If our country is facing an enemy threat directly at our borders, every able bodied person should join in the fight to save our country. Those who choose to stay home because the General leading the effort is not the most desired, the best or the most capable, deserve to face the tyranny that awaits them with a potential defeat.

Romney did the following:

1. Implemented/created Gay Marriage in Massachusetts
2. Supported and forced Gay Adoptionin Massachusetts
3. Supported Abortion wholeheartedly.
4. Raised Taxes/Fees over 300% while Governor of Massachusetts
5. Implemented a State-Level Carbon Cap-and-Trade system in Massachusetts
6. Supported Global Warming
7. Supported the Brady Bill
8. Implemented a state level "Assault" Weapons Ban after the Federal AWB was allowed to expire.
9. Supported TARP
10. Supported Amnesty for Illegal Aliens (Citizenship for those already here)
11. Supported McCain-Kennedy (Amnesty)
12. Implemented Socialized Medicine (RomneyCare) in Massachusetts that included an Individual Mandate and $50 Abortions
13. Nominated 27 out 36 hard-left, Liberal Progressive Democrats to judgeships.

With a record like that, Romney is also a direct threat to our individual freedoms and a direct threat to the continued existence of the GOP

He is also an "enemy threat directly at our borders, every able bodied person should join in the fight to save our country"

It is just a matter of degrees. Same poison, different level of Potency

and repetitive and boring, in this case.

Then don't read it. No-one is forcing you to read it.

Now, the point of this isn’t to say that what Mitt did at Bain Capital was dishonorable. It certainly wasn’t. To the contrary, as a conservative, I find his work in the private sector to be just about the only thing he has going for him. But, people should realize that in a general election, Mitt’s time at Bain Capital will probably end up being somewhere between a small asset and a large liability, depending on which side does a better job of defining it.

OK, but if that kind of thing matters the Democrats will always win, anyway. Unless the Republican candidate grew up in public housing and never held a real job outside academia, he/she is going to be attacked as an elitist capitalist. The answer is to accept it as a badge of honor, pointedly tell the Democrat that "all the Communists call me that", and get on with campaigning.

That fight is over! We have a bigger issue to contend with than Romney. We have an actual Socialist with his entire army trying to destroy this country. I know your motives are sincere as a conservative, like mine, but you are being blinded by your hatred for what Romney has done OVER what OBAMA has done, IS DOING, and WILL CONTINUE TO DO!

Hoping someone steps forward or there becomes a consensus pro-life conservative (if there is such a thing) write-in candidate.

But I assure you it will not be the abortionist/homosexualist/liberal/progressive/statist Mitt Romney.

Romney is your candidate/nominee, not mine.

Furthermore, the fight is never over against left-wing, Progressive Liberals like Romney or Crypto-Communists like Obama.

have fun preaching to an empty choir. In case you haven’t noticed there is barely anyone here to read your OCD threads. They have left, aren’t posting or are posting elsewhere. I doubt even the Obots are interested. They are busy defending o bama on really active sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

LOL! Hey, SoCon! The MittWits are certainly projecting, aren't they?

My goodness, the desperation among the MittWits and the paid RomneyBots is palpable; I guess it's dawning on them that their boy is a loser par excellence...

So...I’m a mittwitt and a paid Romneybot. Is it any wonder members of FR are leaving in droves? Hey pal, KMA! Keep it up and eventually you will have only yourself to talk to.

I can see greener pastures......

Joe isn’t a mittwit and you are doing more harm than good. The elites are very happy that we are shooting at one another instead of them. Meanwhile they tighten our yokes.

I know many of us did not want Romney, but that fight - unfortunately - is over. You keep fighting the primaries all the way to November, and you’ll be doing the Socialist’s work. Simple as that.

1) People just don’t like Mitt: The entire GOP primary process so far has consisted of Republican voters desperately trying to find an alternative to Mitt Romney. Doesn’t it say something that GOP primary voters have, at one time or another, preferred Donald Trump, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, and now even Ron Paul (In Iowa) to Mitt Romney?

Amazing that this article doesn't even mention the winner of eleven states in this cycle, Rick Santorum.

But then, the ABOs need socons a lot more than the socons need ABOs.

Well said DJ, right on the money.

Sorry LibFreeUSA, Romney's not my candidate and never will be.

And the only ones doing the Socialist's work on our side has been and will be the GOP-E, and people like Romney who want to fully dimish the influence of the Tea-Party in the GOP and move the party to the left.

The problem DJ is that Romney isn't one of us.

And you are right, the elites are happy that conservatives are shooting at one another over a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal.

If they can marginalize conservatives and marginalize the Tea-Party, which is their purpose and Mitt Romney's purpose, they can move our party to the Left and consolidate their power.

Ok, so you would rather see Obama win just because your candidate is not the nominee? It’s great that you have such great principles, but we would not have defeated the NAZIs in WWII if we hadn’t allied ourselves with that killer, Stalin.

I don’t quite understand the position of declaring to stand on principles and at the same time not supporting the effort to defeat the socialists in November, all the while the country is going down the tubes precisely because they are in control of the White House.

You know, we're not freaking stupid, we get it. You seem to like to rub it in our faces and shove it down our throats and relish in it.

You attack anyone who is against obama as a mittbot, you tell FReepers who want obama out at all costs Romney is "their progressive boy"

You remind me of obama when he gets out on the tube making jokes about Hockey Moms and Pit Bulls, he likes to rub it our faces too, very Alinsky like and just like you as well.

As far as I'm concerned, you are an obot troll taking advantage of Jim's position to alienate lurkers here who might be on the fence.

JMO, it fits the Axlerod MO, and I'm sticking to it.

Maybe you should re examine your style, it is insulting, condescending, in short it sucks.
