Aren’t you glad that Romney had the class to step aside?

Given all these headlines:
Obama Calls Grandmother ‘Typical White Person’ in Radio Interview
Obama-Clinton Feud Escalates With Racial Remarks
Clinton team readies for Obama full assault
Race Debate Complicates Obama and Clinton’s Fight for African-American Voters
Isn’t it nice that Governor Romney stepped aside for the good of the party, and didn’t cause us to be embroiled in the kind of mess that the Democrats are in? Now that Mike Huckabee tried as he could to continue it on for us, but thankfully the people took care of that little problem.

Yes. The conservatives in Canada haven’t been able to get a majority in decades precisely because they can’t unite. It takes a big person to be humble enough to unite the party rather than rule it into ruin. Mitt will be back. His leadership and example will be unbeatable.

Yes. I am really, really glad. I am happy with the fact that the man I support still is a classy guy with a lot of Integrity. GO MITT!!

Go Mitt!! I just heard on FOXNews that in February John McCain raised $11 million. In comparison Clinton raised $35 mill and Obama raised $55mill.
I still have not contributed to the RNC until Mitt Romney is asked to be the VP in 2008 and I pray that Romney will accept. He’s the best!!
No Mitt-No Money-No Mccain

I dig Doria’s catch phrase: No Mitt-No Money-No McCain
Mitt is a true class act. I’m glad in a way that he’s not going to be barraged on his religion to balance the sch laking Obama’s taking for his ties to J Wright.

I read through those articles and I must admit I couldn’t actually finish any of them! These people are just so disgusting! I have such a hard time with that level of competition and vitriol. They both are just so “not nice”. Yes, I am glad Mitt is not being so exposed to the ugliness they all display. I am going to be both sad and happy if he is invited to share the ticket with McCain. I am afraid of what they may try to do to him. He is already so villified on some of the comment boards; for his religion and for some policies and things that happened in MA. Sometimes, it is so hard to know what to pray for! I am afraid of what they would do to him… But yes, I am grateful that he is such a class act…. KKSM

Through out all of the Democratic debates, Obama would not even look Hillary in the eyes when he got up the nerve to criticize her. Obama is such a coward.
I was afraid that Obama’s questionable relationships with Resko, Wright and any other Farrakkan types that he may have associated with, was going to give the nomination to Hillary, but Barack’s lead will withstand any challenge that Bill & Hill can throw at him. The media’s love affair with Obama will never die.
Now back to Obama’s cowardly, phoney ways. Since Barack is afraid to look Hillary in the eyes, just think how bad that “Mean Old Man McCain” will cow him.

KKSM:
I think I might have an idea of what to pray for. How about pray for the truth to be found out by those who are ready to hear it. Pray for Mitt to be strong when and if he is asked to be VP. Pray for the hearts of these people to be soften. Pray for all these things and do it very often. Hope that helps.
Bruce:
I have heard that exact same thing from my friend who followed the Democratic debates more then I did which means i didn’t watch any of them nor intend to. I have no time to listen to rhetoric which is all that the Democrats are spewing out of their mouths these days. Thanks for your opinion. That is so true. I must admit that McCain does have this “old man” stare that quite frightens me sometimes. If McCain is president that is going to be quite a change from the friendly face of President Bush. Whatever you think of the man President Bush has a nice friendly face.
Lets keep those emails and calls going to the RNC and the McCain campaign. If McCain wants money he needs us Mitt supporters.

Oh Sarah, what you said is so true and so necessary especially the part about softening the hearts of those who need a softer heart…
I guess when I said that, I was saying I am afraid to pray that he gets the nomination because I am so afraid of what they may do to him. I mean, what do you pray for: Please bless our nation that we can get this great man in there so that he can get crucified? That scares me for him…. However, all that being said, there is the hardest pray of all to utter… “thy will be done”.
Your counsel was great and right on and a wonderful comfort to me… thank you very much.
I hope Cat doesn’t leave us and decides to stick around…. KKSM

I like the idea of Romney getting offered the VP position. Though I don’t believe he would have much influence as VP usually do not. I think Cheney was the exception. I think we are in for some hard times. I feel like McCain may be good on the security front but I worry he may start more wars.

Like Barack, and Mitt, any many others, my hopes are for us to be a unified people, and hence I don’t want Barack to part from his pastor; they’re both in positions to bring further progress on racial issues and in that regard there are things they could accomplish that Mitt probably couldn’t. Rather than Barack coming forward and distancing himself from Reverend Wright, I would be much more pleased if Reverend Wright would come forward and state that the support and good will that Barack has received from so many Americans of all races is evidence that things he has stated are inaccurate and that we’ve crossed a threshold were we should choose a color-blind government; while encouraging our private citizens to continue their convincing vigilance in support of a color-blind society.
Happy Easter!

Anne, I know that you meant well, but the phrase “for the good of the party” which you used, just struck me wrong. I am a conservative first, and I will belong to any viable party which will promote its goals and ideals. Indeed, I ran for Congress in ‘04 as a Republican. But right now, I am seriously pondering whether the “good thing for the party” is to win, or to have its RINO candidate trounced to teach our closet Democrats a lesson. At one point on this board I implied that McCain was the devil himself (only half joking). I could not conceive of a scenario wherein I would vote for this “moderate” Republican (the name “moderate” makes me feel nauseous and it is a subterfuge) and adding Mitt would not make one. Why? Look, as a Texan, I knew that Bush was a go-along-to-get-along Republican. That is: Bush was, and is, no conservative. But when he picked Cheney as his VP, I thought that the conservative Cheney would bring Bush rightward a bit. Now, despire ALL THE HELL that the left has given Cheney, far too many Democrats have admitted what I already knew: Cheney has had precious little influence on Bush’s policies. From the prescription drug program; to arsenic regulations; to NCLB Act; to the “new tone” aspect of his presidency, Bush has largely ignored Cheney’s influence. Indeed, Cheney opposes all of this, to no avail.
McCain is much like Bush but only worse. Adding Mitt only risks saddling our guy with the taint of another “moderate” Republican president who will–like ALL of the others before him–be mystified that he is no longer loved, but savaged, by the Washington media, despite all that he’s done for them. With McCain, Mitt is clearly endangering his future prospects.
The ONLY reason that I could possibly vote for McCain is the United States Supreme Court. Stevens will be 88 in a month–he is waiting for a Democrat to replace him (of course, he should just look at Souter and step down now). If McCain can make any difference on a 5-4 Court then maybe he should be given the chance. But I honestly cannot say that McCain will make a better Supreme Court Justice choice than even Obama.
People here talk about praying. Pray for this: May God bring back a Ronald Reagan who espoused conservative ideals and, instead of looking at polls, did his best (successfully) to convince the masses that they were wrong and he was right. With the exception of Iraq (where Bush feels called by God himself), Bush has followed polls even more closely than did Bill Clinton. That’s a hard statement to make, but it’s true.

Mitt could be the econommic V.P. In charge of the economy , McCain has already said that he needs help in the economy . If Mitt can fix the economy , he would be on the way to the next party nomination.
NO MITT-NO MONEY-NO MCCAIN

After McCain and his willing accomplices in the media kept Mitt from getting the nomination, I was so heart sick that after Mitt pulled out, I just turned my news channels off, and refused to be part of the process. I think most people on this blog know how I felt, because Mitt had given me such hope for this Nation, and I was so sure he would secure the nomination.
Then when I found out that Obama had a legitimate chance to send Hillary packing, I turned the news channels back on. It’s hard to tolerate MSNBC, as well as some of the people on Fox, but the best part of all is the fact that unless Obama has some tremendous legal problems surface, he has the nomination for the dems. secured. Bill and Hillary don’t have the nerve to face the Obama backers down by trying to steal the nomination via the super delegates.

Bruce, Bill and Hillary have the nerve for ANYTHING! It’s just that they don’t have the clout anymore to do it.
March 25th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Ah, yes, for the good of the party. But which party? Looked like he quit for personal reasons, knowing he wasn’t making headway this cycle. Huckabee stayed in to keep McCain in the news. And when Huckabee left, so did all of the Republican news coverage. With no coverages comes no money. $10M for McCain compared to the Democratic $90M (from mostly small donors).
Sounds like a good year for “none of the above” to take first place on the ballot.
