Dear Friend,
Because you are an important and valued supporter, I want you to be among the first to hear about an announcement I will make later today.

This afternoon I will endorse Governor Mitt Romney for President of the United States. <snip>
Sincerely,
Kelly Ayotte

So now she shows her true colors. F'n worthless RINO. [angry]
While I'll acknowledge she's better than Bass I'm thinking the voters here made a serious mistake.
 
Mitt Flop Romney has a proven record on not supporting Gun rights. Which ever candidate you choose in the primary, make sure he supports your right to own, carry, purchase, use, etc. firearms. The last thing we need is 4 years of a "Obama" with a "R" on his chest. The progressives would love to have gun control happen under a republican administration.
-Design
PS. I am supporting and have endorsed Dr. Paul. He is the only candidate who was willing to sponsor legislation to repeal the GFSZA.

If supporting a guy that can actually win makes her a RINO, then get me one of those T-shirts, too.
 
Obama might be able to win, why not support him if that's all that matters to you.

In a move of sticking my nose where it doesn't belong....

It's not the act of "winning" that ScottS is interested in, it's the defeat of Obama. Though I want Ron to win the whole shebang, I know it looks more likely that he will not win the primaries.

This will leave you with (R) vs. Obama......Obama winning is not an option for me, so I'll be voting for the (R)

I don't disagree, but Romney isn't an R. He's a D in disguise. Look at his record in MA - AWB extension, Romneycare, etc. If he's the only R who can beat Obama, than it's over and socialism won.


ETA: I'm not saying vote for Obama over Romney, or even don't vote for Romney in the general if he does win the nomination. I'm saying that at this point in the primary, coming out in favor of Romney as the best R is tantamount to saying that you want a Democrat in office, as long as he claims elephant-status.

Thanks, BigMike, that was well summarized.

Note I did not say "the only guy that can win," I said "a guy that can actually win." Actually, I like Rick Perry, and I think he can win, but I'm not about to pillory Kelly Ayotte, a woman who has been on the right side of every vote cast so far, as a RINO simply because she supports Romney. Nothing like eating our own.

Not all of us are single issue voters, and Rick Perry (and, yes, Mitt Romney) is a lot closer to someone I'd actually vote for than anyone else in the Republican field.

Look up "Pyrrhic victory" sometime.

Well she also voted to renew the Patriot Act spy on citizens act.

Rommney = Obama white "lite". [wink]

"lite" as in "lite" beer, "lite" butter, "lite" ice cream. No flavor, no substance and no pratical use.

AnybodybutMitt Please !

But, that is to keep us safe, don't you know.


I'm actually surprised by the amount of Romney signs in NH tho.

I would think that they are close enough (Viewing distance for Boston local news etc.) that they would see that Romney is a liberal statist.

So, voting for the Patriot Act, which was supported by the Republican leadership...makes her a Republican in Name Only...hmmm. I'm going to have to think about that math for a while.

Anyone that voted for the patriot act or for gun control is an enemy of the state. Simple as that. I'm not voting out one treasonous son of a b***h just to have another one take his place. I'll write in mickey mouse before I vote in that piece of sh*t rino.

Good plan. Let me know how Mickey does.

At least he won't push for another AWB. You know you're on a shooters forum right? I know you're from NH, but us in MA have to pin our stocks and use antiquated mags because of that douchenozzle. Sorry for coming off a tad bitter.
 
Ayotte supporting Romney is a home town move. Romney is pretty much the local boy. Former Massachusetts Governor, possibly still a legal Massachusetts resident though I'm not so sure, New Hampshire homeowner though I not sure if he still is that either, etc. Romney's edge in NH is merely a matter of geographics. The strategy is if Mitt gets elected Ayotte gets a good shot at moving to Washington to a cabinet post. Also, if Mitt cleans house in NH he looks good nationwide. If he wins NH by a percentage point or 2 he looks like he can't even carry the state next to where he was governor.

The local media is playing the home town game too making sure we hear every poll emphasizing how Mitt is going and making him look stupid when they make a big deal about other candidates catching up to him. The news in California or Georgia or Texas is twisted differently than it is here depending on who the media figures is their favorite of the bunch. You gotta figure Oklahoma and Kansas already have their Mormon effigies ready to burn Mitt in their states on primary eve.

It is important that when you vote you vote for the candidate that you really want. Why? Because NH is the first of many early primaries and the worse a candidate does early the better the chance they'll give up shortly afterwards and never give the rest of the nation a chance to vote for their choice. You don't win a prize by voting for the guy or gal you think will win at the expense of the guy or gal you really want to win. Even if your candidate is going to finish second or third or worse. Romney could clean house in NH and if Paul, Cain, and Huntsman drop out afterward their votes will go to someone else and their message goes silent. If you're going to end up voting for the lesser of two stinkers do it in the general election and hope that an R majority in both houses keeps gun bills from reaching a RINO if we should have to settle for one. It really becomes important to show an appearance of unity and support for whoever the R candidate is. This will make people on the bubble feel more confident and hopefully carry over into other elections.

The term RINO refers to their position relative to the parties nominal ideals (i.e. small and limited government, personal responsibility, rigid/originalist constitution reading). The fact that, in the last couple decades, the party leadership has been on a wholesale crusade to abandon those values is what led to the Tea Party and the ousting of a notable fraction of R incumbents.

But you're right, I think RINO is no longer a practical term (it doesn't get the point across anymore), and we should just start calling them Facist-Republicans.

Shooters forum or not, that doesn't make me a single-issue voter, any more than belonging to the 4Runner forum makes me vote my truck.

I'm sorry, maybe I missed it in all the scuffle. So, Romney wrote the AWB you're living under? Is that how legislation works in MA? Or, did he not veto legislation that passed with a veto-proof majority? And how are those two things the same?

If we've lost the Congress to the point the President's veto is the only thing holding off a renewed AWB, then we've got larger problems than this.

Last time I looked, the President doesn't write too much legislation unless Congress goes along.

Failing to veto a veto-proof bill is understandable. Actively advocating for such an asinine law is not. But let's see what Mitt himself thought of it:

Mitt Romney said:
Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.

What about the other people Mitt chose to surround himself with?

Kerry Healey said:
We are pleased to mark an important victory in the fight against crime. The most important job of state government is ensuring public safety. Governor Romney and I are determined to do whatever it takes to stop the flood of dangerous weapons into our cities and towns and to make Massachusetts safer for law-abiding citizens.

Sounds to me like his 2a position is pretty similar to that of Obama.

It is like voting for Scott Brown to keep Martha Coakley out of the Senate. You can vote for who you want to, but getting Oblabla out of the White House is a must. If Mitt were the Republican Candidate, voting for him for President would be like voting for Scott Brown for Senate - the best of two bad choices.

+1, why doesn't anyone have any integrity or conviction anymore, or demand the same of their representatives? The Romney apologists here make me sick.

who would you expect her to support?

If she can't manage to pick a freedom loving candidate out of all the contenders, then no one. Her job isn't to support other candidates anyway. Who she supports has no more bearing on my vote than who some homeless bum thinks I should vote for.
