Title: Romney bailing?
Post by: LePaul on February 07, 2008, 11:48:25 AM
Dang...he wasnt the perfect candidate but leap years better than McCain.  

Hucklebee is clearing blocking his gains on McCain.

If its down to McCain...guess I'm voting for the Democrat.

Don't worry. After Hillary is elected, she'll take away all the privately held firearms, so that the only People you will have to worry about forcing you to do anything, will be the government.

the country will never elect a mormon as president.  Romney finally saw it and did the right thing.  Saved himself some money.

I was afraid this would happen.  Now this leaves the door open for a third party candidate to come in and take enough votes from McCain to give Hillary or Obama a victory. :mad:

Romney's looking for the VP slot. He'll likely get it.

I think McCain and Romney bumped heads too much to make a ticket believable now.  McCain/Thompson would beat anyone except maybe Clinton/Richardson

thompson was the most unimpressive of all republican candidates.  even squeeky paul had a more commanding presence.  thompson always looked like he was either: a) falling asleep b) dead

he was a big disappointment to me.

As an article recently said about MCain always boasting his war hero status...  "So was Benedict Arnold"

I have no respect for McCain and his "Come together, see things my way...let's work together."  He's been nothing but an obstacle since he got trounced in 2000.

Err.... No one is going to take any votes from McCain.  That implies that he is competent enough to have earned them in the first place.


People will flock to any decent candidate that runs, splitting the republican vote.

Someone in here was saying that the O'club in AH, was a cross-section of American society as a whole. And that we should be able to make election predictions' based simply on the people posting in here. Does anyone remember who that was?

you could always write Ron Paul in...  :D

I am curious what happens to Romney's delegates now.  He won a couple states, do they go to the person who placed 2nd or do they become undeclared?

Romney said he was "suspending" his candidacy, that sounds like he is going to hold his delegates until the convention.

or maybe give Paul a second look?  

He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

I believe it means just what it says.   He stops actively campaining, leaves his name on the ballots and see what happens at the convention.

McCain and Thompson sounds ok, just barely though

so he's really just suspending campaigning, but still a candidate and on the ballots?  That's effed up.

I almost forgot...  Another One Bites The Dust (http://youtube.com/watch?v=hMenB9Ywh2Q)   :D

also, I'm reading up on "suspend" vs "dropped out", and it's looking like that's just semantics.  Edwards "suspended" his campaign, too.  It's just a way of saving face so he doesn't have to say "I quit."  At least, that's what it's sounding like so far, I could be wrong...

Fred Thompson was the only conservative running... Looks like Ron Paul (For all of his whackiness) is the only republican choice left.

I have not missed voting since 1982 when I first voted.  I am staying home in november... screw it.  I will not vote for a liberal of any party

There simply isn't a guy (or gal) to be the face of conservatism today. I thought for a few minutes that Newt might be it, (he IS an excellent orator, and a PhD) George Allen's career has been ended by macaca....Maybe Bobby Jindal will be something in a few years.

So, lemme get this straight...  A candidate can stand for fiscal responsibility, pro-life, low/no taxes, pro-2nd amendment, strict constructionist, etc, etc, etc, and just because he espouses a humble foreign policy (which GWB campaigned on, btw...) he's not a conservative?  Gimmie a break...

Sadly Newt's been tarred and feathered in the media previously.  Similar to Rudy, to a lesser degree.

He has some valid points.  And written some great stuff.

Romney was his own man, while not perfect, he's certainly not dragging the same baggage as McCain.  McCain seems to think being a war-hero makes people ignore how poorly he has behaved in the past 8 years.  We had a majority in the Senate and thanks to idjits like him, we had this "power sharing" baloney.  (Where is that now, now that the Dems are in majority, eh?)  When we had the majority in both houses, all they did was squander the mandate and spend like crazy.

Mr McCain was against cutting taxes.  And he seemed to take great pleasure is blocking any progress from the White House.  

He can go on about his great military service routine forever.  I know a lot of vets and high ranking officers who did serve their country...but have terrible ideas on politics.  One doesnt null out the other.

The thing is, the media needs to hit McCain with these hard questions.

Lately, the media is painting Conservatives as being stubborn and not getting on board with McCain.  They need to better understand why there is such distrust with McCain.  If we vote for Hillary or Obama, we pretty much know what we're going to get.  If we vote McCain, its anyone's guess.
