Lovin’ the Betty White photo!
“If I have to chose between an anti-American, free enterprise hating communist and a gun grabbing semi-socialist, I’ll chose the later. But I won’t feel good about it.”
Exactly!
It is our duty to try to make sure America does not face that choice, but we’re outnumbered.
That doesn’t mean we can’t keep the faith and try, and we just might win!
“But I think ultimately, our hatred of Mr. Obama’s liberal policies will unify the right.”
Once again, the ruling class has arranged to present a non-alternative. Under Romney, America will head toward the cliff just a little less rapidly than under Obama. Romney will be as big a disaster for conservatism than Bush.
So once again, the right unifies under that dashing Republican slogan, “Sure we really suck. But not as much as the Democrats.”
It’s getting to be time the whole system will need to be rebooted, the hard drive scrubbed and a brand new OS installed. A third party won’t fix things. That just makes sure the most malevolent of the available viruses stays in control of the computer.
That the “conservative” party can nominate Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain and Romney in succession means electoral politics no longer functions—one entire and very large bloc of the electorate is not represented. I really don’t think there’s any peaceful way to get there from here. I’m too old to go there and the current youngsters, who ought to be complaining in the strongest terms about congressmen and lobbyists and presidents who have gotten them into this mess, believe mostly in unicorns, global warming and iPads and appear to have entirely bought into the conventional wisdom that government will solve their problems—they just need more power to do good.
Love it!
You make a really interesting point about a vote for Romney basically “rewarding” all the backstabbing and sleazoid tactics that he and his minions have been conducting the past three years. The way the entire establishment GOP went about after the mid-terms to undercut the Tea Party and grease the skids for Romney has totally alientated me from caring about either the GOP or its prospects. And I say this as someone who has voted exclusively Republican my entire life, never once wavering.
If the convention comes around, and I see nothing but Romney and a bunch of slimey yes-men establishment flaks and operatives out there praising him and celebrating amid the confetti, I’ll be looking at it with a sickened, jaundiced eye that is no better than what I’d reserve for the Dem convention. Never would have remotely predicted this a few years back, but I could go third-party at the drop of a hat nowadays.
Stop it; you’re making too much sense. Can’t have that. The only comments allowed are from the yes men and brown nosers.
Well put!
“We are really screwed as a country if we resort to screaming personal attacks against anyone we disagree with.”
You may dislike the tone, but as I just said in another post, any nation in which the “limited government” party nominates Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain and Romney in succession is in VERY deep trouble. That country is governed by a ruling class who has consciously decided that there is no need for about 40-45% of the population to have any meaningful representation in government and has spent about 70 years making sure they do not.
I don’t blame those people for being very, very angry. If one is not angry, one either does not believe in limited government or one does not understand the situation.
You’ve been Zotted for your support of Mittens. You should’ve been Zotted for shallow unpersuasive reasoning, best illustrated by an unsupported (and unsupportable) phrase such as “it is clear”, among similar presumptious cliches. But heck, that’s just perfectly fitting for a shallow POTUS candidate. And if GOP loses with somebody else, you’re in a perfect position to tell us: “I TOLD YOU SO!”
and it’s just plain stupid to treat Romney as if he’s the antichrist.

Not if he IS the anti-Christ. He is certainly ANTI-Christ just by his beliefs, and he thinks this is just part of him becoming a god and fulfilling prophecy.
Absolutely! Who needs principles? We can WIN!!! Victory and Freedom! We ‘win’ a liberal and are free to be ruled by one!
What joy!
Not.
Still trying to get zotted so you feel ‘justified’ in your support of Mitt based on Religious reasons?
Buh bye
Betty's get'n a good work out tonight with all the Myth and Paulbots around.
I don’t know why the Zot! has to be reluctant.
This Arrogant Anal Aperture was nothing more than a condescending pimp.
LOL. I bet she is.
It should have been faster, IMO. How dare a stinking blogpimp push Myth on FR. What arrogance!
Typical liberal behavior. Like the zotted before and those who continue to beg for it, they think they think they own the world and that actions have no consequence.
Looks like the Good will has run out.
Moby was a big Mark Kirk backer.
Still is as far as I can tell. Must be something in the Illinois water.
That, or he’s just as big a dumbass as we all thought he was.
