“I truly believe the wing of conservatism represented here on FR was responsible for destroying Romney from within the party”
I disagree. The wing of conservatism represented on FR is the same one espoused by the people you mentioned (Rick Santorum, Paul Weyrich, Levin, Hewitt, Ann Coulter, Bob Jones III, James Dobson). And they all supported Romney.
There was a poll taken here a day before Super Tuesday and Romney won with 75% of the votes. He is presently the most viable conservative candidate. The candidates standing to his right could not manage to win even a single primary.
Romney’s challenge now is to win over the idiots who nominated McCain. You won’t find many of those around here.
Actually, loser, backstabber, DNC-suckup Romney always lost.
FLASHBACK:
FRee Republic Member Opinion
Thompson 66.8% 1,658 - WINNER
Romney 12.7% 315
Post Election Rasmussen poll - GOP voters:
Palin -- 64% - WINNER
Huckabee -- 12%
Romney -- 11%
Jiminy H. Christmas, are you still shilling here for your Socialist fraud ? Take your little Arlen Specter with better hair and get lost.
I must have missed that poll.
Or maybe I only saw the posts from virulent anti-Romney people who to this day can't recognize the damage they (not just FR) did by destroying the only candidate who stood a snowball's chance of winning in '08.
It just seemed like FR was filled with people who lived and breathed to destroy Mitt Romney.... and I still can't understand it.
Especially not when it was obvious that destroying Romney was in essence putting McCain as the GOP nominee.
