There are some intolerant people on FR, some realy nasty dudes too but most of these posters are great. I hang around this board because for the most part they’re positive encouraging individuals.
As for the intolerant ones, I’d rather heap coals of kindness on their heads than take on the same tone.
Just sayin’
He did create 1000s of jobs and it's obvious to anyone with a clue. If Romney was running as a private businessman he'd be a conservative darling -- unfortunately for him and all of us, he went into government and built up a very suspect record and earned a healthy amount of skepticism and scorn.

and I wish the kick off primarys/caucuses were moved to neon red states and out of Iowa and NH.
Romney so far hasn’t been able to get anyone to vote for him who didn’t vote for him back in 2008.
He was within 30 votes of his total in Iowa too. This is why Park’s projection was so far off. Romney = Romney.
The McCain votes are all over the map this year. Santorum has almost all the Huckabee votes (which is good for him), and Gingrich has some Huckabee, some Thompson, some McCain.
What this means, going past NH, is that he’s vulnerable everywhere. Iowa showed this. NH is about his best state.
The problem is consolidating folks to run against him. Right now, that gives us the choice between Newt and Santorum.
I personally think that Santorum is stronger, but that’s going to be up to South Carolina, which is going to settle that battle.
Ick.
Here’s the problem...yes, this is just a NE liberal state, but once these results are in, they will greatly affect the polling in SC, just like IA did. I think I will spend the next couple days reading Paul’s platform. I may prefer him to Romney.
Doh! Kats outta duh bag now.
Bye!
If Newt really wants screw Romney he will drop out and endorse Santorum or Perry. One of those two will have to go as well. I will believe Romney beating a conservative head on when I see it. We need an inside straight but we can do it. We CANNOT have the father of Obamacare as our nominee!!! Never give up.
and I hope you look into Romneycare in Mass ...beginning of socialized medicine in the USA. Not to mention a ton of bureacratic red tape. Socialism in Mass
Rush said just the opposite yesterday and seemed to take up for him. Rush drifting? If so, I’m done.
SC is looking very tight now. Based on tonight, looks like Santorum got 80% of Huckabee voters and Gingrich got 20% of them and 17% of the McCain voters from 2008.
If these numbers hold in SC, it’s bad News. Newt needs to make up about 10-15 points in Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and Charleston. According to the latest polling, Romney’s got a 70-30 edge on the 2008 McCain voters in these areas. A month ago when Newt was leading SC, it was flipped. It’s okay for Santorum and Gingrich to both legitimately compete in SC because unlike 2008 when Thompson was going after Huckabee’s voters, Newt doesn’t have to necessarily do that with Santorum. There are enough of the McCain/Rudy/Thompson voters from 2008 that can allow Newt to compete directly against Romney without touching Santorum and where Romney could finish as low as 3rd.
Fence sitting for the conservatives yet to endorse has to come to an end though for Palin, Cain, and Demint. SC is the last stand. If Romney pulls a crappy plurality here, that may be the end of things.
Perry only has 1% of the vote in NH and lost bad in Iowa. Newt is doing better than Perry. You have it backwards..Perry should drop out and endorse Newt.
You follow politics closely, it seems.
