The primary in Florida was a joke. The master liar, Romney, bombarded the state with his lies about Newt Gingrich to such an extent that it was very difficult indeed to hear anything truthful about Newt. I am changing my voter registration to independent. I've had it with the republican party.

Florida let the nation down. I don't like Newt any better than anyone else does. But we CANNOT have Romney in the White House. He is a socialist just like Obama, except he wears elephant perfume.

SHAME....ROMNEY HE AS BAD AS OBAMA......HE IS A BIG-TIME RINO....

PLEASE WAKE UP PEOPLE.....

I still do not have a firm grasp of what any of these candidates, if elected, plan to do or would do to solve the myriad, dangerous problems facing our Constitutional Republic. All I have seen so far is cakes and circuses.

The biggest danger to the current Republican Presidential candidates is their constant sniping at one another. They aren't the oponent they should be worrying about, President Obama is!! I don't want to hear them point fingers at each other and tell us what a terrible person the other candidate is, I want them to tell me how their going to replace President Obama and his disastrous policies with something that won't continue to drag the country down.

This is a scary comment.

It was a disgusting time while the candidates were in Florida. They took over the airwaves with distortions, lies and manipulation of the voters. The GOP has proven once again that they have their "next" candidate in line and no matter what the people want - their guy will be the one to be crowned. Nothing will change in America with Mitt Romney in office. He is a RINO and will stand for things I do not believe in. Conservatives have lost the ability to be heard. We are the saving grace of America but the parties are not interested in changing. It's a damn shame.

I'm not certain the impact of Florida other than it seems the Republicans have focused on slinging mud at each other, dragging out the worst they can find in each other and failing to focus on core issues. I guess that is politics. But now more than ever, the undecided public needs to hear about Obama's failings, plans to right a sinking economy, and see a leader who is strong enough, consistent enough, and brave enough to rally this nation.

The Florida Primary will best be remembered as a painful lesson to suffer through, but it was necessary. It brought out the ugly side of politics, thereby battle-testing the candidates for the Fall election. Although it was distasteful, it will make the GOP presidential candidate a lot stronger and more prepared to take on the slings and arrows of the on-coming Obama campaign. In other words, as difficult as the Florida primary was, it marks a turning point in the election. Now, can anybody say "election reform"?

IT IS CERTAINLY NO SUPRISE THAT MITT WON FLORIDA, MOST OF THE COUNTIES WHERE HE WON ARE FILLED WITH FOLKS FROM THE NORTHEASTERN STATES,WHO HAVE RETIRED TO FLORIDA,BUT STILL THINK OF THEMSELVES AS CONSERVETIVES. I FOR ONE WHO SPEAKSFOR A GOOD PORTION OF FOLKS OUT WEST IN NO WAY CONSIDER MITT,OR NEWT CONSERVETIVES,THIER RECORDS CAN'T BACK EITHER OF THEM MAKING THAT CLAIM

Florida Election: I AM SICK!!!

I'm not a Romney supporter but believe the Republican leadership have already determined he will be the nominee.

With that said, its tragic that the Republican Party has no candidate of the type needed now who is committed to conservative principles and one which not only the majority of conservatives can support without reservation but has a real chance of getting the majority of independent and even some liberal votes.

As with Bush II, the choice will be the lesser of two evils. Not very conducive to a good future for this country.

The "Money talk's". Has been proven. This is what put Obama in the Oval; Office.

The establishment wants to stay in their cushy posistion, And Newt knows who they are, and how to defeat them.

Romney confessed that he didn't think he couls defeat Obama. SO why are people looking to him for solutions.

The fake SS # of Obamas, should be worty of exploration, don't one think.

Thank's for listening.

Sincrely Yours

Florida is a huge mistake for the Republican Party. A wedge has been driven between the Conservative wing and the liberal wing of the Party. Flip Romney is the most dishonest individual running. As a true Conservative I will not tolerate a liberal and a dishonest one at that. I do hope that this is Mitt's flavor of the month because I will spew this flavor out and yell "YUCK" If Romney gets the nomination it will prove beyond a dout that the Republican Party is too corrupt to survive. It may be time for the Conservatives to bring forth a good party and allow the liberal side to founder and die.

This whole thing is out of hand. Three primaries, two of them open, and one meaningless caucus and now it seems the trend is to coronate Romney. Good grief, do I have to go to my state primary in April again with no choice?? In '08 that was the case. McCain had been annointed and all I had was McCain, Huckaphoney and Paul. I cast a vote for everything on the ballot except President. Seems I wasn't the only one. Why does this have to be decided before the primaries barely get started and disenfranchise most of us. I'm fed up with the endless pressers they mistakenly call debates and and really fed -up with the primary process as it stands. I have no input.

Gingrich lost in Florida for one simple reason. Romney & his campaign machine goaded Gingrich into getting "off message" and making retaliatory mistakes. History teaches (Reagan & Obama, for example) that the American people overwhelmingly respond to a well articulated vision that is positive and hopeful. A vision of a better future is more attractive than ideology to the mostly uninformed American voter. This election will be tough for Obama to sell a vision because there is ample evidence that he couldn't deliver on his 2008 promises - IF the Republican candidate exploits that fact. Remember, he was elected in spite of overwhelming evidence that he was not prepared to lead the country then and his ineptitude has now been proven. Republicans would do well to study the Reagan playbook and take the high ground. If they don't and if Obama can sell his hope and vision again, he will be re-elected.

GEORGE SOROS SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THIS WEEK "ROMNEY OR OBAMA" IT DOES NOT REALLY MATTER. THEY WILL BOTH BE THE SAME. AMERICAN'S HAD BETTER START LISTENING TO WHAT HE SAYS. HE MEANS IT. I AM SICK OF POLISHED POLITICIANS AND MITT ROMNEY IS AN EMPTY SUIT JUST LIKE OBAMA.

I FOR ONE, WILL NOT VOTE FOR MITT ROMNEY. IF AMERICA IS TO BE RUINED, LET BARACK OBAMA DO IT.

Newt & Mitt can now spend their time attacking each other while Ron Paul keeps preaching the message and winning converts.

If Romney gets the nomination we might as well call the election off and save a lot of money. whichever one wins will be what we already have, the finishing up of disaster!!

Gosh...golly gee whiz. We Conservatives should now all bow down at the feet of dear old establishment Romney and offer homage. Well, as the old saying goes, "it ain't over til the fat lady sings."

Leave it to Beltway Republicans to join the media, including supposed Conservative media, to practice obscurantism. Bravo. But I choose not to be impressed or overwhelmed.

There seems to me too much focus on who won what primary when. The process will play out and we will get a nominee. The eventuall nominee must be supported against Obamao. Making Obam a failed one term president is the goal. Congressional takeover, both houses, by Contstituional Conservatives is More Important than the White House as this point! Get rid of the marxist statist Democrats and RINOs, and even if the Chairman is re-elected, he and his idiot savant Biden can be impeached for their treason.

I’m absolutely convinced that Newt Gingrich is the junkyard dog we need to rip Obama a new one and send him running back to his Chicago slime pit with his tail between his legs. Newt has plenty of DC experience as Speaker, executive ability from his many enterprises, and a silver tongue that’s razor sharp! He’s fast on his feet, delivers it straight up with no hemming and hawwing, and is often witty. His work with American Solutions was very impressive and as we’ve seen recently, he is able to put into words what the vast majority of Americans really believe. His fevered brain also has plenty of ideas for making government work better for taxpayers. Is Newt pure as the driven snow? No - none of the presidential candidates are in line for sainthood. Whatever Newt’s much-touted “baggage”, it pales next to Obama’s habitual lying and outright corruption - and unlike Obama, Newt is 100% American. Newt is like Larry the Cable Guy: send him to DC and he’ll “Git ‘er done” for all of us. Junkyard dogs are not show dogs, but they’ll save your bacon! Why would you take a poodle to a dogfight? Go git ‘im, Newt!

I'm disheartened that we'll have the lesser of 2 evils to vote for again in this election! I'll vote for Romney should he win the nomination but to really turn this country around we need a Newt Gengrich or Rick Santorum. Romney is just another Rino who will just continue to take us down the same path as Bush but not as fast as Obummer. We need to get rid of Obummer Care, balance the budget, get rid of the regulations that have been set up in the last 3 years and I'm just not sure that Romney will do all this!

Politics is a blood sport and this time around, the stakes are very high for ourselves and our Nation.

Think of the Republican primary process as a no-holds-barred slugfest where the best man wins after knocking out all the rest. That’s the guy we want to be President. I wouldn’t worry too much about them ripping each other apart - these are big boys who can take care of themselves. The losers will still be alive afterwards to write a book or sell real estate.

“The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men...Samuel Adams. We want someone we can count on, so we need to know if they've got what it takes to go the distance!

My money is on Newt Gingrich - he's never afraid to wade in & mix it up!

If RINO Romney is our candidate it will be a "Dole" or "McCain" loss as usual. RNC and DNC are two sides of the same coin. Lame stream media and Obummer WANT and Romney candidate. That will mean go slow socialism for 4 years until they can get in and rev it up again.

For the reasons noted by Walter Williams in The Patriot Post a few weeks ago, I am afraid Obama is unbeatable. I fear he will get another term to finish his mission of destroying this country.

I will hold my nose and vote for whoever gets the nomination on the right. But it troubles me deeply that Gingrich and Romney are the best they can get to run for POTUS. I'm thankful I am an old guy and probably won't be around to watch the further deterioration and evolution into a 2nd rate country, but sad that I have kids and grandkids to have to live through it.

In an exit poll Newt was chosen as most conservative and Mitt was chosen as most electable. The most electable candidate is the one who we support in the general election. If Mitt runs right and governs toward the middle we lose. Every compromise with the progressive democrats is another half step toward socialism.

We 'know' Obama is bad news for America ... the continuing problem as I see it is the Republican party keeps offering half-donkey candidates! Mitt or Newt... are you serious?? Rick Santorum is conservative, has no baggage and is electable.

All elections are really about the character of the voters, not the candidates; the candidates already know what they stand for. Water seeks its own level, and voters are seeking a candidate like themselves - their moral comfort zone. Our Christian-based Constitution operates and survives upon a Christian-moral majority; when that is lost, either in numbers or character, America collapses upon them.

Bob Webster

We 'know' Obama is bad news for America ... the continuing problem as I see it is the Republican party keeps offering half-donkey candidates! Mitt or Newt... are you serious?? Rick Santorum is conservative, has no baggage and is electable.

To Jon Gaymer:

I too am an "old guy" and have said the same thing about not being around to see it. Obama CAN be defeated; but more importantly the House and Senate WILL be owned by the GOP after the next election so; even IF the big O gets re-elected, it will be a new game. Have faith and do whatever you can in your sphere of influence to make a difference.

As I have told my Congressman's office if you want to get a barometer of what America is thinking, check out the comments in the Patriot Post. Although Newt would be the Obama destroyer, Newt did made a pretty good showing. You have to consider several things in Florida, yes geographically and politically a very diverse state. Blood is thicker than water, We have alot of snow birds and and permanent migrants from all over, especially the New England. God Bless them because they really do help pay the bills. But one thing for sure calling Mitt Romney a Conservative is like calling Obama a legal immigrant. You have to convince me a guy who was a former governor of Mass., a very liberal state, how a conservative got elected in the first place. One thing more and I am only repeating what I heard on live radio during the John Kerry and George Bush election. John Kerry better win, I voted three times, Once here in Florida by absentee, once absentee from my other home in New York and can you believe it, I went to the polls and my name was still on the roster so I voted a third time. What are computers for if they don't add, subtract, compare and store information?

Mitt's advertising has been 92% negative and 92% misleading and deceptive. If a man will do that to get the nomination, once he has the presidency do you really trust him? Not me!

yes! I am thrilled that I am American - - -but--I am SOOO sick of this primary circus. Why is it that the guy with the most money and the biggest crime lord buddies, not the best resume`, alwaya wins. And us little guys are left to choose from who the powers-that-be have selected for us !#$%&*!! But it still beats the beans out of all other countrie's politics. SMD

We in Florida did our job, and now we invite the rest of the country to do theirs. It's time to get off the defensive and pin our oppostition to the wall with their abysmal record, which is written in stone and is not just a whim overlooked by the major networks. Either rally round the flag NOW or sweat the small stuff until that flag is no more.

God bless America, the moral America that has God as its inspiration.

The RNC called me for the upteenth time trying to squeeze more money. I told them straight, the estblishment GOP, RNC, the NRSC, etc. etc., probably cost us the Senate in the last election. You have misbehaved with my money and since I earned it, you need to modify your behaviior if you expect more. I am tired of the talking heads deciding for the voters who we need to put in the White House. Mr Obama by telling us that a Republican will fundamentally represent a diffent view of America. this is about the only thing you have uttered that has made any sense, I remember your words, they are still ringing in my ears, "In five days we are going to fundamentally transform the United States." Your dumb ass constituency didn't figure out what you really meant. America you better get your collective heads out of your asses before it is too later. Mitt is not my favorite but I don't think he will be bringing the baggage as Obama has brought in, tax evaders, Socialists, Marxists, convicted Terrorist, A self proclaimed Communist and others who have ties to the same. FUNDAMENTALLY AND TRANSFORM, are words permanently embedded in my brain.

Not happy with the results. We need a real conservative and it isn't happening. I think the Republicans are destroying themselves. Not a good situation.

I feel saddened by the fact that so many Republicans call themselves conservative, but fail to vote that way in the Primary. The GOP Elite (minority) has succeeded once again to persuade the GOP Base (majority) to vote for their candidate instead of their own. Where is the conviction? Where is the outrage? Where is the integrity? We will never again elect a "Reagan" like this! And a "Reagan" is what we need to turn this ship around.

what a disgrace!!!our country is dying,,,our elections are being bought and sold..the voters are just puppets on strings..they have no reality..the pubic candidates buy the votes..he with the most money gets the votes...this has to stop..the reality is we have an uneducated electorate just following the drops of grain...money has to go in campaigns...the party in power must be prevented from buying the voters with candy...it is sickening to see obama increase the debtor gimmegang...no one is aware of anything but the trough of goodies and they vote on this basis...what happened to my country...my 6th grade education 65 years ago taught me more about my coun try than college grads today know and understand...the schools have perverted reality..i graduated harvard over 50 years ago and came out with an education and understanding of politics, democracy, economics, foreigh policy, ,communism, fascism, cultural differences...what are the students getting now...GARBAGE!!!1984, BRAVE NEW WORLD..YOU ARE HERE...IM AFRAID WE ARE TRULY FINISHED...THANK THE LORD I WONT BE AROUND TO SEE THE END...IT WONT BE LONG....

I find the race bait quote by Juan Williams to be particularly humorous. There is only one way those euphemisms could be taken to be racist, and that is if, and only if, you are guilty of racism yourself. Juan hears the words entitlement, poor work ethic, and food stamps, and he automatically thinks of blacks. Mr Williams, do not blame the GOP candidates for your stereotypical assumptions.

Obama's Demo-gogue quotes are spot on. The candidates should be talking about Obama's class warfare campaign. In addition, start educating Americans the difference between "Earned Income" and "Dividends". Reason Buffet paid 15% in taxes, was not due to Earned Income, but due to Investment Income. The dude makes $175,000 per year, but investment wise, what several hundred million, taxed at 15% as written by the democratically controlled Congress over the last 50 years. Don't let the Great Divider, Obama, get away with his lies and distortions!

"Pig like in appearance and demeanor, Henry Waxman fails to meet the low standards he sets for himself," said a native born Californian.

"That is a mean-spirited, stupid thing to say," I said. "Voters should not be deceived and held hostage to mean-spirited statements like that."

Re: Marvy. The commentator summed it up nicely. In reference to the education system, the long version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceEog1XS5OI&feature=related. I know most of you don't like me but check out the video taken from a debate.It relates tot he above named commentator. India has a new middle class while clueless Romney who wants to destroy the safety net. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ You can't have it both ways.

Newt lost for one reason, thanks to citizens United and I still don't know where a conservative came up with the definition, logic or reasoning, thinks corporations are people.

You will be bought and paid for. Suicide will come at our own hand. Newt, either love him or hate him, is a victim of policy run amok. I mentioned prior that some lobbyist make as many as 3 visits a day tot he same representatives. Money. it does't matter beyond that.

Romney wins big in Florida

Not Happy! Floridians must have been drinking the kool aid again!

Just proves that Romney bought the Florida election. Romney spend 15M to Newt's 3 M. What a shame that election propoganda is bought and paid for in America, and of course the news media loves the money. I sometimes wonder if the slant on the news media reporting depends on who is purchasing the most Ads. The news media jumped Newt when he didn't respond to Romney's attack ads in Iowa, when he did respond they jumped him again because he was too harsh, bunch of huskers.

Q.) Share you thoughts on the Florida primary?

A.) Both Republitard front-runners are front-men for the New World Order. It makes NO difference which one the NWO allows to be the (R) nominee. A banana slug would win the election against Osama Obama the Economic Terrorist. Check your history and look at Jimmy Carter's reelection bid. People vote their pocketbooks! The only hope for this once great country is Ron Paul, whether he is the (R) nominee or an (I) also ran. He will get my vote because the difference between Osama Obama and Rombama is fast forward or slow burn. I say let's get this REVOLUTION started!

Seems the Democratic Party is deciding to field the weakest candidate possible, for the Republicans to run against obama. The more I see from the Republicans, as the best candidates are systematically eliminated from the nomination, it seems that the Republican Party has again (like with McCain) to field a candidate designed to loose to obama. There is no difference (in my view) between obama and Romney, other that citizenship. Where is the Republican candidate?

By tearing each other up with attack ads and ripping each other a new one during each debate, Republicans are giving the Democrats all the attack strategy and talking points they need. Newt, Romney and the rest just need to shut the hell up before they convince EVERYONE there is no viable Republican candidate who will run for President in 2012. Newt and Romney are as exciting as McCain. They do nothing to inspire me, neither is a conservative. They are moderates to liberal moderates. So to me it comes down to a choice of the lesser of two evils. Newt or Romney. Then the lesser of two evils in Nov 2012,? or Hussein Obama. Whoever the ? Republican candidate is, they still get my vote. Obama has to go, I just hope and pray the Republican nominee grows a set of conservative ones and doesn't loose them on their way to the White House.

I read many complaints about how Romney is being chosen as our nominee and that we, the little guy, do not really get a choice. Problem is many of these same people will hold their nose at the last moment and vote for Romney who may be the worst of the evils. After 2008 I swore not to vote for the RINO and this time I will stick by my guns. Obama is honest about his liberalism and Romney is not. Therefore obama is more honest and the lesser of the evils. If Obama gets his second term we will watch. If Flip Rino Romney is elected then the Republicans will look the other way and make excuses. If we can not have good choices then what differeence does it make. Just say "NO" to RINO Romney. If Romney is the nominee then the Republican Party has left me behind and I will seek a better party for my affiliation. The Constitution Party is starting to look mighty good.

The two private clubs that run America hand out billions in tax breaks to big corporate donors, like GE. Big corporate donors pump millions into one or both clubs. The money to do this is being borrowed from future generations or just printed up which devalues all of us.

Neither club will ever allow a person who would stop this magic money machine to run as a club member, unless forced. The way to force one or both clubs to change this policy is to vote for someone who promotes fiscal sanity. If you vote for either club you lose. If you don't vote and let the lemmings continue to decide you lose. You must vote for a person promoting a sound fiscal policy and if 5% agree with you one or both clubs will change for one election cycle.

The object is not to establish another political club but to change policy for the better. If your club has more members in DC than the other club you will just have to make up more excuses why we are still going further in debt. If the other club has more elected members you can poke holes in their excuses for why we are going further in debt. If you can make your club do the right thing for one election cycle America wins.

Click here: Constitution Party Platform . If Romney is nominated then I will no longer consider myself a Republican. Not because I will leave the party but because the party has left me in the dust. If I can not have a clear choice then what matters??? Obama or obamalite it is all the same evil. -- Gary

It seems to me that a leak from the proposed pipeline would be a minor concern, because of all the oil and other minerals still in the ground. Isn't there concern that what is still there, might possibly be leaking into the ground water? What is preventing that natural resource(s) from contaminating our water? Why was it not a concern when they started drilling 100 years or so ago? They have punched thousands of holes into and through the ground water supplies without a major catastrophy.

Also, it has been stated that this Canada oil is thick and would need pressure and heat to move it through the line. If that is so,,, it seems that it would not readily soak into the ground, allowing for a realitively easy clean up.

Just wondering what the real reason is for voting against it.

Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. It's as simple as that. You can vent over and over again on various internet sites, but the fact remains that more and more of America doesn't have a vested interest in this country. If they did, the country wouldn't be on its way to becoming irrelevant, and having its populace enslaved. When "Americans" voted, things were different. Due to the introduction of the hyphen in order to determine one's nationality there are a vast number of people who don't know what they are anymore, and their loyalties no longer lie within these borders. It's been so subtle that it doesn't seem to me that anybody's even noticed. *See California's boycott of Arizona* Never thought I would ever see one state in my country boycott another on behalf of another nation. It's heartbreaking, but expected. We can't, for a second, think that human nature has changed much from the time of the Roman Empire. It hasn't.

I agree with Gator. This is why we need a system for "Voter I D". No one should be allow more than ONE vote. But with people living and migrating with the climate, there is a MAJOR NECESSITY for a better way of preventing anyone from voting more than ONCE. If they can punch data into a computer and tell you your life history, then it should be a MINOR task to do the same for elections.

Who is against it and WHY?

Romney played Gingrich in Florida. He used terrible, negative TV ads bought for $17.5 million to barrage the public shamelessly with twisted truths and lies about his opponent. Gingrich was so enraged that he did not come on in the debates as the positive candidate he had been in both the South Carolina and Iowa debates.

Gingrich should have ignored these audacious diatribes and moved away from retaliation. But, who can blame him?

Romney's super PAC was paid for by Goldman Sachs, with whom he has close financial ties, and who were the recipients of bailouts by the Obama administration. So is this the act of a conservative candidate? Not really.

The South Florida Democratic senator, Ted Deutch, is now proposing a constitutional amendment to limit corporations ability to fund candidates. The amount of money Romney spent "bought" his election.

It is a shame that both Romney and Gingrich are using attack ads etc. as this will be used by the Dems. in the General Election against the Primary winner. Once again we see that attacking the opponent, with more money seems to always win. Big money is what it takes to win an election in America in our time! Romney may beat Newt in the end because he has considerable more money and, consequently, a larger staff to do the "dirty work." My question is How can Romney beat Obama who has considerably more millions than he, Hollywood, and the News Media Elite on his side?!!!

they say the women won the vote for romney....guess that means Eve took another bite out of the apple!

First, I am not very fond of any of the candidates as my president. However, I read an article this week that convinced me that Mr. Romney is NOT the man for the job.

Mr. Soros, whom you know is the biggest Socialist/Communist/Liberal, or what ever, in the U.S. and a great enemy of constitutional freedom.

The article quoted him as saying that there was little difference between Obama and Romney. See

http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/SorosObama-RomneyNotMuchDifference/2012/01/28/id/425830?s=al&promo_code=E100-1

One thing the media misses is that Florida is NOT a "southern" state any more - to many immigrants from the 'NORTH' not to mention the Latino saturation. I just hope the people in the country do not get sold on Romney because he is in the lead but vote for the most conservative candidate available.

I also hope MANY states will remove Obama from their ballots as Georgia is in the process of doing.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! My computer is getting overloaded with achives from PatriotPost.

I would like to remind DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse of Sen. Edward (Teddy) Kennedy's insinuation that President Bush was behind the WTC attacks, in order to invade Iraq. That was echoed by the Democrat establishment, from DNC Chair Howard Dean, Rev's Jackson, Sharpton, & Farrakhan, our present Secretary of State, former VP Gore, and numerous lesser luminaries.

And lest we forget, we still haven't seen the video from the Madison Square Garden fundraiser for Sen. Kerry's presidential campaign, featuring renowned political statesperson, Whoopi Goldberg, among others. We know less about that than we do about SEAL Team 6 and their assault on OBL.

I would rather the candidates seeking the Republican nomination direct their cannons at Obama and not each other. It is to a point of nastiness which I know some in the party want. However, these guys participating a debate need to remind as often as possible who Obama is and what was promised and what was/wasn't delivered. And, the public should be hearing/reminded that no matter what the reality is that in 2014 taxes will go up and Obamacare will kick in. Those wanting to be elected by this conservative thinking person need to be talking about the Obama record and how it wasn't all of George's fault.

"To me, the real split among conservative voters is about whether it's actually important that a politician 'loves' us or is 'one of' us. Count me with the conservatives who could not care less.

In Romney's case it would be a soda, but that is beside the point and really should be. This quote spoke to me. I really see that Romney is a reasonable man that has great leadership abilities. He could bring in the right people to turn the ship around. If he would appoint Ron Paul as secretary of treasury I bet more of us could look past his moderate leanings and his religious beliefs. Romney could be easily persuaded to go more conservative with Paul in there to direct the information traffic.

I would be ecstatic!

As the old saying goes money talks and BS walks. Florida has many old people and I believe most can't make important decisions when it comes to canidates. Just look at Debbie Wasserman Schultz. When Bush ran for office they the older generation in Florida said they were confussed on what hole to punch, thank God. Most of people in Florida are retired and will vote for who ever promises them anything and that goes for most Americans. Florida should not be as important as any other. I wonder if Marco Rubio ran what the totals would be against Romeny. If terrorist bomb NY again I will never support another war. Most Americans and our politicans do not finish what they start.

Oh where to start! What is meant by conservative? To me it is not a fiscal matter, or a social matter, it is to preserve this great experiment in the governance of a people, i.e. “Our Bill of Rights and Our Constitution”. Just conceder what would be lost, in power and control, by those in the Republican Party, if we were to elect a true conservative. Those that served in the party that speak out against someone like Newt did so because He bucked the establishment. Can you say Ronald Reagan?

Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. It's as simple as that. You can vent over and over again on various internet sites, but the fact remains that more and more of America doesn't have a vested interest in this country. If they did, the country wouldn't be on its way to becoming irrelevant, and having its populace enslaved. When "Americans" voted, things were different. Due to the introduction of the hyphen in order to determine one's nationality there are a vast number of people who don't know what they are anymore, and their loyalties no longer lie within these borders. It's been so subtle that it doesn't seem to me that anybody's even noticed. *See California's boycott of Arizona* Never thought I would ever see one state in my country boycott another on behalf of another nation. It's heartbreaking, but expected. We can't, for a second, think that human nature has changed much from the time of the Roman Empire. It hasn't.

Time to STOP the sniping & BS and get down to showing the total ineptitude of Barry Sotero, or is it Barack Hussein Obama?

Mr Augeri I am one of those old people in Flordia, Iam not a native but it matters not, I've been here for about 14 years. I am offended at your remarks. I am alot more informed than most years and years my junior. You just made a valued judgement. what applies to one doesn't always apply to others. In my precinct we color in the oval. One of the problems in Florida are the attitudes of this very diverse population, many from very liberal states bringing these often liberal attitudes with them. Sonny Boy bone up on your facts before judging others. We arent too stupid and old down here, Charlie Crist turned on his constituents and we dismissed him. We also have a pretty darn good junior Senator Marco Rubio (R) and I live in the 15th Congressional District and we have darn good Congressman, Bill Posey, if Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DNC Chair. had been in our district she wouldn't be in Congress. Some of us are old but not finished. I have some time on my hands and will match political with you anytime. and at 74 years young, I am not dying on the vine.Retired Air Foce veteran.

Romney bought the Florida primary, pure and simple. Personally I see this as victory for the Democrats. It split the TEA Party vote & it gives a leg up to the candidate they want to face Obama, and I doubt Romney can beat Obama. The left, the entrenched Republicans elite, & the MSM Farce, I mean Force, have all joined forces to crush Gingrich, This tells me they are afraid of the changes he could possibly bring to the status quo. The progressive power & money base has been threatened by Gingrich.

This was far from a great result for Romney. After outspending his combined opponents ("not Romney") by more than 3-1, he only garners 46% of the vote! Not good.

Gingrich ran a poor campaign in Florida. He got into the trenches with Mitt and that was a bad decision. Gingrich needs to stay on message and ignore Romney, just as he did with his speech at 9 pm ET on primary night. Gingrich had a poor debate performance. His worst moment came as a result of his having gone negative on Romney. That isn't going to work, no matter what Gingrich can dig up. What will work is what got Gingrich back in the race in the first place, an unremitting enunciation of his program to undo the Obama excesses and get this Leviathan government back to its constitutionally legitimate size. That's a big job and it needs a lot of public understanding to undertake. This is a great time for Gingrich to be educating the public. He campaigns best when he stays on his message. He campaigns worst when he tries to attack others.

The great thing about the fall campaign is that nobody has to attack Obama ... he's done that himself with his record.

"During an interview with ABC, President Obama said, 'I make a mistake every hour, every day.' I wouldn't mind that so much if he didn't keep signing them into law." --Fred Thompson

I LOVE THIS!!!!!haha Gotta hand it to Fred. He nailed it...........what a quick wit~~

The Florida primary was bought and paid for by super-pacs and the Wall Street poster boy's money.

If the Republican party sends either of these anti-second amendment pro Obama Care global warming as a candidate, Obama has a very good chance of being re-elected for the end of Freedom in the United States, as we now know it!!!

But, with the connivance of the media, things can turn on a word or a phrase, today it's because Romney stated he wasn't concerned about the poor. The media doesn't care that he followed that with saying they have a safety net. The time will come when the Republican candidates will air their barbs at the real villain, Obama. I will vote for whichever one comes out of this, my vote, and hopefully a majority of voters, will say anyone but Obama.

So, the "Land of the newly wed, and nearly dead" has spoken. As Rhett said to Scarlett, "Frankly, My Dear,...!" All I really care about is can the Republican nominee knock that arrogant, socialistic lout out of the White House, and will we all be happy with what we get? I am going to vote for the Republican nominee no matter who they are. The time is fast approaching when the hopeful will have to start bashing Obama instead of the others. That's the meaningful time for me.

Just an itsy-bitsy reminder to Rep. Henry Waxman: If you want to criticize any group about being obstructionists, look no further then the Democrat controlled Senate and its leader, the Cowboy Poet of Nevada, who have yet to create a budget, and will not allow any House bills to come to the floor for debate. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

"The Obama administration has undertaken the most serious and sustained actions to secure our borders in our nation's history. And it is clear from every measure we currently have that this approach is working." --Janet Napolitano

This is absolutely true. When there are no jobs in the U.S., why risk an illegal border crossing? And it has only cost 4 or 5 trillion dollars. What a bargain!

Before the Florida election, there were two outside organizations running negative advertising. "restoring our future" ran muckraking ads about Newt Gingrich and then another organization, "Winning our Future" ran muckraking ads about Mitt Romney. I can't help feeling that these organizations are ways to get around the campaign laws.

On another note, I would have preferred for the candidates to say what they stand for rather than tear down the opponents.

Mitt Romney relies on big money and ego for his success. I am disappointed that Mormons embrace abortion, homosexual relationships, and every kind of evil condemned by God. He is a carbon copy of the man in the white house; so how can this country hope to survive if he should buy the nomination?

I need to add something. You include the correction of Mahar's ridiculous claim about Bush and Obama's debt counts, but you don't complete the story. Bush's debt wasn't $5 trillion. The total debt when Bush was inaugurated was $5.7 trillion and as you mentioned it was $10.6 when Obama took over. That's $4.9 billion. Additionally, the total US debt is now $15.3 trillion, so Obama has raised it $4.7 trillion, and that's in 3 years versus 8.

Good Lord, Rich Galen. Is that your leg tingling.

Starting to think that you're doing an impersonation of Chris.

After reading a number of comments I fear we are doomed to be subjected to another round of "destroy America's liberty" for 4 years. People, read the facts about Romney. Don't trust Soros, or the negative information being put out there. Trust that there is only one person who can stop Obama - and vote for him - whoever he is; because any one of those running is better. Try reading Ann Coulter or others who seem to have a better understanding of how things are.

I think Martha Westerbuhr must be part of the opposition because in her comment only falsehoods are put forward as facts. It is not reasonable to debate the lies but it is sad that some will believe and act accordingly.
