Purpose of FR and why we can never support Mitt Romney

darkwing104 has the ZOT list.

"OldLady" has one and I believe there's a third one as well.

Either one works for me. I’ll stick with Laz. He doesn’t come with [that type of] baggage. LOL!

[reaganaut]

Gotcha and no worries, FRiend.

[Utah Binger]

Point is, Romney can't win if he gets the nomination.

Truer words were never spoken!

[sand88]

Thank you for that interesting analysis. Seems logical and on the money.

[Graybeard58]

ROFL. I’m thinking it is an affectation as most people with Doctorates don’t advertise in their screen name. Or he is making up for what he lacks in the real world.

I'll have you know, my beard really is gray!

I love asparagus (but not so much the side effect). :-)

[reaganaut]

Good point, but you aren’t calling yourself ‘Doctor greybeard58’.

[itsahoot]

Have you actually thought about your tagline?

Conservatives will no longer support evil, as in the lesser of the two.

God is not unmindful of the affairs of man, He is taking notes, better be mindful of that. I stated here on FR after the 08 election that we had just lived through a bloodless coup, time to wake up and recognize what we have done. Less of the same still gets you more of the evil.

[Graybeard58]

Congratulations on your escape.

Jim, what are your thoughts on Newt Gingrich? I’ve been moving in his direction (despite some of the stupid things he’s said/done over the years) as a realistic alternative to Romney. I can’t get over Perry’s pro-immigration stance and despite Club for Growth’s endorsement, I dislike Cain’s 9-9-9 plan because I think it creates new vulnerabilities that may ultimately result in higher total taxes.

[Politicalmom]

You two have an open relationship, don’t you? :p

[workerbee]

The only reason I vote the McCain/Palin ticket was Palin. Never again. Been there, done that, wouldn’t be prudent.

Jim, you & 94% of conservatives!!!

[Jim Robinson]

He’s a great debater. Ends there.

[FlyingEagle]

Bravo, Jim.

[Lazamataz]

You suck.

I was just gettin' a li'l huckleberry on the side.

You suck.

[boatbums]

Amen to that, JR! If O’Romney is the candidate, then the RINO GOP establishment will have ONLY themselves to blame when BamBam wins reelection. I would rather write-in a candidate I can trust than hold my nose and vote for just another version of the current POSIC again.

“Nice try, Perrywinkle. Name names.”

Oh, he’s not going to name names. Later in the thread, he says that he ‘suspects’ that there are Romney supporters pretending to be for Cain.

He’s going to dig through the pro-Cain people, then report the ‘suspects’ to Jim if/when he finds them.

Isn’t it nice that we have him to police us?

[McGavin999]

I'm not planning to work for Romney at all.

Me neither, no signs, no bumper stickers, no neighborhood parties, no phone banks, no driving voters to the polls.

[Lazamataz]

Jim, there's a reason he's a good debator -- he has much more experience at that venue than the others. There was an article about just this, in a local rag.

Debating isn't governing, as we see in Newt. Newt is MASTERFUL on the podium, and wasn't horrible in the first 100 days after he upended Congress to his favor. But governance is more than a debate and it is more than 100 days of activity. It's slugging it out day-in, day-out, for years.

Kinda like you've done with Free Republic.
