Oh come on, you deliberately misrepresented what I said and you claimed something totally wrong. This is not the first time you have done it and i have pointed it out before. If this is your debating tactic, well then stop responding to my posts.
Have the decency to admit that you are making things on your own.
However if you find comfort in the support of the masses who have tended to select RINOs, go for it, it is a fitting home for Mitt supporters...
I hope we will bring them better than that, and will continue to try and help them see a real conservative in the race.
No need to get frustrated.
“I hope we will bring them better than that, and will continue to try and help them see a real conservative in the race.”
...and who would that be???
Hope you don't mean that. I voted for Ross Perot in 92 and look what I caused. I'll vote for any republican before allowing Satan to move into the White House again.
So... you support Hillary... I’m sure she’s a whole lot closer to your views, isn’t she? Jeez... Good riddance to folks like you
RINO ROmney has a whole lot in common with Hitlary. Just look at his record in Mass.
You are DISGUSTING!
Thompson and Hunter seem to be popular.
Among those who know conservitism...
In other words, despite the available evidence, you believe he is a conservative.
I do not.
Those who want to destroy the GOP should support Mitt Romney.
Romney pledged to build the Massachusetts Republican Party, but in fact he did almost nothing. During his tenure there were two elections for the entire Legislature (2004 and 2006). In each election the Republicans lost seats. Republicans now hold the fewest seats in the Legislature since the Civil War.
During the four years of Romney’s tenure, the number of registered Republicans in Massachusetts fell by 31,000. During that same period, the Massachusetts Democratic Party gained 30,000.

In the 2006 elections, most offices were not even challenged by Republican candidates. In the November general election for the six statewide Massachusetts constitutional offices there were more Green-Rainbow Party candidates on the ballot than Republicans!
The party’s slide has been so precipitous that Republicans yesterday did not contest 130 of 200 legislative seats, fielded a challenger in only three of 10 congressional districts, and put up fewer candidates for statewide office (three) than the Green-Rainbow Party (four).

In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign. He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,” said [Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party].
- Boston Globe, 11/8/2006
“Romney arrived on the scene with great promise, but is leaving the Republican Party here in shambles. Not only are the Republicans yielding the governor’s office for the first time in 16 years, but registered Republicans have fallen by 31,000 since Romney took office, and their legislative presence is at historic lows. But it worked out fine for him: He is now chasing the prize he really covets, the presidency.”
- Boston Globe 11/8/2006
“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday. The cause of death: failed leadership. The party is survived by a few leftover legislators and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists who have been ignored for years. Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow. In lieu of flowers, send messages to New Hampshire Republican voters warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”

Mr. Romney is a pro-illegal gun-grabber. I won’t vote for him in the primaries.
The wording is clear and its meaning is not ambiguous, so need to offer lame excuses.
Thompson? You mean the guy who worked so hard against tort reform and should be a sponsor on Campain Finance Reform, or as it should be called McCain-Feingold-Thompson? That guy?
Hunter? Yeah, a fine conservative, but he’s got about as much chance of being elected as Kucinich.
Heh. Mitt Romney expecting us to believe he’ll appoint conservative judges based on his horrid record is what is disgusting.
Reliable conservative? Perhaps you can show how he was a reliable conservative throughout his last government job - being the Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachussetts?
The people saying they will never vote for Romney will nevertheless be going to the polls in November of 2008.
They will be going there because no one ever votes FOR anyone. One votes AGAINST people. Always. No exceptions.
You will vote against Hillary by punching a chad in Romney’s row.
Maybe, but does that make you feel good as a conservative?
