   Okay. That’s it!

   I’m finished with the GOP. Romney bashes McCain as being “liberal”. Romney accuses Huckabee of trying to help McCain and wanting the VP spot. Now, Romney is going to quit and support McCain?!

   I pi$$ed away a vote on Tuesday for Romney! I would have been better off to have left that spot empty this time around too.

   I’m ready for a third party candidate. Does anyone out there look like a contender for a third party ticket?

    I’ve thought long and hard on how I could support McAmnesty, and I decided the only way is for him to pledge and sign a pledge, notorized and all legal that he will:

    Renounce Amnesty
    Renounce Global Warming
    Renounce the Gang of 14
    Renounce McCain-Feingold
    Renounce the Terrorist Bill of Rights
    Pledge to keep Gitmo open
    Pledge to preserve and increase the Bush tax cuts

    Pledge to secure the borders, enforce the law and deport via attrition.
    Pledge to only serve one term

    With the condition that if any of these are breached he will resign immediately.

    That is the only way I will support him.

    With Mcpain being so old (as Chuck Norris pointed out) and given the amount of aging that presidents go through during a stint in the Oval Office, it’s possible that Mcpain may not want to or be able to go a second term. And Mitt would be in a position to move up.

    Then again, his mom is like 150 or something and she wants me to plug my nose and vote.

    Good thing I have until November to think about it.

    I don’t know about you, but I’m not about to let Barack or Hillary walk to the office and snatch victory from Iraq just when we’re on the verge of winning.

    If we’re going to be a sourpusses and not vote for McCain, and let the dems win, then we should have pulled the troops out years ago and save hundres/thousands of lives.

    The vote in November is more than about McCain vs. the dem. It’s about winning vs. losing the war on terror. I don’t particularly like McCain, but we can win this war with his leadership and we won’t with dem leadership.

    My principles disagree with McCains’, and I hate sacrificing them to vote for him. But keeping this country safe from our enemies will always be my number one priority. So if that means holding my nose and voting for McCain, then so be it . I love this country too much and support the troops too much, to let HRC or BHO flush it all away to win popularity points.

    3) A growing, but significant, portion of the Republican party will never vote for McCain simply because he continues to not only openly go against their core beliefs, but calls the names and admonishes them at the same time (“Calm Down” being the latest and not the last);
    4) When presented with a Dem and Dem, the voters always pick the authentic Dem.

    McCain – Romney is unlikely. McCain needs southern pull, as evidenced on Super Tuesday – and Romney ain’t it.

    McCain – Huckabee is more likely – but don’t discount a different southern republican who can still pull in the voters, but is even more in line with McCain’s views.

    He doesn’t seem like someone who’d care to have a ‘dissenter’ as his VP.

    There are a lot of posters who are pledging to either hold their nose, switch parties, find a 3rd party, not vote, etc… I, myself, have no idea what I’m going to do – and I may not know until the day I step into the voting booth.

    The idea of a RINO as president is not the most appealing prospect… but with Hillary pledging to force payroll deductions on people to pay for healthcare, and Obama’s pledge to pull our troops out of Iraq before that country is able to fend for itself…. those alternatives are TRULY frightening, compared to only mildly the mildly fearful tremors I get regarding McCain.

    Show of hands – how many thought Ron Paul would outlast Romney?

    Try running for national office as an Independant…

    I once was enamored with the idea of a third…or fourth…party.

    There are some real sound reasons why that will likely not happen in my life.

    Paul will tell you the same thing. The Republicans and Democrats (with McCain’s help) have stacked the deck against anyone who is not one of them. I think many conservatives blew it by not voting for Ross Perot when they had a chance to make headway against the monopoly.
    So what do we have now. We have Tweedledee party and Tweedledum party and one has his hand im your left pocket while the other in your right pocket.

    Funny I remember this same debate in the ’60s. I guess not much has changed

    I think Romney’s a class act. He’s won my vote for any future election he’s in.

    What a great speech! It was like watching Reagan 25 years ago. The MSM gave out generous quantities of the Liberals rhetoric, but America has been unable to see the Romney we saw today. It is indeed a sad day for America. We’ve been deprived of the last conservative in the race.

    The GOP is toast this election year????

    Sorry, the GOP has been “toast” since at least 2004.

    After this year’s DISASTER, the GOP will be completely vaporized.

    Good thing too, ‘cuz the GOP is no less than a wing of the Democrat party.

    He has it exactly right. We despise and loathe McCain, but he will not surrender in the war on terror. Any democrat will!

    I remember the same thing being said by Richard Nixon and communism. Then a young Buchanon came up with the phrase “Peace with Honor”. And Nixon abandoned Viet Nam. Politicians can spin on a dime.

    If not for yourself, then vote for McCain on behalf of our brave soldiers so their efforts will not have been in vain as they surely will have been if a democrat is elected president.

    Agreed. I believe a popular phrase on this site is “Suck It Up.” It might be time for some people to take their own advice.

    I don’t understand Romney’s logic about dropping out. He seems to be saying he is dropping out because he doesn’t want to hand the USA over to terrorists.

    What in the world does that mean????????

    He says McCain agrees with him on the War on Terror. If they both have the same positions, where is the contradiction???

    Also- he is “suspending the campaign”. Does that mean he may step back in if McCain doesn’t offer him the VP spot??

    Maybe there is more back door dealing to be done. Maybe this was the first step in the negotiating process.

    I wonder if something is going on. First Thompson, then Guiliani, followed shortly thereafter by Romney. You would think everyone is running against a strong incumbent president. It’s too early. We have some months yet before the convention. Something is brewing. But, then, in politics, I’m normally suspicious. I need to correct post 69. It was Patrick Henry.

    Martinez could make sense. Open borders, RNC leadership ties, shore up the latino vote?

    Give me a break…he was pro-abortion, pro gay rights, raised taxes, lined up with Ted Kennedy….and we’re supposed to forget all that??

    Sorry, but I am HAPPY that this fake Conservative is out of the race.

    Artbyruth, you’re a little confused here, McCain wasn’t the one who dropped out.

    ALSO, please let me state this:

    Conservatives have received their just desserts. Decades of opportunity to fight and when have slipped right through their fingers… as recently as Tuesday night, Conservatives refused to stand on principle.

    In the end it’s CONSERVATIVES who have sat idly (and ineffectively) by while the GOP got hijacked by Democrats.

    For years, we have needed a Conservative Party… but no Conservative is willing to act. Year after year they vote for GOP just because they are slightly less evil then the Dems. Conservatives are freaking pathetic.

     The idea of a RINO as president is not the most appealing prospect… but with Hillary pledging to force payroll deductions on people to pay for healthcare, and Obama’s pledge to pull our troops out of Iraq before that country is able to fend for itself…. those alternatives are TRULY frightening, compared to only mildly the mildly fearful tremors I get regarding McCain.

     Amen to that Jrlinggreenbay…

     Guys, guys! We can’t cut off our noses to spite our face… HILLARY MUST NOT BE ELECTED!
