“Nice! The country is ‘burning down’ from a Socialist arsonist and people are actually thinking of ‘staying home’ on account of a ‘Chick-Fil-A’ fight the RATs started. Why don’t these people just pack up and leave all together, and leave those of who WANT TO REALLY FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY AGAINST THE SOCIALISTS GET TO WORK!”

Agreed! All of you who say you’re not going to vote for Romney because he doesn’t perfectly toe the conservative line are fools! Total, utter fools! If you don’t cast a vote AGAINST the lying Kenyan usurper, by pulling the lever FOR Romney, you are anti-American. Period.

So you'll stay home? To hell with down ballot races? Smells like hypocrisy to me...

If you don’t make a choice the choice will make you....

Thanks for the support. What you see here is actually the type of thinking that got so many conservatives votes split in the primaries and why we got Romney in the first place. Now these same people are GOING TO STAY HOME because they don’t have the ‘candidate’ that they want (... and forget about the ‘real enemy’ - it’s all about the ‘pure’ candidate).

It’s like fighting a fire to keep the house from burning down, and someone doesn’t want to help because the ‘water hose’ is not the ‘ideal’ water hose!

Fricking Unreal!!!

If you are choosing to vote for the liberal Romney, go right ahead.
I do not vote for liberals, whether they have a D or R after their name.
Romney was pushed on us by the GOPe, and cowards in the Republican party that did not vote for conservatives because they fell for the lie “only Romney can beat Obama”.

First Romney has to at least acknowledge the conservative base even exists and the Tea Party is real to get the vote out. He isn't going to get the vote of people he acts embarrassed of. He is one stupid Yankee, lacks conviction. The sheeple see that.

Democrats get their base to vote because they embrace their base, not eschew them.

Oh, come on. He is not. A little too calculating of a politician for me but he must figure there is very little to help him here, and a whole lot that can hurt him. And there are a whole lot of issues where that’s the case. He’s choosing to focus like a laser beam on the economy because he calculates that’s all he NEEDS.

You’re either going to do all you can and support the fight against the Socialists, or you might as well be ‘dead wood’ in this fight come November!!!

Since Romney's record makes him out to be a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, that fight would include voting for someone else, a conservative.

Gingrich was my choice too.

Now we are stuck with Obama light.

Thanks to Rick Santorum, who gets to speak at the convention as his reward for knocking Gingrich out.

If you’re that interested in changing the democrats then you’ll need to start voting for the democrats.

I’m actually interested in fixing the GOP and not interested in doing what your master says. Face it, little Mitty is a disaster and it doesn’t matter how desperate you are to blame someone else. Your chances were better with McCain than they’ll ever be with Romney and that’s just the way it is.

No, it's like trying to fight a fire with a hose with no water, you're not going to put the fire out, you'll just spend a lot of effort to watch the same outcome.

I would take a plant from the Democrats over the imbecile in there now.

I don’t like the fact that Romney...

- Is a mormon (yeah, I said it)
- Has some shady business stuff (who has offshore accounts?)
- Pushed for RomneyCare (as Santorum said, why would anybody think this guy is the one to challenge ObamaCare?)
- Doesn’t have any balls. If we could take Newt’s and somehow transplant them to Mitt, this election would be over with by October.

This election is a fight for the soul of America. The enemy sappers are inside the wire,and we have individuals who are concerned with the “purity” of the firebase commander who is leading the counterattack? Unreal!

I’ve been here at FreeRepublic for a very long time, and I thought I understood how we think here, our ideals, how we feel about America. If we don’t excise the cancer in the WH, we won’t have America as we once knew her. Not voting for Mitt Romeny is the same as voting for the lying Kenyan usurper who squats in OUR White House.

It is painful to behold; but hardly unexpected. 'Common Wisdom' - which should have been revised when Bill Clinton was elected - holds still, to 'make nice' and do not rock the boat; as if those 'outside the beltway' can neither appreciate; nor understand; authentic Leadership.

There is a travesty being committed in the name of Republicans and the 'good' citizens America. We have a Party, whose Leadership supports our Military; proudly sends them to defend America on our behalf; while they, themselves, cower in the face of the greatest evil to threaten our nation.

More than a travesty; their abdication of duty and Leadership - their cowardice to name the 'elephant in the room' (or, more to point, the 'donkey' - is a treason committed against America.

An altogether, pathetic history being written. . .

It is understandable that Bill would say this - he is a great guy and I am a member of his Catholic League. Nevertheless, the truth is we won't be voting FOR Romney, but AGAINST Obama so this doesn't mean much. Besides CFA Day was actually a nationwide TEA party rally. The TEA party has one goal and it is defeating Obama.

Nonsense.

“We the People” have this issue well in hand - Romney doesn’t have to try to get out in front of “his mob.” His cause, and ours, is best served by him doing nothing.

Now if we could only get him to roll back his statement on the Boy Scouts of America to “They are a private organization and may do as they see fit.”

Of all the candidates in running for the GOP Romney was only ahead of Ron Paul in my book...
I had every intention of not voting for him as I am sick and tired of the GOP forcing me to choose from real bad to just plain bad... It is still bad...
But the damage that Obama is doing to my grandkids future was starting to outweigh my revulsion. But Romney keeps trying to piss me off on a weekly basis. He keeps this up and he can KMA.

I agree that it would be good for Romeny to acknowledge the Tea Party and conservative base. He surely isn’t stupid, although he is a Yankee. He is a far cry from the socialist disaster that occupies the White House, however.

Well the idiot blew the 94 elections against Teddy after being double digits ahead in the early polls

C'mon... we're talking MA here... even though it was the wave year of 1994, he was up against Dead Kennedy. You don't defeat Kennedys in MA. The fact he flushed Dead out of Hyannisport to even campaign was rather eyebrow-raising.
