Do Conservatives Have a Seat at Romney's Table?
None | July 4, 2012 | Self

Posted on 07/04/2012 5:48:25 AM PDT by Jess Kitting

Romney seems to have a "tin ear" when it comes to listening to conservative views.

Since it is nearly impossible to mount a successful campaign against him now and come up with another viable candidate who can win in the November election, we need to be sure that our voices are heard and heeded by the Romney campaign.

Question: Do conservatives have someone in Romney's inner circle who can influence him and make sure he sticks up for our values? Is there anyone from FreeRepublic who can represent us and our concerns on his team?

How can we get a seat at Romney's table and insure that our voices are heard and our values upheld?

I pray daily that we do not meet that fate... but it does not look good at this point in time.

In November we have to vote for a liberal to save us from a Marxist. Makes about as much sense as anything these days.

Since the conventions have not been held for either party, we have no idea who will be nominated. We can guess, but we do not know.

Yes. On a platter, with apples stuffed in our mouths. Expect as much love as he showed to the unborn of Massachusetts.

Here is part of a post from this morning that was in response to a similar post by another ABO voter. I hope you read it in the spirit in which is was written. I also hope that you pay close attention to the part about mitch mcconnell... I think that your feeling better about obamacare being overturned is just a bit premature. A Leopard cannot change its spots to stripes and a progressive republican cannot change his or her ideology... they are what they are because that is who they are.

“I despise obama... I try hard not to hate because I know it is wrong to hate and it hurts me more than those I despise so I am trying hard not to allow hatred into my heart. This trend of associating the distrust and outright dislike of what the gop/e has become and how they treat us and how they lie and obfuscate... how any means justifies the end that THEY WANT... and their hand picked and manufactured candidate romney and all of his progressive ideology and past governing record... is somehow showing support for obama... must stop.

Do you truly believe that you can change the mind of anyone on FR by insulting and accusing those of us on the right by using the same exact same tactics that the gop/e has so angered the base with? Do you think that you can convince anyone that you are correct by denigrating and accusing those on the right with some clandestine or misguided plan to reelect obama?

I despise romney ALMOST as much as I do obama. I have seen nothing in the man in the last three weeks that would change my mind... in fact... all that I see are actions and words... or refusal to make even a comment on a controversial subject... that backup my fear and loathing of the man and the gop/e. mitch mcconnell said yesterday that he didn't think that the gop could ever repeal obamacare! Have you EVER heard any dim leader say anything like that? Have you ever heard any dim leader speak to reaching across the aisle and compromising their ideology or political agenda? Even one single time?”

You know the Whole thing is Romney vs Obama.

I remember how all the freepers wanted anybody but Romney (I was one of them),But Romney won anyways.

I know that America needs to get rid of ObamaCare.

I see how anti Romney some freepeers are and I realize that how irrelevant they and this site can be when they have their heads in the sand, and,

Romney has a better chance of winning with out the freepers help.

So I now feel better about getting Repealing ObamaCare.

Most Americans will vote just the opposite as the anti Romney freepers thought.

Keep up your reasons not to support Romney.

People will reject the insanity,

And by the way It’s the economy stupid,

Not in the heads in the sand conservative babble.

“As my tagline says, the next president is going to be a liberal. - (We will have a liberal president. We don’t have to have a liberal congress.)”

That is a splendid tagline.

“Do Conservatives Have a Seat at Romney’s Table?”

Probably not.

But they remain “within shouting distance”, and their voices can be raised.

Whether the “collective voice of conservatism” can be raised loudly enough so as to influence policy in a Romney administration, remains to be seen....

Shirley your joking! The one we have now is not a liberal. He's a globalist serving commie fascist who is too stupid to realize his work destroys ‘his people’ as much as it ends the Republic. He's a puppet on a string, a racist affirmative action promotion with illicit credentials, zero experience in management, a hidden past which when revealed will prove he is a criminal usurper, not even an American citizen by birth, a crack whore to homos with a rock, and a sexual degenerate himself. You would equate the liberal American Romney with such a criminal sonofabitch? That's Hugh and series. Shirley you guest.

FRiend, just posting a URL brings on the attacks
and ad hominem from the ill minds of Team Romney.
So invested are they to both DEATH PANELS
and MORE-TAXES(but called 'fees') that logic,
commonsense, and decency hover light-centuries
beyond their reach.

Amen......

Time, effort, money must be directed to battles that can be won. It is the duty of conservatives to make an assessment of Senate candidates in need of support and pick one. The time effort and money should be directed to that candidate even if he/she is across the country some where.

Carping about Romney at this point is a futile and infantile effort.

Only if you give up all of your principles.

Of course, then you're not a conservative any more. Not in any real sense.

Yes, I was attacked once for a simple youtube link to Romney’s own statement that he is who he is and he is not going to change that. That really says it all, that simple recitation or presentation of fact is considered an attack.

No, I will not vote for that pos, traitorous, racist, marxist, kenyan muzzie... and do not try to equate distrust of romney as support for obama. You will not influence anyone with that line of disingenuous attack. In fact... you may accomplish just the opposite. I understand your argument... I used to believe in it... but we just disagree. I will no longer lie to myself just because I want to so badly believe in the lies.

I am supporting conservative Candidates and I am sending money to truly Conservative PACS... and I helped to defeat lugar doing so. I can do all of these things and still find time to tell the truth about romney. I am not going to stop telling the truth and if he is elected... I will continue to tell the truth about him... and if he governs as most of us expect that he will... and as every single shred of evidence in the man's past life would indicate... I will work hard to deny him another nomination.

If he proves me wrong and governs according to the Constitution and in a meaningful way... shrinks the size and power of the Federal government and puts America back on the path of Constitutional governance... I will apologize to him and support him. That is about as likely as bill clinton admitting that he is a leftist gigolo who raped women for pleasure and destroyed the lives of his opponents... just because he could.

Mr. RomneyCARE has NO chance of winning.

NONE.

ZERO.

THAT is why he was chosen by the DNC and Soros and Obama.

Romney IS THE Chosen LOSER.

and he should pull out now ... and gain respect.
