Romney to Quit the Race
« on: February 07, 2008, 11:23:20 AM »
Breaking now.....expected to announce it at the CPAC.....


 :censored: :banghead: :bawl: :shame: :chairshot: :asssmack:


Yes, I'm disappointed..... Romney sees the writing on the wall...McSlime and Huckabee have formed an alliance and he has no chance...he just handed over the nomination to McSlime, wrapped in a big red bow... :censored:

I want to add that yesterday I read an article on Fox or CNN, that Bush is behind this...He doesn't want Romney as the candidate, he is using his influence to persuade senators and other leaders to endorse McCain; supposedly because McCain agrees with his immigration stance :censored:
The party is moving left, slowly but surely...Gator had it right on this one.

Well crap. Looks like the only option is to get behind McCain and hope like hell that he's kept in line and checked by the other branches.
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I'm voting for McCain... the democrat alternative will be much much worse. As a conservative I will do my part to keep someone with a (D) after their name out of the White House. Give it to Obama or Hillary if you want but I'm not going there.

 :yeahthat:

So will most conservatives, we need to get used to saying President Clinton.  Maybe after 4 years, we can bring back a real conservative...but McCain will not win the presidency..not enough enthusiasm behind his ticket...GOOD.

There may not be a U.S. that matters after four years of Hillary. She'll have given it to the UN by then. It also wouldn't surprise me if Bill Clinton is Secretary General by then.

I'm half with ya at this point. But don't forget all the other issues that will be on the ballot in November. (local, State and national) There will be plenty of conservative items that need your support or, more likely, socialist junk that needs your ney vote.

I will not vote for McCain either but I'm showing up.

fwiw, some Romney stuff from Hot Air:
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/02/07/team-romney-source-hints-that-mitt-will-drop-out/

"Mitt’s “suspending” his campaign".  :thatsright:
"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

While I hear rumors that Hitlery's camp is afraid of McScam, I really feel that the Clinton attack-dog political machine will kick McFiengold's arse.

Let Hillary have it. Then, after she's ****ed up the country, SOMEONE may step up that's a real conservative. Electing McCain will only do one thing, continue moving the Republican party towards the Democrat party.

The same may happen with a McCain Presidency...only the Secretary General may be Ted Kennedy.  His stances make democratic moderates wince.

Or just go, but don't vote for president.   I won't pick a candidate for President, but I WILL be voting for our US Senator Saxby Chambliss.  We don't need Vernon Jones in office.   :hammer:

I'm with you FlaGator.  Don't forget that the House and the Senate are Dem as well...think of the damage that will be done.  What if a Supreme Court Justice needs to be replaced?   It scares the $hit out of me.

Hillary wants to garnish wages (possibly) if we don't cooperate with her "universal health care" brownshirts. I'll be pulling the lever for the R. I'll be voting against, rather than for, yet again.

Not only that, but so far...the democrats are flocking to the voting machine...I'd venture to say it's 3 to 1.

Well if he's going to be as bad as Hillary then it doesn't matter who I vote for so it might as well be a McCain/Huckabee ticket.

I'm going that way, I'll vote on the local and state offices/issues, but I'll never cast a vote for McCain.......isn't there an old sage....."the country gets the government that it deserves......"

After four years of that clown Jimmah Carter, we ended up with a real president.  Perhaps it will take Hillary/Obama to wake the folks up.....if they are ever going to wake up again.  Unfortunately, I fear for the republic.....

I just don't understand people's desire to concede the WH to a liberal like Hillary who will appoint the absolutely worst person for the surpreme court and (who as Splsh said) is going to make her healthcare plan mandatory so a lot of people will be giving up their good healthcare coverage for a triage system that will kill more than it saves...

Romney is getting emotional at the CPAC...I see it in his eyes....He's giving a good speech.  I expect we haven't seen the last of him.  Maybe after Hillary's 4 years, he'll run again....and Win.

I watched her last debate and she will not mandate anyone to relinguish their current healthcare plan.  She said she'll give us a choice, to sign up to the healthcare program available to the members of Congress, or keep your own.

If you believe her then why not believe McCain when he says he will take a conservative course of action.
