[Onerom99]

There’s no doubt in my mind they were Mitt drones.

[txradioguy]

Just stating facts.

Not my fault you’re gonna be eating crow on this.

[22cal]

The founder of Evangelicals for Mitt was in a previous focus group of Luntz' as an undecided. Wonder why that vote went for Mitt?

And dirty tricks like 'Fred is quitting' rumors and phone calls in Iowa shows real character in the Romney campaign./sarc

You were asked -- Jim ? can you write a long commentary of each of the other candidates ( RINOS ) that you don’t like and why.

When you've finished that, please write a 30,000-word critique of CFR. When you've done that, I'll get back to you with additional requests.

Can we all just agree that John McCain just sucks? Daggone, of all the candidates, McCain is the worst. If the GOP nominates McCain, Barak Obama is the next President of the United States.

[Khepri]

You need to wait until after Super Tuesday before you through in the towel...this focus group are borderline Ron Paul types....

Let Fred go through the south, if he’s not contending then, I’ll listen to this kinda talk then.

I imagine the big money folks are doing the same, well, actually they are from what I hear...

[don-o]

For a good reason

[trisham]

Exactly right. Substance. It’s what I’m voting for.

[La Enchiladita]

I guess my insight got under your skin.

[The Pack Knight]

Make that 60 years. From what I remember, I don’t think Carter, Johnson, Kennedy, or Truman ran as particularly liberal, either.

[TAdams8591]

Have you noticed when Mitt does well and people think he's done well, "it was fixed" or "he bought the victory."

Mitt hit a home run as Frank Lutz said! McCain also did very well, as much as I hate to admit it.

Rudy seemd out of it, as if he wasn't even part of the group.

[Rome2000]

Mitt’s honesty about his change of view from pro-choice to pro-life could cause others to reflect on their view.

I guess It never occurred to you that slick only changed his position on abortion because he is running for POTUS and he will say or do anything to get simpletons to vote for him.

Baby killing is not something a righteous honest man could support in the first place, but then Mitt is not righteous and will never be POTUS anyway.

[top 2 toe red]

I guess everything evens out in the long run...’cause it looks as if those Luntz NHs love Mitt as much as you hate him.

[stocksthatgoup]

Fred is my top choice, but the momentum is not going his way. I’m just trying to be pragmatic.
Conviction /s

[mnehring]

Maybe there was a rally or something going on, that or I expect to see them so I do.

I’ll be working in Little Rock again the first week of Feb, Any LR Freepers freepmail me if y’all want to meet for drinks.

[College Repub]

Bill Clinton won twice running as a liberal/moderate. Jimmy Carter did too. I don’t understand your first question.
—
I think that Rudy and McCain can win against a democrat. Mitt MIGHT be able to come close. I don’t want McCain to be president. But I REALLY don’t want Hillary or Obama. So I’m in the Rudy camp at this point.

[2nd amendment mama]

No I can’t but at the same time, right now I can’t afford the $500 a mo. premium that insurance would cost me. The choice is - a place to live or health ins. Which would you choose? And no, I’m not for gov’t paid health ins. I’m working toward improving the situation so that I can afford something.

[mplsconservative]

Thanks for posting Hitlary’s other half. Barf!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Ah yes, for every action, there is an opposite and equal REACTION.

[taildragger]

Sorry Bud, I disagree strongly.

Mitt comes across as a polished Annuity salesman and worse one from my former state Mass.

Who is the conservative in his core that will reach out to the Dem's and Indies vs. the other way around.

All the others are the other way as well.

Sorry I'm done holding my nose.....

A Freeper noted something, His late mom noted look for the guy who is not seeking the office, but the office seeks him, that is Fred, Everyone else especially Mitt, want it so bad, it is a calling for you to serve, Not to fill your ego or what ever.
