“I dare say, that if one’s principles were aligned with Myth Romney’s, they wouldn’t find much happiness on Freerepublic.”

Well, not on this nasty, vile thread (sounds kinda like McCains personality). But I find alot of happiness on Free Republic. You should read the live debate thread from last night - lot’s of good natured, happy folks.

Actually, their endorsement is looking pretty good right now. the NRTL threw their endorsement away on Thompson because he was “the most electable”, and he couldn’t even take 2nd place in either of the states he staked his campaign on.

Others endorsed other candidates who never made it anywhere. But Romney could still win the nomination, and be a solid conservative spokesperson who will win election and guide our country in a conservative direction.

Put away the fear. Restore your faith, if not in a person, in the large number of people who are trustworthy and have been long advocates for our cause who have spoken personally with Romney, have thought long and hard, and decided that Romney CAN be trusted.

Or, you could believe a few Freeper posters who have no such direct knowledge. At this point, that’s what it comes down to, who do you trust.

Do you trust McCain to NOT do what he promises, or Romney to do what he promises.

Do you trust Leiberman and the New York Times? OR do you trust Mark Levin, and Jim DeMint?

I spoken to people I trust, who have had direct contact with Romney, and they tell me he is solidly on our side. Why should I trust some freeper I don’t know, over the direct personal testimony of someone I know and trust?

I don't always agree with Mark, Rush, Shawn or Coulter on only a couple issues, mostly social, but we are in total conservative agreement on the big issues and the future of the movement.

Today I received the usual national Republican poll that the NRCC sends out as a disguised fund raiser every year. Over the past two weeks,a flood of endorsements for McCain have come from the people who run these organizations and the GOP. I threw the poll and the request for money in the trash unopened. I will do so in perpetuity until the GOP and the NRCC once again take my views seriously and by this flood of GOP insiders endorsing McCain, I don't believe they are. I am convinced that they are cutting off the Conservative segment of the party in order to win a shallow victory with a bad candidate.

I would much prefer that if the country is to be trashed by a bad republican, that it happen with a democrat in charge, and not us.

I can only ope that Romney can counter McCain's lies and distortions of the truth, and wrest the nomination from him,but if that is not in the cards, I promise you that I will act on my views, and will not vote for the nominee.

This pledge given on this day will be acted on when the time comes.

That article speaks to a man who follows the law. Sorry, there’s a lot of “conservatives” who think the law should be ignored when we disagree with it. But that’s not how it works.

Really? You got a million? Somehow I don’t quite believe it. Plus the you lose, pay up part - you do know that February 5th hasn’t happened yet - don’t you?

It would be nice to know if that’s true. All we know now is that he doesn’t appeal to moderates and liberals as much as McCain does. We DON’T know if he would appeal to them more than Hillary or Obama.

BTW, have you seen any exit polls which indicate where the black vote is going? I bet Romney is doing well with them, but I haven’t seen that breakdown. They did show that hispanics really went for McCain.

Romney is a decent man who has lived an exemplary life. He is no sleaze. I didn’t support him at first because of some of his past positions, but I do now. He has come around. Yet, some here persist in trying to demonize him.

Well stated, deserves repeating. Having observed Mitt and McCain in the debates, it is obvious that Mitt has the temperament and integrity to be a good President. McCain comes across as a petty, vengeful, envious, bitter old man.

I think that conservatives ARE NOT voting for McCain. It's the independents (who for the most part are liberal)the senior citizens (go figure), and the immigrants who want open borders, who are giving McCain the slight, and I mean very slight edge.

Good point. Two-thirds of Republican primary voters are NOT voting for him. It's the MSM, RINOS and party-before-country folks who are pushing McCain on us.

I expect the “destroy the country to teach a lesson” crowd will now suggest that all these great people were bought off, because no reputation is too great for these narrow-minded people to trash in defense of their indefensible position

The "scorched earth" tactics of the Romney attackers is counterproductive, and will result in The Beast gaining office. She will raise taxes by record amounts, and establish socialist programs that will be irreversible.

Not even Reagan could haul in Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare spending. To think a saviour in 2012 will do so is absurd.

Its easy to see how you would be a Romney supporter if you are dumb enough to bet that something isn’t LIKELY!

The problem with McCain is that his guiding “principle” is that he wants people to love him. So he does what will get the most people to love him. And when that makes some people NOT love him, rather than accepting that he can’t be loved by everybody, he lashes out, because by blaming those people for NOT loving him, he can say it’s not HIS fault they don’t love him, they are just evil people.

Just like when he fell into the Keating-5 scandal, his response was to tell the nation that EVERY politician was corrupt and untrustworthy, but that HE HAd seen the light and would pass laws to protect us from the whole lot of untrustworthy evil political class.

In other words, he personally broke the law, but rather than acknowledge he had a personal flaw, he told the world that EVERYBODY was just as bad as him, only worse because they wouldn’t admit it.
