SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) -- South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley plans to endorse Mitt Romney's presidential bid.

A Republican with knowledge of the endorsement disclosed the plan ahead of the official announcement on condition of anonymity.

She already endorsed McLame when he ran for Senate. Some people thought that allowing Obama to win would give a conservative a better chance in 12. What folly that turned out to be. Electing Obama to a second term would do us no better.

If abortionist/socialist Mitt Romney is the nominee, I cannot and will not support him. And if that makes it tough for FR, so be it. In the interest of keeping FR alive to fight another day, I may be forced to make some interim changes, but I will not support this liberal/progressive bastard come hell or high water.

How about this?

"Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. If you support Mitt Romney, you are no conservative. If you stand with, encourage or support those who align themselves with Mitt Romney, they are no conservative and again: neither are you, and you need to find another website. This is a NO-MITT-ROMNEY ZONE!!"

Merry Christmas from our house to yours Jim. God Bless You.

Why else would she support someone as defective as Romney?

It's pay back for Romney supporting her..rather like Palin supported McCain.

I’d rather she not saying anything if she has nothing good to say. Romney is a poor person to endorse at her level in politics. Frankly speaking, at her level, I would sit on my hands and wish both sides the best.

Do you support Romney?

To quote our esteemed Founder, "I will not support this liberal/progressive bastard come hell or high water."

How 'bout you FoT? Where do you stand?

[Force of Truth]

Same as it has always been. Speak the truth for or against every candidate. Find and demonstrate the strengths and and weaknesses, but above all beat Obama and win the Senate. But I’m defending my beloved Nikki Haley in this context.

[Force of Truth]

Since you seem to be a spokesperson, and so there is no confusion, the official FR position is even if Romney wins the GOP nomination, he is not to be supported and no negative info even if true is allowed against his rivals. Even if that means Obama wins.

[Force of Truth]

And if you dont agree then you are not a conservative and are an evil liberal and should be banned. That seems to be the implicit attitude. Correct me where I am wrong or get off my backside you little gnat and argue like a man without the emotional bs.

Nice parsing of the words there FoT, I was asking where you stand on Mitt Romney and you sidestepped that query with the skill of a slick Willie.

Now as for defending your "beloved" Nikki Haley, if the beloved Nikki was a hostess over at your local Peddler's Steak House, and the morning newspaper reported that the health department was investigating e.coli reports from the salad bar, would you take Nikki's word for it that the salad bar was perfectly ok, or would you err on the side of caution and say "thanks but no thanks Nikki"?

Here is the proper "context" for you in this situation: 0bama and his regime are the equivalent of botulism in America's universal food chain, that much is true however you don't cure yourself of botulism by diving into a salad contaminated with e.coli, which is exactly what Romney represents, i.e., "0bama-lite".

You might give that analogy some thought.

I never claimed to be a "spokesperson", and you can post any negative information you want about any candidate pal, but the Founder of FR has made his position clear about Romney, and you seem to comprehend it, i.e. "Romney will not have support from FR", so if you can't handle that, I suggest you find yourself another website to pimp that Massachusetts liberal that your "beloved" Nikki has cozied up to.

And if you dont agree then you are not a conservative and are an evil liberal and should be banned. That seems to be the implicit attitude. Correct me where I am wrong or get off my backside you little gnat and argue like a man without the emotional bs.

I don't deal in "emotional BS" like liberals and RINOs do, and make a note: I got your great big 'gnat' right >here< bucko. It isn't an attitude, it's the truth: if you support Romney, you are NO conservative, because ROMNEY is no conservative.

You need to either get your mind right, or prepare for that inevitable zot from above. Neither Romney NOR his supporters are welcome here on this website. Feel free to confirm this with JimRob, he'll be happy to clarify anything you are unclear on.
