Folks, Obama and Romney are eating off the same menu (although Romney changes his diet from election to election).
Virgil Goode is the only acceptable candidate running, IMHO.
Ask George H.W. Bush about that aspect of the Republican coalition ~ all he had to do was lie to them once on an issue close to their hearts (taxes) and they cut him off at the knees.
Good idea.
HIRE Romney.
Bad idea.
America SAVED.
Will NOT result from executing your suggestions.
IOW: America lost when R0mney was nominated.
< shrug >
Lots of state and local elections to attract my attention.
That]s a damn shame.
Have you ever considered Stag Beer? Its made with no sugar, and a friend of mine who’s also diabetic drinks that...although in moderation.
Just a thought.
I can't argue with you on that point, but that's only because you're right. Well said.
I looked and found no evidence that he would 'decimate our military and abandon Israel."
No, voting for a third party means no one pays attention to you.
So FReepers should just take your word for that? Or would you perhaps like to offer some reason anyone should believe that?
I could be wrong...the Republicans might actually concern themselves with the 1-3% who voted third party
A percentage that is fixed only if conservatives down one more round of the GOPe Kool-Aid.
In this case, Virginia becomes a swing state. In New York or California, for example, you can vote and campaign for Romney until the cows come home and the entire electoral college will still go to B.O. A third party vote in a CLEARLY non swing state won’t affect anything. Just saying...
You got that right. And if he gets elected there will not be the possibility of a good candidate for another 8 years since he would run for re-election against Madame Clinton or some other communist in the next election.
On Wednesday Romney said, “I have experience in health care reform [Mass Health, socialized medicine with co-pay abortions]. Now and then the president says I’m the grandfather of Obamacare. I don’t think he meant that as a compliment but I’ll take it…I’ve actually been able to put in place a system that fit the needs of the people of my state, and I’m proud of the fact that in my state, after our plan was put in place, every child has insurance, 98 percent of adults have insurance.”
I lived under Governor Romney for 4 years in Massachusetss. Here is what he is so proud of and what he, on Wednesday, holds up as an example of "empathy and care about the people of this country"...
I agree with ArrogantBustard: America lost when Romney was nominated, and I personally wouldn't vote for him even if I was in a swing state.
D-fendr, did they ever “officially” announce Breitbart’s cause of death? It sure was suspicious that he happened to die on the eve of “vetting” B.O.
First off, I don't know where I got the idea that you and I are in the same state, unless it's this cold that's fogging up my head. I'm in Virginia. With all due respect, you say you're voting your principles and your morals, but here you imply it's because you're in a non-swing state. Is it really standing by your principles when you have nothing to lose?
Virginia IS a swing state, but I still wasn't going to vote for Romney. Like I said, the last few weeks changed my mind. I really fear the Muslims will hit us with a nuke if Obama is re-elected. Obama is an infection, and if he isn't a practicing Muslim, then he's a Muslim-sucking sympathizer/lover, so he might as well be one. He despises Christians, he recognizes no God but himself, and we are all in mortal danger because of him. No one is leading us. There are dead raped people and terrorist flags flying over our embassies, and he doesn't give a damn. His reaction upon finding out was to go to bed, and say later that the Muslims are the ones who have really suffered. THE MUSLIMS.
Support for Israel is a non-negotiable issue for me, so I can't help but wonder if my decision to vote for Romney could be God waking me up. Note I said vote for Romney, not support him; I'm under no illusions about Romney. I just want Obama out. As for Virgil Goode, I just googled and found out that he is for cutting off all aid to Israel. If I was someone who planned to vote for him, that would nix it for me.
See this article, down toward the bottom of the page under Foreign Policy.

Either you didn't finish the speech or you disagree with Breitbart.
So be it.
As Mark Levin said yesterday in advocating for Romney: there's two sides in this election - tyranny vs. liberty.
I agree with him and Breitbart. It's not intelligent, moral or reasonable to play some other game ignoring what's at stake.
It's my understanding he's for cutting ALL foreign aid. As a citizen of this country and no other earthly regime, I'm willing to consider it.
So you've changed your mind? Upthread you said that you'd renounce him if evidence was presented that he is for abandoning Israel. Cutting off all aid to them would be effective abandonment.
This whole thread is bizzare. Virgil Goode is just as poor a candidate as he could be. The lack of serious vetting is allowing him to win over people who are not looking beneath the surface and just want change. Does this sound familiar. Why not just look at reality and stop trying to find someone “to believe in”, someone who can make the world a better place , a simpler place just by saying it is. Another “magic man”.
Goode promoted and supported a porn movie with constituent’s funds. He is ready to abandon our only trustworthy ally in the middle east, because the middle east is far away and we have other problems. Yes they have infiltrated America and South America with terror cells and camps and are plotting terror attacks, well he can’t think about everything can he? Let’s just abandon Israel and Israel intelligence and a strategic position because we need to take care of our own country. The rest of the world will wait while we do that.....Sounds reassuring if you are an ostrich.
He favors extending the protections of our Constitution to terrorists: Virgil Goode: “Yes, just like U.S. citizens, terrorists should be given a fair trial in federal courts”. This is a very dangerous and ill considered position, endangering our military security and leading to an inability to prosecute enemy combatants. http://www.afa.net/Blogs/BlogPost.aspx?id=2147491346
Virgil has demonstrated corruption:
http://www.votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/527/virgil-goode-jr proves Goode voted for the ability for defense contractors to use airborne drones and RFID devices and his sponsored and co-sponsored Bills also prove that he actually turned a profit by voting the Defense Contractor/ special interest way…
So let’s hear it for Virgil Goode. He is so pure and so clean and has such great plans for America that we will stand on our principals to vote for him when we could instead be accepting the responsibility of voting against against the destruction and degradation of America as brought to us by BO.
“Doesn’t the Bible mention Israel? Something about God’s chosen people?”
For the record, Goode’s policy on Israel is not something I agree with. However, there is nothing in the Bible I know of that commands us to protect Israel. God Himself protects His people and has orchestrated this allegiance with the United States. I’m not worried about Israel’s future with or without the U.S.
“it’s not every afternoon that I am called “dumb,” “insane,” “proud,” “holier than thou,” and even called a “troll” – by my fellow FReepers to boot!”
Doing the right thing isn’t always popular right? :)
“It’s my understanding he’s for cutting ALL foreign aid. As a citizen of this country and no other earthly regime, I’m willing to consider it.”
I guess some people are OK with sending $450 million to Egypt.
So you've changed your mind? Upthread you said that you'd renounce him if evidence was presented that he is for abandoning Israel. Cutting off all aid to them would be effective abandonment.
I took "abandoning Israel" to mean singling them out - and "abandoning" to mean something other than "ceasing to be their sugar daddy." I regret the misunderstanding.
