They're not pro-Romney, they're anti-Obama

There are relatively few Republicans deeply in love with Romney. (I except his family, friends and paid staff.)

There never has been. Romney won his nomination by being the most electable general election candidate in a weak and whacky primary field.

He won, in other words, not by devotion, but by default.

His campaign is fueled by dislike for and disappointment with Barack Obama. That dislike and disappointment is real.

Oh by the way, he outsourced his campaign buttons.

Absolutely true. I didn't read your article but I can tell you that most conservatives I know do not favor Romney.

We didn't want the jerk- we wanted a real conservative who will fight for conservative values- instead we got a big government "R" because the "liberal" and "yeller belly" republicans were afraid to nominate and support a conservative. I find these people to be of weak constitution.

But hey- Romney the robot is what we got. And the biggest thing Romney has going for him- He's not Obama.

I will most likely be voting for Romney- mainly because "He's not Obama". My hatred for socialists and flat out communist politics prevents me from voting for Obama, or any other anti-American Socialist.

Most people who lean to the right of "yeller belly" feel the same way. Obama must be defeated at all costs.

Get yer money out Romney!!

I'd vote for an empty chair before voting for Obama. He's going to be very dangerous for this country if he's no longer campaigning through his presidency.

I think this is one of the big, broad differences, on average, between a conservative and a liberal. A conservative doesn't have to love his/her candidate....but he/she can expect the candidate to do the right things for America. In the case of President Obama we have confused the whole "love" thing with wanting him as president. You can "love" or like the guy all you want...but to stand there bold face and suggest we should reelect him because he is a nice guy leaves my head spinning.

I don't want to take long hot showers with Mr. Romney....I just want him to fix our country. I don't need him to be my bestus buddy and shoot hoops with me....I want him to fix the friggin' economy. Can you see the subtle difference? It's about respect and compentency...not like or love.

They still don't have anything to justify their choice other than he's the "Not Obama"... Good luck with that...

You probably forgot about the "anyone but Bush" slogan that we heard in 2004. No surprise.

Okay LJ. Let's talk about how many businesses Mr. Obama has successfully turned around in his career. Let's talk about his private sector business experience. Geez...let's just talk about a business he has run in the private sector.

Say what you like about Romney and Ryan...they "get" the whole economics thing. They have experience in this area. They understand the concept of the bottom line and how to turn "red" into "black. They don't live in a fantasy world of creative statistics. That's why they will get my vote this fall.

I don't care what church they attend, what their thoughts are on abortion or who their favorite sports team is. I save those distinctions for my friends. In my President/VP I'm looking for a person who will lead. Someone who will bring both sides to the table and find compromise. True leadership to me is doing these tough things when the chips are down.

I'm happy you "like/love" Obama. What you do in your private time with posters of him around are for you and the media to decide. I'm looking for a leader...but all I see in the current presidency is an empty chair. Clint had it right.

Yes, they've pioneered the concept of out-sourcing, off-shoring and screwing people over by destroying their pensions and health-care... I'M certainly impressed. I always appreciate vulture-capitalists that think "Made in the USA" is a cute slogan, but shouldn't get in the way of wealth creation.

He's not a job-creator...He's a job destroyer. If you think I'd vote for some scumbag like that, you are sadly mistaken...

But it's nice to know that he needs a passport to go visit his money.

I don't think driving the Oscar Mayer weinermobile counts. Ryan is a life-long politician. What experience are you referring to?

If anyone is a lifelong politician- it's Obama and Biden.

Don't even get me started on that-
Obama even said in his "book" that the one job he had working for a corporation for a few months felt like "working behind enemy lines". This guy is an anti-American commie.
