Mitt Romney 2012! I voted for him in the primaries and I’ll vote for him in 2012. Once Obama has brought this country down to her knees we will unite once again and vote for a true countryman that will bring this great country back to where she belongs in this world. Romney 2012!

The McCain camp blames Palin for their loss – the aides are a reflection of the man McCain is. I voted for him but I was holding my nose because he has proven himself to be hateful on more than one occasion! The blame is squarely on his shoulders, Sarah Palin was the only bright spot on the ticket. I don’t think she was ready for the Presidency but I think she would have learned quickly.

Romney didn’t get the nomination because Huckabee played to the fears of the ignorant evangelicals. Not all evangelicals bought his distortions of the Mormon church or of Romney’s record, nor did they appreciate his “Christian” card play. Not all evangelicals believe that religion should make a difference – Romney wouldn’t have forced Mormonism on everyone, while it appeared that Huckabee tried to force his brand of Christianity down our throats. Many paid attention to Hucks record and his questionable ethics. Romney lost in those southern states by 1% – Huckabee wasn’t a landslide winner! Huckabee and McCain teamed up against Romney and Romney didn’t play their game. They accused Romney of negative campaign ads – ads that only pointed out records…apparently even they knew they had negative records! Romney has shown more class than these two could muster together. When Palin became the nominee Romney said, “let Sarah Palin be Sarah Palin” in response to the fact McCain camp tried to hide her. She would have been much better on her own. I pray that Obama isn’t the thug I think he is -I pray he will do well for this country, we have got to unite behind him. Still, we have to watch and prepare for a nightmare. Part of that preparation is finding someone to lead this country four years from now – Mitt Romney!

If Romney couldn’t win the GOP nomination, what makes you think he could have won the election?

His supporters ought to be glad that he didn’t end up as the nominee; there’s every chance that the GOP candidates who ran this time will end up as sacrificial lambs, and at least Romney emerges unscathed to fight again another day.

Mitt Romney is the man to Bring America Back in 2012! His Free & Strong America Political Action Committee worked so hard to help conservatives across the country and that help stopped the Democrats from getting to 60 votes in the Senate and from getting the 30-40 vote increase in the house. Just wait until Republicans see what has happened with Democrats controlling the house, senate, presidency, governorships, and with supreme court nominations coming up. There will be a grassroots effort like this country hasn’t seen since 1980 to support Mitt Romney!

I think she had the misfortune of being thrust onto the national scene:
a) before she was ready (she’s clearly intelligent when you hear her without the media filter, but she was also clearly vastly unprepared on the issues and
b) at a time when social conservatism is getting a bum rap. Being a plain spoken mother of five from a small rural town isn’t exactly in fashion right now, despite these being the reasons that she caught on with the base.

And part (b) explains why part (a) made her especially vulnerable to the attacks. When you are a plain spoken, folksy person, it’s even more important to prove the media elite wrong by showing that you know your stuff.

It’s really sad though the way McCain campaign staffers are smearing her as CYA for their own fumbles. As one pundit noted this morning, not only are they potentially preventing Palin from making a comeback but they’re also being disrespectful to McCain since he made the decision to pick her and he defended her. Pathetic that they’re putting their own career futures ahead of all of that.
