Mark Levin is saying he will need to find a way to reach out to conservatives

I know a way mittens could reach out to THIS conservative... it involves a long walk and a short pier.

Most Republicans just vote for whatever FOX News tells them.

Fox News likes Romney and won't report anything bad about him... so there you go.

When it comes down to it, the majority of people vote who they are told to vote for or who they are told will more likely “win” in the general election.

Mittens will most likely receive the nomination.

Those who believe in conservative, founding Father like principles should, on election day in Nov., vote for their local candidates in the county, state, and House/Senate races that they feel comfortable with.

But for President they/we need to make it known to the Repub. “Establishment” that their efforts will be for not. We should cast a vote for the Constitutional party or other conservative type candidate no matter how “fringe” people think they are.

If the country is to go down in flames in the coming years, let it be under Zero.

I would vote for Santorum in the primary. In the general, if Romneyis the nominee, I will vote for him over Obama.

“Well I hope and pray people wake up. If they don’t we will be faced with voting for Romney or staying home. Stay home and you elect Obama by a landslide. What is worse?”

I hope Newt wakes up soon. This shouldn’t have happened but he walked into every trap in the book, starting with his demands for the perfect debate that will never happen.

“At least Romney strikes me as being a decent human being.”

Oh, yeah, real decent.

Romney was quite decent as a human being when he agreed to $50 abortions - killing who knows how many babies
Romney was quite decent as a human being when he agreed to OK and support gay marriage
Romney was quite decent as a human being when he lied in his attack ads
Romney was quite decent as a human being when he allowed his campaign staff to pretend to be police officers
Romney was quite decent as a human being when he did so many things that have been documented on FR

He is slimy, willing to say anything to get elected POTUS, and is not “decent”.

And you believe him, apparently, which is astounding.

Romney got 51% of the female vote. Gingrich 29%. Women vote for the guy they think is the most attractive. It’s the same whether the woman is a Republican or Democrat. It’s hard-wired into their system and you can’t get around it. The KGB (who orchestrated the American women’s lib movement in the sixties), America’s advertising agencies, and Hollywood moviemakers have all known this and have been capitalizing on it for years. Who do you think were the ones voting for Obama in 2008? They all thought he was ohhh so cute! Fainting included. Why do you think his handlers chose him in the first place? I’ll get flamed for this, but the worst thing to have happened to America was for women to have been granted the franchise. They can’t handle politics or philosophy. They just know how to swoon. Come on, look at Romney. He’s matinee-idol handsome. His handlers know that. So does the media. So does the Republican elite. Ask these women voters what Romney stands for and they can’t tell you. They just know they like him.

Newt got most of the conservative votes. Like Mark Levin said..how is it a win if you have to spend 17 thousand dollars to make it happen?

Because it's every red-blooded American's civic duty to honor what the Founding Fathers faught and bled for by voting.

In the meantime Patriots will keep their powder dry should the Founding Fathers' option avail itself...

I will vote down ticket, but there is no way I would EVER vote for Romney. Will not happen. I have known far too many of his ilk in my life to ever vote for him under ANY circumstances.

i agree if it was in the bag, with all the gifts going his way, why did mitt the mutt and the rino establishment have to use the “scorch and burn” tactics the way he did to perhaps loose the election already by alienating those who are really conservative

Newt and Mitt both claim to have changed their Zebra stripes and leopard spots...

To think I was actually excited when Santorum did so well in Iowa. It turns out, that may have shot us in the foot. He might have faded out or just dropped out early if he’d had a poor showing there.

What rotten luck.

I'm most flabbergasted with the Tea Party...They are the ones that have fought so hard against politicians like Romo.

That’s funny, I think the same thing about Gingrich.

He supported TARP, he supported auto maker bailouts, he supported single payer health plans. He called the Ryan plan “conservative social engineering.” He’s made his living inside the belt way. Took money from the teet of the sow that caused the housing collapse. Not very Tea Partyish if you ask me.

Recent polls suggest that if the election were between only him and Romney, Newt still gets his ass kicked.

Can’t stay silent any longer. Sorry Jim. That’s just how I see it. I’m sticking with Santorum. He’s got enough money to last through Super Tuesday. (Does Newt?). Most of the remaining primaries are proportional so this games not over yet.

“I don’t think Romney would be any better with SCOTUS appointments...”

With Obama the conservative Justices will hang in there until they die. With Romney the conservative justices and Kennedy might feel its safe to retire and then Romney will appoint liberal justices destroying the conservative majority for generations. That's the real danger Romney poses in my opinion.
