South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley endorsed Mitt Romney for president Friday, saying he has the executive experience in the private and public sectors that proves he can deal "with a broken Washington."

With all due respect Gov Haley, Zero and his Chicago thugs are afraid of no one, and MOST OF ALL certainly cannot be afraid of milquetoast Mittens. Mittens is just another McLame being shoved on us by the GOP elite. We need an official Tea Party.
The Tea Party will have no real impact unless it incorporates as a poltical party and begins to present candidates for election. In fact, it’ll be long forgotten unless it does this.
The people we call RINOs are not Repblicans in name—they ARE the Republicans.

If you’d bother reading my post at least somewhat carefully, you’d clearly see I’m not pulling for Romney. But I refuse to be so idiotic as to claim an America-hating Muslim Marxist like Obama would be a better option for president than Mitt. So how about you get educated to a person’s point-of-view first before having hyper-emotional knee-jerk reactions and flaming accordingly.
Try it. It’s really not all that hard.
My; what thick heads, these Repubs have. . .Altogether, depressing, folks.

I really don’t understand the distate for Romney. Yes I understand that he put into place a program that put in place the program for Obamacare. But isn’t that what converatives wants at least initally? We want state rights? Right? So he pushed forever a plan under state rights to fix the healthcare problem in a way he thought was reasonable. Now we can disagree with him that that was not a conservative value within the state.. but that’s doesn’t mean he would choose that nationally. I believe there is a difference. Romney certainly is far more moral than Newt from what we know, there is no denying that. The question is will he support conservative values. Personally Romney’s issue of supporting a localized healthcare plan is far more conservative than Newt supporting a obscene immigration policy.

ROMNEY? NO WAY, NO HOW. EVER. BIGGEST PHONEY EVER.
Or get elected in Brooklyn.
And the St. Louis Cardinals could not even make it to the playoffs last year. /s.
If the race is still on when it comes time for Md. to vote who are you going for? Willard or Perry?
The Tea Party has good intentions, but it hasn’t been able to coalesce effectively at the national level. In 2010, they bested the GOP establishment in numerous nomination fights at the statewide level, showing a canny ability to back a single conservative candidate to go up against the candidate pushed by the GOP. Some were unsuccesful in the general election, but most of them won. And it left the GOP establishment shell-shocked. Had the Tea Party been able to rally around a single candidate at the national level, we wouldn’t be having a debate over whether Romney or Gingrich is the least repulsive choice. I’m not saying that the Tea Party won’t mature into a national force at some point in the future, but it’s too late for this presidential election cycle. They’ll have to focus on pushing candidates for congressional and statewide offices and back, however reluctantly, whomever emerges from the GOP presidential primaries, no matter how distasteful that choice.
If 0bama fears Romney at all, it’s only in the sense that he thinks Romney might unseat him—nothing philosophical. Our Founders warned us about arriving at a state in our politics where two unscrupulous parties are divided only by their greed to hold the same public offices. 0bama vs. Romney is perhaps the most revolting example of this yet seen.
However, I doubt that 0bama fears losing the presidency to Romney. 0bama knows that Romney would demoralize tea partiers and depress the Republican vote, and likely invite the entrance of a major conservative third party effort, as well. So let’s get in and push and nominate someone acceptable.
This is a folly. With this move, Haley decreases her own credibility in South Carolina, while bringing none to Willard. South Carolina will never warm to him as a primary candidate.
By the time they get here in May, Perry will be LONG GONE.
It would be logical to suspect the opposite. We've got everything there is on Romney. The guys been examined from head to toe by the media equivalent of a spectroscope and a micrometer.
You honestly think there's more to be 'discovered' about Mitt? It is also the one major attraction of Newt, that he's been so well covered there can be no October surprises.
As a nation we know more about the history of these two guys than we know about Obama and Michelle.
We know about Newt and Gingrich has said that there isn’t anything else to find, as far as he knows, but he couldn’t promise that absolutely (his words) with the state of the media is in.
No, I don’t think that everything has been told about Mitt. For example, we know he destroyed his office’s computer hard drives, but we can’t say what exactly was on those drives that would concern Romney, to the point, that he thought they needed to be destroyed.
But there is the possibility the media might know and are holding onto the info until Romney, so if he becomes the nominee, the media can then proceed to do some heavy damage quickly.
And I never knew you, Madame Governor....what a disappointment!
Ping and double ping. I wonder why Haley thought she had to endorse anybody at this stage. This will cost her a lot of Tea Party Conservative votes. Obviously she does not access Free Republic.
She was just trying to jump on Bob Dole, winner of the 1996 SC primary.
