Mitt Romney Will Do Just Fine, Thank-You [insulting the intelligence of the base is madness]

The upcoming election will be one of the simplest of our lifetimes. It is defined by one axiom: Obama must be defeated.

[HUGE SNIP of must-read article]

So let us put away all thoughts of strife and disagreement. All wishful thinking and illusions. The real world beckons. There is no place for the ideal in this conflict. We will have other and better opportunities. For good or ill, Romney is the man of the hour. The only thing of importance is to defeat Obama and everything he stands for. The polls, the shifting attitudes of the country as a whole, and the stark fear arising among the progressives suggest that Romney can do the job. Lets us gird our loins and go amongst them.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Obama MUST be defeated but writers like Dunn, working overtime to insult conservatives, must be mad to continue rubbing salt into primary wounds and to downplay Obama's power to ruin the country.

How do writers who continue to write nasty remarks about the other candidates believe this will improve the base's mood and have them work for Romney?

[Biggirl]

The answer is that in the eyes of this author, the base will end up becomeing “ABO” or “anybody but Obama” folks.

Im making a prediction,tho I hope im wrong.Even if Romney wins,nothing will change,America will still fail because of gutless republicans.If it does fail because of gutless republicans,democrats will rightfully blame republicans.Then we lost twice as much.I see no other result.Please someone prove me wrong.

He knows exactly how hard to strike, where, and how many times, with the precision and finesse of a 17th-century samurai.

If it is so important, you do it. I have better things to do than watch another Dole/McCain fiasco. (build an ark, fer instance)

[wastoute]

You have it in a nutshell...

Romney may be a leftist Republican, but I think that (unlike Obama), he loves America and wants to do what’s best for our country. Also, he has strong experience running businesses, and I think he’ll cut real unemployment in half within a year of his inauguration (from 20% underemployment to 10%).

[2ndDivisionVet]

So Romney is a clean-living 21st Century Nixon with good hair? A corporate raider versus a community organizer? Happy day!

[Psalm 144]

Statism must me defeated. Debauchery must be defeated. Economic coercion and fraud must be defeated. The culture of death must be defeated. No matter who is the standard carrier for these things, that malefactor must be defeated.

[cripplecreek]

Agreed.

I got an invite to Lord Mitt’s speech at Lansing community college on Tuesday. I hate to say it but I think Michigan’s governor will be his VP pick and he’s nothing but Al Gore with a GOP tag.

[Biggirl]

History repeats itself.

[fieldmarshaldj]

NO to Willard. Period.

The only thing of importance is to defeat Obama and everything he stands for.

We(tea party) defeated Obama in 2010. What did the Republicans do? They stabbed in the back the very movement that put them in power to stop Obama. I don't see much to celebrate if Romney wins.

[Psalm 144]

“I hate to say it but I think Michigan’s governor will be his VP pick and he’s nothing but Al Gore with a GOP tag.”

Perfectly matched then.

[katiedidit1]

' All this does not make him a conservative, but it does make him formidable. In simple truth, an actual conservative would have a hard time coming to grips with Obama. The entire Democratic/progressive/media machine is primed to annihilate such a candidate, who would spend all of this time defending himself with no chance to strike at Obama. Under these less-than-perfect circumstances, Mitt Romney is as close to a perfect candidate as we are going to get."

So Dunn admits Romney is not a conservative but he is formidable. A true conservative could not beat Obama? is this what the GOP has come down to? so long as we have a watered down republican that is fine with them.

Which "he"? Michigan's governor, or Mitt Romney? Vague antecedent.

So which guy are you comparing to Al Gore?

Oh, and yeah -- barf!

[Prospero]

Yes, I don’t need flowers and sunshine pumped up my fundament, or to be talked off the ledge, to vote to deny the Usurper further time to destroy our civilization’s future.

[Venturer]

Judging from what I read here, most Republicans in Free Republic will vote for Obama.

I suppose they like the status quo.

Staying home or voting for anyone but Romney pretty much assures an Obama victory.

Forward.
