His meltdown during the debate demonstrated it... His unending back and forths on the abortion are starting to make him look like either someone who is pragmatic in how he's attempting to straddle both sides of the fence on abortion... or that he is somehow more nuanced than John Kerry.
I don't think GOP primary voters will care which... now that it has come to light that he has made a minimum of six monetary donations to Planned Parenthood his goose is cooked. No Falwell, No Dobson, and only a very few committed faith based, church goers are going to look past this. It is simply too much to accept.
After Fred's movie on HBO comes out on May 27th - it's time for him to announce. I think a FRED/ROMNEY ticket would perhaps be the strongest imaginable possibility.

Why is it that you can carry a group of conservatives to a horse ranch, turn your back for 5 minutes, and they will all be trying to saddle up a cow? All of the top 3 candidates have HUGE liberal baggage! Study the voting records of Tancredo/Hunter/Paul, and see how a REAL CONSERVATIVE votes. All 3 are awesome conservatives based on their VOTING RECORD! People say that certain people are unelectable, and that's just not true with an informed voter. Get the saddles off of the cows, and go ride a horse. It's much easier. |

As I look at the present lineup of Republicans, I see only three who would be able to win the critical conservative base of the party: Duncan Hunter, Dr. Ron Paul, and Tom Tancreado, all pro life House members. Hunter and Tancreado are Baby Boomers. Duncan Hunter served in the Army Rangers in the Vietnam era and he has a son now on active military duty in Iraq. These are the only candidates who oppose open borders and oppose the North American Union, which globalist President Bush is working quietly to implement without the advice and consent of Congress. This scheme would erase the borders with Canada and Mexico, ending American sovereignty, and replace the American dollar with the Amero. The Constitutional rights Americans have now would end.
Illegal aliens and the endangered American sovereignty are certain to be hot issues in 2008.
Voters who truly want liberals will vote for Democrats, not RINOs (Republican In Name Only). A Republican candidate must have the conservative base vote to have a realistic chance of winning. The Democrats did not win last year because people truly wanted liberals to win. Democrats won because too many elected Republicans were RINOs. The Democrat Party has turned sharply to the left since 2000. However, the conservative base of the Republican Party is no more willing now than it was 10 years ago to vote for a RINO as the "lesser of two evils". The conservative base is made up of people who want more than simply more money in their wallets.
If Rudy Giulani, Mitt Romney, or Fred Thompson head the 2008 ticket, Bill and Hillary will cake walk back into the White House.
Rudy Giulani is pro-abortion and is reported to have contributed to Planned Parenthood. In addition, Giulani has been through a scandalous divorce.
Mitt Romney has shown himself to be a big time flip flopper on the hot button social issues. In addition, a large number of Evangelical voters will not vote for a Mormon. This fact was borne out in a Barna Poll of Evangelical voters. In that poll, only five percent of respondents indicated they would object to a Catholic or Jewish candidate, while 20 percent indicated they would object to a Mormon. In addition, Mitt's father, Michigan Governor George Romney, was not a conservative. After George W. Bush, the last thing this country needs is a candidate who is "like father, like son".
Fred Thompson is a protegee of former RINO Senator Howard Baker and is not as conservative as he looks.
In addition, Giulani and Thompson were born into the "Silent Generation", which has produced only two Vice Presidents, Walter Mondale and Dick Cheney, but no President. The political landscape is littered with the campaign remains of Silent Generation also rans.

Your reference to Romney's alleged "flip flopping" suggests that you buy into the MSM's mantra, without justification. Romney has not flip flopped on the pro-life issue. He is a convert. If he goes back to being pro-abortion, then you are justified in calling him a flip flopper. On gays, his support of gays is characteristic of many people. There should not be discrimination. However, since 1994 and since 2004, this issue has changed. Now gays want the right to marry. Not just practice homesexuality, which most agree they have the right to do, but the right to change the definition of marriage. That's a different issue that we faced in 1994 or even 2004. Romney has been unfliching in his opposition to gay marriage since the court changed the rules. |
