Members phkrause Posted February 18, 2012 Members Posted February 18, 2012 Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said Sunday that while GOP front-runner Mitt Romney "is a great candidate," he's still evolving as a conservative. Palin is not yet convinced Romney is "instinctively" a constitutional conservative. "I am not convinced and I don't think that the majority of GOP and independent voters are convinced," Palin told "Fox News Sunday." "And that is why you don't see Romney get over the hump. He's still in the 30-percentile mark when it comes to approval and primary wins and caucus wins. He still hasn't risen above that yet because we are not convinced." Palin said she believes Romney is still "evolving" as a conservative after five years on the campaign trail and millions of dollars spent. But, she added, that's a high hurdle for all the candidates to demonstrate. "He still needs to be able to articulate what his solutions are to the challenges facing America -- but not just Mitt. All four of them," she said. "What I want to see is that candidate and I believe that most voters in the GOP and independents, we will want to see that candidate whom we can trust will just inherently, instinctively turn right, always err on the side of conservativism, which means smaller, smarter government, more empowerment for the individual, for the private sector," Palin said. Palin, who said Saturday that a contested GOP convention would not be a bad thing, said each of the GOP candidates has his strengths and they are able to hone them -- and deliver a more concise message -- if the race keeps going. "Each of them I believe they are getting stronger, they're getting better and that's what competition provides and that's why I want to see the competition continue," she said. "They all have something to offer and that is why it is a good democratic process in our republic."

Members phkrause Posted February 18, 2012 Author Members Posted February 18, 2012 Than lets see the proof of that! Saying so doesn't make it true. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
olger Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 A good friend of mine's daughter is a surrogate mother for Romney's daughter. Twins are on the way... But that doesn't make me an expert on his liberal/not liberal policies. At least he pays well. Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."
Moderators Bravus Posted February 18, 2012 Moderators Posted February 18, 2012 Is he more of a conservative than Obama? Given he's the only chance of a Republican replacing Obama, that's what you have to ask yourself. Quote Truth is important
Woody Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Santorum has higher rates of beating Obama in the National Polls than does Romney now. (according to Fox News.) Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

Woody Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Bravus - I've seen the polls change on this matter from one hour to another. No kidding. And whatever people are thinking now - has little or no bearing on what they will feel later. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

Dr. Shane Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 All this questioning of Romney's conservationism is hurting him in the primary but if he wins the nomination, it will help him in the general election. The reason Santorum got spanked so bad in Pennsylvania is because the Democrats were able to cast him as a radical conservative - and GOP turnout was low that year. Santorum could win but Romney has a better chance. Romney is has a better organization in place and can raise more money. Romney is also cut throat. We haven't even seen any nasty ads going after Obama yet. Obama is very vulnerable. Remember that most undecided voters end up voting against the incumbent. The most recent poll head-to-head has Obama ahead of Romney by 6 points. But that is 48 to 42. There are 10% undecided there and most of those will vote against the incumbent. Given that no negative ads are running against Obama and Romney has been getting attacked for a few months, Obama should be polling over 50%. He got a little State of the Union bump but the latest two polls have him under a 50% approval rating again. So I think either Santorum or Romney could beat him but Romney has a better chance. At this point I would vote for either of them. I don't think I would vote for either Gingrich or Paul. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity

ABC polls show that with the news of the economy getting better, and the unemployment are coming down slowly, Obama has gotten a boost in the polls, of better than 50%...which is better than what Bush or Clinton got at this time of thier terms in office .
