Republicans Struggling to Praise Mitt Romney
Atlantic.com ^ | March 30, 2012 | Molly Ball

"The GOP is falling in line behind the all-but-inevitable nominee, but they're doing it with gritted teeth and a sense of obligation. Coming up with nice things to say about Mitt Romney is hard, even for his supporters.

As Romney enters what seems to be the home stretch of the primary campaign, the Republican establishment is rallying around him. But the scene is less rah-rah than obligatory, with heavy sighs all around.........."

It’s got to be very hard to praise Obambi-lite. This Romnesy is a died-in-the-wool democrat through and through. I am embarrassed for our party to be elevating this democrat to the top of our party.

I think everybody is just a bit exhausted over this Primary season, and the way it has unfolded.

Most are just relieved it will soon be over and we can get on with the task of beating Obama, which should have been our main concern all along. This infighting has injured us at entirely new levels.

What’s to praise about a lying left-wing, Progressive Liberal?

Exactly.
And it is NOT too early.......it hasn't been a tough primary....and there's still 5 months to go!
The GOP is ruining itself by getting behind RINO Romney. But at least we'll have 4 more years of building it up and washing the RINO's out.
Romney has Zero chance at winning in November. I mean who's going to vote for that liberal clown? Not I.

Betty, Veronica, Reggie and I were just discussing Romney-Os when Moose put a real poser to us that maybe you can answer.
Archie

Are Romney-Os made from real ingredients?

EXACTLY. A LIBERAL Candidate - the worst of the worst is their choice to go against the worst of the worst. DELIBERATELY!

This goes beyond the years of holding our noses, it's a NEW LOW level that I will NOT participate in.

I have heard several times that after someone endorses romney, their campaign get a donation from him. What do I find out if that is true? Rubio probably won’t get one since he’ll probably be vp.
