While formally suspending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination on Wednesday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that he believes presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney is conservative enough when compared to “the most radical, leftist president in American history.”

“And my answer is simple: compared to Barack Obama?

You know this is not a choice between Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan. This is a choice between Mitt Romney and the most radical, leftist president in American history.”

If the R’s win, both, the House and Senate, and if Romney becomes the next POTUS, too, then how will that help to defeat “RINO Republicanism”, too?

Newt gets it. Newt’s smart. It’s a crying shame he isn’t the choice. And now we will get the parade of self-centered clowns who will blabber on about how much more brilliant and “more Conservative than Newt” they are...

Does anybody know if it is true that SPAIN will be counting America’s votes in our election in November?
If it’s true, how is this even legal? Who allowed this? What can we do about it?
Google it...

In 2008 I swore I would never vote for McCain—but I just HAD to vote for Sarah Palin and it wasn't MY fault they refused to let them run on separate ballots.

If Mitt doesn't pick a good VP and then swear to resign the second after his inauguration, he ain't gonna make it. (a Palin write in would not have added to the McCain/Palin ticket btw)

Works for me. I mean, all we’re talking about here is getting the US govt. back under some semblance of adult supervision.

Your 2nd question is irrelevant. I will not vote for a man who has an unquestionably abortionist, homosexualist, statist record and who is lying about it (ie, currently claims that he has always been pro-life and “quite frankly” all of his positions have “always been conservative.” And who is still pushing his anti-liberty RomneyCare compulsory health insurance plan (see Ronald Reagan on compulsory health insurance is socialism) and claims it is a “conservative solution” (another lie). A man who still pushes global warming. A man who claims more stimulus spending may be necessary. A man who supports TARP, bailouts, the takeover of GM and stimulus spending and increasing the debt limit as necessary and good ideas. A man who says he will do nothing about gays in the military, etc. The man is a fricken LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE and is death to conservatism in the GOP!! Hell no I will not support him!!

We know there are going to be tens of thousands of dead voters in each state voting for Obama.

I am voting a straight R ticket to neutralize one of the fraudulent D votes.

It is the most certain way I have to fight D voter fraud.

Romney pushes his own brand of socialism.

Big government “solutions.” Mandates against the people, government control over the economy, etc.

Big government mandated “solutions” for health care, global warming, “gay rights,” “minority rights,” “women’s rights,” “dangerous guns,” jobs, the economy, everything that ails us.

Romney doesn’t believe in limited government or equality under the law for all!

Ronald Reagan: “Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem.”

Refer to enumerated powers, and powers reserved to the states and the people in the constitution!

Romney couldn’t care less about the constitution exactly like Obama! “It’s not socialism when we do it!”

Big government = socialism.

Special rights granted by government, favorable treatment under the law for special interest groups, etc, is antithetical to liberty, is unconstitutional and is socialism!

His big government “solutions” fly in the face of constitutionally limited government. He is a big government socialist and has a big government solution for every problem facing us! And the stinking RINOs will eat it up and help him push his big government agenda through. The GOP will not block “their” president.

Abiding by the constitution is a foreign concept to team Romney!!

Personally I can not pull the lever for a man for which I have such high disregard. Romney is such a slimey politician that my voting for him would feel immoral. Seriously, I’d be voting for a man who I know is a pandering liar. Therefore, I’ll pass on both and vote third party.

It’s not up to Romney but the Tea party to put the brakes on and control the narrative.

Romney is the enemy of the Tea Party. The fact that people don't understand that baffles me.

Can’t be true. Newt would never say this. He’s the only true conservative in the race. He would never, ever, ever, say anything like this.

I think this is actually from a statement by Scuzzyfavy, attributed to Newt. Or maybe it came out of Nancy Pelosi’s office. But out of Newt’s mouth? Never.

Better the white liberal republican devil people don’t want to know anything about...than the black liberal democrat devil they don’t understand.

Oh, yeah. Good times are a’ comin’. Woo, hoo.

It’s odd the most radical politician in the country is President. What a mess.

Newt will probably get banned from Free Republic

He’s got a point.

A vote for Romney cancels a vote for Obama.

Not voting doesn’t.

Simple math.

You are completely right but in for a lot of grief from the anti Romney cult.

OK, Jim, I am as anti-Romney as you are (and at least as anti-Øbozo, as well).

Aside from armed insurrection, (a non-choice) what other choice do we have?

~~~~~~~~~~

You have told us in no uncertain terms what you won't do.

Now, please tell us: What will you DO?

"Romney is such a slimey politician that my voting for him would feel immoral.

Exactly. I absolutrly believe that Romney is a Dem with an "R". But even if I where voting "D".....I still would not vote for the old-dirty-money, used-car-salesman, etch-a-sketch slease from what was once Detroit.
