I'm not going to stop until he gets all of his delegates. And then I will neither post for or against him. Be patient. We have to do our part on the vetting.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
And, BTW, it was ironic that the RNC called me today for a donation. I told them that they had to be freaking kidding me and that they have shoved Romney down our throats and I will not support the RNC! Then I hung up on them. Whew!! Glad to get that off my chest!
And you ought to see the fight we are in with FoxNews. We are pushing them into a corner for their bias. We've pushed them so hard, O'Reilly is addressing it on his show. So funny to see Bret Baier and Brit Hume whining while calling Newt a whiner for telling the truth. Hahahahahahahahahahaha! You gotta love it! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Man, I have some fun friends in the political world. I am woman, hear me roar!!! LOL!

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
Gotta do the homework for some, it seems.
Quote:
Mitt Romney’s Health Care Evasions
At last night’s GOP debate, the former Massachusetts governor once again attempted to put some space between RomneyCare, the state-driven health care overhaul he signed in the Bay State, and ObamaCare, the federal health care overhaul that used the Massachusetts plan as its model.
Here’s how he attempted to distinguish the two:
"If you think what we did in Massachusetts and what President Obama did are the same, boy, take a closer look, because, number one, he raised taxes $500 billion, and helped slow down the U.S. economy by doing it. We didn't raise taxes."
This is true as far as it goes. But it’s not the whole story. Romney didn’t pair his health care overhaul with a large tax hike. He didn’t have to, though, because he relied on generous help from the federal government to pay for it.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
And my link for today - because - the title of this thread is - "Why won't Republicans get behind Romney?"
Well, since you asked...

Thomas Sowell
Regardless of what the polls or the pundits say about Mitt Romney's chances of winning the Republican nomination, the conditions that made him the front runner in the primaries are the direct opposite of the conditions for the general election.

Re: Why won't Repubs get behind Romney?
Crakjak, I am also wondering why Santorum and Perry are saying they will run in 2016. You don't normally run against your own party.
Are they also expecting a loss in November?

Most likely they are. I'm not sure Romney can beat Obama. Hope he can, but I have my doubts.

I also have my doubts. The reason being is that Santorum was and is right, voting for Romney is getting the same thing as Obama, so what difference does it make who wins? They are very closely aligned, if you study, on policy. I wish people could get that. It's very important.
It is my opinion that the Republican Party is not conservative anymore and the GOP has chosen this opportunity to push a more liberal candidate on us using the fear that Obama might get four more years.
If a loss causes the party to restructure, then it can only be a good thing. We are getting nowhere fast with where the Party stands today. Status quo will not change or make our country better.
Men who are not afraid to voice their opinion and don't stand on political correctness like - Newt, Gov. Perry, Allen West, Gov Jindal - are what we need.
God help the USA.

It's "Progressives" in both parties that are killing this country.
