Hello world-wide web, I come to you will news of drastic proportion, former GOP candidate Mitt Romney has decided to endorse GOP front-runner John McCain according to reports from CNN, Fox News, and the Associated Press.
Romney purportedly decided to endorse McCain on the basis of two key points. The fiirst being that he wishes ti endorse McCain to heal the rift he has created between himself anf the GOP frontrunner (sounds to me like a bid for the vice presideny in a nonchalant way). The second being Romney's desire for McCain to unite the Republican party in what is sure to be an epic fight between the GOP and DNC. I personally find the second comment as lack-lustered seeing as McCain will probably tear the Republican party to the root and will actually counteract the idea of a united Republican party, seens as McCain is more liberal in many instances than Mike Huckabee or Mitt Romney ever were or will be.
Also according to the released statements Romney is expected to "release" his delegates to John McCain which means that he requests that all of his delegates move to vote for McCain at the Republican National Convention. It all of Mitt Romney's delegates do in fact shift to McCain ,which is not entirely likely, McCain will have 1013 delegates which puts him only 78 delegates short of the nomination.
With this breaking news, the Republican party is that much closer to having a secured candidate (assumind no delegates reallign at the convention). In all likelihood, this has been a slap in the face for Mike Huckabee, and could possibly mean that the secret alliance between McCain and Mike Huckabee could be a null in void proposition.
As with my last post I will pose a question: Do you believe that Romney has made some sort of deal with McCain and we could have a McCain presidency tha includes both Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney as head executive branch officials of some sort.
Well, that's kind of embarassing considering during Super Tuesday, the West Virginia Romney delegates all shifted to vote for Huckabee.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA that cracks me up. xD
when was this announced?
The endorsement was annonced at 4:00 pm on Thursday
O WOW...I had no clue it was that long ago
BIG surprise there, only not. I mean, come on: if Huckabee was publicly comparing you to Satanists during your campaign, would there be any way short of a gun to your head that you'd endorse him?
I heard he wanted to support McCain also because he's the only one that won't pull out of Iraq..and I agree with that! We should not pull out! Romney was a great candidate, and if he supports McCain, I think that shows that McCain deserves it, and I will give him more respect and support too
Huckabee was not going to pull troops out of Iraq either
"Withdrawal would have serious strategic consequences for us and horrific humanitarian consequences for the Iraqis. If we leave, Iraq's neighbors on all sides will face a refugee crisis and be drawn into the war: Iran to protect the Shiites; Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan to protect the Sunnis; and Turkey to protect its control over its own Kurd population."

For everyone that doesn't understand: what is really being said is, "If we pull out from Iraq, we will lose access to the oil. And since we won't let them or Iran build a nuclear power plant, we need to strip them of everything that keeps their country running so they will fully and 100% depend on us, as an infant to its mother."
Saudia Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, etc, etc, etc have delt with the Palestinian refugees. They can deal with the Iraqis. Oh, wait, they already are. Lebanon, I know this first-hand, has astronomical amounts of Iraqis. America should pull out basically 90%, or whatever the percentage of the majority is of the troops, but help clean it up, then let them deal with it. Iraqis aren't as stupid as America makes them to be.
