Yes indeed. Newt and Perry will take Romney and Santorum to the woodshed in the next couple of primaries.

Iowa is proving itself a joke. Open Primary and a lower actual “Republican” turn out.

Oh, and I have not even gotten to how crackpot Paul screws up the “promote the geneal welfare” second most important objective of the uS Constitution.

No, I don’t mean the definition that the socialists have pevereted to build entitlements. I mean how that jerk has no problem expanding by tens of millions the number of people destroying families, neighborhoods, and US productivity with a massive growth in drug freaks.

Romney will not beat Obama. Romney will savagely go after any conservative that is in his way but will be all nicey nicey with Obama, just like McCain. And the democrats will be their usual viscious selves.

Ford, Bush Sr., Dole, McCain, Romney. Wake up. These types never go after democrats, only conservatives so the gravy train keeps flowing.

Oh it is going to be politically open season on poor Rick Santorum from the State Controlled Media, Politico, Un-Named Sources, Made Up Smears, Tax Records from 35 years ago, papers written in high school, Oppos within the DNC, you name it the whole kitchen sink at him. Even he said it is now coming. He does not relish it, either for himself or his family, he has been through it before. Just watch how nasty they will give him holy hell, while giving their favorites, Willard and Crazy Uncle in the Attic an absolute Free Pass. Take it to the Bank. It is definitely his turn in the MSM barrel of horrors. It starts tomorrow, no doubt. For that reason alone, Herman Cain should endorse him to give a middle finger to these "journalists" in the tank for RINOS and Obama.

"(2) As things stand today, the military is used to defend South Korea, Lithuania, Greece, France, and Japan, but not to protect the American Southwest from an invasion of millions of illegal aliens."

You forgot Germany, one of the biggest expenditures, or the biggest.

Wondering what the count is on the Sarah Palin write-in? I know she got some votes but will the MSM report it?

Come on folks, who else can beat Obama, if not Romney? I am not saying I like Romney, or he will beat Obama. But none of the other republicans can beat Obama.

Keep saying it ...over and over. Until you begin to believe it.

Oh, seems you’ve already done that.

Geez! I just heard the guy on ABC radio news say that 30% were supporting Ron Paul because they’re looking for a “true conservative.”

I saw that. The left has been working to politicize the military. They've had some success by working the Ron Paul angle.

The specter of this guy showing up in uniform in Iowa to campaign for a presidential candidate ought to be disturbing.

Someday BillyBoy....you may just get current about Newt along with the rest of the nation instead of re-laying old news that carries no truth to it.

Are you enjoying carrying the Romney agenda for him?

Didn’t Gov. Carroll Campbell tell them to vote for GHWB, and they did?

Bill Kristol must not be a Mittens man, he’s pointed out Mitten’s shortcommings in even reaching 30,000 votes three times in the last half hour. With only 27% of precincts reported it seems like rank speculation to make such a jump once.

Wrong.

# 1, Romney will not have the Republican base. That is a Fact, no matter who he were to choose as a running mate. FACT

#2 Free Republic is an ANTI-ROMNEY website per the founder. Romeny will NEVER have the Conservative base. In fact, the Conservative base will continue to expose his Liberalism.

Happy New Year!!

Welcome to Free Republic, America's exclusive site for God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty conservatives!

ObamaCare = RomneyCare = CommieCare. NO Romney! NO WAY!!

Newt won’t win SC either . His adultery and 3rd wife won’t go over with southern voters. I think it will be between Perry and Romney.

Folks want a candidate to rally around sooner rather than later. I think the NH primary will set the stage for a run off in SC and a finale in FL

I didn’t vote for Obama, rest assured. And I’ll support any candidate who eliminates O-Care outright. I hate that I am going to be forced to pay for other peopple’s abortions.
