Read up for yourself, even Bachman has more degrees than Obama. Frankly I don't care that much, but liberals do. Education is everything; I'm surprise they don't run a candidate that has three or four PhDs.

No I don't trust Romney to many flip flops on positions . My first choice is Cain the not politically correct non politician second would be Newt or maybe Santorum but they are very long shots at this point.

Having said all this I will vote for the GOP nominee over our "Fearless Leader" now entrenched in the White House as IMO he is clueless in most areas that concern the American people today.

Your first choice is really running for President. If he were really running he would have organizations in the key states, but so far they are non existent.

I heard about that, don't understand it. Money problems maybe.

Thanks for the welcome IMO Cain is unconventional and grassroots we will see how much organization he has/needs when it gets down to the primary's stage. You may be right and he may be late in organizing. Time will tell

NO. HELL NO. F***ing HELL NO!!!!

Not on his best day would I ever vote for Mitt Romney. I say this as a Fiscal and Social Conservative and someone who endured his Governorship of the Communistwealth of Massachusetts (a title which he helped REAFFIRM). The man has no morals. He doesn't believe in anything. He's about at Conservative a Che or Lenin. I would vote for LUCIFER before I voted for Romney.

Yes it will. MAYBE this time it will sink in to the heads of the Republicans that when they run ANYONE other than a CONSERVATIVE, the real base of their party won't vote for him/her (see McCain, John circa 2008). More importantly, hopefully it will awaken the sleeping giant that is the American People for the Revolution that is so desperately needed in this country.

While I don't agree with Republicans on many things except Fiscal issues to a certain extent (just not the way they want to execute it) I can genuinely sympathize with many Republicans frustration with Romney and why his numbers have stayed steady and not changed. The guys got no balls or conviction. He changes his positions every other week depending on what the polls say or what he thinks Republicans want to hear. Hell even if he says things you like, as a Republican alot of the time you know he's being disingenuous and just pandering...

Your thoughts?

The only problem I had with Romney in the past is that he changed his position too often on too many issues, mostly so he could have gotten the GOP nomination in '08.

Now as '12 is getting closer, Romney seems to have solidified his positions. However, they are positions that I don't agree with.

I've never understood this attitude. You'd rather re-elect Obama (the anti-conservative himself) than elect Romney (a moderate who holds some liberal and some conservative positions)? In other words, you'd rather support something that you hate almost entirely than support something that you hate only a little bit, all in the name of "conservativism"!?

That's like an anti-gun activist committing suicide with a gun in the name of gun control!

First off, Romney is no moderate. He's a Lib just like Obimbo is. The difference is that Romney refuses to be HONEST about who and what he is. It's sort of that "enemy you know" rather than the "enemy you don't know" mentality. So, the policies between them will not be markedly different. However, the re-election of Obama is more likely to spark the violent, bloody revolution that this country is so much in need of right now. THAT'S why I'd vote for Obama, given a choice between only those two.

If you look at Romney's fiscal record, you'd see that he is no "lib just like Obimbo."

Nick.... I live in MASSACHUSETTS. You know, the state that worthless sack of **** ran as Governor? Please don't try to tell me anything about Romney being anything other than a Liberal piece of trash. Especially since his extreme Leftist social views would outweigh any fiscal moderation that he might have shown. We have gay marriage and mandatory health care in this state because of that ****er.
 
The extremists on both sides hate his guts -- that's probably the number one reason to support him.

Saying that a re-election of Obama is more likely to spark a violent, bloody revolution in the United States as opposed to Romney, or anyone else for that matter, winning the election is like saying that someone is more likelier to fall off a cliff if he stands 100 yards away from the edge rather than standing 200 yards away from the edge.

I'm sorry you live in Taxachusetts. You have my sympathy.

But my point remains: under Obama, we will get gay marriage and we already have universal health care. How is Romney's fiscal moderation (your words) any worse than O-spenda-bama?

Because that "moderation" is less likely to spark the violent, bloody coup that this country needs so badly.

To humor you, why do you think we need this violent, blood coup? And furthermore, why do you think that Obama will be the man to give it to you?

We need the revolution because it is the only truely significant potential to make sufficient changes to bring us back in line with the system we should have in this country. There is not political/voting means to get back there. We're 150 years past that point, unfortunately. I believe that Obama will be more likely than Romney because he will see the re-election as a mandate to push for the most extreme of his philosophical ideals since he doesn't ever have to run again at that point. The things that will truly spark Revolution.... the confiscation of private property, increased taxes and redistributional policies. The confiscation of firearms. Things of that nature.

If that's the case, why does it matter who the Republican Candidate is? Won't you vote for Obama no matter what? You said yourself "there is not political/voting means to get back [in line with the system we should have in this country]."
 
Gotta love it...sorry but it is hilarious guys...every forum you go in the conservatives hate romny and vote against him in poll after poll....but I must remind you Rino haters.

ALL YOUR CANDIDATES GOT SPANKED AND REJECTED by the traditional gop and independents....Romney it will be no matter how much you hate him...

sadly appealing only to CONSERVATIVES is not sufficient to win. and what sort of conservatives! I want to abolish the income tax, the death tax and most programs not specifically authorized by the constitution (such as federal gun laws and the war on drugs) but I have no problem with Gays marrying and I don't get wigged out if kids in Public Schools don't get to pray on "company time". so I am a real conservative but the bible thumpers get their panties in a wad over anyone who doesn't want to throw abortion providers on death row or burn homosexuals at the stake

If the election was any of the other candidates or Obama i'd vote Obama. If it was romney v Obama then it would depend on where romney finally stops flip flopping on the issues.

Romney is getting my vote in the primary.

All "MY" candidates? The Republican party has not submitted a candidate to my liking or willingness to vote for since the turn of the century: Palin and Bachman have a serious problem.... BREASTS. Perry and Cain aren't social ideologues. Gingrich. Paul, and Santorum aren't serious candidates. Please show me an actual CONSERVATIVE candidate before you start talking about "MY" candidates.

As for the Traditional GOP and Independents.... they bleed just like Liberals do when the time comes.

that's a rather childish position to take. I am an attorney who practices almost exclusively before presidentially appointed judges. I know that it is the PARTY that appoints almost every judge other than those on the USSC-and a few select high profile court of appeals judges. Romney, Perry, Bachman, Cain, we will get far better judges than Obama.

It is the courts where we have the best chances of rolling back the entitlement addiction nonsense and extra or unconstitutional programs that will not get legislatively erased because too many of the sheeple are dependent on those improper programs

You need to grow up and get rid of that silly purism that only guarantees more Kagans on the Supreme court
