What’s going on is the same since Iowa. Romney is trying to buy the election. He’s up on every station of any consequence in FL multiple times. It’s disgusting.

Yeah, not going to George Soros for election financing is really, really disgusting.

If it were possible to buy an election Ross Perot, George Soros and Michael Bloomberg would have been POTUS by now.

George W. Bush spent more than Romney has so far to get the nomination in 2000 and spent $360 million in 2004 for re-election.

You statement is silly, wrong and childish.

Romney is trying to buy the election.

What does that statement mean, exactly? I've heard a few FReepers toss it out there like everyone knows, but when you really stop and think about it, it just doesn't make sense.

How does one "buy" an election? Are you implying some kind of bribery? Are you criticizing him for actually campaigning?

Campaigning is expensive, especially at the national level. Should he try to do that without spending money? Is it somehow immoral for him to spend his own money to campaign, and the money donated to his campaign to actually campaign???

What exactly is the problem here?

If Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson would have had tens of millions of their own money to spend on their campaign, I would have thought it was fantastic that they were flooding the airwaves with their message.

And I say... SO WHAT if he does! He wants it bad enough...let him spend all the money he wants! IMHO actually buying the election would be like stealing it. He’s not stealing anything. He’s out there in front, spending his own money...voters still have the right/option to either vote for him or somebody else. Just because he’s spending his own money for t.v. ad time, or print media promotions, people still have the option of making up their own minds.

It’s his money. He earned it, and if this is how he chooses to spend it, so be it.

Romney is the best candidate available for beating the democRATS. McCain is the worst:

McCain’s the candidate of amnesty for illegal aliens.

McCain supports embryonic stem-cell research.

McCain has said “I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade”.

McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts, and refuses to sign the “No New Taxes” pledge.

McCain supports legislation that would increase taxes on energy.

McCain was the ring-leader of the Senate “Gang of 14”, which kept the then Senate Republican leadership from ending the ability of Democrats to filibuster Bush’s judicial nominees.

McCain supports legislation to grant due-process rights to terrorists.

McCain sponsored the legislation which restricts free-speech rights of those involved in the political process, (the McCain/Feingold bill)

McCain is the guy who called evangelical-conservatives an “evil influence” on the Republican Party.

McCain was a member of the Keating 5 that caused a bipartisan scandal during the S&L meltdown.

McCain had a recall election ran against him by the conservatives in Arizona. Unfortunately it failed.

McCain blocked the investigation into whether Viet Nam and the Soviets were still holding over 600 of our missing POWs in 1990. (This is why many vets that know the issues have no use for John McCain).

It’s not disgusting for conservatives who want to defeat McCain.
