Santorum Withdrawal Sentences G.O.P. to Mitt Romney

If you had super hearing in the vicinity of the White House today you’d certainly hear sighs of relief, inauguration committees ordering stationery and the dull impact of endless fist bumps.

Why? Because Rick Santorum just took himself out of the presidential race, leaving Mitt Romney the obvious Republican candidate facing President Obama.


That would be the same Mitt Romney who trails the president 44% to 51% in the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll, mostly because he’s as bloodless as a turnip and is just about as committed to conservative ideals.

Offered the chance to take back the White House if they could just disprove the notion that they are a cabal of rich Easterners without guts or backbone, Republicans will now nominate the author of a vast Massachusetts health bureaucracy who says he hates vast health bureaucracies and whose wife “drives a couple of Cadillacs.”

Super.

We will. The alternative is too scary.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

i WILL EVEN THOUGH i DON'T LIKE HIM, MUCH LIKE i DID mCcAIN IN 08.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Republicans will support Romney as he is clearly the better choice. He may not be as conservative as most Republicans would like but he is a whole lot more conservative than Obama.

I think everybody realizes just how much damage Obama could do in a second term and they are not going to take their ball and go home and not play because their candiate didn't win.

Just the judicial appointments alone that Obama will have an opportunity to make in a second four year term should be enough to motivate Republicans to get behind Romney.

It is goofy to look at poll numbers taken during a bitter Republican primary where the Repubs were killing each other rhetorically, essentially doing the dems work for them. Of course during that climate and where no money is being spent pointing out Obama's bad record Obama is going to come out on top.

Once the Repubs are united behind Romney for a couple of months and the Repub party and Super Pacs turn the focus on Obama, THEN lets see what the polling shows to get a more realistic picture of where we stand.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

I will vote for Romney, but I won't support him - won't give a dime to the RNC.

His offshore investments are not fully known because his campaign is utilizing an obscure exception in federal ethic laws (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politi...mxS_story.html).

Now why does that remind me of Jeff Immelt of G.E.? :hmmm

Romney is the GOP's control boy. It's all about the status quo.

The facts don't change - he is like Obama.

WORD!!! :D

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Good grief. Romney?

Keep on believing the media lies and persuasion. Big government, either side of the aisle, is a dangerous thing...

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

No it's not.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

President Obama cannot do much without the support of Congress.

Our forefathers set up our country this way so that baseless fear-mongering over one person would be just that-- baseless.

A Stern Warning to the “Conservative Elites” about Mitt Romney

Through their silence, the elites are assisting a political cancer that has profound consequences for our children and grandchildren.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

You are wrong about Romney, he will be a very good president. The primary is for all practical purposes over, it is time to united behind the winner. Focus on his strong points and stop the bickering. This bickering over McCain put BO in the White House, so stop it already. LOL!!!

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

I'm not going to stop until he gets all of his delegates. And then I will neither post for or against him. Be patient. We have to do our part on the vetting. :heeheehee

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

And, BTW, it was ironic that the RNC called me today for a donation. I told them that they had to be freaking kidding me and that they have shoved Romney down our throats and I will not support the RNC! Then I hung up on them. Whew!! Glad to get that off my chest! :bliss

And you ought to see the fight we are in with FoxNews. :toofunny We are pushing them into a corner for their bias. We've pushed them so hard, O'Reilly is addressing it on his show. So funny to see Bret Baier and Brit Hume whining while calling Newt a whiner for telling the truth. Hahahahahahahahahahaha! You gotta love it! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Man, I have some fun friends in the political world. I am woman, hear me roar!!! LOL!

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Notice Fox and their bias calls her a "Newt Groupie".

Flora, Flora, Flora!!!! :cheer

And my link for today - because - the title of this thread is - "Why won't Republicans get behind Romney?"

Well, since you asked...

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Crakjak, I am also wondering why Santorum and Perry are saying they will run in 2016. You don't normally run against your own party.

Are they also expecting a loss in November? :hmmm

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Most likely they are. I'm not sure Romney can beat Obama. Hope he can, but I have my doubts.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

I also have my doubts. The reason being is that Santorum was and is right, voting for Romney is getting the same thing as Obama, so what difference does it make who wins? They are very closely aligned, if you study, on policy. I wish people could get that. It's very important.

It is my opinion that the Republican Party is not conservative anymore and the GOP has chosen this opportunity to push a more liberal candidate on us using the fear that Obama might get four more years.

If a loss causes the party to restructure, then it can only be a good thing. We are getting nowhere fast with where the Party stands today. Status quo will not change or make our country better.

Men who are not afraid to voice their opinion and don't stand on political correctness like - Newt, Gov. Perry, Allen West, Gov Jindal - are what we need.

God help the USA.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

It's "Progressives" in both parties that are killing this country.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

I agree!! :thumbsup

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

...which is why someone like Ron Paul (or someone with nearly similar ideas) needs to be elected, as well as a Congress and Senate who will support someone like him...

The two-party back-and-forth fingerpointing non-sense won't impress or pursuade an independent like myself to vote for whoever the media/sheeple push. America is in a sad state now and will be until the "jacks" and the "fats" can get their act together...

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Unfortunately an "outsider" can't seem to get traction because the Parties don't want to mess with the status quo. Or so it seems.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Read this on Twitter:

"Isn't Romney speaking at the NRA kinda like PETA speaking at a Rodeo?"

:toofunny :toofunny :thumbsup

And this:

"Romney, '94: "I don't line up with the NRA." Romney, '12: Headlining NRA convention" :thumbsup

"Question for @mittromney at the #nraam do you regret signing a permanent assault rifle ban in Massachusetts?"

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Here's a good way to look at it all.http://jpeg

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Ron Paul has great economic ideas. He loses me on his foreign policy. I agree we shouldn't police the world, but when he says Iran has a right to nuclear weapons, he loses me.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Did I mention Paul loses me?

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Thank you, Mark Levin!!!!! Finally someone addresses the bogus issue of Newt's ethic violations that Romney and his lapdog, Chris Christie, are barking about. Check your facts boys - lying doesn't unify the party.

Mark Levin educates Chris Christie, Romney on Newt Gingrich 'ethics violations'

Why the RNC Fired Michael Steele

"In August of 2010, Steele implemented a new set of rules governing how the party elects its nominee for the November Presidential general election. Rather than have a handful of liberal states plus South Carolina (for the misguided appearance of fairness) determine the nominee before the overwhelming majority of the country even gets to vote, Steele spread out the calender, implementing penalties for states that broke the rules and held their contests prior to Super Tuesday."

"The penalty for doing so would entail the loss of 50% of a state’s total delegates plus the proportional distribution of those delegates rather than a winner-take-all vote. This enabled states that actually vote Republican in the general election to play a role in determining who the party’s nominee would be. Hence the RNC’s fury and the reason they angrily replaced Steele with the relatively obscure Reince Preibus."

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

If we ever elect a moron like Ron Paul President then we are doomed even more than with a Socialist Obama.

RP does not live in the real world. About 85% of what he says is fine and he is very articulate saying it. The problem is the other 15% that is pie in the sky dreaming at best and naive at worst.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

Your nailed it CC1. Very well said.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
 

And that is why I did not join RP voters today at the congressional district caucus. That 15% contains some very risky ideas.

It took multiple votes, but the Santorum/Romney alliance won our Missouri district. I was surprised actually - because there was still another Santorum slate with diehard holdouts. It remains to be seen what happens at our State convention RP supporters managed to get about half of our county caucuses last month.

In the lastest Rasmussen tracking poll, which has had no media coverage, Newt Gingrich is trailing Barack Obama by only 7 points nationally. Barack Obama is leading Mitt Romney by only 5 points in Florida.

These poll results are being withheld by the RNC and the MSM, who want no positive news about Newt in circulation, especially the fact he is only behind Obama by 7 points nationally.

Critics ding Mitt Romney for lack of transparency on tax returns

"You’d think that somewhere along the way, someone would have explained to him that it was better to pay a few extra bucks to the IRS and clean up his return for public consumption by forgoing some deductions and credits, rather than having to explain a Swiss bank account and tacky-looking tax credits," Sloan added."
