Deezastah!

[katiedidit1]

show, to any conservative that has remained silent they are killing our cause and the entire point of the Tea Party by allowing a rino like Mitt and wacko like Paul to run away with what was once the GRAND ole party. I am no longer a republican. I am a constitutionalist. I will not donate one red cent to the GOP and I am furious at the big names and Tea Party folks that have remained so silent it is deafening.

[Darksheare]

f snuggling up with RINOs is your thing, then trewblewconservative is your website.
They are not conservative, and they go for all that touchy feely pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, pro-gun ban, pro-government run healthcare stuff that Romney likes.

Paul “I want to thank the Union-Leader for not endorsing me.”

Looks like Paul might successfully deny Romney the sweep. Paul takes the lead in Cheshire, and is just 31 votes down in Coos.

Belknap in, slightly favoring Santorum, but everything else is the same.

[Hojczyk]

It is Mittens... One against five in this case One wins..Reagan beat Bush one on one....until we figure some way for Conservatives to have a pre-primary we will get Rinos .....Newts going to appear tomorrow with some Democrat ..Clyburn I think...

[katiedidit1]

Witnessing the death of the conservative party. Two looney toones state pick our candidates? one rino fool and another insane doctor.
Bet Rove is grinning like a cheshire cat

Nah, I’ve been posting here for years. I stayed away for a while because I could sense how intolerant people around here were becoming toward diverse viewpoints. I decided to check out FR a few weeks ago and it’s gotten even worse. Before you hurl insults let me assure you that I’m no RINO. In the past I’ve supported Rudy, Pawlenty, George W. (twice!), even Palin (despite her many obvious deficiencies). For me, it’s about the right candidate at the right time. Right now, this election, that candidate is Mitt. But hey, the rest of you around can cling to the dream that your perfect (i.e., non-existent) candidate will suddenly come forward. Meanwhile, the rest of us on the right will live in reality. And when you sit out this fall’s election so you can hold a pity party — granting Obama a second term and all the horrors that go with it — I’m sure you’ll feel great about yourselves. Right?

I said two months ago on FR that SOUTH CAROLINA is where the GOP establishment, (if a RINO is seen as "ahead"), will start to exclude Conservatives from their State GOP sponsored debates. They did this four years ago if you recall with Congressman Hunter, though he had more committed GOP delegates than another candidate (RINO) who had less and yet was allowed to debate. They excluded Alan Keyes a number of years back and he was so angry he even crashed the event and got arrested. Look to them to try to excluding somebody, but not one of the RINOs--this is coming next folks. Watch the talk show hosts also start on the Romney-is-Inevitable Drumbeat loud and clear and incessant...among them chief, will be Laura Ingraham who will start on it tomorrow. Oh she will cleverly attempt to cover her tracks by throwing in a little feigned and obligatory anti-Romney "dig" (very weak at that) every few minutes to try to show her "balance" and "neutrality" but on the whole she will be very strongly anti-anti-Romney, and dig, or parody or mock any candidates that are left in his way. Just watch her. Actually, listen to her her voice escalates in anger against non-Romney candidates, much the way Karl Rove's voice rose when talking about Herman Cain rising, blowing is cover after a few minutes of initially keeping cool. So totally in the tank. They are pretty bad actors/actresses if you ask me.

There’s new youtube yet, but I hope someone picks up on it. Romney is a disgrace.

[jeltz25]

Well, if Romney has any illegitimate black kids, now would be the time to point it out.

Seriously, though, I think we’re at the point where 2 of the 3 conservatives left need to withdraw and support one of them. IMO, Santorum is the strongest going forward. If Newt and Perry backed out and endorsed him, he could win SC and then things change.

Perry is definitely done. Newt...I think there have just been too many attacks. I think he’s too far gone. So, that leaves Santorum. He’s the only left who may be able to beat Romney, and even that is probably far fetched now.

[DJ MacWoW]

I don’t think so. The poster doesn’t seem to post often and I would bet that he doesn’t know that pushing liberal Mitt isn’t allowed on FR.

[BenKenobi]

Mitt is on pace for 72k.

[Crichton]

Given that Romney is up 10% in the RCP poll average in SC, that seems rather unlikely.

I don't think Romney's numbers will crash in SC, but polls can and do shift dramatically in a short time frame. Romney drops 5 pts, Newt/Rick rise 5 pts, and it's neck and neck. Romney dropped 5 pts and Huntsman rose 5-8 pts in the final week in NH.

That is Soros, Romney’s partner in JET BLUE.
