Romney - no matter what his shortcomings - loves America. Obama hates it. To me that is a HUGE difference.

“President Obama and Mitt Romney are Nearly One and the Same!”

EXACTLY! This is why if Romney is the GOP candidate they will lose the election.
If we keep voting for these Dem Lite candidates the GOP put out there, they have no incentive to get it right the next time

Deep down, Conservatives and Independents know this so is it Newt and Bachmann....for starters? If you listen to what Newt says, or find the text and read for yourself, the man is pretty much on target and NOT how the MSM presents his remarks...he is misquoted quite a bit so beware, Soros and others don’t want this man upsetting their sand boxes *~*

Having inherited a budget surplus from Bill Clinton...

Stopped reading right there. Clinton had nothing to do with a budget surplus. A Republican controlled Congress controlled the purse strings. Just like with zero, a rat controlled congress gave him everything he wanted. If the author can't get the most basic facts right, how reliable will his analysis be?

Clinton got into office with the mantra, “It’s the economy, stupid.” There had been a minor recession shortly before the election, but it was already ending. The clinton years were good partly because congress kept him leashed in, but mostly because the Reagan tax cuts were finally kicking in to full effect.

But it is true that Bush1 folded and broke his promise not to raise taxes. And it’s true that Bush2 was an idiotically big spender, even before the Dems took over congress and made things even worse.

Which is another reason why the lamestream media desperately wants Romney to be the GOP nominee.

Romney has a lot of backing from primary voters in early states who think they know best even though they are consistently wrong.

Why what for? Mike Shedlock did not claim that President Bush inherited a budget surplus from Bill Clinton. It was an Op-ed by David W. Wise

http://www.ipolitics.ca/2011/11/25/op-ed-not-your-grandfathers-republican-party/

I have said many time when ever the left claims that President Bush inherited a budget surplus from Billy Jeff, that he wouldn't have if Clinton didn't have a Republican Congress. At the time time 0bama can not claim that he inherited a bad economy and the high unemployment, because as everyone knows before the rats took over in January 2007 the economy was thriving and unemployment was practically nonexistent. BTW 0bama was part of the economy turning south because he voted for the deficit

romney is very bad, he is a flip flopper. obama is evil incarnate, a despicable and loathsome creature destined for the pit in Hell. Because romney actually is a flopper, there is some chance to bring him to our side when pressure is applied. With obama, you only have guaranteed misery, depression and tyranny. This country wil NEVER survive 4 more years of the devil obama.
Basically, between romney and obama, the choice is Purgatory or Hell

... Actions speak louder than words. ...

Absolutely! It amazes me how many judge a candidate by promises made when seeking your vote, not on past actions. It also amazes me how many sins are forgiven if there is an R after the candidate's name.

Socialism is socialism whether we get there at a sprint or a crawl.

If we keep fishin from the same ol pond, were gonna keep catchin the same ol big mouth bass.

Vote for true conservatism, not this moderate, left leaning perversion of it.

Eww eww, just had a thought, maybe we could call Romney's version compassionate conservatism, yea that's it, compassionate conservatism.

Enough of the RINO stuff already.

Then take Purgatory. Purgatory is short, a refining fire, and leads to complete holiness and entrance into Heaven.

Grandpa's Republican Party? Not the same as today's? Don't believe that it's all just started. It's been around for most of the 20th century it seems to me.

A couple of quotes from the 1964 Republican presidential race, mostly Rockefeller v. Goldwater: the Party's internationalist establishment v. citizen patriots, respectively.

1) Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer, said that Nelson's instructions were, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."

2) Here is Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen, Republican of Ill., at the 1964 Republican convention that picked Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona as the Republican candidate for president: Today, the Illinois Senator said, "it is the fashion of our critics to sneer at patriotism, to label positions of strength as extremism, to find other nations' points of view right more often than our own. Perhaps too long the bugles have sounded 'retreat' in our relations with other lands," he said.

The Dirksen quote is from a Tom Wicker report to the NY Times, July 1964.

Barry Goldwater was picked to end that sorry state. Though we eventually got Ronald Reagan we had to endure Jimmy Carter and later Bill Clinton and now whatever his real name is.

It's come time to get it over with. Whose America is going to survive? Don't leave it for the children.. again.. and again.

No I do not know what it takes.. it seems that anything is better than this slow death of the Republic in the hands of the likes of the anonymous street agitator and the Republican Washington establishment.

GeeOpie,  no shyte.   

The Party (tm) is infested with interior decorating RINO-crats who game the system for their own progressive activist causes instead of conserving the values this Republic was founded upon.   


"Oops"
