“Which history says you won’t have after 2014. The opposing party to the president usually wins seats in the mid-terms. Romney has proven as governor that he will bend over for a liberal legislature, if not try to “out-liberal” them if he thinks that’s where the wind is blowing. This is why we’re probably better off with him losing now. Then we can maintain gridlock against Obama, win more seats in 2014, and get a better nominee in 2016. If we get Romney now, chances are Dems will win seats in 2014 and then win back the presidency in 2016, a repeat of 2006 and 2008. Then they’ll have the mandate and the majority to pass single payer health care, cap-and-trade and do everything else they want. “

The liberal media has got even more negative stuff to fling at Santorum or Gingrich. Romney is the best shot to beat Obama.

Santorum lost his last election by 18 points. Santorum cant run a focused and organized campaign against Romney. What kind of luck would he have against the Obama machine ?

Gingrich just got doubled up in Wisconsin by Ron Paul.

Like it or not Romney is the only one with a realistic shot at Obama.

Well, liberal plants are what they are and would vote Dem anyway. Crazed people are probably liberals at heart and cannot be helped.

I have been a lurker for years and have seen a very decided tilt towards the irrational in the makeup of the members here.

But when we DO “call out” the GOP, are we not essentially admitting that the liberals are right, and that Obama should be re-elected? In my view, conservative solidarity is a MUST if we are to have any hope of re-gaining the White House.

Furthermore, the leftists in this country do a fine job of “calling out” the GOP. The Marxists don’t need any help from us, but the GOP needs all the help and support it can get. That’s the only point I was trying to make.

Not necessarily. The left projects their evil actions and agendas upon the republican party. You know... we want to keep the poor down and give everything to the rich elite... but it is they that do those things... they always say that we want to starve women and children and make America drink dirty water and breathe dirty air... those are lies. When they accuse romney of being the architect of obamacare... they will be telling the truth. When they accuse Rick or Newt of wanting to wage war on women...that is a lie... when they point out that mitt has been pro choice for all of his life... until that position would preclude his running for president as a republican... they would be telling the truth. When they say that Newt is corrupt and was drummed out of Congress... they will be lying... when they point out that mitt promoted legislation to allow men to marry men and women to marry women in his state... they will be telling the truth. When they accuse Rick Santorum of being a religious zealot and wanting to crush freedoms by enforcing his religious beliefs upon America...they will be lying... when they delve into the cult that mitt belongs to... they just have to tell the truth and that is a fact.

“Furthermore, the leftists in this country do a fine job of “calling out” the GOP. The Marxists don’t need any help from us, but the GOP needs all the help and support it can get. That’s the only point I was trying to make.”

They do not act like they want our support... they disrespect us at every turn...and they treat us like they hate us... because the gop/e HATES CONSERVATIVES. The gop/e are embarrased by Social Conservatives. Ask Rush... he says so all of the time because they have told him exactly that... and they send out drones to FR to accuse us of being crazy and/or liberal operatives. They have manipulated the Elector outcome... they have left certain States as open primary states so that liberals can vote for mitt... they conspire with Secretaries of State to keep candidates off the ballot and reduce mitt's competition... mitt has bought almost every huge endorsement that he has gotten... and mitt has spent 10’s of millions in destroying the lives and reputations of the republicans that have dared to run against him. If you are looking for sympathy for the corrupt criminals in the gop, then you need to go to a republican only site. Jim Robinson has made it clear... this is NOT a republican site and if it ever becomes one through enforcement of silence against those that are only marginally better than the dims... I and my donations will leave forever. You do not crap on and attack those that you “depend upon” for their vote and support for you and your party. I do not owe the republicans anything... and they owe me for a lifetime of loyal support... monetary donations and volunteer work... but no more... that is my point!

“This stooge basically gets paid by leftist MSNBC to make Republicans look bad.”

“Pretty easy job”

Funny thing, some freepers are eager to do it for free.
If you are going to go around bad-mouthing Republicans,
why not at least get Soros money for the gig?

“If Obama wins relection there will be no country worth saving in 2016. “

That’s the one thing the “I’d rather let Obama win than a GOP ‘elite’” folks dont get.

There is a country at stake and Obama has done more to advance the left than any president in history. Stop him now and the left is done for a generation. DON stop him and USA is done ... forever.

Is the same GOP that gave us Dewey, Ford, and McCain is somehow now horribly off track for picking the flawed moderate Romney over the flawed conservatives Santorum, Gingrich, etc. ? Maybe, but you dont ‘teach’ a lesson to GOP elites by letting socialist destroy the country. You defeat them in primaries.

Worse, is the attitude that adopts the leftist blame game and blames the GOP for what’s going wrong

... as if GOP elites are the ones who just racked up $6 trillion in debt in the last 4 years, expanded the welfare state to put half of Americans o the govt teat (those were votes in Democrat Congresses and GOP voted no), are selling out to our enemies in Russia, China, Iran etc.,
put leftists on the bench to promote anti-Christian anti-family and anti-conservative rulings.
GOP didnt socialize healthcare, want the EPA to outlaw the SUV, pass Frank-Dodd, want to raise taxes and have a regulatory regime against business and rail at the 1%, etc.

Guess what, when Romney wins and rolls back most of Obama’s worst decisions ... the conservatives will have the luxury of still complaining when Romney does non-conservative things. We know he will.

But under Obama, America as we know it will be toast.
Just one point: WE ARE A SINGLE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE AWAY FROM ... ABOLISHING THE 2ND AMENDMENT, AFFIRMING SECULARISM, PROBABLY ENFORCING GAY MARRIAGE AS A “RIGHT”, AND KEEP ROE V WADE IN PLACE FOR ANOTHER GENERATION.

Is that what you want? Talk about how awesome it would be to see the GOP nominee lose, and we’ll see the era of leftism in America triumph.

” Obama is not going to play by the rules in his second term when it comes to implementing his socialist agenda.”

Exactly.

I don’t have to bad mouth anyone. They take care of that themselves. Some are just plain foolish. Some are hypersensitive to any kind of criticism, justified or not.

Sorry, the ‘you’ should have been ‘those folks’ I didnt mean to refer to you as the badmouther type.

I just find a lot of negative anti-GOP expressions on FR, they are kind of pointless, and frankly if I want to see Republicans bashed day in and day out, I can go to Kos or MSNBC!

Do what TPTB tell you to do, stooge. But don’t bitch about Romney selling America out if, by some miracle, he wins.
