It's going to get interesting at FR if Romney is nominated, innit??
Vanity | 23 March 2012 | Notary Sojac

Posted on 03/23/2012 8:05:11 AM PDT by Notary Sojac

I've put some heavy wear and tear on my keyboard making the point here that it's OK to loathe Romney, but to underestimate him is the act of a fool.

Those of us who have been on the "no Romney, no how!!" bandwagon here for the last year have had the luxury of believing that someone else would be able to keep Romney from the nomination.

That now appears increasingly unlikely, as we all are forced to face the fact that Freepers (and those out there who think like Freepers) are not a decisive majority in the Republican electorate. Not even close.

There are millions of long-time Republicans who are voting for Romney because he's a dignified, executive-looking gentleman who speaks in soothing patriotic platitudes. You don't have to like this, but it's true. (And no, they are not being operated by mind control rays from Karl Rove!)

So where does this leave us? Frankly I dunno. I would hope that those who advocate holding noses and voting for Romney don't get banned from FR. At the same time, I think it's very unlikely that I will vote for him. (I voted third party in 2008 in preference to McQueeg).

It's already interesting!

16 Reasons Why Mitt Romney Would Be A Really, Really Bad President

Teacher to college class: "After reading this list who still wants to vote for Romney?"

#1 Romneycare was what Obamacare was based on
 
#2 During his time as governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney significantly raised taxes.
 
#3 Government spending in Massachusetts increased significantly under Mitt Romney.
 
#4 It turns out that Mitt Romney is a believer in the theory of man-made global warming.
 
#5 If Mitt Romney becomes president, we may actually have "cap and trade" shoved down our throats.
 
#6 Mitt Romney had a horrible record of creating jobs while governor of Massachusetts.
 
#7 Mitt Romney was a very enthusiastic supporter of the Wall Street bailouts. 
 
#8 If Romney becomes president, get ready for a flood of liberal judges.
 
#9 Mitt Romney is incredibly soft on illegal immigration. 
 
#10 While he was governor, Mitt Romney received advice on global warming and carbon emissions from the man who is now the top science adviser to Barack Obama.  John P. Holdren, has some very, very disturbing ideas: he once wrote the following....

#11 Mitt Romney has been a huge supporter of gun control laws.

#12 Mitt Romney once claimed that he was more "pro-choice" than Ted Kennedy, but now he claims that he is pro-life. 

#13 During this campaign season, Mitt Romney has stated that he only supports partnership agreements for gay couples and not gay marriage,

#14 As late as 2007, Mitt Romney was a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership.  The following is what romneyexposed.com says about this organization....

#15 According to the Huffington Post, Mitt Romney has raised more money from lobbyists than all of the other Republican candidates combined.

#16 Mitt Romney is a big time Wall Street insider.  It is estimated that Romney has a personal fortune of approximately a quarter of a billion dollars, and Wall Street money is being absolutely showered on his campaign.

And then there is this -- Romney is a member of a non-Christian cult, Mormonism:

Cults, Movements, World Religions
Sects and Satanic Cults

Thank you very much, CB.

Maybe that’s why I hate to see some folks joking or being cynical about this election. So very much is at stake - generations have fought and died for our republic and we have a very dangerous occupier in our White House intent on tearing it down and permanently destroying it - and us - we ALL must vote against this force of evil. Each and every vote will be needed if we’re to have a chance of America surviving.

Will we mount a huge write-in campaign for Newt Gingrich?

“If anyone does not want Obozo to serve four more years in office, then time is running out to stop Robamney which is the only way to beat Obozo.”

I believe the time has RUN out.

And, no, I don’t agree that Romney is the same as Obama... and I would MUCH rather have him as President than that disaster that’s currently in the White House.

But to each his (or her) own. Stay home and don’t vote if you want. But if your conscience can’t allow you to vote for Romney against Obama, how’s your conscience going to feel if Obama wins because you DON’T vote for Romney against Obama?

I hear you loud and clear.

As much as folks so often make me want to scream.

It’s only natural, if you have empathy for people, and love and concern for your country, to want to yell “STOP” when you see them walking, or running, towards what you know to be a cliff.

Maybe we can get out ahead of ‘em and put up some caution tape...

Thanks.

It is the traitors who voted for Bishop Willard in the primary who will be “handing the presidency over to Satan/Obama for another four years.”

Also, do you really think the presidence would not be in “Satan’s hands” with Romney as president?

I'm not happy about Romney having the lead in the primaries either, but it is what it is. Many people in the GOP are flat out uninformed, but I wouldn't call them traitors.

And no, I do not think of Romney as another Satan and people who do are also uninformed. That name equates with Obama and I cannot fathom how anyone would think they are equally the same.

Hatred of Romney trumps EVERYTHING (even hatred of Obama).

Is that what you've noticed by some FReepers, or do you feel the same way?

So very true. Wish you could convince people like the previous poster EGPWS (#121) who, like SO many, are just way off base and not seeing BHO fully for who and what he is, his goals and how rapidly he’s accomplishing them - the intentional takedown of America.

That means defeating The Wan who’s working to take America down by whatever means he deems necessary.

That means defeating The Too -Mittens and Barracky - who’re working to take America down by whatever means they deem necessary.

There. Fixed it for you.

If you know a way to beat them BOTH, I’m listening, FRiend.
Because defeating BHO is top priority but I don’t like Mittens either and don’t think he can beat the Wan anyway.

So, do you think we can still take this to open convention and block MR from getting the nomination?

In 2008, I was blasted here for threatneing to vote for the more conservative Libertarian candidate. This time, I don’t care what anyone says.

"Our ONLY chance to ABOLISH Obama”care” rests with THE NINE SUPREMES, because Romney will be defeated by Obama."

I see it differently.

If an ABO focus IS actualized assuming Romney is the nom, that tidal wave WILL bring down Obama.

And we MUST bring down Obama to have a chance in salvaging a future non-marxist USSC. The court is at a tipping point as it is, with its infirmed/elderly...nevermind it's razor-thin majority of true constitutionalists.

Obamacare then (if not prior to the election,) becomes the symptom that it is.

"In any event, I won’t vote for Romney or Obamalini."

What a brilliant soul you are...'that's exactly what the left is counting on to save OBozo...stay-at-home pubbies!'

And sadly, you probably tell your friends that you 'frequent' FreeRepublic.com, giving the rest of us a bad name or, worse yet, a questionable intelligence.

Geez...are you really for real!?!

If Romney is the GOP nominee we are simply going to have to swallow our pride and write in somebody.

I definitely do not feel the same way. It will be impossible to recover from another Obama term, assuming it’s not already too late.

I hear you.

I, too, refuse to reward the scumbag GOP elite with my vote. They don't like me, and I don't like them.
Que sera sera.

I see you are still struggling to communicate on subjects other than sports. Why not just give it a rest and turn on ESPN again.

Oh no, I'm not goin' anywhere but lurkin' in your posts. It's going to be too much fun highlighting your political ignorance...

Retired? Senile? Both? Which is it?

By the way, vote for Romney if you like...you don’t know much about him, but I’m sure that doesn’t bother you.
