"It not about winning here anymore," one Romney staffer told BuzzFeed. "It's about destroying Gingrich — and it's working."I get that part. I get the part about Willard destroying conservatives. But I will remember this. I will never, ever support, or vote for, Romney. I would prefer Obama.
I am waiting for the GOP to call me for a contribution. By the time I get through with them they will NEVER want to call me again.
In addition, I am changing my affiliation from republican to independent.
FUGOP.
“But I will remember this. I will never, ever support, or vote for, Romney. I would prefer Obama.”
Although Romney and Obama share the same positions, sadly I think Obama is more honest, genuine, and has more integrity.
I think I just threw up a little when typing that.
I arrived at that shortly before things got really nasty. The reasoning went like this: In a Romney vs Obama contest, if the conservatives don't vote for Romney, he'll lose by about 20 points; if they hold nose and vote for Romney he'll lose by about 10 points.
Romney deserves to lose by 20. Teach the party a lesson and don't vote for Romney.
I think we need to put the boot on the necks of the National Republic Party who decides before the primaries who they want to be their representative. I agree that they are out to destroy Conservatives but all they have done is make us angry.
I will not vote for either Romney, Paul or Obama but will write in Newt’s name before I will lower myself any longer. I held my nose & voted the Republican line for Dole & McCain but the Republican Party is no longer my Party. I left the Democrats because they went Socialist, Republicans are now the new Democrats & the Conservatives are now the Tea Party. I have already hung up on Romney robo calls here in Fl. Romney is no better than Obama & I bet that if he is President he will “NOT” repeal Obama care since its taken from his Romney care. I can’t believe that most the Democrat voters haven’t awoke to the fact that their party is no longer the Democrat Party but a Socialist Party & out to destroy the USA. We need to fight for our country even if most everyone is against us - God bless the USA!
Romney is ALL about destroying the Conservative movement, and apparently has the approval of the Republican party to do it. This might be the easiest election Obama has ever won..he doesnt even need to pander to illegals to vote for him, this time he could win legit. I will NEVER EVER vote for Obama, I’d rather slit my wrist then vote for him, but unfortunately with Romney as the nominee Obama is a lock for 4 more years. WOW can you just imagine that, 4 more years of Obama, we won’t have a country by the time he is done destroying it.
I can relate...we do KNOW Obama IS the enemy of this country. Romney, on the same hand, wears a deceptive and vile mask which can and does fool the uniformed. For that, and because of the "other" agenda he has then he's telling us I will not vote for him. At least with Obama we know what we are fighting....besides if Romney does get it we're done anyway.
rat...It's the new conservatism.
“I will never, ever support, or vote for, Romney. I would prefer Obama.”
I’m afraid I’m getting there, too. There is no way, especially after FL, I can vote for Romney. The man is just evil, as are his front men. Screw him, the Mack’s, McCain, Dole, Abrams, et al.
I agree. This is the nastiest campaign, or certainly the nastiest primary, that i have ever witnessed. I think back to 2000 when McCain was so upset at Bush for something that happened in SC, i believe; yet that was absolutely nothing compared to what Romney has pulled here. And not just a single low blow, but one after another after another. Reagan’s 11th commandment has given away to Romney’s Attack and Destroy Your Fellow Republican (that is, if he’s a conservative).
What a legacy. What a man. And whatever he is, he’s not a conservative nor is he the Mr. Nice Guy that he had pretended to be for so long. That mask has completely fallen off.
And yes, Romney may well succeed here in Florida but at what price? If he goes on to win it all i don’t care if he puts Bachmann, Rubio, or even Rush Limbaugh on the ticket, for the man at the top is not only NOT conservative but he is thoroughly corrupt and has run a thoroughly contemptible campaign. Just as it wouldn’t have really mattered if Palin were VP to John McCain, for the country would not have been steered any further to the right just because she was his VP, the same would hold true for Romney. Maybe some will fall for it but i doubt many here will forget how he has treated conservatives throughout his run for the White House. So why should we expect that treatment to change should he happen to sit in the Oval Office some day?
For these latest destroy-at-all-cost tactics have only given more weight to what many suspected: that he and his team were behind the negative attacks against conservative candidates throughout the primary, not just the ones aimed more recently at Gingrich. He has crossed over the line. In fact, over many lines. From blatantly false advertising to sending surrogates around to openly mock Gingrich at his own rallies and who knows what else has been done behind the scenes. And as far as Gingrich goes, those nasty attacks have been directed at someone who has done far more to advance conservatism than Romney could ever dream of doing.
Not that he would ever have such dreams.
In short, a couple months ago i thought Romney was at least a decent man even if he wasn’t a true conservative, and i would have fallen in the camp of those who said they wouldn’t like it but come November would hold their nose and vote for Romney if he were the nominee. But not now. No way.
Odd. Newt isn’t trying to destroy Romney, just debate on the merits. Romney’s doing it to himself. If he wins Florida with this kind of gutter tactic, he’ll be done in the other 47 states, whether Newt is destroyed or not.
Willard the Rat is the most contemptible Republican candidate since Gerald Ford, and we know what happened to him. Jimmy Carter beat him for crying out loud. Romney may lose upwards of 45 states if he wins the nomination.
If you support Obama, you are NOT a conservative. PERIOD.
I will not support Romney if he is the nominee. He may succeed in getting the nomination; however, he has further succeeded in destorying any conservative support in the fall. They’ll set on their hands, the same way they did with McCain and Dole. There is no way he can unite the GOP behind him if he even wins in the fall.
What a pure prick.
Same here! Exactly. And that's just what will happen if that phony Pro-Abortion, Socialistic Health Care peddler Romney were to get the GOP Nom. I wouldn't vote for Romney for anything. When Obama is re-elected, we'll just have to wait 4 years to turn things around and rid the Party of RINOS. Meanwhile, we just support the Tea Party and beefing-up the Senate and Congress with like-minded folks.
GO NEWT!!!
