Romney or Bush: Who would you prefer if you had to choose for 2016 nomination? And Why?

Posted on 01/10/2015 7:43:45 AM PST by inchworm

I'd take Romney. He seems more like he is learning, understanding, and trying to be more conservative as the years go on. Bush on the other hand is floating ideas that seem far less conservative to me as the years go on.

However, CRUZ IS MY TOP CHOICE!!! Go CRUZ!

Correction - “Is there is premise...” = “Is there a premise..”

I say load up the Primary Cattle Wagon with every single RINO we can find
and split that RINO and moderate vote so thin a true conservative will breeze right past them.

Are you of the body, brother?

Well said. We need a patriotic problem solver in the White House.

Less than a week since the backstabbing, and already the establishment is on here trying to talk up Romney and Bush.

Yes, He is the Law personified. I now have 2 subjects to keep an eye on as I read His word. Voting and spousal support after divorce. Should be interesting.

Romney is a pretty hard leftists as well, from Romney/Obama care, to giving America gay marriage, to appointing 75% non-republicans as judges when he was governor, to calling gun owners hunters of men to kill them.

“These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”

He left the GOP because of Reagan, gave his money to and fund raised for democrats, in races against republicans, fund raised and supported Planned parenthood, voted for Tsongas in 1992.

Romney was calling for a full homosexual military and gay Scout leaders, decades ago, he has been pro-abortion since 1963, he was a draft evader who left the U.S. as his father ran to be president during war time.

Put me down as a neither.

I will not vote for ANY GOPe candidate, period.

I would like to vote for Cruz. I continue to admire Palin.

However, I no longer believe that we can get our country back with a ballot. Regrettably, I think it’s over.

A poll directly from the halls of American Crossroads.

Answer: Write-in and downvote the ballot.

If either Romney or Bush get the republican nomination, Soros will be able to begin the party at the nominating conventions. They are both NWO loving, US Constitution hating socialists. Right up Soros’ alley. Anyone who votes for Hillary, Romney or Bush will be playing into Soros’ hand

Haven't you been a Romney defender since you signed up?

If you like all things phony and liberal, Romney is much more competent. After all, he single handedly got gay marriage introduced to the US. He had socialized medicine Romneycare introduced with $50 or less abortions. He’s an inveterate liar and an admitted etch a sketch who changes what he believes depending on who he happens to be addressing.

“Has it ever occurred to you that we have a ONE PARTY system running a non-stop version of Kabuki theater?”

Well, we will “test your theory” for the next two years now won’t we.

By that logic, anyone who does not vote is also playing into Soros et al’s hands ... therefore, we will continue the slide toward socialism and Islamization even quicker ... G_d help the kids ...

Oh well, attitudes like that have brought the USA Obama twice, what’s a few more?

Like I said, a catalog of people who are so particular and one-issued that they prefer socialists to nominal Republicans.

I would not call 2 years of GOP Kabuki dances, show votes and grandstanding a test.

The “real” test has already come and gone.

With Bonehead working with rats to pass the Cromibus bill.

Everything that now follows is pure theatre, nothing more.

If those were the only choices, I would most likely hold my nose and select Romney.

This would be based on the slim optimistic hope he may just have learned some hard lesson from his embarrassing loss last time around. Lessons about the need to seriously embrace the more conservative elements of the republican party (serious under vote issue) and also to not simply turn his campaign over to the Carl Rove consultancy crowd - which, among other many other dumb things, relied way too heavily upon a mega voter data base dependent communication and get-out-vote strategy (old school, costly and never really got off the ground) instead of strategies geared around exploiting social media.

You’re right. Such an odd topic. The amount of “freepers” lapping it up is disturbing.
