I see almost no policy differences between Obama and Romney. Maybe a margin difference here or there, but philosophically they are the nearly the same on almost every issue.
Romney is a liberal progressive clearly evidenced by running to the left of Ted Kennedy in Mass, and an inability to articulate and defend conservatism.
Making a slick, oily, arrogant, politician who ran to to left of Ted Kennedy the face of conservatism will set the conservative movement back for at least a decade.
23.6% and Newt is climbing - 30% now
Turn off Fox!
Yep, he's turned it into a game. I maintain that he does this because he's not REALLY concerned about the future of the republic. Sure, Rush is a conservative and is very good at presenting conservative arguments ...EXCEPT at election time.
Today's show (my first day back since last Wednesday) was actually pathetic. NEVER thought I would say that. I, for one, don't give a damn who Rush votes for. It makes NO difference. He's turned the primary into a foolish game ala "Operation Chaos" for the Republican stupid. Rush admitted he's losing friends over this election (something he has NEVER said before), but the game goes on.
For the ten thousandth time, I maintain that ANYONE who claims Mitt Romney is in ANY way conservative is an idiot or a moron ...take your pick.
Today I have been thinking a lot about Mitten's scorched earth campaign in Florida. I draw encouragement from the sage wisdom, "He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind."
“I am more convinced everyday it is time for us to start a new Conservative Party.”

I’m with you. Should Romney prevail and get the nomination, he will dive to the left to try to appease the centrists/indies. Kicking conservatives will be fair game once he’s out of the Convention and in the General.
They will try to eliminate as many Tea Party/Conservatives in House and Senate, and replace them with “Moderates”. This is an anti-conservative coup and they think we will show up to the polls for them and help them take us out!!!!!
I know what you mean. It’s finally sinking in-—we are really a minority in America.
Obama and Axelrod must be laughing their behinds off. The idiots in the establishment are about to nominate a man who holds one of the highest offices in a church that until the late 70’s didn’t let blacks become priests. And they’re going to run that guy against the first black President. I’m sure the TV ads have already been made.
No. Newt shouldn’t drop out. He’s up in the national polls. There was too much early voting (which favors Romney) and too much money spent by Romney. Let’s see if Romney can keep the spending up for the rest of the primaries/caucuses.
Not a sight I would want to see.
Until recently I was an anybody but 0 person, but I don’t know if I could vote for plastic permasmile buy the nomination liar maybe the devil romney.
I am sick over this. Blah. Blech.
Well, something’s up, cause it’s up to 45% reporting now. Can’t be all early votes, unless it’s 45% of all precincts early votes only.
I am actually VERY impressed with 30% for Newt right now.
What’s Mitt got to run on if not negative campagining against Newt? (Which he wouldn’t dare do against Zero)
Offshore bank accounts?
I went to 3 polling places this afternoon. I was alone in each place in Tally. Not nary a Republican voter. Shit fire!!!
Santorum wants to be Romney’s running mate, and I think he probably will be. He’s very ambitious but has never had either the money or the charm to make it big, and he lost his last election by 700,000 votes. But he’d be fine as Romney’s running mate, would get the home-schooling crowd and a lot of little old ladies, and really won’t have to do much during the campaign.
If it comes down to Romney and Obama, there’s no way Romney will win and I doubt that going to campaign events in nearly empty venues is going to be very stressful for Santorum.
That 41% is most likely the early vote totals.
An exit poller approaches me and they'd get a nice polite 'we vote via secret ballot in this country (for the moment) so GFY'.
I wanna see the official count before throwing in the FL towel, thank you very much.
(cincinnati .. not venting at you ;-)
Rush is an entertainer. We thought he was something else, and the mistake was ours.
They have been drooling, just waiting for the idiot GOP to nominate this loser.
I pray they are prepared for the WRONG candidate!
Hear me, GOP/RNC/RNSC. I will never vote for Romney. NEVER.
