Fox news just reported that Mark Halprin [sic], from Time Magazine, has information that Mitt Romney will be ending his campaign sometime today.

Spoke too soon.

THE GOP nees to feel the wrath....by nor voting Prez in the election.

McCain campaign says if we don’t vote for him we’re suicide voters....terrorists.

F*&% HIM.

[pissant]

I was referring to the Reaganite, not McCain’s buddy.

[Dr.Deth]

Is that the official “protest vote” candidate now? Ron Paul? I mean, normally I wouldn’t vote for him to be President of the Dogcatchers Union, but my middle finger has to point somewhere in the direction of McQueeg.

Well if Freepers don’t vote for McCain in November you will get Hillary in office and you will be responsible of the defeat in Iraq, a new rise of islamo-terrorism and a quick decline of the US power.

No, I won't. McCain will be largely responsible. His ego compelled him to run, fools enabled him, I did all I could and having failed, I'm not going to encourage him or support him.
Anyone with the slightest pretension to conservative principles, draws a line somewhere. I have drawn one, and he is well to the wrong side of my line.

I WILL NEVER EVER SUPPORT JUAN MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Petronski]

You know damn well how I feel about John McCain and George Soros.

I can say the same thing.

You saw Romney as a greater threat than McCain.

Nope, they're both disastrous. Can't stand either one.

You were disastrously mistaken.

I nailed it, you did not.

A few short months ago, with the prospect of a Thompson or (ugh) Romney candidacy still seeming viable (and with Tancredo and Hunter still running under the supposedly conservative Republican label), I had nothing but contempt for the idea of a Ron Paul third-party break-away from the GOP. With only Huckabee and McCain left, I now welcome it. Labels don't mean squat - there is currently option D1 and option D2. Either one is an endorsement of the turd-world takeover of America, an endorsement of higher taxes, an endorsement of inaction on runaway "entitlement" spending, and endorsement of global warming scaremongering, an endorsement of UN-dictate internationalism...

McCain is as bad as a rat on the 1st Amendment, and not much better on the 2nd (it takes some real anti-gun efforts to get an F- rating from the GOA). This is an electoral sack of perfumed turd-world-approved feces. If you give it a big hug, they will think you like it and nothing will change next time around - the 'moderate' (barf, whatever that means) takeover will be complete.

If you want to reform it, it has to be done by sending a real message, a painful message. Tacit approval will guarantee the same ol' nasty pile of DNC/MSM approved non-conservative lightweights in 2012, 2016, 2020 and beyond. And the same old justifications for delaying this message ("we need to stop X,Y,Z") will NEVER vanish, there will always be a nasty Democrat who is demonstratedly worse lurking in the background.

Mitt is ‘suspending’ his campaign?
Typical.
Neither in, nor out, just flopping around.
Maybe tomorrow he’ll be back in. Or not.

Thanks for nothing! Did you enjoy your fantasy that Reagan and Jesus were pleased with your righteous works and pure hearts?

[cvq3842]

Understood!

[Petronski]

That’s not a concession, he’s only suspending.

[Khepri]

Not with my vote.

[cvq3842]

As Thomas Sowell said in that article he wrote a few days ago, yes.

[processing please hold]

This election was over before it started. The liberal establishment was planning this for 4 years. It’s all over for liberty and freedom in our lifetimes

Agree bump!!!!

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Sorry, but real conservatives don't try to regulate who private citizens and corporations can trade with (as DH would do), any more than they try to regulate health care or firearms ownership.

Nor do they drop out and endorse Mike Huckabee.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

I just switched my voter registration from Republican to Independent. Screw the Republicans. If you’re not a conservative, you don’t get my vote...period.

[HoustonTech]

Evan Bill Clinton and Al Gore did better for themselves when they got out of politics.

I don't know who Evan is, but when did Al Gore get out of politics? He hasn't done anything else for the last eight years.

Romney could be President in four or eight years, if he could prove over that period that he is what he now claims to be. The reason he never cuaght on was because he never was able to convince enough conservatives that he had honestly changed his views.

I wish him well, but this is the right thing for him to do right now.

[Petronski]

All I do is speak to the Romney Sleaze machine in its own idiom. Don’t like it? Change.

Many of us are "confabing" that at the moment. Here's a thread I started on Tuesday that looks like it's morphing into that search.
