I have said nothing about a preference for Romney for president. In fact, I have explicitly stated that he is not my choice. Support your candidate with passion in the primaries. I will. And it’s not Mitt.
You, however, are a CINO. You would rather beat your chest and blurt out gutteral nonsense like “Me no vote for RINO! Me conservative!”. My, what friends such behavior must deliver to you!
You have no credibility among real conservatives. IF Romney is the nominee and IF you vote third party or stay home, then YOU are the problem. You will have shown yourself to be a leftist enabler of the socialist takeover of the United States.
Wake up.
Remember my “perhaps” earlier, I never said I would not vote GOP, I just said I will not go quietly or surrender like you will do and are asking others to as well.
Yes that is exactly what you are doing.
I respect my vote more than that. So do the vast majority of freepers I have come to know from our conversations as well as their many posts here. It is that respect for what our founders envisioned, for that sacred trust in “the people” and the value of their vote that makes us anything BUT CINOs.
Disrespecting peoples vote, tossing them around like fodder, stealing them like dime store candy or threatening because they don't come to you automatically, all of those are activities of the left.
Anyways if such dedicated and serious conservatives are the friends I attract from any position I take, I am in glad company.
One last thing, something I guess I need to be straightforward about so that even you will understand since you obviously have yet to “get it”.
Stop with your “vote for Obama” and threatening schtick this far out. There are many who will profess no support for whomever right but may change their minds IF things are allowed to progress naturally. As it is the Conservatives out there are not happy with the GOP or the same ole’ same ole’. Attitudes such as yours are more than likely to make them do the opposite of what you wish. Yes, they are mad enough to toss caution to the wind, try and ride things out hopping the since the GOP and the Democrats are essentially treating the people and their desires the same way, failure will ultimately clear the field.
You say you will support with passion whomever it is you are for. Stick to that and understand others will fight for theirs and against those who do not represent in an appreciable way Conservative ideals and do so for the next couple of years.
Even in the end if they don't vote or vote third party, that is no more a vote for Obama than it is a vote for continued mediocrity and failure on the part of the GOP.
Like I said if you really are being on the up and up, drop the attitude and try earning some support. The path you are on now, the same path the GOP/RNC has been on for years now is the path to FAILURE.
If you don't get that, if you cannot see that then there is not much I can say to help you and I doubt you are capable of getting past your limited self interest anyways.
Which is the final irony, for given your supposed passion and fervor, you have to ask not for whom ejonesie22 will vote for but you have to ask can I afford to lose his vote?
And as it appears from numerous posts on FreeRepublic as well as the few Tea-party events I have attended that is a question you and the GOP are going to have to ask 10s of thousands of times over the next couple of years...
Seems like someone has some work to do, and calling people losers and Obama supporters is not a prestigious start to the effort at hand.
If you vote for a liberal, big government, pro-abortionist RINO, then YOU are a leftist enabler of the socialist takeover of the United States.
You simply cannot vote liberal and have any credibility left when trying to pass yourself off as a conservative. You simply do not understand what a real conservative is if you think that compromising your values is what a real conservative does.
And I say that as a Christian.
