Romney Wins Overwhelming Victory In Nevada Caucuses ["Few Opportunities" For Rivals To Catch Up?]

Washington Post ^ | February 04, 2012 | Dan Balz

[Carry me back]

26% of these voters are mormon or cult members. So they will vote for the other loon in the room. Not a big surprise.

[Carry me back]

Yep in the real states that are worth winning. Newt has one and Romney has one. Romney looks very weak right now. I think Newt could easily end up winning.

[Bronzy]

Just found the vote counts. Romney did not get 50% : Mitt Romney 48% 11,822 11 ★ Newt Gingrich 23% 5,623 2 Ron Paul 19% 4,619 2 Rick Santorum 11% 2,749 0

More importantly, you’ll note that of 55,000 people in Carson County, only 1,500 turned out at the caucus?

When the party tells you that it will be a 3-hour meeting, and to arrive early, who wants to waste a Saturday?

We need a primary, not a caucus.

Welcome to another four years of terror!!!



Obama’s Secret Plan To Destroy The Second Amendment By 2016

If the elite rinos, beltway pundits and faux conservative mediots enable Romney to be our candidate, "What will our progressive priest/pastors/reverends/rabbis will be saying and doing when Mitt is the candidate?"

One of advantage of being my wife's and my age with friends and relatives across the 57 states can often be an early warning system. What I'm posting below is apparently happening now and across America in so called private discussions from the clergy to their republican members. That audience will be expanded if Mitt becomes our candidate.

If Romney becomes the Republican candidate, our progressive priests/pastors/reverends/rabbis will probably be saying 24/7 Mormonism is a cult not a religion in a non stop manner.

We will hear their own personal observations that Mormonism is not a religion.

In some areas, they are not waiting as they feel that Newt is out of the running.

One conservative female family member in the midwest listened to this cult clap for about 5 minutes from her pastor. Finally, she interupted him and said, "That is another reason we will be nominating Newt!"

She said her pastor about had a Newt induced stroke when she said go Newt!

Have any other Freepers heard this cult stuff coming from a clergy member?

[Norman Bates]

This is the second time I’ve seen this argument. Unless the candidates between the two caucuses are the same, it’s like comparing apples and oranges. There’s a reason the turnout is lower.

"Rick Santorum went for the jugular in Thursday night's Republican presidential debate, exposing Mitt Romney's weak and contradictory defense of his Massachusetts health-reform law. Mr. Santorum attacked Mr. Romney's claim that the individual mandate affects only 'the 8% of people who didn't have insurance.'

There's so much that is wrong with Romneycare and Obamacare.

Attacking Romney on the individual mandate is the least of it. The individual mandate was first proposed by some conservatives in the 90's to compensate for government mandated health treatment for people who were uninsured.

Santorum didn't go for the jugular. A capillary is more like it.

And there's a reason why he did that.

[teenyelliott]

Do any of you really still believe that you have a say in who the GOP nominee will be?

[Yosemitest]

"Guess they can fine me and take my property if I don’t pay"

Bingo! You just hit the nail on the head.
That's exactly what they're after.

[Yosemitest]

You really should get back on your meds.

[Yosemitest]

Thank you for bring up that issue.
We're in real trouble here, and most people aren't paying attention, like we are.
God has a reason for allowing us to punish ourselves and we really do need to get back to His wisdom, located in The Bible.

[FreeReign]

Thanks for posting that. Not sure where they get this healthcare is guaranteed by the government thing. Promoting the General Welfare is a concept in the preamble, not an article of the Constitution.

You seem to be confused and Rush and Santorum seem to want to perpetuate that confusion.

Santorum's comments had nothing to do with guaranteed mandated healthcare treatment. Instead Santorum was talking about mandated health insurance.

Do you understand the difference?

Santorum and all the rest of our candidates are for government mandated healthcare treatment.

In fact Santorum contributed to it by voting for government mandated prescription drugs.

Okay...’few opportunities to catch up’...Per the above, Romney got 10 delegates with the rest of the candidates getting altogether 9 delegates. That’s not exactly a huge lead in delegates.

[jersey117]

Why would people choose a Romney over Obama when the differences are very minor?

This election is all about the economy and jobs. Why would people choose obama over anyone?

[jersey117]

Which is why Perry should have stayed in.

[jveritas]

Are you talking about Limbaugh? Because you just exactly described him...

[magritte]

Perry? You mean the REAL conservative guy that never could get any traction among “conservatives”? The one with the conservative track record and experience?

Yep. He should have stuck around. Would be nice to have a conservative choice against Romney.

[ducttape45]

I agree. That Romney would Nevada was a given given his cultist buddies reside in that state. Now the real primaries will start to take place and we’ll see how everything shapes up.

[Just mythoughts]

OK it did take some of US a while to figure out that Rush was right .... as he always says “FOLLOW the money”. Well Rush has also stated that he only wants to be around the people that are the ‘best’ at what they do.... Hmmmmm the ‘devil’ is said to be the best at what he does.

So please forgive me that I was so slow in seeing through the veil of deception of Rush and Colt-her... The obsession of the pursuit of money does seem to liberalize the brain. Both Rush and Colt-her have joined up with the GOP-Proud establishment as if their claimed conservative credentials would make the ‘Proud’ less exotic...
