“Abortion will not cause war”

The root of the dispute is between those who believe that abortion is the greatest atrocity ever committed by western society and those who believe it to be a surgical procedure.

Why would we expect someone who doesn’t see abortion in the same way to understand why a prolifer cannot vote for Romney?

Why do you think we are in trouble fiscally? 50 million dead American citizens is the cause. What could we have done with these people who were instead aborted?

It’s a wasted vote. No third party candidate has won a national election and he won’t be the first, after all, you can’t win with only 17 states huh. What’s really happening is a big temper tantrum...but this one has the chance to bite him in the a** and give Obama four more years. But at least he will have those principles to keep him warm at night while the US burns.

The GOP Establishment has thumbed its nose at conservatives for a long time. People are tired of holding their noses to vote for candidates like McCain and now Romney. Reagan was the last real conservative to be nominated.
. . . and also the first, in my lifetime which goes back to FDR. And you could even pick a nit or two with Reagan, if you were so inclined.
It is the leftist who claims that democracy is supposed to give us the best possible officials; conservatives should realize that it is a lot to hope for to even get passable ones in office. Consider the last four Democrat presidents - Obama, Clinton, Carter, and Johnson. Any of them passable? Each one worse than the last. The Bushes were mostly passable, no more, and before that we had Ford and Nixon. Even Eisenhower, who I was a fan of in my youth, I now understand to have been marginal. At this point if we could have JFK, as he actually was in life, we’d take it gratefully.
Churchill said that democracy is like a raft - it won’t sink, but your feet are always wet. We now nave to wonder if it is even that good. Which all traces back to the fact that wire service journalism is utterly corrupt.

Let me ask you a question.

Say your favorite breakfast cereal, decides to add marshmallows and load up on the sugar, and no longer offers what it once did.

You go to the store and find another cereal, made by a company you’ve never heard of, that is similar to your old cereal.

Which would you place in your cart when you shop for the day?

The Mittbots and their lapdogs are going to have to stop using the term “Conservative” anyway ~ they aren’t!

Virgil Goode is a former Republican.

He is a lifelong conservative looking for a conservative party.

He has voted conservative as both a democrat and a republican.

His voting record is far more conservative than most republicans.

They’ll also need to get used to being referred to as ANTI-AMERICAN.

As anybody can tell you Romney's forces CHEATED to get their boy byes in the primary.

That action has pretty well destroyed the political futures for a good number of people who used to pretend to be hard core Conservatives in this state ~ starting with the Governor, the lt. Governor, their friends and relatives, and probably even the number 2 Republican in the House.

Even some of the people involved in the misdeeds have lost faith in these people.

The vote for Goode will be a vote for integrity in the political process.

Be a good idea for the MIttbots to just stay out of this state from now on. Plenty of tar and feathers about, just need a few rails, and there it is (allegorically of course ~ tar can cause permanent skin damage)>

Mitt is a major campaign donor to Democrats. That’s just about the worst sin a Republican politician can commit ~ although I’m sure Mitt has some other things in mind that’ll make everyone aghast.

George Wallace almost sent the Humphrey/Nixon contest into the House.

That's the objective, and given the institutionalized tightness of the race it's possible!

Mitt will fritz out if it goes there !~

I do believe the same god who invites you to vote for Romney is also inviting you to vote for Obama.

No, that's not the God we know.

Actually, things are the other way around. Voting for evil and saying it’s a matter of relative good is always a big mistake ~ you go with the two major parties this time you have no choice ~ same thing on either ticket.

I think you got your hands on the wrong Jesus there ~ maybe jesus Valdez from San Juan Puerto Rico?!

Of course we have the liberty to vote according to our religious views and with fundamental morality. That means we probably won't vote for either of the two major party candidates ~

You do not save civilization by giving up to the forces of darkness!
