Comments on: Romney predicts conservatives will stop McCain http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/04/romney-predicts-conservatives-will-stop-mccain-2/ All politics, all the time Tue, 22 Dec 2009 04:04:44 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Waiting in Oregon http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/04/romney-predicts-conservatives-will-stop-mccain-2/#comment-472098 Waiting in Oregon Wed, 06 Feb 2008 14:43:44 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/04/romney-predicts-conservatives-will-stop-mccain-2/#comment-472098 The RNC needs to understand that by trying to shove McCain down our throats, they are alienating their base. We’ve stood by while President Bush spent like a drunken sailor, and as the leader of the party, “forced” Republican legislators to follow along. Many lost their seats in 2006 because of the Presidents’ poor leadership. (It wasn’t the war) We’ve been waiting for a true conservative, and we won’t be robbed. We will sit this one out if McCain is the nominee for two reasons. 1. It will send a strong message to the “Grand Old Party” to stop taking us for granted. You need us! 2. If Hillary or Obama wins, we’ll see a repeat of 1994 in 2010. The Republicans will come up with an actual plan like their ’94 Contract with America. How novel! Huckabee is very conservative on social issues, but is not fiscally. (Bush repeat) Romney has a record of being conservative on both social and fiscal issues, and that is why he will get my vote.

He knows he cannot win but continues to do so to hurt Mitt Romney. If he really cared about our country, he would get behind the conservatives and stop thinking about himself.

He is the only one I want to vote for. I'm so tired of people saying that he flip-flops on things. All of the candadates have changed positions on things. If that is the worst thing they can find about Romney then it is not rocket science to figure out. He is clean, honorable, and an outstanding conservative leader. McCain looks like an angry person who I feel would not be a good mediator with foreign affairs. We need someone who will get the job done by someone who can unite America.

He has no record of scandals like McCain does with the K5, and he has been married to his wonderful wife for years and has 5 great children. One must step back and look at the life a man's lived to know if he can truly be trusted. McCain left his first wife for a woman 18 years his junior. He says one thing but then denies he ever said it. I encourage EVERYONE to reall LOOK past the media and study the candidates out thoughtfully...you may be surprised with what you learn.

At least under Bush the nuclear nations have relaxed their fingers and the planes are not on alerts back and forth to Russia's frontiers and there is not any immediate threat of lauching ICBMs. McCain is well known for his temperment. Do you want him with his finger on the nuclear trigger. How are other nations that have ICBMs going to react to having a man well known for his temper with his finger on the nuclear trigger especially Russia and China? You can be sure that they will up theire readiness for lauching nuclear missles in case Mccain blops his cork. When you think about how you are going to vote for President think about who you would want to have their finger on the nuclear trigger.
