Why don't you write Romney instead of rehashing the same crap in the safety of GD?



He needs a flood of letters that make clear that most people that live between the Sierra's and the Allegheny's think his version of "moderate" is way far left of center at best, and that overall he is a poor facsimile of anything that looks conservative.





This is very true.

If Romney is nominated I will vote the Congressional races and skip the POTUS ticket altogether. Obviously I'll NEVER hit a lever with Obongo on it but I sure as fuck ain't gonna hit one with Romney on it either.



Seems to be quite a few who won't vote for him. Perhaps enough to offset any worthless independents they *might* pick up in the general. That will ensure an Obama victory. Perhaps the Republican primary voters should wise the fuck up and vote their conscience in the primary like they're supposed to (in that case Romney wouldn't stand a chance as only about 20-25% actually support him). But if, as I predict, they go and vote for some bullshit fascade of "electability" then they deserve what they get next November.

For a history lesson on how much power a POTUS has to get legislation passed let's harken back to the day after GWB got re-elected and tossed all his political stock into privatizing social security.  How'd that work out for him?  Oh yea, blocked by his own party.




If you're worried about SCOTUS justices let's all think back to Harriet Miers?  How'd that work out for old Georgie?  Again, it didn't, he was blocked by his own party.




A president needs the good will of Congress in order to pass laws or get appointees and he's not going to get that by appointing liberal justices or pushing liberal agendas.

Blame the American people––NOT "the Republican party."  There simply aren't enough people who think like the majority of this site's members.  Everyone thinks they are "special" (mom said so!) and should get exactly what they want.  Politics does not work that way.  Once one accepts that simple reality it is then easy to do what is prudent and pragmatic.

The really laughable ones are those who think principles are involved in electing political figures.  Does one use principles to brush one's teeth?  Peel an apple?  Drive a car?  No.  Selecting a candidate who most closely matches one's wishes and desires in the political realm is no different.  Sadly, too many Americans are on the government teat, so "most closely" these days is "not very close" for many of us.  Again, accepting this does not mean supporting it or liking it.  


My point was the settling for *perhaps* a 40% personal approval for POTUS. I remember back in 2004 and 2008 on here the figure was like accepting them if they met ~ 70-80%. What comes in 2016? 20-30%?

Look, I said I'd vote Congressional and local races, just not for Romney and obviously not Obongo. That's how it's gonna be. You guys seem worried.

Romney isn't going to get the nomination.  He won't get it in SC is my prediction.  I know lots of folks down there, and yankees from MA aren't popular.  NH may be a different story, but Pat Buchanan won NH in 1992, and it didn't seem to do him any good-although he was challenging an incumbent Rep. prez.

Romney isn't the one.  Iowa showed that his candidacy hasn't improved since he last ran in '08, and that's with name recognition.

That's why Santorum's up right now.  Bachmann is out.  Who do you think will get her votes?  Or Perry's when he's done?

Just my very humble opinion.
