Romney/Ryan Lose 2012 Election Thread

[Larry]

Don't know about any of that junk, but I think the " choice " is: Do you want Obama for four more years, or not?

Oh, I wish things were better.

But if my choices are Obama, Romney, or seven birthers*? I'll take Obama in a heartbeat.

Heck, I'd take Cynthia McKenny over any of the R candidates. She's bat**** crazy, just like they are. But I at least can hope that she's incompetent.

* I'm using that term as an expression of the level of bat**** crazy-ness, rather than as an assignment of a specific policy. I have no idea how many of the R candidates are actually Birthers. What I do know is that every one of them is as disconnected from reality as the Birthers.

[Prosperity]

So Americans will have a choice between:

A) Obama
B) A pro-choice, health-care-mandate-signing, climate-change-accepting, weird-religion-having guy from a true blue state, and whose stated positions the GOP has already deemed completely unacceptable

Why, exactly, will rank-and-file GOP voters bother to go to the polls at all?

cause they're bat **** crazy or completely manipulated

the "Base" has proven to be pretty stubborn in the face of cognitive dissonance

Wow!
Hell no.
She's dangerously crazy.
Romney might be untrustworthy and a jerk but I'd pick him over her in a second.

Romney gains two Perry fans

(CNN) – Mitt Romney captured two endorsements Friday from former Rick Perry supporters.

New Hampshire Republican state Rep. Norman Major, who backed Perry over a month ago, and prominent social conservative Maureen Mooney, who flew to Texas earlier this year to encourage a Perry White House bid, threw their support behind Romney.

Romney spokesman Ryan Williams said Major's decision, first reported by the New Hampshire Union Leader, is proof the campaign is continuing to gain momentum.

"Voters across the country realize that Governor Romney is the only Republican who can fix our economy and defeat President Obama in 2012," Williams told CNN.

In an interview with the Leader, Major said he originally endorsed Perry because of his accomplishments in Texas, but "as I saw him in the debates and how he handles himself, I realized he isn't going to beat Obama."

A recent CNN/TIME/ORC International poll of Republican voters in New Hampshire, the first-in-the-nation primary state, showed Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, leading the GOP pack with 40% of the vote. Texas Gov. Perry came in sixth place with 4% of the vote.

Mooney also announced her Romney support Friday, according to CNN affiliate WMUR.

"This is Mitt's time and this is his year," she told the station. "He has been a friend of New Hampshire for years now and is very supportive of the New Hampshire Republican Party, candidates locally, the county and state. Furthermore, he demonstrates a sharpness in every debate we have seen him in that will match up well against Barack Obama. That is precisely what we need."

So, as for the George Will article; What does he suggest to the conservative voter who doesn't want Obama for four more years, but is ultimately less than satisfied with the Republican nominee?

[mjah]

Because of the letter after his name.

That's the only answer I can come up with as well.

Mitt's really waiting for twa's backing.....

[Teller]

Are you predicting that Romney will lose the nomination to someone else?

If he gets it -- and he will -- that will indeed be the choice.

I am predicting exactly that.

Look, like it or not, the conservative base gets its message out better than anyone in politics right now; and we motivate our voters exceptionally well too. Romney is not in any way, shape, or form a conservative. And we've got a full year to make that perfectly clear. Bookmark it. Romney will NOT be the nominee.

You guys should make a wager on that. I'd be interested in who HH thinks WILL be the nominee.

So who will Obama's sacrifice....
Sorry.
I mean "opponent" be?


Romney's the only one with a chance at beating him.

We'll see. I'm content to let you guys talk junk for now.

I don't have a side in this for once, so I'm honestly curious as to who people think can beat Obama.
Personally I'm ok with O at the moment, even though I voted for McCain.
But I can see myself voting for Romney (though I hated him in 2008)...I can't imagine voting for most of the other imbeciles and loonies on the right.
(not including Huntsman maybe, but he has no chance of going anywhere and has far less conservative appeal than Romney)

[NoVaO]

The problem is that an alternative to Romney doesn't emerge and the conservative wing of the Republican party just splits their votes amongst a bunch of different candidates, allowing Romney to win the nomination with 30% - 35% of primary voters voting for him.

I agree with you.

The primaries will be determined by the True Republicans. And the True Republicans will never, ever, vote for anybody who has in any way so much as questioned their Kool Aid fueled delusions.

Like that one.
