Maybe but I am going to vote for Newt and my family is too. My Mother has always been for Newt. I was for Santorum but will vote for Newt in the Primary. Newt is our only chance. If he can’t make it, I am NOT voting in the general for President....oh maybe I may write in Sarah. Actually that is what I am going to do if Romney ends up getting this thing.

That`s pretty much nationwide. Romney generates all the excitement of an empty cardboard box.

I`m feeling the same way. The nomination of Romney breaks it for me. Since you`re looking at a write-in, I suggest giving the U.S. Constitution Party a look. Their platform is what the GOP`s should`ve been.

The entire primary was one of the biggest damn dog shows I’ve ever seen.

The pathetic fact is that santorum's presence or absence will have made no difference whatsoever. The man was long since toast and most ordinary humans knew it all along.

There is plenty of excitement in the prospect of getting a majority in the US Senate. Bob Casey (D) is up for reelection this year. He is a lap dog of the left. Please show up to vote for “the most conservative candidate that can win”. Of the 5 running in the primary, two had been Democrats in the past and two have never won a race. That leaves Sam Rohrer, a Conservative pro-lifer that has been endorsed by Michelle Bachmann. Good enough for me.

Don’t give up the ship yet. Let’s hope
Am I a Newt fanatic: nope. Is he a conservative: Yes. Is Romney a conservative: NO!
The choice is easy

I will be voting for Newt in the California primary on June 5th. He is the only conservative left. As much as the establishment wants to coronate Romney, the rest of us *do* still get to vote!

True, state races are exciting. Look at Dan Forest, Lt Governor NC. And the NC democrats are imploding.

Maybe should vote for Romney for a “trial test” to make it easier to do so for real in November. I still lean to voting for Santorum anyway, but we have to go with Romney in November.

We have 4-months until the convention in Tampa.

Your vote for a conservative, like Gingrich, will help divert the nomination from Romney, who has never in his political life performed as a conservative. Newt has a record of having done so in Washington, D.C.

Theodore, you don’t “have to go” with any politician who doesn’t espouse your values. A vote is your “voice”.

There isn’t much difference between Obama and Romney. Romney has admitted to being a progressive, which is a national socialist, and as governor of Massachusetts he ignored constitutional rights.

Vote your conservative values, and help send a conservative out as our nominee against Obama.

Note: yesterday I say a post that a Rasmussen poll stated Gingrich is within 7-points of Obama. That means he is breathing down Romney’s neck, and the MSM are ignoring it.

It’s over...Romney is going to be the nominee. Conservatives who refuse to vote for him in November out of spite might as well vote for Obama. The end result is the same. As much as I’m not a fan of Mitt, I’ll take him in a heartbeat over our Marxist in Chief. Sure, many are angry he’s going to be the nominee, but I view it as more of a failing of the other candidates. They had their chance and failed; plain and simple. They have no one to blame but themselves. Perhaps we will get a better lot of potentials next time around.

On April 24th 2012
If Santorum is on your primary ballot
Vote for the man and his delegates who fought it
Not for the man who brought it
OBMACARE is a 1.76 Trillion $ Hydra
A 9 headed Serpent whose heads must be decapitated all at once with a Firebrand otherwise they grow back and devour everything in sight
by L.J .Keslin / http://www.theusmat.com
Note this article will print out on 1 page at 60% setting

While the ex governor of the only state with mandatory state run health insurance (which is in trouble ) was busy buying up state primary elections Of the three GOP candidates remaining opposing him only one man, Sen Rick Santorum, had the courage to take on a what they call a third rail issue...Eugenics...one of the heads on that 9 headed snake called obamacare.. and Santorum had his character asassinated for it... Rick has been pummeled from both sides Called , a women hater ,, a religious nut, and ..a one trick pony. Santorum spends an hour discussing oil and the economy then 10 seconds comenting about pornography but guess what MSM and Santorum detractors will talk about... certainly not ,what’s really in the 1.76 trillion dolllar wonder called Obamacare ,,...!;

Population control,.Death panels., Private presidential armys..requiring US to pay for birth control pills and abortions and all that goes in those 2400 pages of rules, laws,and regulations and with it. cost, 1.76 trillion and rising ..

To pay off a 16 trillion dollar national debt at $16.00 a second would take 31,668 years*. .. Not including interest.There is no way to “fix” Obamacare..Part of that debt is a 1.7 trillion dollar secret Xmas eve gift that was delivered in March 09 that must be returned by someone determined to do so not just exchanged .I’ts doubtfull the man in the Etch a Sketch suit will do it. Mitt has yet to explain how his “Romneycare “is working”
A trillion seconds of time =31668 years

Two groups late in the last century led in Eugenic development. The Nazis and the Communists. Few know or remember how the Nazis began. First citing “health risk” “nicht rauchen” baning cigarette smoking, Then terminating Down Syndrome children, and then on to mentally defective children and adults,. then on to besides murdering opponents, races. All done to make the German Reich healthy and last a thousand years

. So you go to the MSM (Main Stream Media) the so called “gate keepers” for information about these things and you find closed gates .. The sorcerers in the media magically reduce a 2000 page Hydra , a Greek legendary nine headed venomous serpent that must be slain by a firebrand ,and morph it into the mourning after pill and a “womans health care issue.”

The “gatekeepers” never tell you that Obamacare bill creators and the Amish are exempt from being in Obamacare. The drafters are on record actually calling it population control and demanding Catholic bishops support it.* Their statements are out there .But not mentioned by the so called gate-keepers but by the AM the alternate media, meaning radio talk shows like Limbaugh’s and websites like Britebart’s Government . Places Obama wants to shut down and will once re-elected *Joel Pollak Britebart Government .

When Santorum talks about freedom he warns women surrender their rights when they buy into this monstrosity . That is what’s in Obamacare which is deceptively titled “The Affordable Health Care Act” .Yet Obamacom tzars who hail from that foreign land, the deep swamp of Acadamica are all preaching the utopian wonders of Eugenics. Why it’s the final solution (remember him ?) population control. Which is part of the Obamacare package.

Fortunately Santorum has not shyed away from this issue miss characterized as only a social issued. It is both a social and financial issue $ 1.75 trillion is in no way a minor expenditure. One of this hydra heads Population control affects US from the cradle to the grave. .but Santorum can not speakout and act against this despicable movement ? Particularly when that is being shoved on religious groups by the Demo-Coms . Especially when they are ignoring constitutional rights...

Private job creation projects rejected by the socialists controlling new demo-com party should send a signal to the Republican bleeding heart establishment . “Bi-partisanship” doesn’t exist with the socialists who have taken over the democrat party and to the GOP leading presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Mr Romney should start realizing Obama is a “socialist”.. Everyone including the monthly liberal magazine Newsweek knows he is but Mr Romney just can’t seem to get around to saying it .

Preventing an iron mine in Wisconsin for a desperate area in need of jobs or preventing the Keystone pipeline transfering oil from Canada to American refineries decisions which would have provided employment to thousands and reduced gas prices. was not on the new demo-com agenda.which has taken over. Common good is not their concern but their welfare is.. not ours .
Thank You

The excitement is gone. ...Not for me. I want the RNC to get a black eye. NEWT all the way, always has been for me. Santorum is an RNC shill, just like Romney. Always was and proved it when he was told to endorse Sphincter.

Four years ago I voted against McCain in the primary. This year I will vote against Romney.

Our non-Romney field proved the adage that MORE is LESS and LESS is MORE. Our little Republican primary voters just never seem to understand, and I don’t think they will in 2016 or 2020 either. Too busy making money to study politics, I supect.
