I have to wonder if all the Romney haters on this site were the same people who ran home to mom when they lost at games as kids. I did not vote for Romney in the primaries. If you asked anyone that knows me, they would say I am right of Reagan. What I don't understand is all of you that love this country,which I truly believe you do, that are willing to not vote for Romney and potentially allow this country to fail by re-electing Obama!, how does that make sense?
Romney never, ever would even win a honorable mention in a conservative beauty show. This is abundantly clear. He is only “conservative” in any sense relative to Barack Obama. Barack truly came out of nothingness, while Mitt has been busy governing — we know far, far more about Mitt.
I think people, consternated at the very poor choice available this November (if things go as expected in Tampa), are confusing two issues. Which of two bad politicians, each of which have more than a snowball’s chance of winning, is going to pose the least difficulty to America’s recovering some sense of what it used to be, the spirit in which it was founded. I think the vital question is being mischaracterized from that to the question of what would be the best way for America’s conservative side to keep its short term dignity intact.
So, hater of Conservatives.
Let me know how well telling us you moderates don’t need us and then bullying us about it works out for you.
If you don’t need Conservatives, I’m sure your plan of going further left will work out for you, right?
“Principles in the voting booth are for children! “
Are you freakin’ goofy or did you forget the sarcasm tag????
GREAT!
Keep praying.
God bless and keep you, dear pal!
Indeed.
Look at us! We never fight. Much... ;-)
I'd like to address this specifically, confessing I don't truly understand how that could be. Romney was busy giving lefty Massachusetts more or less what it had asked for. Obama didn't then proceed to beam into Massachusetts and give them more; he wished these kinds of things, largely extra-constitutionally (meaning outside the constitution) on the entire Ewe Essay, under the cover of a party-owned Senate which would never, ever be willing to convict him under an impeachment. Massachusetts didn't play any role in making any of the other 49 more willing to dork around with such things, as far as I can see.
And to call Romney a "last hope" mischaracterizes what is under consideration and debate here. He's a smaller hole in the boat than Obama. Given that bailers are needed no matter what, why not at least make their job less difficult. Give the real "last hopes" a better chance.
Do you think that beating up on me is going to change my mind?
Are you saying that pre-pubescent, sophmoric school yard bully tactics won’t sway support for a gun grabbing, baby killing RINO?
The author of this thread is gonna be mighty disappointed!
‘dog is a real old timer, which is probably the only reason why he hasn’t gotten zotted for this attack which sounds a lot like something with which one juvenile delinquent might taunt another one. Such an attitude is filled, of course, with hypocrisy. No matter what question it was about, even if it was whether the sky is blue or orange.
But it still managed to raise discussion that, perhaps, can help two camps of Freepers come to at least civil terms with one another even if they don’t agree on what to do about Mitt.
B/S. RomneyCare was Romney’s brainchild. He still brags about it today!! Blinded by a socialist saviour is no way to go through life.
IIRC, he had to move back here to run here . . . do you suppose there's a reason he found MA such a congenial state to run in?
Goodbye, you lying statist troll!
I will personally NEVER enter into discussion with the CLownPosse, they have NOTHING to add to any discussion.
No more than you desire the Republican party to move hard left.

Looks like you hit the bridge too far with Mr. Jim and ran his patience out, ‘coon.
It’s well documented that Mitt bragged about Romneycare, that it ought to be a pattern for the rest of the country. If the other 49 (or even a lot of them) followed suit, this would of course kill the golden goose of American medical care, a golden goose that was not just enriching America but the whole world.
It’s also true that once Obamacare became Federal law, Mitt soon condemned it. I think he recognized a Frankenstein’s monster when one was created. But he’s never apologized for Massachusetts. Who knows what his alternate plan might be, and he’s been hinting about one. It wouldn’t help a whole lot to abolish Obamacare only to put in place some ungodly Federal incentive for states to mimic Romneycare.
which sounds a lot like something with which one juvenile delinquent might taunt another one. Such an attitude is filled, of course, with hypocrisy.
Perhaps instead of taunting those not in lockstep with the establishment, such energies would better serve if focused on voter fraud.
The city of my birth consistantly enjoys over 100% voter turn out and overwhelmingly supports the left.
While serving overseas, I learned the democrats released a trifold pamphlet describing ways to disallow overseas military ballots.
More recently, we’ve had cowardly racist thugs intimidating voters at polling places.
Did the GOP establisment take any actions to oppose these practices? I’ve heard of efforts at the local level, such as Florida trying to purge the dead and imprisoned from the rolls. Unfortunately, the GOP elite won’t risk offending their friends across the aisle.
Perhaps shoedog would gain more support if he aimed his vitriol at his RINO masters.
Your trolling FR with throwaway accounts is not appreciated. I wouldn’t try it again if I were you, you freaking socialist pushing, lying, two-bit troll.
A publication about how to neuter the military vote... while this is certainly understandable from the raw unprincipled political point of view (far fewer servicemen vote Rat than Pub) it would be dynamite shame on the Rats for the GOP to release a copy of that nationally. A bit expurgated, of course, so as not to reveal the actual tricks.
The Democrat controlled congress in Mass. served at Romney's pleasure? What planet did you just arrive from?
” ...Party elites who will only give us RINO candidates ...
Party elites don’t give us a thing. We do it to ourselves.
There were several viable conservative options in the 2012 GOP primary season. Conservative voters could not or would not find a single conservative candidate to rally around. And no single conservative candidate was willing to step aside to allow those voters to coalesce around another conservative candidate.
We split our votes. GOP-e took full advantage of that. But no one can say conservatives didn’t bring it on ourselves.
