After Tuesday there will be alot more. However, I dont think that will end it. The other candidates have incentives to stay in to the bitter end.

I'm sick of the Whigs.

I'll vote on Super Tuesday (Gingrich) but I do not expect to vote in November. The GOP isn't worth my time.

People wake up... the door of opportunity is closing to keep Mitt Romney from gaining any more traction.
The time of fighting over who's candidate is the best is over.
Please wake up people, Jim Robinson before it's to late and endorse the candidate now who can beat Mitt Romney on Super Tuesday.
I call on Jim Robinson to drop his support for Newt Gincrich and give all his support and endorsement to Rick Santorum who now at THIS time, THIS moment who is the one who can win this Tuesday....
This is crunch time where the rubber meets to road, it's time to wake up for the sake of our country or we will have Mitt Romney as the GOP candidate this fall.


Please ? do what is right for our country, or both candidates Newt Gincrich , Rick Santroum and their supporters could be the losers after Super Tuesday...

I will no longer encourage the Republicans to do what they have been doing. No vote from me in November. Been there, done done. Got Romney. Got McCain. Got Bush. Got Dole.

I'm done. They got my vote and I got people like Obama.

Hell, I can stay home in November and get Obama just as easy.

The GOP needs to change. Voting for loser candidates does not send that message. When I stay home, I send the message: I've voted straight Republican for over 40 years and now my vote is no longer theirs.

GOP: get a clue.

This one was particularly hilarious!

To: AmericanInTokyo

Cantor has been castrated by Bohener. And DeMint has been castrated by McConnell. It’s just disgusting.

the "individual mandate" WAS the GOP agenda and planned method for enactment of any healthcare bills. Gingrich did it and so did others. At the time, it was their alternate to single-payer and they knew it would feed the insurance companies with millions of new customers. But once President Obama tackled healthcare, they HAD to find a way to be opposite, essentially taking away their own talking point and substituting it with a muddle of nothing.

Even the state of Tennessee's pilot statewide universal healthcare plan had an individual mandate:

The Rolling Hills Group healthcare reform plan calls for a structured private insurance system subject to robust government oversight, without the need for a new government plan. It would change payment and care delivery systems to eliminate unnecessary procedures, coordinate care, and reduce the overall cost of health care.

Hospitals would be required to focus on efficiencies and ensuring high care quality. It would drive all providers and payers toward an evidenced-based, patient-centered care model. The Rolling Hills healthcare reform plan also calls for payment reforms, with regional federal health boards determining payments based on regional and local cost variations.

All individuals would be required to have credible, portable health coverage equal to the federal employee health plan by 2019. The mandate would be phased in over 10 years to avoid flooding the system with new patients.

BTW I am so ashamed of myself for that joke.

But it really was the first thing that came to my mind.
