"I agree, better a Dem than a RINO, we need to give the Dems the ability to really set this country into a communist life style. Better Dems appoint supreme court justices than a rino"

You just don't learn, do you? Voting for RINO's all along has gotten you a Democrat Congress, a fence-busting President caving to business interests, and a Federal Court System filled with Activist Judges allowing lotto-like lawsuits in favor of Lawyers....Yes, you sure are makin' headway voting for RINO's.

I'll pencil in a Conservative name, myself. I've had it with re-electing the RINO's, who know "Republicans" will be no better than the Democrats who just vote straight D tickets, no matter what. Almost as bad as blacks who vote Democrat, and remain on the plantation because of it.

You are right. Conservatives cannot forget about Supreme Court appointments in the next four years! Say what they will about W (and I agree there is much to lament about), he got some big things very right and Roberts and Alito (okay, with help on Miers (whew!) to Alito) on SCOTUS are a legacy that even President Reagan would have wanted. I see Mitt continuing this trend (although we need to make Republican gains in the Senate).

U didn’t ask me but I’m voting for none of these dinks in the primary and will vote for Hillary in the general.

A very mature approach.

That's one of the things about democracy, even truly stupid people are allowed to vote.

Use these to cut off your nose.

“U didn’t ask me but I’m voting for none of these dinks in the primary and will vote for Hillary in the general.”

Right ... suddenly today there seems to be a rash of conservative Freepers declaring they’re going to vote for Hillary.

I don’t think so.

You may be on to something there, I do think Romney is the Bush pick..... but I don’t think the country is ready for another Bush at this time. Hillary will use that as a campaign bumper sticker.

NYT is reporting that Thompson WON’T endorse anybody.

This too helps Mitt with any chowder-heads out there who might have listened to a pitch for Sen. Snarky from Fred.

Huckabee, who used Thompson’s exit as another opportunity to bash Fred.”

You must be kidding. Huckabee really did that???

Talk about not being the party of Reagan. Reagan was extraordinarily magnanimous in victory. In fact, he always left a spot in his org chart for his final opponent to become chairman of his campaign upon his eventual defeat.

Please provide details. But if Huckabee did that, that is more than pathetic. That would be simply outrageous.

Mitt has issued another very good statement. He is definitely a class act.

I don’t know if this is verified, but here’s what another poster posted in Rush’s thread:

Classy.
I still diagree with the Governor on a good deal of issues, but I will give him points for this statement.

Now, why would Romney ruin an otherwise brilliant campaign (that has him poised to take the lead and leave the RINOs in the dust) by selecting Jeb Bush as his VP? To win FL? He can win FL WITHOUT selecting Bush!

Oh please. Those who know him, trust him. Long-standing conservatives, Limbaugh, Coulter, Bork, Tancredo, Buckley and so on have all found Romney acceptable and trustworthy. So, too, have most of the voters in the early primary states. Romney has the most total votes cast for him and the most delegates. But you know best.
