“The RIGHT MAN: WRITE IN ROMNEY” campaign!

The Republican machine stinks–it almost seems as if the nomination was promised to McCain long ago and there determined to cram it through.

CONSERVATISM IS DEAD.

Yeh, yeh, it’s that kind of thinking that gets you McRINO for a candidate.
Tell me CHEEZY ONE, do you spend much time thinking before you open your mouth?

I am seriously getting tired of AP’s anti-Romney propaganda as I continued to research everything you brought up on him and found nothing outside his PUBLIC change in abortion politics (he has always been personally against abortion), the rest being word context issues which you rabidly exploited to further sandbag him. March with MLK? Right I would take Romney’s dad walking out on the GOP convention over civil rights issues over any out of context BS you would bring up about him.

Romney is the most intelligent GOP candidate, the best on the economy, the best with REAL family values that he lives everyday, a man who does not drink or smoke and the best overall on all the issues. The guy is a walking role model of what the GOP wishes it was unlike that moron McCain.

Fall in line my ass, for what? Amnesty? Carbon Taxes? Possible Vetoes against future tax cuts or closing Gitmo? Oh that’s right he is not Hillary. Go sell your BS to someone who cares. Try doing some damn research in the future instead of sandbagging the ones you don’t like.

Yes it was blatantly obvious. At least talk radio finally got it and you still don’t.

Conservatives should be willing to confront reality as it is, not as they wish it were.

Play your tune anyway you wish. Try scare tactics [Hillary]. Talk about calming down. Tell me to get in line. It just won’t work because I Refuse To Submit!

Mitt cut his losses so he could focus on something like this.

he needs to make speaches, write op eds and be very visual and very specific about his positions. The next two years will be a mess no matter who is president and we can only hope it will lead to a big conservative win in 2010. He can campaign for conservative legislaters and put a team in congress ready for him in 2012.

Is our bench so thin for 2012 that conservatives have to coalesce now around someone who flamed out literally minutes before?

Dude, Romney stood ZERO chance of winning the nomination and you, I, and everyone in that room knew it. Mitt cut his losses so he could focus on something like this. Why should he continue a fruitless slapfight with Huck and McCain when pulling out essentially removes Huckabee from the race and removes his delegates for VP leverage in a single sweeping blow?

Romney may not have won the nomination, but he certainly outplayed Huck and put himself in a better position than McCain insofar as conservatives AND the GOP are concerned.

Are we assuming this country will be around in 2012?

barry wins the suicide bombing will begin in short order and he will look around for someone to apologize to. You people in New York better buy flak jackets and helmets.

Pawlenty

I used to like him before he drank the gore kool aid. He’s another talk conservative/govern liberal dude.

Conservatives should be willing to confront reality as it is, not as they wish it were.

Even Mitt is a CFR guy.

I am SO tired of hearing that when it’s not true.

Mitt isn’t a CFR member (whereas McCain is). Yes I know Weld supports him but Weld also claims to be a supply side groupie, so he probably supports Mitt for that reason. Romney blocked illegals from getting tuition and licences in MA and had Dr. Kobach as an adviser, in stark contrast to Hernandez, for example.

Mitt hasn’t shown that he’s beholden to the CFR AT ALL, and his actions back that up.

I think Mitt taking the mantle and spreading the word is spot on. The reason the party has moved left is because we don’t have an articulate leader who can get the message out and make it relevant to people. Mitt could do that and as a bonus, confirm his bona fides with conservatives who have reservations.

Jindal, who is great, has a state to run. I do worry a little that if he ran in 2012 straight away, he’d be decried as inexperienced. But then I thought that people would think Obama had no experience and here we are, two years into his Senate career and he leads the Dem delegate totals. Unbelievable.

CONSERVATISM IS DEAD.

THE CHOSEN ONE on February 11, 2008 at 6:29 PM

Hmm… I guess I missed the election where you were appointed GOD, Chosen One. You are an example of the problem; liberals in the GOP have lured other libs into the party, who now want it to be… a liberal party.

We’ve already got one of those.

Jindal, Palin, Sanford, Pawlenty, Barbour, Cornyn, DeMint, Santorum, Steele, Watts, Hensarling, Pence, etc, etc, etc. Let’s vet them and recruit them now. Why be passive? Why wait for someone to rise to the top naturally when we can be proactive? The party elite are always going to choose unacceptable compromise candidates or guys whose “turn” it is. We need some grassroots mojo for 2012!

Need I remind everyone that our next candidates need to be queued up and ready to run as early as 2010? Sounds like Mitt and maybe Huck are already running for 2012. We can’t wait to recruit a real conservative and great campaigner until 2011, or it will be too late.

Yes, we need to be talking about 2012 already. No, Mitt’s not The One.

campaign at his leisure.

Heh. Good one.

Is our bench so thin for 2012 that conservatives have to coalesce now around someone who flamed out literally minutes before?

Are the RINOs so powerful in 2008 that we have to settle for the moonbat droppings put forth by the Rudy/McCain extremists? Our best shot is ceding this year to the anti-Christian left and work at fielding a legitimate Republican in 2012 without the shrill intolerant RINOs.

For historical perspective, imagine what the Dems were saying just moments after Obama gave his ‘big speech’ that garnered him such acclaim at the last Dem Convention. Did ‘they’ pull him aside and say ‘will you drink the Kool-Aid, Mr. Obama?’

Everyone who wants to be prez has to drink the Kool-Aid. Even Mitt is a CFR guy.
