Romney all you have to do is look in the mirror and say Romneycare. If your face doesn't wrinkle up you know you're and moderate and can stomach voting for him. Just tell yourself he's electable.


Saying Romney will be the nominee and saying Romney will be elected are two entirely different statements. Of the present mob I say he has the best chance of beating BHO.

Umm, lets see:
acknowledged marital infidelity, two divorces,
perhaps, on another level, even worse - quoted as saying he�d do a climate change commercial with Al Gore - you know, the left�s primary excuse for implementing a socialist policy of wealth redistribution and social engineering -
- to me, just another warmed-over career politician - certainly not a conservative, heck, not even human!
hope he goes down in flames!

As a conservative from his home turf of Georgia (aka his 'target audience/base')... he will not get my vote. I really REALLY hope he is not the nominee.

Romney is a miserable failure from the left (RINO) his failing costly socialist medical reform proves it beyond debate.

Just curious, to all those that would not vote for him, who should the Republicans put up? I am not flaming, just asking.

Be careful what you wish for. The last [bleep] for brains 2 term Rep. Pres. elect catapulted the current POUS into office. Your persistent lowest common denominator strategy may well put Pervez Musharraf in office the next go around.




True but then look at the [bleep] he ran against. The left as a whole thought they were really voting against Bush the moderate. But guess what his name wasn't even on the ballot. No if you have brains you vote for the people on the ballot not against the ones that aren't.

Obama is toast unless he can pull a real load of economy out of his ass! With his fiscal policy that isn't going to happen.


I would love to see the GOP put up a good candidate but after seeing who had entered the race Obama will have a walk through! I love a competitive race but looking at the GOP group at the top of the list right now there is little chance in hell any of them will make it past SC let alone the general election.

Can someone around here please consider Party and Campaign strategy at work here for a minute?

You want to get rid of a popular Obama? How are you going to do it?

- Attack him on his record, on his policies, and his leadership.
- You better hit this from as many fronts as possible, and use as many voices as possible.
- You better start early early and attack often.
- You better hit him with different voices coming from different angles. Make Obama go on the defensive as much as possible in hopes he will slip up and/or crack from the pressure.

George H W Bush was defeated not by the relatively unknown Bill Klinton, as much as he was by attacks by Pat Buchannan and H. Ross Perot. They started slinging the mud and probing Bush's armor for chinks 9 -12 months before Clinton ever got the nomination. The wolf pack concept. Run him down and attack from all sides.

You want Newt, Sarah, Allen, Chris, or any of your other favorites out and running against Obama. Wear him down incrementally long before the actual campaign begins against the GOP nominee. Soften him up. If you want conservative politics, then drive the debate that way early and often.



Newt is a Conservative voice that can attack Obama, and run rings around him in debate. Newt knows the role and workings of Washington better than Obama. He is a tough foe, and will take much energy to defend against.

Newt has no real delusions of being President. Don't know if he really wants the headache. He wants to influence the debate and the issues that will drive the election. he wants his ideas in the public mind, with hope that should his campaign die, his ideas will be carried by others.

Got to love this PC word checker Ric has. I got Bleeped for using the word:

Can you guess what it was?

Control the Border First by Newt Gingrich Posted 05/12/2010 ET
"Control the border first" ought to be the battle cry of every citizen who is tired of leftwing elites trying to use charges of racism to blackmail us into accepting perpetually unsecured borders and amnesty for millions.
“Control the border first” is the legitimate demand of Americans concerned about national security and personal safety.
The President, as Commander in Chief, has a constitutional obligation to control the border.
However, instead of executing this duty, he has actually blocked the limited efforts of the Bush Administration, stopping the construction of a “virtual fence” until more studies can be done as to its effectiveness.
The fact that President Obama refuses to fulfill his national security obligations and instead is trying to arouse public fear and divide the country is a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of his Oath of Office.”
******
“I voted for and President Reagan signed the Simpson-Mazzoli immigration act of 1986 because we were promised:
1. Control of the border;
2. A practical, viable guest-worker program to offer a legal avenue to economic opportunity; and
3. A tough policy with American employers who broke the law for their own enrichment.
In return, the Simpson-Mazzoli Act was supposed to grant amnesty to what was then estimated to be 300,000 people.
The total number of people amnestied turned out to be 3 million.
Having given amnesty and gotten nothing in return, the American people are increasingly angry about their federal government's failure to do its job.
The Arizona law was a reaction to Washington's failure to protect America and keep Americans safe.”

The right answer for Washington is to meet its responsibilities: 1) Control the border; 2) Pass common sense immigration reform, including a guest worker program and intense enforcement aimed at illegal employers (without whom there would be no magnet to draw in people outside the law); and 3) Ensure that all Americans can live in safety in a law abiding country.
At that point the Arizona law would become moot and unneeded. Let's solve the problem, not the symptom.
*****




That's pretty damned funny, considering that he was saying just the opposite six months ago. Fuggem, he won't get my vote, no way, no friggin' how.
He can only turn himself inside out so many times before everyone sees him for what he is.







I don�t believe that Newt was saying just the opposite six months ago.

Post it.

When the dust settles, its going to boil down to the least of two evils! You can either vote for the current azzhole or the Republican nominee. Voting for a third party that more perfectly fits our values will only re-elect the current POS and completely destroy America and our values. We could do worse than Newt.

Newt is trumpeting his new standing as a reliable family man,

Seeking political redemption, Gingrich plays up his wife
By Holly Bailey



As Newt Gingrich prepares at last to officially launch his White House bid Wednesday, expect one item on the former House Speaker's resume to play an especially prominent role: his marriage.
As the New York Times' Sheryl Gay Stolberg notes today, Gingrich's third wife, Callista, is taking on a major part of her husband's White House bid as he seeks to push back against what could be one of his key vulnerabilities in his upcoming campaign: his history as a philandering husband.
As The Ticket has previously reported, Gingrich faces a tricky balancing act. On one hand, he is trying to recast his image as a happily married man--and father and grandfather, as he frequently notes. But in trumpeting his new standing as a reliable family man, he's also playing up his relationship with the woman with whom he cheated on his second wife, Marianne, who last year accused her ex-husband of trying to rewrite history in characterizing the couple's break-up.
These days, Gingrich rarely makes a political move without Callista, a former Capitol Hill staffer whom the former GOP lawmaker became extramaritally involved with while he was still speaker of the House. She's a constant presence at his side, is featured prominently on his "exploratory phase" website and, as the Times notes, is frequently cited by Gingrich, who constantly begins his sentences with the phrase, "Callista and I."
Yet Callista Gingrich has rarely spoken about her views of the campaign. Asked at a recent event if she's ready for the scrutiny the GOP primary will surely bring on their relationship, Gingrich wore a frozen smile as her husband answered for her, Stolberg writes. "Seems to be," the former House speaker declared.
In public appearances and in targeted interviews with conservative media, including the Christian Broadcasting Network, Gingrich has repeatedly offered mea culpas for his past marital infidelities, saying they were caused, in part, because he was ambitious and "worked too hard."
In an interview with Fox News Sunday in late March, he reiterated that he believes God has forgiven him for his mistakes, but he acknowledged that he might not receive the same treatment from voters. He called questions about his character "legitimate"�though he said he hoped voters will "put into context" his personal behavior with the larger span of his career and his current marriage.
"We'll find out six months to a year from now whether people are forgiving," Gi

i like his history of helping to envision an improved view of what gov't should be about.

his profile as Presidential disappoints me. but, he does possess credentials as a high-quality policy wonk. the best or one of the best, no doubt.

right now we've got a dancing Presidential wife. God only knows what the next President's wife/husband will have to do in order to wow the crowd. grin

I think some of you guys give give the half breed too much credit. If the economy stays in the tanks, energy stays high w/$4/gal fuel, unemployment stays high, etc I think Mickey Mouse could beat him.

The candidate I am committed to right now is anyone besides obama. Another 4 years of him and his agenda will send the US into a collapse with an internal war.
