You’ve got to be kidding me. You aren’t going to see any conservative judicial appointments out of Romney. It’ll never happen.

YOU’VE got to be kidding ME!

Appointing a conservative isn’t necessary. Merely NOT appointing a homosexual marxist anti-american kagan is plenty good enough incentive to vote against obama in the general. That fact that you refuse to see this indicates to me there is something more than politics influencing your judgement. I think you just plain don’t want a mormon in the whitehouse and you really don’t care about the politics so much. You and the rest of your kind make me want to vomit. Your hatred for mormonism is going to kill this country...IF romney gets the nomination, which I don’t believe he will.

I agree. Anthony Kennedy isnt Captain Conservative, but he has been pretty good in maintaining the Constitution.

The things I look at for President are:

Judges
Willingness to Veto
Wisdom in using the military
How they will implement a Cabinet

A lot of the social and fiscal issues that candidates get judged on are things that the President will not be able to enact. The President’s only powers over social/fiscal issues are using the bully pulpit and signing/vetoing.

But as far as bringing in judges, being Commander in Chief, and the scope of the Executive branch, those are what a President must be on the right side of.

Sadly, I believe you are correct about this in more cases than I would have thought possible. I do not support Romney and I am LDS...but Romney is not Obama and he will be nothing like having Obama in power

If we are unable to stop splitting the true conservative vote and end up with Romney. In that case, I will vote for Romney as a last resort to avoid four more years of an abject Marxist being in power who has, in his first three years almost brought this nation to its knees.

I believe we must also focus on getting a Tea Party House and Senate in place who WILL hold Romneys feet to the fire. In addition, I do believe Romney understands the free market and will do well on that account in any case.

I pray Santorum can continue to rise and win...and if not him, then Perry or Newt. But that only happens if one of them quickly rises to the top and the others throw in behind him.

Where in the world did you get the idea I don't like Mormons? My not supporting Romney has nothing to do with his religion and everything to do with his politics. He's a NE Liberal. If I'm prejudiced against anyone, it would be New England Republicans. I just don't trust them.
