning to rebel.

As it says in the Gospels, via Isaiah, “he shall not quench the smoking flax...” That is, don’t stamp out people who are coming to a realization because they’re not as “perfect” as you are.

What a pretentious and arrogant thing for you to write to me. You are totally out of line with your holier than thou lecture. Regarding Kristol, I point you to his multiple statements on Fox News wherein he has stated that Romney is going to be the nominee. I stand by my statement based upon his multiple proclamations as such.

Let he who is without sin... judge not... and I can suggest a very snug place you can pound your bible there Sparky.

Get off your high horse there pastor. All you’re doing is insulting decent people and making yourself look foolish.

I agree with your assessment of Bill Kristol.

I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Kristol during the 2008 primary season, as McCain was pulling ahead. I asked him whether he thought Romney could rally conservatives to stop McCain. He became visibly upset:

“Romney is a fake conservative. Where was he in the 90’s when we were fighting the battles on welfare reform, healthcare, and entitlements?”
