The Washington Republican insiders and consultants, who are velcroed on to Governor Romney -- such as Saul, Stevens and Schriefer -- readily accept the liberal premises upon which Obama and the establishment media want to frame the campaign. Romney’s advisors are certainly much more comfortable attacking conservatives and defending establishment Republicans, like Crist and Hatch, than they are at crafting winning conservative alternatives to Obama’s disastrous liberal agenda.

And Obama, and the MSM, and the Libs, and the Dem Party . . shall I go on?

We live too much in this bubble. Most Americans don’t think the way we Conservatives think. Most Americans don’t think the way Liberals think. We can cling and hope and pray that Rasmussen isn’t an outlier when every single poll has this from a solid win to landslide for Obama, getting excited when someone says something we believe ... or we can realize we are a minority, doomed to eternal minority status if we ever again listen to the GOP elite about whom to nominate and how to run OUR Party.

We will never, ever gain a wider acceptance of Conservative values through sheer force of will and wishful thinking.

Crist is a pro-abortion rino who almost ran as a democrat, but chose “unaffiliated” instead.....against Marco Rubio.

Any way we can make Ryan the presidential candidate and RINOmney the VP?

That way, we can put RINOmney somewhere that he can not prove that he is simply Obama lite.

RINOmney is a vapid dork.

Which, I guess, is slightly better than the Obamaloon, who is a talentless, lying, felonious, cretinistic vapid dork.

“Some of Governor Romney’s most influential staff are veterans of Florida’s liberal Republican turncoat former Governor Charlie Crist’s campaign.”

Oh sh*t.

IOW, Paul Ryan is window dressing -- "to fool the bubbas" (if that's the expression)?

Seem like a typical Romney trick, but I don't think Paul Ryan knows it -- yet.

Please...give this a break. McCain chose Palin, why didn't Romney do it?, there are no conservatives in Mitt's camp blah blah blah crapolla harping nonsense.......

Palin, despite a gargantuan pleading (from me also who swore to donate by credit card often and largely if she declared anything) from supporters chose to demur and settle her personal goals whatever they are.

Pick this man's campaign apart in it nascent reprise with a new conservative running mate. Pick it apart. Harp on the ‘could haves’ the “we can't accept anything less than ideological purity” and give this election to Obama on bended frickin’ knee.

I am so tired of this. I'm not saying I agree with everything Romney has to offer and I don't post Pro-Romney spew like some on the religion thread post against him, but I damned sure know what I'll get with Obama in the next 4 years. If you guys, the mod, or Jim Robinson want to ban me for saying it, then do it.

It is one thing to oppose an ideological opponent against your ethic. It is another to give it all way to an opponent even more committed to your destruction. I'm not gonna head into a 15th year here listenng about Dictator Obama if I can help it.

Romney may be liberal, but he is also smarter than McCain. I know, everyone is smarter than McCain, but Romney knows how to make smart business decisions.

If Romney is elected, hope he runs the country like any successful business executive would. Bring in the best minds that understand finances, like Board of Directors. Forget appointing political cronies. Help to bring businesses back both small and big and then start laying off the excess of government workers and eliminate departments.

I haven’t seen anyone banned for saying they are an ABO so they’ve decided to support Romney. Nor are they banned for posting pro-Romney threads, making pro-Romney comments, etc.

The only ones I’ve seen banned are those who violate the truce and make personal attacks against those who are not ABOs.

I fully understand the logic of an ABO. I used the same thing with McCain. Romney, however, was too much for me. That doesn’t make either of us traitors. That just places us in disagreement over the right decision regarding Romney.

Seems you got it exactly backwards as to who is co-opting whom.

Romney: Ryan and I are on the same page with our budgets
