GO NEWT!
“Now that the primary is over, it will be a lot easier for Santorum voters to get behind Romney in the general election than it would have been for Palin given her built in fan base.”
How is that possible? It is a MORTAL SIN on your soul to
vote for a pro-abortion candidate.
Very true.
Really? I disagree totally. Rick did a solid job challenging Milt, but you know what? We will never know who's right. Only one of these two stood up and took Romney on.
He will be on Mitt's team to clear up his campaign debt
and to have his clients from KStreet. He couldn’t even fight in PA. Wake up people, he helped Mitt. He may endorse him so be prepared.
The RNME was behind the attacks and THEY LOVE ROMNEY FOR IT.
FLASHBACK:
The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided
to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.
Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off .hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
I disagree.
I reluctantly voted for McCain/Palin in 2008.
Soon after, Palin resigned as Governor.
Then she put on a three year political tease - “Maybe I'll run, maybe I won't.”
I saw almost no improvement in Palin’s national leadership skills during that period.
I think Santorum is clearly a better candidate than Palin.
He gave Romney a much tougher fight than Palin would have.
Palin is STILL my candidate.
I’ll be taking a pen with me to vote.
Anyway, all this armchair quarterbacking does no good because Palin did not enter the race. So I am going to take the dog for a walk and listen to my iPod before I go to work.
Four more years of Obama? Thats what you get even if Mitt Romney is elected president.
They way I see it, its better to have Obama, and at least you have the real national socialist, liberal fascist target. Romney is just a foil for the liberal fascist movement of Obama.
The GOP had the opportunity to invite a real adversary to Obama's nationalist socialism. Instead the RINO GOPers stuck their heads in the sand, and decided to promote the myth that Obama is not UnAmerica, and NOT unqualified pursuant to Article II of the consitution , and NOT a liberal fascist. Doom on them.
The GOP is now sounding its own death nell as a party.Many conservatives will vote for Obama just out of spite, and the GOP deserves it for what they have done.Welcome to the Nationalist Socialist Republic of the United States of America as it morphs into a dictatorship.
Thank you Rick Santorum, and thank you Newt Gingrich for trying.Watch the migration of the wealthy and their capital off shore.Watch our nation turn into something like Zimbabwe, under the tender mercies of the US version of Robert Mugabe.
Actually Romney’s rivals were NEWT and Santorum. Palin decided not to run. Maybe she understood that this was Romney’s turn. Nobody knows how well she would have done.
People though Perry would do well, but he didn’t.
Huh? Isn’t she known as the “quitter”? Now Santorum is one too.
GO NEWT !
"That boy is our last hope."
"No. There is another."
Romney is disgusting.
But conservatives did not have a solid, viable alternative.
Those are sad facts.
We can whine all we want, but the real problem is locating, motivating, supporting and working for a nominatable conservative.
Sadly, it appears “none of the above” were sufficiently strong conservatives to beat the Socialist Romney.
Rats.
Well, there are things to do. Go support conservatives where you can find them.
Let Romney rot as a warning.
Until we stop supporting Socialists who happen to have an (R) after their name, we’ll get more of the same.
I like Sarah Palin, but she gets much more praise here than she deserves. She’s been compared to a variety of people here from Reagan to Washington, from Esther to Joan of Arc. A few freepers have posted lists of Palin comparisons more ridiculous than even those. So, comparing her favorably to someone who actually ran is irritating.
With that said, Palin would have been a stronger candidate than Santorum. Palin does a better job rallying the base than Santorum, and her weakness of having a low electability is something that Santorum shares with her. Ultimately, I believe, like Santorum, she would have lost to Romney, because voters would be too afraid of her losing to Obama, whether those fears would be justifiable or not.
If Romney should be thankful for anything, it should be how Perry went down in flames. He’s a fine conservative who has a resume befitting a president, and he would not spark fears of unelectability in spite of the previous governor of Texas.
Ifa’s, coulda’s and woulda’s......
Some get in the ring and fight while others stay outside and postulate...
