Fake Conservatives As Dangerous To Freedom As Obama
Alt-Market.com ^ | 18 April 2012 | Brandon Smith

If Americans are looking for anything in the dark clouds of political dust and powdered ash that choke our air and leave us feeling naked against the elements, it is but a simple moment of sincerity. It sounds like an easily attainable thing, and yet, we continue to gasp and clamor. The visible surface of our nation is so devoid of honest connection with our social voice that we have turned to a cynical form of loneliness. We have embraced a life without clarity, and been made wretchedly bitter, desperate for even the faintest taste of truth.

True. They are the greater evil.

They don’t need enabling. They’re doing fine on their own. Gingrich or Santorum should’ve gotten out several months ago so the other one could win. Their pride gave us Romney.

Obama is the greater evil. Not me. Not Romney. Not the GOP-E, nor the ‘enablers’ thereof. Obama. Keep your eye on the ball.

Romney is not conservative, but almost anybody is ‘electable’ running against an incumbent with Obama’s record.

I am keeping my eye on the ball. That's why I'll be voting for a conservative in the primary and election.

And I will contintue to actively campaign against Romney as long as he's in the race. I campaign against all liberals.

I’ll vote Gingrich in the primary.

What conservative for the GE? There isn’t one. Idealism is fine ‘til the rubber hits the road. Then you’ve got to pick an actual available option. Pragmatism has its moments.

If pragmatism will send Obama on his merry way, it’ll suffice. Romney would be a better President than Obama. That point isn’t disputable. Whether he would be substantially better (Coulter version) or only marginally better (everyone else) remains to be seen. Better is still better.

Bottom line, I’m not sure we can survive another four years of Obama. I think we probably can survive four of Romney.

There will be a more conservative candidate on my ballot, even if Romney manages to win the primary. That's who I'll vote for.

And I've seen the whole 'the world will end if Clinton is relected' thing before. I didn't vote for Dole, and actively worked against him. Same for McCain.

Obama is no Clinton.

That worked out well.

I won't vote for a liberal just because the GOP puts him up with their dirty tricks and the complicity of the media.

We survived Clinton. We'll survive Obama. We won't survive a perverted GOP that can count on your vote for any crap liberal they put up.

We could be experiencing an ugly future come November. It is looking more and more as though conservatives and moderates will split and give us four more years of Obama that may turn out to be the last four years of America.

If Obama loses [which seems unlikely in view of the sentiments expressed on this board] the call to kill the white oppressors would be fast and furious from the likes of Sharpton, Jackson, V. Jones and Farrakhan. The subsequent race wars could make the Rodney King riots look like a pep rally.

I've heard the same said of Clinton, back in the day. I'm not frightened. I will continue to vote conservative and campaign against liberals. Including Romney.

I wonder if we are really going to let Obama have another term by dividing ourselves...

I guess that is the choice, either explain someday (to our Creator) why we voted for one of the ones who want people to pay for state sponsored murder of children in the womb, or vote against that.

Eternity hangs in the balance: I can't vote for murder.

“In the real world, the lesser evil is better than the greater one.”

So, tell us, which is the lesser evil for a compromise, Obama as a candidate for the DNC or FidEl Castro as a candidate fro the RNC? In other words, just how far can the Democrats, Progressives, Socialist, and communists infiltrate the Republican Party before you refuse to compromise any further?

What makes you think Romney has any chance whatsoever of winning the election, especially given the role of SCYTL in counting the election results? If Romney is a sham candidate put into place by the Democrat perticipation as fake Republicans in the primary elections and caucuses, what makes you think Romney even if elected will not undertake the Obama goals?

Party is irrelevant. I’d vote for a Democrat if he was more conservative than the Republican. Symbolic votes are mostly useless (except in cases where, for instance, your State is a foregone conclusion). Vote for a viable candidate.

Obama is a radical. Castro is an armed revolutionary (at least in his prime). If the country was situated so far left that those are the only two viable choices, then Obama would be preferable. And I’d leave the country.

All momentum is with Romney and we have to accept that he seems to be the probable nominee. He is not my choice, but it goes without saying that Obama isn't either.

We still have a convention to conduct and a platform to pass. There has to be some belief that our chosen candidate will follow the party platform. If that is not the case I don't know what to think we are left with.
