“Levin, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter

What more will it take?”

Shouldn’t take anything more! We all knew what McCain was even before we heard Rush,Mark,Sean,or Ann voice the truth about McCain. If McCain wins the nomination my only conclusion will be that the Republican Party is infested with liberals! Right now, I don’t want to believe that and have hope that folks will do the right thing on Tuesday and vote for the most conservative candidate, Mitt Romney!

So why was Romney the one they asked to step in for the Olympics after 9-11? Why didn't they ask Huckabee if he is so great? Mitt did an incredible job in impossible circumstances and he did it for the sake of the USA. And he succeeded with profit yet.

Only if you don't believe him. His platform is a solid conservative platform. He has done nothing in the past year to suggest wavering on that platform,

Do you have any idea how risible that statement is?

The trouble is that too many people already know who the Bishop Romney really is.

“There won’t be much rallying for Romney because many of see him as little, if any, better than McCain.”

How can they?
McCain is for amnesty and open borders, Romney is not.
McCain is for closing Guantanamo, Romney is not.
McCain is not trusted on taxes, Romney is a tax cutter.
McCain is for McCain/Feingold, Romney is not.
McCain is for McCain/Kennedy, Romney is not.
McCain is for McCain/Liberman, Romney is not.
McCain is endorsed by the New York Times, Romney is not.
There is more, but I am tired! Certainly folks can see the facts and realize Mitt Romney is the best choice!

It's unfortunate that you cannot recognize a conservative platform when it is being presented to you.

  1. Make Bush Tax Cuts Permanent.
  2. Private accounts in Social Security
  3. Support Human Life Amendment
  4. Oppose DC Gun Ban
  5. Appoint Strict constructionist judges
  6. Reign in excessive government spending
  7. 2nd amendment defines an individual right to bear arms.
  8. Repeal the McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance Reform legislation.
  9. Oppose federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
  10. Support Military's don't ask, don't tell policy
  11. Keep fighting in Iraq until we win.
  12. War on Terror is war on islamic extremists
  13. Add 100,000 troops
  14. Support School Choice/Vouchers
  15. Apply free-market principles to solve problem with taxpayer-funded default medical care for people without insurance.
  16. Laws to overturn Kelo, protect private property rights.
  17. Drill for oil in ANWR.
  18. More research before taking drastic actions on the so-called "global warming" problem.
  19. Roll back tax rates across the board
  20. Lower corporate tax rates
  21. eliminate the death tax
  22. Eliminate unncessary regulations on business
  23. Tort Reform
  24. Close the borders
  25. End illegal immigration

Tell me which of those items you think are NOT conservative, are NOT republican?

Usually we call someone a RINO when they claim they are a "republican", but they say they will do things that go against our philosophy.

In this case, you are claiming that Romney is not a republican, but can point to NOTHING in his platform that suggests he is anything BUT a solid conservative republican.

Of course, it's a lot easier to say "RINO" then to actually make an argument.

I happen to not use that term. But McCain, who will be our nominee if we don't get behind the solid conservative platform above, has taken positions on a multitude of issues that are at odds with our party. HE has voted against our party on procedural issues as well. He has spoken out against conservatives, while praising democrats. He has used false attacks against our conservative candidates, while apologizing for a QUESTIONER who used the b-word about Hillary.

If Romney was running on a non-conservative platform, I'd understand. But all you have to go on is your own (in my opinion very distorted) view of his past record. Which is fine if there was another candidate running who have a conservative platform, but now you are rejecting a man who is bleeding his own money pushing OUR platform, and you reject him.

A vote for Romney would not be a vote for a RINO. The platform is clear. Those who have spoken to Romney and had to put their own reputation on the line have said they believe him. People I trust have spoken to Romney and say he's the real deal. I've watched his speeches, read the transcripts, and he's selling the conservative position, even when doing different would win him more votes. He's LOSING primaries in NH and Florida because his conservative message opens the middle for McCain.

And he's doing so even though some conservatives are viciously attacking him.

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.

I just love it when Team Willard presents the Good German defense.

Bain Capital bought Clear Channel years after Mitt left the firm, if I remember correctly.

Kind of like the Haliburton tag that gets hung around Cheney’s neck.

Romney is untruthful. He is for higher taxes (fees, wink wink)

Romney is for illegal aliens flooding America (until this year for now).

Romney is against citizens voting.

Did he let them vote for HIS installation of gay marriage? no.
Did he let them vote for HIS installation of HIllaryCARE? no.

I can’t believe Rush could be bought, but it appears to be so.

Would you care to provide some facts to support your slander?

Charles, what the hell is so hard to understand about...

I changed my stances to run, but I really really really really promise I won’t change them again.

If Hillary suddenly proposed that platform would believe her too? Evidently so...

“Have you looked at Romney’s record on nominees for the MA court?”

Yes, I have seen everything there is to see about the various arguments against Romney.

Romney may not be the absolute best, but he IS BETTER THAN THE REST.

This is a quick break down for me.

Fred quit.
Hunter quit.
Paul has some interesting arguments, but he’s nuts.
Huckabee is a slimy religious zealot that could NEVER handle the job.
McCain is a democrat...He’s a traitor to the party, and he’s a very dangerous nut.
Obama-Clinton....clearly traitors and I hate their guts.

Lets see...who do that leave to lead my country protect my grandchildren’s dreams of the future? I am convinced that although Romney will not be perfect, he will work 24/7 a day, each and every day for our country. He will be a Good president. I would be one of the first to turn on him if he wasn’t.

Look, I know that I would never be able to convince you to vote for Romney and I am fine with that. You need to know that you won’t be able to change my mind, either.

Good day....

Romney cannot be trusted for anything you state.
He mutates with a time constant of years.
One year of him as a pseudo-conservative has ALREADY passed.
Romney will mutate again.

What? Romney was in charge of the Olympics approx. 2 years before they were to take place. They were in Feb. 2002.

A lady called into Lars Larson and said that someone called her and claimed that Romney is supporting McCain!

More dirty tricks by McCain.

And Lars said Romney has to win, so you can add him to the list.
