A “RINO” wins New Hampshire!!

Anyone notice how creepy the guy in the picture to Romney’s left is. 

Oh, he’s not a “RINO.”  And even if he is…GO MITT!!

and you voted for a DINO! ROFL! Change! Transparency! No lobbyists in my white house! I’ll close gitmo! Unemployment will NOT go over 8%! And on and on!

Mitt WAS a moderate progressive Dog, and now he is a gung ho neocon and social conservative.

according to “henry” mitt is a far left loon but he still hates him cause he has an R after his name…you know, party before country and such.

Did Romney say he was going to legalize polygamy?

A great speech by number 45. What a beautiful family.

A very fine day is coming.

” Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise”.

OMG!  Romney was using a PROMPTER!  OMG!  He needs to read his speech from the palm of his hand like Sarah Palin!

OMG! Prompter!  OMG!

. . . President Obama for looking out at America and being “proud to announce it could be worse.” “What defines us as Americans is our unwavering conviction that it must be better and it will be better,” he announced, “we still believe in that shining City on the Hill.”. . . Well that was a great start going after Obama, keep it up Romney. You nailed it as that is what bloggers on here defend Obama with all the time saying he kept things from being even worse than they are. Isn’t even true as he made it worse.

and a “Mormon” “RINO” to boot.

Did you see those Independent numbers out of New Hampshire?

Be Afraid Progressives…Be Very Afraid!
lmao!

Mitt won because people know he’ll take a baseball bat to OBAMO. Someone needs to.

Did Romney say he was going to legalize polygamy?

Just pure excitement. Can’t you feel it?
LOL

They are all creepy.

Why don’t you link to a comment by “henry” so at least I know who you are talking about.

Barry Obama!
The teleprompter President.
- One term!

Sounds tempting.

we already know you’re a bigot, no need to cement it

i have a feeling you’re tight with the poster sometimes known as “henry.”

Willard is going back to work tommorrow?
 I thought he was unemployed.

Shaking in my boots!
LOL

Notice how none of the Republicans here will criticize Mitt for using a teleprompter but when Obama uses one it’s the end of the world!!

Next stop DC.

As a liberal who most likely doesn’t believe in Christian values and the defense of marriage act would it bother you if he did? I don’t think the conservatives are worried about it no matter how much liberals tried to make an issue of it.

So who thinks Romney wraps this thing up after SC?

Shock and surprise..  Now the real campaign begins, after NH, where the unbiased and unobjective, conservative states and voters, can determine who will be the Nominee.. Reagan lost Iowa, which gave him the incentive to really push after the rest of the primary states in 1980, so we will see what happens next..

If you are for homosexual marriage- what logic would you use to be against polygamy?

Consenting adults?
Not hurting anyone?
Letting people do what they want?

If anything, polygamy should have been legalized long before homosexual marriage as the US made a law against polygamy just before Utah came into the Union.  Which IMHO is pretty close to a 1st Amendment violation “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”.

Luv it when the widdle baby shows up to vote himself up but doesn’t post. ;)

I love Willard

That was a personal attack and the comment deserves to be flagged!!

As a Tea Party Reagan Conservative, I cannot, and will not, ever vote for Romney, as a vote for Romney, is the same as a vote for Obama, as they are exactly the same in every way, in their policies of welfare entitlement programs, tax raising and spending, crony capitalism, political corruption and greed as liberals, just from different political parties..  The Tea Party will never vote for Romney, period.!! 
“Tea Party Nation Founder: ‘The Tea Party Will Never Rally Behind Mitt Romney’
 
Tea Party Nation’s Judson Phillips appeared on Monday’s Martin Bashir and boldly declared, “The Tea Party will never rally behind Mitt Romney.”
 
“Never!” Phillips reiterated. “I think I told you this before, we’ve done surveys on our site where it shows one third to one half of the Tea Party members will not vote for Mitt Romney if he is the nominee in the general election — which is probably going to encourage Team Obama to send out people to vote for Romney in the primaries. But Iowa is the first step in this whole process. A week from now we will be talking about New Hampshire, two weeks from now, we’ll be talking about South Carolina and three weeks from now we will talk about Florida.”
 
“In all the national polls, Newt Gingrich is still right up there at the top,” Phllips added. “He does well in South Carolina and Florida, of course, the other good news that will be coming out of this is at least one candidate is going to dropout. Since the conservative vote is so fragmented right now, whoever drops out, presumably Bachmann, her supporters are going to somewhere. Hopefully from my point of view, it will be Newt. Wherever they go, they’re going to help one of the conservative candidates.”
 
Phillips later said as the race goes on, we will see “this coalescing and it will be around Newt Gingrich. It will happen. Eventually it will send Mitt Romney to the showers.”
 
unquote-
 
I, and millions of other Tea Party Reagan Conservatives, completely agree with Mr. Judson Phillips.!!

How many hrs a day to you spend switching names and licking yourself? Just a ballpark est. 5…6 hrs?

Hello… and there seems to be a lot of Conservatives out there who really don’t trust him based on his past stances on certain issues!!

testing one two

you mean sandals, right? actually, your profile sez you run around dirty-footed…my bad.

Saving the soul of America?  

that was a personal attack, mikey? lol

I’m channeling Carly Simon’s Anticipation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NwP3wes4M8

Over Newt’s dead body!!

Plus, Newt just received $5 million to destroy Mitt even further in South Carolina!!

The fun hasn’t even started yet!! =)

Here we go.

The bit that seems to really upset the Left in Neocon is the hawkish international policy.

Also, historically, Neocons were once Liberals. 

So the question I have for the Left is would Obama also be a Neocon? 

I mean, one bit thing I keep hearing is how great Obama has been in dealing with terrorism.  He even brags about an illegal kill of Osama Bin Laden. 

Obama just appointed registered lobbyist Cecilia Muñoz, former senior vice president of “La Raza” to be the new director of the Domestic Policy Council.

Think the media will call him out on his broken promises every day for a month and try to embarrass him over it?

My liberal is better than your liberal!

You do realize that by sitting on the sidelines in protest, you will indirectly achieve the opposite of what you want.

Romney is not exactly sterling when it comes to conservative bonafides, but I think he is has a real chance of attracting independent support that will be needed to defeat Obama.

You, and the rest of the Tea Party, have the most have the the most important check on Mitt Romney – your vote.

Cool.

Cut Obama some slack over GITMO!

He just released three senior level Taliban terrorists from there so he’s trying!

I.

… three!!

Depends on the activity and weather.

Let us know when Obama’s training wheels are ready to come off.

You do realize that Newt’s main goal in life is to extract vengeance on Mitt… at any cost!!

Not me!!

Mitt vs. Newt has a few more rounds to go after that!!

Yeah, so be it.  He still won tonight!

this your first primary? jeez

Another personal attack!! Like I said yesterday… your days here seem to be numbered!!

Gotta love liberals disparaging a Republican with “RINO”.

What are you trying to tell us?

No he sends jobs overseas.
More like saving the Seoul of South Korea.

That’s your 3rd personal attack in the last 10 minutes!!

The fatman will be used as a speed bump for the Romney bus as it drives out of SC.

Tell you what Dog, let me know who the next president will be, b/c I am burned out from this bloody thing.

What’s the view from the other side of the fence?

Guess what franks raines who was fired from fannie mae is doing?

“Gloves”, what’s Mitt’s greatest Conservative accomplishment??

I would welcome a chart comparing Romney and Obama on flip-flops.

I wonder if the American people would consider voting Present a flip or a flop?

Personal attack #4!!

Not Gloves – Mitt”ens”

He does seem to change his values quite a lot, doesn’t he!!

No wonder true Conservatives don’t trust him!!

Its not a matter of not trusting, it is about recieving a comprehensive and believable explaination.

Is not.

you consider that a personal attack? ROFL! you actually ARE a widdle baby. :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txlXcJDtDwM

Should I post what you called Cecelia? Now, THAT was a personal attack, hypocrite!

myob

Newt is done after SC.

If he dares to go into Florida sounding so crazy that he makes some of what Ron Paul says sound sane, he’s done for good.

4, five, 6.

That was Romney.
But like they say, all of those politicians look alike.

That was Romney.
But like they say, all of those politicians look alike.

Yet when we say the same thing about Obama we are called racists.  Go figure

Newt should take a lesson from Carter when it comes to being bitter - Internalize it for close to 30 years and then write a book that no one will read in which you blame dead liberals for your lot.

You can post it all you want… that was 3 months ago after her rude reply to me!!

Apparently she learned the lesson that if you’re going to be disrespectful and call me names, expect the same treatment!!

m_mayhem
Just go on over to Fox Pat where your bigotry, hate, and racism will be tolerated, encouraged, and rewarded.

Mikey, did you flag this one, too? Rhetorical question. Don’t bother making yourself look even more foolish.

Romney now has another Super-Pact!   http://salamandersociety.com/romney/070115dave_granlund_mitt_rommney_president.jpg

Personal attack! Personal attack!!!!!! And mikey liked it, too!

Lol!! You can say what you want!! If you get banned, do you think anyone would even care??

You and Phillips should seek therapy.

It takes one to know one.

O.k., but based on what some are saying, I’m not sure if they believe his explanations!!

Sorry to dissapoint you but I’m not a liberal and I am a Christian.

I would like to see that chart too!!

that will go right over mikeys head…

You forgot uninteresting. 

I agree. So where is Mitt’s position… that I’d love to hear him squirm on that one.

@mikey, so, you’re finally admitting you’re a hypocrite? Good to know.

There may be a very long explanation that demonstrates his changes in views are consistant with his principles.

Its complicated.

Liberals know it will be a tough fight for Obama to be re-elected!!

But with a little bit of “Chicago-Style” politics and close to a billion dollars… still has a decent chance!!

That phoney couldn’t beat up Joseph Smith.

I don’t have a problem with Mormons. You, however, do. That makes you a phony progressive and a Bigot.

let’s put that into perspective:

47% of voters identified themselves as independent, 49% as republican 

number of voters 2008 primary (NH): 238,979
number of voters 2012 primary (NH): 102,310 
(source: elections.nytimes.com, cnn.com)

Oh, I see… only a Republican can call Mitt a “RINO”!!

It’s not what I’m trying to tell you, it’s what true Conservatives are saying about Mitt!!

What a beautiful family?
http://www.lenscrafters.com/

WTF does OSTL mean anyways

Yes, the voters have spoken!!

Volt, what did/do you think of Ron Paul? Any appeal?

O.k.

Question – 2008 had both parties actively campaigning, 2012 is just republicans.

Is the 2008 # all voters or just the republican primary?

To quote Eisenhower when asked the same thing of Richard Nixon’s accomplishments – “Give me a week and I’ll get back to you”

Now Romney has just picked up another super-pack! http://salamandersociety.com/romney/070115dave_granlund_mitt_rommney_president.jpg

I only flag Conservative personal attacks!! =)

Relax… I didn’t flag anyone’s comments and I would like to see “Mayhem” be more careful with his choice of words before he possible gets in trouble!!

8.5% unemployment is a hell of a head wind, Dog.

Grade school flashbacks?

“Also, historically, Neocons were once Liberals.”
Yes.  Around the time that disco was popular.

Show us please.

Newt should, but I don’t think he will!!

I think he’s having too much fun at the moment taking down Mitt”ens”!!

classy

You funny guy!!

He’s also building an audience for his next book –

How I Lost to a Progressive

Only two. Anti war and decriminalize marijuana. That’s it.

An object with 3 sides is called a “Triangle”
An object with 4 sides is called a “Rectangle”
An object with 5 sides is called a “Pentagon”
An object with 6 sides is called a “Hexagon”
An object with 12 sides is called a “Dodecagon­­”
An object with an infinite number of sides is called a “Romney”

we know you’re not a liberal you’re a far left loon and what church would let you enter? wow. do they play with snakes?

I like his minimalist foreign policy stance (most of it).

I do have to admit that he has been the most intellectually provocative of the crowd as he has got me to question positions and why they should or should not be taken.

That’s why Obama’s chance at re-election is around 50-50!! If the economy was better, he would win by a landslide (my opinion)!!

I’ll have to remember that one.

Good one!!

FINALLY ROMNEY’S TAX RETURNS WERE LEAKED!:  http://www.rall.com/rallblog/2012/01/09/secrets-of-the-mitt-romney-tax-return

what does that make obama? A circle? ROFL!

Newt is taking down Mitt? Really? Step away from the bong.

Rick Perry was visibly offended when he was called a “hexagon” on the GOP.

……… FAIL!…. please hang up and try your call again.

no, i was mocking mikey, dummy

Lol!!  =)

I double checked and the numbers are for the Republican Primary only.
http://tinyurl.com/RepNH2008

He really want to play with the big kids.

Your Tea Party Conservatives are not voting for Newt. Iowa and now New Hampshire do not agree with your assessment.

Not a liberal but planning to vote for Obama and bash republicans every chance you get. News flash Stylin your a troll or your confused. Now I ask again but I will rephrase.As an Obama supporter and republican hater why should it bother you if he were for polygamy?

no
he likes it

I’m glad you went with the classic Willard.  Elsa Lanchester, gotta’ love her.  How inspiring to once again hear Bruce Davison’s immortal line, the one he delivered to Ernest Borgnine, ”Tear him up!”

do you think he partakes

…and probably smashes the wrong car parked in front of the white house while screaming “SEE WHAT HAPPENS BARRY … “?

I mean no offense to the people of Florida, but, I suspect they use a whole new scale for “sane” or “crazy”.

Are you ROFL’ing over CaptainPopcorn’s comment or are you so insecure in your own ability to be funny that you had to add your own ROFL?

Some of the shit Ron Paul sid could only come from being under the influence.

He probably writes himself prescriptions while in California, Rhode Island and Maine.
He has been smoking something!

Look who they elected governor.

I usually don’t vote for the democrats, but if I were a resident of FL I would have voted for the democrat.

where do you teach?
any music on youtube?

Although the remake was better than I thought it would be, I am still a fan of the original.

Of course where would we be without the sequel.

Yes, Newt should take a lesson from Carter.  Of the two, Mr Gingrich’s internalized bitterness may be more acknowledged.

Our next election is shaping up to be as big of a sham as the last. Do you know why Sarah Palin’s bus tour was really canceled? Do you know why she stayed 30 miles away from the second debate and chose the death of Steve Jobs to announce that she’s not running? Know what leaked out? Sarah Palin and Cain aren’t in the race for the same reason, the truth leaked out. Mouse over the link in my name

It’s possible he thought witchcraft was involved.

Whats up with you and Leedog tonight? Things are getting pretty feisty 

Rasta Farian is the music teacher.
I just play from venue to venue(sometimes).

That would have been Christine O’Donnell.

Utah got statehood ONLY because the LDS renounced it in 1890 due to political pressure. It was never legal in ANY state.

History. Out there for anyone willing to research.

A better question is if the tenet was so fundamental to the Church, why did Woodruff write the Manifesto that the morphed into a “revelation?”

Finally, a person marrying a person is a significantly different proposition than polygamy/polyandry.

Carter earned the sobriquet – America’s Best Exc-President.

Some how I don’t think Newton will earn the title – America’s Best exc-Speaker of the House.

There are many tea party outfits One of them just endorsed Romney the other day.  Newt is completely melting down.  I guess you don’t read the news very much.

The pack of extremists beaten by 3 RINO’s

shes you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxJyPsmEask

Wasn’t he on the Flintstones?

Romney gave a great speech.  He shut down the quasi-socialists like Newt, Perry, et al, endorsed the Cut, Cap, and Balance (very significant, repeats his endorsement from many months ago), and generally hit all the right notes.  Romney is exactly what this country needs.  He will be a great president.

Sorry I have not said it before, but welcome  TVNewsViewer

Who is your guy?

Always reminds me of ketchup

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoLoyg3JKRQ&feature=related

Polygamy was practiced by many early settlers of the US- and many people that headed west.  It was also practiced by Native Americans. 

Remember the government does not give rights, they take them away. 

“Anti-polygamy laws in the United States also sprang from religious
conflict. In the mid-1800s, widespread public hostility arose toward the
practice of polygamy by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, known as Mormons. A small religious sect in the
territory of Utah, the Mormons believed that their founder and prophet,
Joseph Smith, had a divine revelation in 1843 that called for men to
marry more than one woman; in 1852 the church announced that the
practice was religiously superior to monogamy. This position angered
critics throughout the country, ranging from religious leaders to
novelists, editorialists, and particularly politicians. In 1856 the
Republican party’s first national platform denounced polygamy and slavery as “those twin relics of barbarism.” Legal controversies over the propriety of prohibiting polygamous marriages persisted in the United States for 150 years”

Also, I would say a man marrying multiple women is closer to a man marrying a woman than a man marrying a man (and I am for the later). 
 

How does anyone who hates racists let this happen?

but he will never be president…

mitt makes john kerry look like ronald reagan..

OMG he used a teleprompter. I expect conservative criticism of this for the next month. If not then conservatives would be hypocritical yes?

can we expect obamas grades to be leaked, next?

asking questions about one of your socks? wow

Neocon just means “New Conservative” (should be obvious but it is not).  Those new Cons came from somewhere and that was the ranks of the Liberals.  They are, really can not be old school Conservatives.  Most Neocons did come from the 70s and 80s.  David Horowitz’s “Radical Son” details one such journey. 

Liberals try to call all Conservatives with a hawkish foreign policy Neocons, but that is just silly- how would they be different from the old Conservatives?

BTW- Mitt does not fit into the whole Neocon thing- on the most basic level as he has been a Conservative (however shaky) his whole life and his Conservative ideals come from his father. 

FWIW- I consider myself a Neo-Libertarian (not really liked by the Paleo Libertarians).

Do what you want, but if call any Repub a RINO you should probably do it as praise (after all, he would be one of you if he were a true RINO).

When you call him a RINO as a way to take him down it just makes Conservatives laugh at you.  

LOL he said what you wanted to hear bonehead. He wont do any of this crap. CUT CAP AND balance my ass. You are a fool to believe this. He trys any of that shit as president he will see any majority he might have in the house and senate get blown out of the water. You guys have no concept on the waves politically this country moves in. One party over reaches bam they are done. The other party over reaches bam they are done. Its as simple as that. One party get complacent after a win the next election cycle the other party has a big turnout.  JUST LOOK AT HISTORY for once.

Maybe you should worry about you guy having 1 accomplishment.  We cant even say Romney has a multiplier of Obama’s yet.  Once the Zero gets something done we can say cute stuff like “one-hundred-fold”. 

I’ll put the Crispin Glover remake on my rainy day list.  Ben, sigh, the best song from a movie about killer rats, evah.

This is why a true tea party never existed. It was an anti-obama party period. The tea party if it truly existed would oppose Romney at every turn. He wont cut one red cent out of government.

This is amazing to me. Conservative support Romney. You guys are truly clueless. You went from hey cut government and taxes to well he can beat Obama, even though he will basically do the same thing as Obama. If he tries to over reach his majority in the house will get blown sky high in 2014.

Your logic is inescapable, much like Mr Gingrich’s past.

Thank you for that info.  which tells you something about the NH primary system, which is not the same in the rest of the states..

Independents should never be allowed to vote in a primary, as that’s why they register as Independents, and not Republicans..  but hey, logic and common sense, go figure..

I’m sorry, I guess you’re right..  Iowa and NH, speak for all Conservatives and Republicans in the country..

Wow, thank you for that insightful, intelligent and mature comment assesment..  I guess you’re right..  Tea Party Reagan Conservatives, should never be allowed to have,, let alone stick with our principles, values, and opinions..

tsk, tsk, tsk..

Have you ever tried to actually speak in a respectful dialogue and debate context, where civilized people actually confer with other people, without personal petty immature snide verbal attacks..  No, I didn’t think so, you should try it..

Did you know, that there are people in the Tea Party, that are actually not conservatives, but pretend to be, thus make contradicting, aka, opposite, opinionated statements, concerning Tea Party conservative stands on certain positions, and policies..  I know, it’s true..  amazing isn’t it..  Kinda like liberal Jews, who say preposterous ludicrous things, that only serve to benefit the enemies of their Freedom and Liberty, thus unconsciously working towards the demise of Israel, and their own lives..  I know, amazing isn’t it, how their own unconscious ignorance and stupidity, can destroy everything in life, they hold dear, for everyone, not just them, and yet when it’s all gone, all they can say is, ” OMG, what have I done” ..  well, by then, it’s too late..
 
Complacency, ignorance, and indifference, breeds Apathy and Stupidity, then disaster.  You never know what you have, until you lose it..

Yeah, there are 5th Columns in every organization, and there are also many politicians who latched on to the tea parties after they became a political force. I do think the tea party people have to be careful about who comes to them claiming to be a conservative. I spent many years voting for “conservatives”, many of whom spent their time in and out of government, milking the system and running up deficits. Nowadays, I use my intuition to guess how a candidate will perform once elected.

Romney endorsed the CCB, cut, cap and balance and even mentioned it in his victory speech. The tea parties endorsed it as well. I think the tea parties are sincere – they are just grappling with many fake conservatives like Newt, and hopefully, they are moving towards ability as opposed to a purely ideological choice.

Balancing the budget is not over reaching.

: ) glad to hear that..

If Romney takes the teleprompter to talk to schoolkids, then yeah, you will have a point.

I’m loving that Ron Paul came in 2nd.  Keep splitting that Republican vote you crazy bastard!

that’s old hat.

I can’t have a little fun? It was ok, when the shoe was on the other foot.

I can’t joke around and have a little fun? It was ok, when the shoe was on the other foot though four years ago. Give me a break. Besides, “corporations are people my friend.”

The sad part is that at least I am joking around with this Mormon stuff. The Obamahaters  with the Kenya and Muslim stuff actually meant it.

I joking about the Mormon stuff of couse. It was ok with Obama when the shoe was on the other foot though?

god. does romney’s kid ever close his mouth? or blink?!

Move the goalpost move the goalpost.

Damn straight it is if he trys to balance it with cuts only. Its impossible.

Well, “The Big Fix” is in! Romney news network (formerly FNC), has all but annointed their moderate Mitt (MM) to what is left of our Republican party. Disgusting feeling in my gut, suppose its drop, drop, fizz, fizz for me today. Gingrich takes a high 35% going into Iowa, 40+% for SC, leading in Fla. and had closed the distance in NH against Romney, leading the national polls and could defeat the apostate Obama. What happened? Well, the 8-9 negative blistering adds per hour in Iowa, pounding on Newt several days before Christmas through the Iowa Caucus, and not a peep out of the Romney News Network (RNN). All done with no mercy, by a so called Indpendent PAC. blah, blah, blah. Please. Romney lied about knowing the adds true substance, along with the long nose awards he receives for the lies. The media has propped up Ron Paul, and Santorum specifically dedicating to oust Romneys biggest adversary, Newt Gingrich. 45% of NH voters were Independent or democrat (huge numbers!!!!) and voted for Paul and Romney yesterday. Liberals are allowed to pick the republcian candidate, wow. Thats as idiotic as Republicans picking the dem party candidate.

Now, the shoe is on the other foot and Romney is being exposed for his ruthless so called capitalist ways with Bain, his pro abortion stance, and the establishment, along with the RNN is leading the charge against Newt to help Romney counter this gutting exposure. The media expects to assist Romney in marginalizing Newt in SC, but I suspect the SC voters are gonna have much to say about the moderate candidate bringing his pink slips south. Watch the polls that are being conducted, they are ambiguous, and deceiving, at best.  All being set up to force one to give up. lol! Hang in there my republican buddies-Newt crowd, its just getting started.

By now you must know that I love this guy,and hope he is our next president.  His speech last night was wonderful – very presidential.  He goes into SC with the lead. 

Last night the people of NH proved that they want to win the WH.  Will SC show us the same?  I hope so.

@OSTL:disqus …..hhaaaasseeee..Would you like to work from home? Read more here: LazyCash4.com and you will find out how to get a nice income every month.

Glad to see the same full time government handles shared their “insight.”

Romney, speaking on Fox News, pointed to the single-digit voting percentages for Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry Tuesday night as examples of how “this kind of attack on free enterprise is not gaining traction for them.”

I agree.

Mitt needs to keep the ugly kid hidden.

As the USA spirals ever-downward into mediocrity.
