Actually, the WORST would be the re-election of Obama. Period!

And Romney is not the nominee yet....

Saying no to Newt doesn’t give a free pass to endorse Romney, by people who call themselves conservatives.

Of course not supporting Newt doesn't mean one has to support Romney.

But I'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise based on so many of the posts I've read on FR.

LOL, you may be right. In the end it will all boil down to how bad people want Obama gone.

S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley endorses Mitt Romney

Haley said Friday on Fox News she is throwing all of her support behind Romney in the Republican primaries. She says jobs, the economy and spending are most important and the former Massachusetts governor is the best candidate to address those issues.

Haley also said President Barack Obama seems most afraid to face Romney.

Haley, a Tea Party favorite, is a rising star within the GOP and her endorsement in the first-in-the South primary state has been sought by many other presidential contenders

The media just love to report Haley as a Tea Party fave. Shows why the Tea Party should have never endorsed candidates.

Just wondering if that’s what happens, then the cataclysm of flame wars on FR might be what the Maya prophesied for 2012?

I will be pulling on my flame-retardant long underwear, keeping my head down & (no disrespect meant to Jimrob) pulling the lever for the NOT-Obama candidate. One thing I am sure of - we will not recover from another 4 years of Obama & his 'destruct/deconstruct' America agenda and the thought of him appointing up to 3 Supreme Court justices in a 2nd term makes me ill.

That old TEA isn’t as strong as we remember it.

It’s been diluted with RINO pee.

“Every GOP woman wants to be married to Mitt Romney

That’s the truth.”

Well, I haven’t met one yet who would want to be married to Newt.

God help us all if former Governor Sarah Palin decides to endorse Mitt Romney.

That would be awesome.

When the libs, the MSM, and the GOP-E hung Sarah out to dry after Tucson, Haley didn’t offer one word of support, despite everything Sarah had done for her, especially after that blogger accused her of infidelity.

_______________________________________________________________________

She has already said twice that she wouldn't mind being on the same ticket as Mitt, or essentially that, so given the current field, I wouldn't be surprised if she does indeed endorse Mitt.

People make Sarah out to be something she is not. She's never going to live up to her reputation. That's one reason so many people were outraged when she didn't run. She's not the political goddess that people make her out to be.

A lot of us would be working for a Third Party candidate at FR.

Surprising. I expected her to endorse Perry.

So it’s down to RINO Mitt vs. RINO Newt. Bummer.

Just shot her chances of ever being elected to the highest office in the ass!

Was she running for Governor of California or something?

We don't need to accomodate RINO's, just because a RINO wins the Nomination of the Establishment Republicans.

We'll still be a Conservative site, with mostly Conservatives here. Jim has allowed non-Conservative members, too (obviously).

I don’t think that her endorsement of Romney will help him in South Carolina. Newt will win this state hands down if he don’t shoot himself in the head again!
