I don't hate Romney. I am just disgusted by him and the GOP. The previous article I posted is spot on!

How absolutely, ridiculous AND stupid to vote for electability and not sound principle.

Good grief, Charlie Brown. Have we lost our ever loving minds!

Unfortunately, conservatives are well outnumbered now and the conservative agenda is not what the majority want.

People want hand outs. They want to get paid to sit at home "looking for work." They want free gov't healthcare (polling showed most Americans wanted Obamacare, like it or not).

They don't want someone like Santorum who's completely right wing, nor someone like Gingrich who is crowd-driven and could at any time go completely nuts.

That's why Romney is winning. He's a centrist. Is he as conservative as I'd like, probably not. But remember Reagan? The Hollywood actor who was a democrat for years before switching parties? Reagan was a New Deal democrat and admired FDR .... hows that for prior history.

Before someone flips out, I'm not saying Romney is the next Reagan. There will never be another Ronald Reagan. The republicans need to stop looking for another Ronald Reagan. Reagan was what we needed for the Cold War and the 80s, not what we need now.

People like to criticize Romney for policies and things from years ago, yet the same people revere Reagan. Politics change. People change.

Unless you want Obama in the WH four more years, you have to vote on electibility. A pure conservative will never win in this country now. Keep dreaming.

I'm not buying into the electability thing because, the media declares it to be so.

You better recruit a couple of people to take our place at the voting booth. Not doing the electability. It hasn't changed anything in this country and is just a huge waste of time.

Still on the electability theme here.

Good points in this article!!!!

The truth about ‘electability’

Republican voters need a therapeutic slap across the face.

In exit polls yesterday, Florida Republicans revealed that their top reason for choosing their candidate was “electability.” After screaming at my TV for 10 minutes, I had several drinks and sat down to write this column.

John McCain was electable. Wasn’t he?

1.) Did anyone ever ask if Barack Obama was electable?

2) Did anyone ever ask if Hillary Clinton was electable?

And the answer to each of those questions is no.

The list of potential political liabilities for Hillary and Barack could go on for days. Each had an ideology far to the left of mainstream America. Neither had an executive’s pedigree. Yet, somehow, electability wasn’t an issue for them.

It ain’t a mystery, folks.

The electability question is a liberal media con. It is posed only when discussing Republicans. And it is posed often. The purpose of the question is to cast doubt on conservative candidates and, ultimately, keep them out of office.

And, tragically, it works.

If conservatives can learn anything from Barack Obama, it’s this: Anyone is electable.

Very true!

The Republican Party Becomes the Whig Party

The Republican Party is about to be cut to shreds, even as the establishment declares victory over those redneck insurgents from the Tea Party. Romney's victory may very well end up being pyrrhic for the GOP in the end.

I will support the GOP nominee, I am a realist, if we don't win we will get Obama. Santorum probably is closest to my values and principles, but he can't win, so what good is a vote for him??? I am voting my principles, the person that is closest to my principles, and will do a good job, getting elected, and leading the Congress in getting things done. Romney will now be demonized by the media, Obama, and many in his own party. Is he perfect, no, but he will do a good job.

We won't get anywhere with any nominee if we don't pick up more seats in the Senate. But, I'm with you, I align more with Santorum and he won't win.

I think that many Republicans like Obamacare, for the most part, and want Romney to win for that reason. Pam Bondi, Florida's AG, has been defending Romneycare. She stated she is for the mandates. So, there ya have it - what the push for Romney is really about. Voting for Romney = Obama.

I have a few more recruits for you to pick up for Romney. The number keeps growing. Better get to work.

I am also understanding that Trump will be endorsing Gingrich tomorrow. We shall see how that pans out.

Love this article by Erik Erickson at Redstate. He's always good.

You'll be happy, crakjak. He will vote for Romney if he is the candidate.

The National Review’s Candidate Won’t Stop Digging

It is days like today that make me thankful I think they all suck. At least I’m thankful I’m in the firmly not Romney camp.

This morning Mitt Romney said he wasn’t concerned about the poor. The poor, after all, have food stamps and Medicaid. But don’t worry. If the safety net is broken, Patrician Mitt Romney will fix it so the poor can stay comfortably poor. After all, just look what he did in Massachusetts. The poor can now wait 44 days to get in to see a doctor. Excelsior!

So you don't think we have a big enough safety net for the poor.

Romney was beat up all day for that remark. By people that want to look stupid, he never said nor meant what the mass media and the Newt crowd have lied about all day long. But hey, all is fair in war, love and politics, you know! Take a partial comment and say someone said they don't care about the poor. Romney gave over four million dollars the charity, so I guess he doesn't care.

At least he won't vote for Obama!!! That should be instructive for you, PO.
