WRONG!! This was a slam dunk easiest election - there was ONLY TWO candidate with credentials to be president to even consider and Perry dropped out! No Conservative wanted mitt. NEWT was the clear choice. EASY, VERY EASY! And another slam dunk is he is the ONLY ONE who could beat Obama.
Every other year we compared all the candidates on each subject weakness/strength. And every other year - we didn't have a LIBERAL who HAD to stack the debates for his needed protection. Mitt has been working on this for before '08!
Conservatives WILL get someone to run that they can vote for - so take your hopes off of Christians, Conservatives and Patriots to vote for your pro homo baby killing socialistic style healthcare candidate. It's not going to happen - you need liberal votes and you are on the WRONG site for that. This is not your audience so get lost.
I actually agree with you about Newt...I voted for him and helped give him one of two states he carried!
It doesn't matter one bit though....he couldn't get enough others to vote for him. Perry? He was my first pick! But he dropped...that why I voted for Gingrich. BTW, there was an entire chorus of "conservative" Freepers that did everything in their power to force him out. Gardasil, illegal lover, Trans Texas Corridor, blah, blah, blah.
None of that matters now. Its done...Romney won. We are stuck with him.
It is him or Obama! There is no "do over", no mulligan.
Face the fact. Try reality for a change. This is politics. If Mitt doesn't deliver, try to unseat him in 2016...but for our nation's sake, GET RID OF OBAMA!
