More than half of the voters in our nation get their incomes directly or indirectly from government and would move politics more toward socialism and away from freedom each year. Most candidates of both parties so far are socialist, and their favored constituents, government-dependent (employees, pensioners, contractors, all).
But look on the bright side. Because of them, the default process will be completed. There will eventually be a repudiation and currency adjustment. The result will be small government, forced by lack of production, low revenues and a worthless currency.
IMO, have fun, and enjoy the slide. Prepare yourselves, because we’re not borrowing and buying any more. Not until we see better leadership in business, government and academia.
Here are the real culprits (all immoral, tyrannical socialists).

Just what I thought. You do not have the balls to take responsibility for helping Obama get reelected. As for me, I will vote for a GOP candidate, no matter who. If the primary voters select Romney, then that is who it will be. If it is any of the other three, then I will vote for them. Unlike you, I will not stamp my feet and have a two year old’s tantrum in November.
They (the GOP Establishment Elite) can ALWAYS count on wusses like you to vote (R), no matter WHO they shove up your ass.
As for me, I have the balls to vote my conscience, without outside dictation as to WHOM I have to accept.
Deal with it.
AFTER voting for Obama, if that's what it takes to beat Romney.
I guess I'm just a Mormophobe. My scars give me the right.
I see you just came on board here. I met you yesterday.
I’ve just gotta say, bon voyage.

Chief Justice Roberts too!

Well I guess you don’t know about Romney do you. His friends at Bain wanted to give the Red Chinese access to American secrets through a company called 3Com. May not be Bill Ayers ideology worthy but it is traitorous (for money) just the same.
There is nothing you can say that will convince me the Romney is not Obama White. Obama did not usher gay marriage into this country. Obama has not set up $50 govt. provided abortions. Obama got the idea of Obamacare from Romneycare. Obama does not pretend to be a conservative while trashing conservatives left and right.
It is one of the few times Soros was not lying was when he said Obama and Romney are the same. I won’t tell you not to vote for that socialist, but there is no way on this earth I will ever vote for him.
What do you mean by “our” guys. Just who is “we” that “we” can have “our” guys?
Because Romney isn’t one of our guys, If “our” means “we conservatives”.
If you mean “our” as in “Republicans” then you are apparently mistaking Free Republic as a Republican site.
It is not. It is Conservative.
And if you are a Conservative, the Republicans ARE NOT your friends. The do not like you, they do not want your opinion and they wish you would just shut up and do what THEY tell you to do. Just like the Democrats treat black people, actually.
“Unlike you, I will not stamp my feet and have a two year old’s tantrum in November.”
Of course you won’t.
Instead, you will lick the Republican Party Elite’s boots. As a matter of fact, that is what you are doing now.
You are emboldening them to do whatever the hell they want.
Where do you think they get the idea that “we” are going to give in and vote for their chosen one after they get done cramming him down our throats?
All of you who keep telling all the world that you will vote for Romney are helping to ensure his nomination.
“100% agree w/you.”
You nailed it and I 100% agree with you. I was in Nevada when Harry Reid won his seat by 400 votes. He gloated and said he only needed to win by one. Eleven thousand stupid voters deliberately chose None of the Above.
Harry Reid caused more trouble than any politician I’ve ever seen. But eleven thousand idiots got to make a point, “I’m mad and I ain’t gonna take it anymore.” ....for nothing. I’m voting for the Republican nominee. I can’t wait to vote for the Republican nominee. Everyone I know will vote for the Republican candidate.
So, to be clear:
You are saying anyone who doesn’t vote for Romney in the general election (assuming he IS the nominee) is stupid.
Do I understand you correctly?
Romney is a progressive, pro-abortion, anti-2nd amendment, pro gay marriage etc,etc,etc, and that came out of his own mouth. He said he is not Republican, or democrat he is a progressive.....no different than Pelosi or Reid and farther left than Kennedy when he ran against him and lost..
Those that say you have to vote party, are the establishment in Washington or any of the other 57 states.
Principal before party, and Romney has said nothing I can agree with. I know his policy's by his past....
What is Romney for that you agree with...not just what comes out of his mouth when he is running for president. I really would like to know....
I agree with you 100%! No Romney, not now, not ever!
Believe me I know that they are not my friends. But they are not looking to destroy the country either. Right now we are faced with someone who is proud that he wants to fundamentally change the country into something else because he thinks what it has been is evil. Wake up.

I think he is opposed to fundamental trannsformation of the United States. And so am I.

A bigger crime IMO would be to not vote for the Repub nominee, REGARDLESS who it is. A vote for anyone else is a vote for 0bama.
At the beginning of the primary I was for Cain and spoke out against Newt, but we have to deal with what we have left on the road....I also like Santorum but don't think he has much chance this time around.....
Romney is Obama in a different color skin. I will vote down ballot for other offices, but leave president blank if the nominee is Romney....
