How can any right thinking Christian, conservative or tea party supporter justify voting for Romney?
Romney is an empty suit. A complete fraud. Worse, he's anti-tea party, anti-conservative, anti-liberty! He has absolutely zero conservative accomplishments to his name. His ONLY accomplishments in government are liberal, ie, tax payer funded abortion, gay marriage, gun control, RomneyCare, mandates, etc. He is Obama-lite.
Are these voters uninformed, terrified, brainwashed, or just plain nuts?

Not sure if theres much left of our Republic to warrant anymore fighting.

The guy thinks he is the fulfillment of prophecy and thus deserves to be POTUS.
Im disgusted by Florida.

This primary makes me sick. Newt was the happy warrior.
All positive with his 2012 Contract of real solutions, and he was running away with the nomination.
That wouldn't do! That interrupted Romney's 6 year plan for the presidency, so he went scorched earth and Santorum was the beneficiary in Iowa.
Now, instead of coalescing around Newt Gingrich to stop Romney, Santorum is attacking Newt Gingrich in Colorado and Nevada with scorched earth, but NOT attacking Romney!!

The TEA PARTY is for NEWT Gingrich.
NO enthusiasm for Romney.
NONE!
Its all establishment and manufactured.
RINOS be damned. The GOP can GTH and take Romney with it.

Mittens will most likely receive the nomination.
Those who believe in conservative, founding Father like principles should, on election day in Nov., vote for their local candidates in the county, state, and House/Senate races that they feel comfortable with.
But for President they/we need to make it known to the Repub. Establishment that their efforts will be for not. We should cast a vote for the Constitutional party or other conservative type candidate no matter how fringe people think they are.
If the country is to go down in flames in the coming years, let it be under Zero.

(16,399 posts)Their hate for Obama is too much. But normal people will not be enthused to vote for Romney.

(42,290 posts)TWO, count 'em TWO uses of the word "warrant" from 2 different posters......
And BOTH uses were correct, spelled properly, and in proper grammatical context.
Words fail.

(16,230 posts)If so they need to stop using such big words and start making some spelling mistakes.

(950 posts)there are moles on FR; it's not too hard to get them riled up about things. The primary goal is to turn them against each other by encouraging their petulant natures. The average FReeper is little more than an overgrown 2-year old; thus it's not too difficult.
For instance, it's highly profitable to encourage their delusions about Sarah Palin, and recently, to encourage both the Gingrich and Santorum supporters to have at each other. It hopelessly divides them.
Cheers!

(5,330 posts)At least they realize that even though Mittens will win the Republican nomination, he's going to lose the General Election due to lackluster conservative enthusiasm.
Free Republic helps our cause more than it hurts at this point, if RimJob can convince many of his loyal sycophants to not vote for President in November.

(950 posts)their reactions. The wailing and gnashing of teeth is highly amusing.
I'm positive that if Romney is the GOP nominee, the majority of FReepers will indeed sit it out; they despise him just as much, if not more so, than President Obama.
And now, I'm going to go back there so that I may dance in the salty, delicious rain of their tears.

Johnny2X2X
(19,066 posts)There is a huge fracture in the Republican Voting block right now. The Freepers and Tea Partiers hate Romney and see right through him. He's a phony and this is very real what they say about him.
Even if Romney picks a Tea Party VP there is a large group that will not support him.
It doesn't really matter who they pick if the economy continues to grow and unemployment continues to fall, they will be getting blown out in November.

(35,773 posts)Isn't it odd to say that a bunch of phonies can spot another phony in a way that means they won't support him?

(336 posts)that the GOP is further to the right than it's ever been in living memory - far more than in Reagan's day, or even in Gingrich's heyday. And this is the moment they choose to declare it's full of good-for-nothing closet RINOs and liberals and take their toys home.
Ebadlun
(336 posts)I doubt it, that would involve an appreciation of the laws of cause and effect that's probably beyond them.
LAGC
(5,330 posts)I mean, Mittens' SuperPAC just completely DESTROYED Gingrich in Florida.
I mean totally and utterly.
No way he could compete with all those ads, they were brutal. I'm honestly surprised he finished as high as he did.
