This must be anticlimatic to them and to Mitt fresh of his Iowa "win."

"“There’s only one person I’m interested in stopping and that’s Barack Obama,†said Bauer."
-------------------------------------------------->

Apparently that is not true. He is clearly interested in stopping Romney before he can get around to trying to stop Obama. Lying to themselves is part of the reason that the GOP is in the mess they are in.

This gives a new meaning to the term, "Soiling one's undergarments".

Couldn't happen to a better group of Greedy Old Poopheads.

It is so sad to think that a group of people still hate another group of people for noreason except for the color of their skin. People keep saying that the world is coming to an end but it won't happen until people get their live straight down here. They really think that by getting rid of this president is going to solve their problems but they are wrong. It would have been to their advantage to go with the progress, worked with the president instead they did the opposite and just made it more reasonable for other miniorties to run for president and to win.

It is just like the white father who try to stop his daughter from going out with the black guy, don;t work now, didn't work back in the slavery days either. The more you tell someone no the more they work and get that yes. Look how long it took for a miniorty to become president and there were others before Obama but he was the chosen one to get the job done. He will get reelected and if the republicans don;t straighten up after Obama there will be another miniorty elected and then they will really have something to cry about.

Please, please, please, please let them choose a candidate who will dedicate himself to their beliefs.

Please.

Then we can focus on the House.

Their idiocy seems to rise in direct proportion to their bigotry.

I think you will find that there are many more posts by conservatives here than would ever be allowed for liberals on sites like Free Republic.

You only need look at the number of fans of some of the most conservative posters to see that their thoughts are not censored.

That said, offensive posts do not make it past the moderators.

Awe, too bad, looks like the tea party agenda is on the train out of town. Romney is going to get the nomination and even if he wins, he's too smart to pursue a teapublican agenda that could cause him problems in a re election campaign.

These good Chrisians will have to decide who they hate more: the Mormon or the black guy.

What a political party.....if you don't like the religious affiliation or religious convictions of a candidate in your own party, whom the electorate is in the process of giving the nomination, you meet in Texas to identify, plan, raise and nominate a religious conservative member that meets the standards of the political elites in that party. What a joke.......

Just what I want. A bunch of ultra-right wingers using "religion" and "family values" to try to control US politics. These people should be exposed for what they are: protectors of the 1% using "moral issues" hypocritically to Republican voters not smart enough to know they are shooting themselves in the foot.
