Not these

Wrong!

Romney’s advisors have given up the ghost. Romney won’t repeal obamacare.

That makes him the enemy!!!

Two points.

FIRST, the attacks BEGAN by Romney in 2008, if not earlier.

And it cost the GOP the election.

SECOND,

IS THIS REALLY THE GREATEST MOMENT IN AMERICAN CONSERVATISM?

YOU ARE THERE

I agree, it's been horrible to watch. Whether here on FR, news media indulging in petty gossip and innuendo, or our own candidates eating their own, it's been a sad state of affairs. We didn't have normal attrition from the race because campaigns didn't catch on or funds dried up. It's been non-stop insults and denigrating comments until the candidates were driven out.

I pray it's not too late to stop the attacks and band together. We have a common enemy who is destroying this country and this is our last chance to stop him.

Disagree completely. This is a normal primary and will only make Newt stronger for the General. The country already knows what his past is and will have no affect.

Pray for America

“Sorry, I disagree with all due respect. We will unite to beat Obama....:

BINGO. Most Freepers hated McCain but we all hate Obama now more than we hated McCain so we all did the right thing. They haven’t seen “infighting” until the real fight which are the presidential debates.

As Mark Steyn said yesterday on Rush, we’re going to have a flawed candidate. It’s up to us to drag him across the finish line to win.

Way too many debates too early. I’m already sick of all these guys. I would never vote for Hussein, but if independents are also sick of our guys, who knows? They were stupid in ‘08 and could be again.

I think it was Milton Friedman who said that it's a waste of time to find the perfect candidate; what you do is get the imperfect candidate to do the things you want.

That's not exactly how he put it - I went looking for the quote but couldn't find it.

You are correct, we must unite. On your question why is Santorum still in? Santorum won the Iowa caucus. Romney the NH primary, and Gingrich the SC primary. Shouldn’t you be asking why is Ron Paul still in who hasn’t won anything and is in last place?

There was a great article in American Thinker about the advantages of having a flawed candidate.

Sowell is absolutely right, and the longer the intramural fighting continues, the already slim chances of defeating Obama fade further.

The “media” has been masterful in corraling voters toward one candidate, then another, then another, as each is then crushed by an onslaught of attacks. What this does is kill voter enthusiasm, and recent polling numbers bear that out. The enthusiasm gap that carried the GOP and TEA Partiers to victory is almost gone.

And the most painful part of that is 0bama could`ve been crushed. Now the hopes of conservatives rest on a foursome that`s more interested in flaying each other. The dems have to be breathing a huge sigh of relief.
