Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has now secured at least 88 of the 155 delegates at stake in the Texas Primary, bringing his secured delegate total to 1174, 30 more than necessary to win the majority of the delegated needed for the GOP nomination.

With 4% of Texas precincts now reporting, Romney has consistently maintained or increased a 60 point lead over his nearest competitor, Congressman Ron Paul.

In the contested race for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate, David Dewhurst is holding a 48% to 31% lead over his nearest rival Ted Cruz in a nine person contest.

IM going to try to make this simple. Try... Dont know if Ill succeed...

Socialism: Tyranny of statists. Death of individual freedom. Very bad thing.

DEMOCRAT PARTY: Political party that is filled with and lead by idiots who are driven by the socialist ideology. An apparatus of the socialist ideology. We hate the democrat party because it is advancing the socialist ideology.

OBAMA: A member of the democrat party. Useful idiot of the socialist ideology. We hate him because hes a socialist.

REPUBLICAN PARTY: A political party that used to be the ONLY legitimate opposition to socialism. However, over the years it has become infested with “liberal republicans” (socialists) to the point that it is now on the verge of becoming another apparatus of the socialist ideology.

ROMNEY: A “liberal republican” (socialist). Useful idiot of the socialist ideology. We hate him because he is a socialist. If the republican party nominates him, the republican party will cease to be whatever minimal opposition it now is to the advancement of socialism in this country.

TYPICAL RUN OF THE MILL IDIOT REPUBLICAN VOTER: “Democrats bad! anything better than democrats!” Completely ignores or is IGNORANT to WHY democrats are bad. Also... “Romney is better than obama any day!” completely ignoring or ignorant to the fact that both romney and obama are faithful to the same ideology (socialism).

DANGER: Obama (socialist) gets reelected as a democrat. Continues to try and advance his socialist agenda. The republican party continues to offer meager opposition to his socialist agenda.

F’ING DISASTER: Romney (socialist) gets elected as a republican. Is able to advance his socialist agenda without meaningful opposition. “But” you say “What about the conservatives in congress holding his feet to the fire” First of all there are not enough true conservatives in congress to make a difference. Second, the democrat socialists will recognize that the socialist agenda is being advanced and will support Romneys agenda, filling in the missing votes.

If you leave out the democrat -vs- republican dogma and concentrate on socialism -vs- freedom. You will be able to see that it is FAR better to preserve the ONE LEGITIMATE opposition to socialism in this country. Thanks to the socialists in the republican party, the democrat socialists who crossed over to vote for romney in the primaries and idiot republican voters who see only DEM -vs- GOP, we are in danger of losing that last opposition. THAT is UNACCEPTABLE!! So IF, the GOP doesnt WISE the F up and dump romney at the convention, it will be in the best interest of EVERY conservative to make sure that we preserve the republican party as the opposition to socialism by making sure romney (socialist) never gets elected. Plus the proper blame for this WILL be placed on the “progressive” wing of the GOP.

Geez....hope you didn’t choke. Friend, you have your view, I have my view. By the way....it’s called freedom. Here’s mine: ABO, Anybody But Obama!!! No need to get sick, most people have different opinions!!! Tunnel Vision at work!!!

[myself6]

I joined FR 8 years before you did and Im telling folks to NOT vote for the socialist if the GOP actually nominates him at the convention.

Now what? F’er

[Tennessee Nana]

So why dont you let windflier have his to vote the way he wants to ???

If you value “freedom” why isnt it for everyone ???

What is your personal definition of “freedom” ???

If you vote for ABO youre demonstrating “freedom” ???

If you dont then youre ...what ???

[myself6]

Your tunnel vision you mean...

DNC -vs- GOP is ALL you see... EPIC FAILURE on your part....

The real battle is Socialism -vs- Freedom. And YOUR tunnel vision is going to allow you to not only vote for a socialist but also allow the ONLY major party that is at least meager opposition to socialism in this country become socialist as well.

You people are just F’ing BRILLIANT!!!

Everyone knows that OBAMA is the reason the democrat party is awful! Not because its filled with F’ing SOCIALISTS of which he is but ONE of... Oh, and romney is as well, and he is on the cusp of being nominated as the GOPs candidate!.. WOW... Just F’ing WOW!!!

Socialism CANT lose this election! Well, Unless we deny it the republican party that is... But my guess is that you idiots are too infected by tunnel vision to see that.

Mr. Romney, Don’t take Texas for granted, now or in the future!

mitt truly cares what Conservatives think or wish.

*cough*

“The real battle is Socialism -vs- Freedom.”

I see it as Communism verses Capitalism.

Freedom? What freedom? We are all slaves. Slaves to the multiple tax enforcement agencies,(city-county-state-federal.) Our property is taxed. Our income is taxed. Our utilities are taxed. Then, when we spend earned money, which has already been income taxed, we pay another tax, the sales tax, which may include other taxes, like excise taxes,sin taxes, highway taxes, luxury taxes...etc

Finally, when we die, our estate is taxed. Then, what remains after the estate taxes are paid, may be passed to our heirs. Then, our heirs will be further taxed on their inheritance.

Best banner ever! (even though A&M is in it...)

[myself6]

No offense. I just cant stand the term capitalism...

Capitalism was a concept invented by Marx and Co as a boogieman. I prefer to not take the labels the enemy puts upon me.

The founders of this country never mention capitalism as one of their guiding principles, philosophies or ideologies.

All im interested in individual freedom and liberty from the state and collective. The things that flow from that are many, but one happens to also be free commerce.

Did I miss the convention and the floor vote?

Sure, I knew Lugar was defeated. He was, and still is, a RINO, though. He was not the point of my post, however, just an example of an “entitled” RINO.

Your Reply #34 implied that the presence of RINOs such as Lugar demonstrates that the GOP is no different from the "Rat Party and that we conservatives must therefore form a third party.

In my reply to you, I imply that the fact that Lugar has been retired is evidence that the GOP can be, and is being reformed into a more conservative party.

The point of your post was to call for a conservative third party. Lugar's forced retirement is very much relevant to your point.

Good luck trying to debate the ABR crowd. They just don’t want to hear that either the kenyan or Romney will be POTUS next year. We need to make a choice and vote based on that fact alone. Everything else is a distraction at this point.

This is a time for choosing and making no choice is a vote for the marxist kenyan usurper currently sitting in the WH.

[JRandomFreeper]

Everything else is a distraction at this point.

Like my principles that won't let me vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, big government liberal?

I won't be voting for Obama or Romney.

Dewhurst will NOT win the runoff, because the turnout in those things is mini-miniscule and the tea party core will turn out in droves, but nobody else will. You’ll see, it’ll be Cruz winning in November against no real opposition.

While I am no fan of Romney and certainly don't intend to vote for him (primary or otherwise), I must say this....

In comparison Romney vs. Obama, while they may read from the same "Socialist" playbook, and have set the same policies, I often wonder if Romney wouldn't be better, only because:

A) Romney was not raised by Marxist/Socialist radicals who HATE America and are intent on destroying the "Western Way of Life".

B) Romney was not raised in other countries, thereby learning and being indoctrinated that Free Markets and Capitalism is BAD BAD BAD

C) Romney did not and does not surround himself with Socialist, anti-America, anti-capitalist RADICALS, nor does he praise those who are and hold them up to a high esteem

D) Romney was not taught (nor doe I believe he believes in) Black Liberation Theology, Anti-Colonialism and the Muslim religion.

5) Romney has not partnered with or appointed anyone Muslim or aligned with Sharia Laws (that I know of)

6) Romney doesn't HATE Israel and he recognizes them appropriately, as our ally.

I just see Obama's "ideologies" more than just SOCIALIST. He's PURE evil! Everything about him and his beliefs, is about tearing down America, destroying Freedom (and US), and instilling Marxist/Communist values. I just don't see that same goal with Romney. At the least, it's at a much slower pace. Not saying Romney isn't the lesser of the evils here, as he is, but maybe with him at the helm, it'll slow things down enough, that we won't be TOTALLY destroyed?

All I know, is it's in Gods hands. HIS will be done. And only HE knows the outcome of the 2012 election and what will come of who wins, etc. God willing this country can (and will) be saved and the traitors in our government are served proper justice.....SOON!

A liberal politician out of leftist Massachusetts disrespects Texans for failing to thank them for putting him over the top?

Ya can't make this stuff up.
