Why don’t you just move on over to Daily KOS, getting sick of your constant bashing of Romney. If Obama wins in 2012 don’t whine about four more years of Obama!

What's wrong, the truth about your boy Romney bother you?

BTW, if Romney, God Forbid, is the nominee, YOU Will get four more years of Obama.

With his sordid, lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal record, Obama and the media have been salivating at the prospect of facing off against him.

The only thing inevitable about Romney is that he is the only candidate guaranteed to give Obama a 2nd term. The media and Obama will use the ample ammunition provided by Romney's lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal record and use it like a club to beat Romney over the head 24/7 until his candidacy is nothing more than a bloody pulp and his poll numbers are in the toilet.

Here is how Romney's record matches up against Obama's record. Notice the similiarities?

So it’s your way or the highway?

If the nominee doesn’t pass your conservative litmus test you take your vote and go home to sulk in the corner?

Now that’s the epitome of foolishness.


This isn't about a litmus test, it's about having something, anything to recommend Romney to conservatives using his record.

You’re probably right....Obama would be the better choice. At least we’ll know what we’d be getting.

With Obama we could count on more race baiting, class warfare, higher taxes and wealth confiscation/transfer.

And a stable international scene with a nuclear North Korea and Iran being supported by China and the Russians.

We’d also be blessed with a re-energized IRS, DHS, EPA and DOJ to do the master’s bidding.

And don’t forget one or two more Supreme Court nominations just like the last two.

Yep, thanks for setting me straight. That Romney would be a big mistake. I’ll take Obama any day. As a bonus, with any luck at all, he’ll pick a new VEEP to groom for 2016.

Sure it’s about a litmus test...you just don’t want to acknowledge your own rigidity.

The only recommendation you need is to look at the alternative.

Here's your litmus test, the alternative and your boy Romney just about are comparable on every issue:

You forgot the “would lose 40 or more states and hand the house to the dems” line, which Newt would have a “y” in.

Ah, yes, almost forgot that Newt is still slugging this out.

Don’t forget to send him another thou’ or two.

What are you going to do when the Newtster folds his tent? Or gets caught shagging another lobbyest?

Yes. Obama and the MSM are going to set out to convince voters that Romney is a left-wing progressive liberal and we need a conservative like Obama instead.

Do you listen to yourself? Do you see the slightest problem with your logic? Do you consider yourself lucid?

I’m not willing to vote for a nominee who is pro abortion and pro gay marriage.

I prefer to vote for a conservative. I am morally opposed to voting for a liberal. You are obviously not burdened by such a thing as moral precepts and principles

"Hell is full of good meanings, but heaven is full of good works."

So, be sanctimonious and rendered useless in the greater scheme of things. Many of us will be humble and effective in trying to make even the smallest change for a better country for everyone

But you’ll vote for a nominee who is twice divorced after getting caught cheating on his former wives (which also says something about the women involved) but who now says that he has found religion?

Or you will support one who has taken millions of dollars from special interest groups but for which the consultant Statement of Work or contract deliverables are missing?

Or a nominee who has a huge ethical cloud hanging over his head, the details of which would surely drip out?

And what if, just for kicks, Romney is the nominee? You would take your vote and stay home?

I guess we’ll see...but it really doesn’t make a difference to me.

I’m less a Romney supporter than I am a a clear thinking American who understands that this country is:

1. Going in the wrong direction
2. Being led by a man who is at odds with our Constitution, Judeo/Christion values and 200 years of history.

The overriding issue in November is to send Obama back to where he came from.

It would be great to have a RR conservative as the party’s nominee but if it’s somebody else, as it likely will be, I will not be deterred for a moment from putting my full support behind that person.

It is that kind of thinking that has given us Dole, Bush 1, McLame, ... and an endless series of RINO's and the GOP knows it.

Never again for me. If the choice is Obama or Obama-lite, I am writing in Palin.

But this is NOT OVER. I am in New York and Gingrich is on fire here! This will be a huge test finally of Romney -vs- gingrich in a head to head matchup.

I am going to see him in downtown Buffalo Friday and I will post a freeper report. - In fact ANY OTHER FREEPERS BRING YOUR ID TAG and WEAR A FREEPER SHIRT (If JimRob does not want to commerically produce merchandise, how about we do it and donate all profits to FR?)

What?? that's it - he's DEAD TO ME now... and Ronald Reagan was divorced too- HE would be dead to me if he hadn't already been dead.

And ronald Reagan USED TO BE A DEMOCRAT!!! did you know that? - That's it for him twice over.

How can a person vote for a left wing Statist and still honestly call themselves conservative?
