Is this the new liberal/communist slur against conservatives to replace the tired old "Nazis/Fascists" ?

Are you guys running out of buzzwords after using up "racist", "homophobe", "bigot", and "hateful"?

May I suggest that all liberals crack open a dictionary and discover some new words to freshen up the debate.

FreedomWorks' Goal: Stop Mitt Romney In 2012
Gee, how thoughtful of you to be so concerned for the fortunes of the GOP. I'm sure your concern is thoroughly genuine and that if Romney were the frontrunner you most certainly wouldn't be starting threads about, say, the hypocrisy of the "baggers" (how old are you, 13?) railing against Obamacare while ignoring Romneycare, now would you?

Romney should dress up like Thomas Jefferson and rant about Massachusetts seceding if he wants tea party support.

Sadly, he has the albatross that's Brigham Young hanging around his neck. It's a shame..he seems bright and capable in several areas.

His religion is the least of Mitt's problems.

His dramatic, 180-degree flip-flops on nearly every single issue you can think of is Romney's Achille's heel.

That and the fact that Romney is not right wing enough to win the the GOP primaries. The base will eat him up alive.

At least two threads on here indicate that attacks on Romney within the GOP have already begun. This is going to be ugly.

Mitt Romney was never an option for the Tea Party.

The Right-wing may win the Republican party nomination (just like the Left-wing will win it for the Democratic Party) - but both of the party's nominated Presidential candidates will then migrate to the middle. This nullifies their party's choice and gives the American voters a choice of voting for the same person with just a slight variation of left vs right. Our two party system is really just two different shades of the same color. Rich people win - voters lose.

That's no buzz word in the least. It's the word that most accurately discribes these fanatics. You realize they hate and reject everything about the reality of what and who the USA is. They hate and direspect the government. They love a fictional America of yesterdays that in reality never existed. Like the Taliban they woud like to force their own vision od the country on the majority that sees things in a different light. Thy think that they are God's voice here on earth and that alone is just so distrubing.
It's a complete no brainer to think these zealots would ever support someone like Mit Romney. He's not "One of them". The emergence of these people has pretty well guaranteed the GOP will never elect another POTUS until they crawl back under the rock they sprung out from.
