I agree about the Jew, catholic etc remark but I don't think anyone's right to speak here should be infringed upon. Let it stand. This is still America.
Romney is the choice of the progressives (both R and D). He will lose because they know (bush, obama etc) he can't win. This is driven by a desire to let Obama take the fall in 2016 when the country will REALLY be in trouble so that a white horse candidate can ride in to the rescue. That is probably when the real shitstorm will ensue.
Rove is behind Romney. Rove knows he will lose. Rove and tptb will float a savior.
I'm not sure what the reason, but you're right about both R and D wanting Romney to be the candidate. Something terribly WRONG with this; R and D agreeing on the R candidate.
When it comes to a debate, Gingrich is the ONLY Republican candidate that can even come close to holding his own against Obama. Gingrich will "tell it like it is" while Obama will "tell you what you want to hear", in a fashion. One has to listen as much to what Obama DOESN'T say as to what he DOES say. And, be very very sure you heard what you THINK you heard. This guy is a MASTER at saying one thing and making everyone THINK he said something else.
This "agreement" (R&D) is a very good reason NOT to vote for Romney. TPTB are doing their best to get the same results they did in 2008, with McCain. He was down and out for the count when by some miracle he found himself the "golden boy" of the Republican Party; when the count hit 9. Didn't believe it then, don't believe it now. I'm sick and tired of everyone (FOX News included) PUSHING ROMNEY down our throats....again, something stinks.
While watching the last debate it hit me; the arrogance of Romney. We HAVE arrogance now and we don't need yet another trying to beat the most arrogant person I've ever seen in office. Although, I do believe the current resident will be sitting on the throne for yet another four years and THAT WILL be the complete DOWNFALL OF THIS COUNTRY.
