Primary Voters: If You Value Your Vote, Then Vote Your Values.
Graewoulf | May 28, 2012 | Graewoulf

Posted on 05/28/2012 8:24:06 AM PDT by Graewoulf

Now is the time for all good men and women to put Country above Party. For far to long the RINO Wing of the Republican Party has been in control of losing National Elections.

The time has come to cast aside the hold-your-nose clothespins that the RINOs expect us to use when we vote for their tweedle-dumb or tweedle-dumber Candidates.

To all Primary voters: List the top 10 demonstrated positive values for each Candidate for all offices, and vote accordingly.

If there is no Candidate that meets your values for a given office, then leave that slot blank. This will then be a "None-Of-The-Above," or ABSTAIN vote, AND the fact that you voted in the election will be counted, as you turn in your ballot.

EVEN if you turn in a totally unmarked ballot for any Candidate for any office your ballot will be recorded as a vote in the election.

Vote FOR, AGAINST, OR LEAVE BLANK, BUT DO CAST YOUR BALLOT.

The worst thing that you could do is to stay home and not vote.

The RINOs love it when we do not vote, as it means to them that we are just "apathetic," and thus the RINOs know that we will let them do anything that they want to.

To throw off the stranglehold RINO yoke, we need a massive voter turnout on Primary election day!

Vote FOR the VALUES that has made America great!

BTW, let us make this a “clothespin-free” election!

As far as I’m concerned, we need as many 3rd party and write in voters as possible to help push the downticket races over the top.

Also, GET INVOLVED!!!!. A few hundred dedicated individuals can replace GOPe committeemen on the RNC and change the direction of the party as we just did in Michigan.

Are you sure of this? I’ve never seen “No Vote” listed in the election results. Even if those statistics are kept, who is going to care? The GOPe will just chalk it up to apathy.

William F. Buckley, considered one of the major founders of the Conservative Movement in the last century, established what has been called the Buckley Rule:"We should support the most conservative candidate who is electable".

He was a wise man!

” - - - I’ve never seen “No Vote” listed in the election results.”

Nevada and a few other States count “None-of-the-Above” votes.

In all States, the ballot that has ONE office slot left blank is counted as a legal, voter cast ballot.

In all States, the ballot that has ALL office slots left blank is counted as a legal, voter cast ballot.

Candidate numbers determine the Candidates’ win or loss.

Ballot numbers determine the total number of voters who voted.

As the total number of “None-of-the-above” blank offices or ballots increases, we will be sending the message that we are being taxed, but we are not being represented by our sorry politicians whose values are not ours.

Since elections are the ONLY time that politicians pay ANY attention to us tax-burdened voters, we need to hit them right between the eyes with the biggest sledgehammer at our disposal: OUR VOTES!

Thus, we are voting with our Founding Fathers’ Battle Cry: “NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!”

In a race between Chavez and Castro, who do we choose?

” - - - who is electable.”

That hasn’t worked out to well has it?

Why cede to the scardy-cat RINOs the decision as to who is “electable?”

This past Primary is a classic example of how flawed the RINO Wing of the Republican Party is at endorsing the “most electable” Candidate!

After a long Primary Campaign, the RINO endorsed Romney emerges in May with a coin-flip chance of beating Obama in November. Game over, Romney is a loser of a politician!

Buckley made a mistake, as the RINO losing record has proven over and over again.

Do we learn from the mistakes of the past, or do we just keep on trying the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results?

If it looks like a losing politician, talks like a losing politician, thinks like a losing politician, and acts like a losing politician, then I’ll bet that it is a losing politician!

The punishment of wise men who refuse to take part in the government is to live under the government of worse men.

Of what use is this information?

Any primary that counted at all has already been held.

Primaries done now are just a waste of effort.

What we really need if Conservatives want a voice is to have all primaries at the same time.

My advice for anyone going to a Republican primary now is to vote for anyone but Romney.
Romney is going to be he Candidate, there isn’t anything we can do aboput that now, but voters could send him and the RINO’s a message if they voted for anyone but him.

I hate it that States like New Hampshire have such a great oice in who I get to vote for, New Hampshire always votes for some bag of crap. We all need an equal say in who our choice is, and early primaries cheat us of that voice.

They will never know what hit them, as they are now gleefully celebrating that we have been defeated, and planning the Romney crowning.

I agree. I call it the “RIGHT Flank Maneuver.”

” - - -Any primary that counted at all has already been held.” Duh, TEXAS is the largest delegation of Republican Delegates.

” - - - Primaries done now are just a waste of effort.” RINOs love it when you talk dirty like that!

” - - - What we really need if Conservatives want a voice is to have all primaries at the same time.” WRONG! “Both” Political Parties will NEVER allow that to happen.

” - - - My advice for anyone going to a Republican primary now is to vote for anyone but Romney.” After a rocky start we FINALLY agree on something! Thanks!

Plato would have been a great Campaign Manager: ‘ insult the intelligence of the voters with really dumbed-down Candidates. ‘

I don’t know what the stats are, but I suspect that the higher the achieved education level of the voter, the lower the voter participation is.

BTW, if my above hunch is correct, then it is no wonder that the Federal politicians want to spend so much of OUR money on Education!

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim’s Truce has nothing to do with this thread.

My targets for this post are the Primary Voters, and their friends, who have not yet voted in the 2012 Republican Primary.

For example, TEXAS votes tomorrow!

Your reference to those “gleefully celebrating” are who I define as the RINO Wing of the Republican Party who do the grunt work at the Tampa Convention, and favored Delegates. These are the RINOs who are very comfortable losing elections to “their good friends on the other side of the aisle.”

I very seriously doubt that there are more than a handful of FReepers who fit the latter category.

If we strike hard, replace the sleeping RINOs, WE can be “gleefully celebrating” at Tampa with an OPEN Convention.

As Cripple Creek pointed out : WE MUST GET INVOLVED IN LOCAL AND STATE POLITICS NOW.

Romney tried his best in the Primary, and came up short. So it is OUR turn to pick who the Republican Nominee is going to be in 2012.

There are plenty of electable conservatives. The system that keeps generating CINOs is what needs fixing.

Your mileage may vary. I'm seeing it all the time.

What planet do you currently call home? Because here on planet Earth, Romney is running unopposed and after the Texas primary, he'll have more than enough delegates to lock up the nomination.

“Duh, TEXAS is the largest delegation of Republican Delegates.”

Do you really believe that if Texas doesn’t vote for Romney that he isn’t going to be the pick?/ Duh.

“RINOs love it when you talk dirty like that”
Doesn’t matter how I talk the decision has been made.
I don’t like it either ,but you cannot argue with facts.

WRONG! “Both” Political Parties will NEVER allow that to happen.
You damned right they won’t let it happen. They don’t want us picking our Candidates.That doesn’t mean it isn’t what SHOULD happen.
