Don&#039;t you love how she has to always explain her posts ( when called on crap like being anti-mormon or using class envy ), and insult the reader on how stupid they are for not reading what she meant versus what she actually said?  r2b, practice better writing skills instead of insulting those who actually take the time to respond to your posts.</description>

Fred&#039;s platform was pretty close to Mitt&#039;s, they were relatively equal as far as who was more conservative.  However, Fred poked a hole in the constitution, something Mitt never did...aka supported McCain&#039;s campaign finance reform and helped get it passed.</description>

		<description>We can do better than Romney, who isn&#039;t that great anyway.

I like how when he started a year early, everyone called him a flip-flopper, then all of the sudden people start thinking he&#039;s Jesus Christ himself.

We had a true conservative in the race. His name was Fred Thompson. Every single person who said Fred was &quot;lazy&quot; and &quot;too late&quot; fell for the media mind trap- the power of suggestion.</description>

		<description>Original post (&quot;offensive&quot; parts:)

The second part is just more class warfare and rank idiocy ala John Edwards, &lt;em&gt;served in a way only r2b can provide&lt;/em&gt;.

Let me break it down: I was attacking your methodology of posting, not you personally. 

You, however:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Oh BK, you guys are so tough behind a keyboard. &lt;strong&gt;Always calling posters names&lt;/strong&gt;…knowing you don’t have to answer to anything but a written word.

[...]

 You are a &lt;strong&gt;fool&lt;/strong&gt;, you read what you want to read. But then you are a Mitt supporter so expectations can be lowered for you.
In retrospect, seeing as you are a Mitt supporter, I understand now how &lt;strong&gt;you have a problem understanding simple posts.&lt;/strong&gt;
You weren’t being mean, &lt;strong&gt;just stupid&lt;/strong&gt;…AKA a Mitt-wit.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s called civility r2b. Give it a try some time.

If you really want me to take the bait and actually insult you, two sentences will be sufficient:

I don&#039;t need to lower expectations for you. I learned long ago that you fall beneath them every time.</description>

		<description>Yes, we do have our religious bigots out in force denigrating the idea that Republican ideas should get more support, simply because they come from &quot;the Mormon.&quot;  

I don&#039;t see where any conservative should be dismissive: Romney managed to win in Massachuessetts, why wouldn&#039;t him promoting other Conservative ideas be bad?  Ah, because &quot;He&#039;s Mormon!  I&#039;d  rather be hung upside down on a bed of rusty nails and tortured by Kerry, Kennedy, and Obama jumping on my chest than ever, ever, ever hint towards anything good possibly coming from any connection to a Mormon!!!!&quot;  

Seriously, it&#039;s one thing to not like Mitt for policy reasons.  Take Hollowpoint: probably the very first anti-Mitt poster here.  But Hollowpoint, as far as I know, never once breathed out a bunch of stuff about how Mormonism is ____ (Fill in blank with smear here) like most anti-mitt posters here.</description>

Oh BK, you guys are so tough behind a keyboard.  Always calling posters names...knowing you don&#039;t have to answer to anything but a  written word.
You see, the RV was a jab at your buddy who always hollered about Fred and his red truck, and Fred&#039;s kids being on the dole...nothing about class warfare (playing the class card are we, learning from the liberals I see).  And a jab at his kids who claimed they were serving the country the same as the soldiers in Iraq by campaigning for their dad.  You may see that as being equivalent, I don&#039;t.  You are a fool, you read what you want to read.  But then you are a Mitt supporter so expectations can be lowered for you.
In retrospect, seeing as you are a Mitt supporter, I understand now how you have a problem understanding simple posts.

Here’s a hint for you Mitt…give it a rest, help the Republicans stay in power…you have never shown much support for your fellow Republicans in the past, now you can, hold off for a few months and direct your energy towards something important.
But then he does have that mostly unused RV sitting in his driveway and a few kids out of a job…
hey, maybe one of his kids will join Prof. Blather…naaaawww

You do realize the entirety of your first statement applies to both Maverick and &quot;Shiite Republicans&quot; Huckabee as well, right?

The second part is just more class warfare and rank idiocy ala John Edwards, served in a way only r2b can provide.</description>

		<description>This is exactly the route Mitt should take to make him 2012 nominee.  Can&#039;t wait to see what other things he comes up with.  As for Hickabee, maybe he can produce some new movies on promoting religious bigotry.

		<description>Huckabee&#039;s best bet would be to stay in the public eye.  As much as I disagree with him, I can&#039;t deny he&#039;s a charismatic and well-spoken guy.

Honestly, I hope he avoids the cable-show route.  There are too many of those to really stand out.  If he&#039;s serious about his conversion on immigration reform, I think he&#039;d make a good RNC chair.</description>

		<description>If Romney can help mobilize a successful conservative counterattack in the Congress+state legs+governorships, then he&#039;ll be sitting pretty for &#039;12.

Romney + Jindal + wave of successful conservative electoral victories == Unstoppable force in 2012.

The next four years are about reeducating the American electorate on the necessity of conservative fiscal/foreign policy. The culture war can be fought independently of those two, though synergy among the three is entirely possible (indeed likely) if needed. A backdrop of bungling policy and incompetence on the part of a Democrat Oval Office will help to make that a reality, though it&#039;s a sickening thought that we&#039;d be surviving (literally) in the meantime on the bureaucratic inertial forces set into motion by BushCo.</description>

		<description>He can&#039;t win southern states, get over it. There are many others to pin hopes on for 2016 not 2012, you better hope McCain wins. New judges that the dems put in can&#039;t be replaced. Judges on the court can often be more important than who is president. Think of it gun rights, abortion etc.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Other Republicans close to Romney said that Romney was looking for ways to position himself as the &lt;strong&gt;ideas factory&lt;/strong&gt; for the Republican party over the next four years, contributing policy to John McCain, if he’s in the White House, or to Republicans in Congress, if McCain is not.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This just occurred to me - Didn&#039;t Newt set himself up as an &lt;strong&gt;ideas factory&lt;/strong&gt; with his &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.americansolutions.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;American Solutions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;?  I wonder what Newt thinks of this move - will he welcome it?</description>

		<description>Mike Huckabee&#039;s campaign weblog is &lt;a href=&quot;http://tinyurl.com/26t6gs&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;still chugging along&lt;/a&gt; promoting that media whore. I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if he doesn&#039;t shut it down and keeps it going for a 2012 run (assuming McCain loses).</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Didn’t do him much good last time. Second time’s a charm?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You don&#039;t quit when you fail. You lean from the failure and try again.</description>

		<description>Romney has the ability and credibility to raise money.  Granted, he spent a lot of his money as well, but you never heard of his campaign red-lining.  Before his early departure, he was out-raising all the other R&#039;s.  He&#039;ll do a good job getting not only McCain some much needed caysh, but he&#039;ll get some money for the undercard as well.  McCain has been lackluster in his fundraising, Romney will help fill in the gaps.</description>

		<description>Hey look more sandbagging from AP on Romney too bad he is not intelligent enough to actually research anything. What would be his change on immigration? Not to allow state troopers to detain illegals?

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,236278,00.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Romney Allows Massachusetts State Troopers to Detain Illegals&lt;/a&gt; (FOXNews)

Oh wait what was his change on Abortion? Oh he said he would not change the status quo when running for Governor but never voted in favor of abortion once? Interesting how bad AP wants to lie about Romney.</description>

		<description>AP thanks for bringing us the update. It will be great to see &quot;whatever became of...&quot; posts from time to time. I have big hopes for Mitt Romney.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;it’ll be interesting to watch whether and how, assuming the political landscape shifts left (which is likely no matter who wins in the fall), Mitt recaptures some of the “nuance” of his previous, more centrist positions on those issues.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Don&#039;t count on it.</description>
