...this leaves us with this:
...we must play the cards that we are dealt. I, for one, will support any R candidate that wins.
Romney, if he prevails, may not be the candidate that we all hope he would be, but with the help of a Conservative Congress, most of what we want done will get done, but it will not be pretty.
Our new Congress must consider changing their leaders.
Meanwhile, those who would vote for Romney wind up selling their conservative soul.
Tis many "joe the republicans" among us. Who is "Joe the Republican?" ...perhaps, some of you FREEPERS can see "Satan" appearing to "Joe the Republican" here: 'What good would it do to forfeit your convictions & not gain your political world?' [Vanity]
Let us know if you see yourselves in that character!
Yeah...I can see it now...
A local candidate is selling himself door to door...you answer...you invite him in to get to know him...
Thru an informal grilling process you finally extract these tidbits...that...
(a) He's earned a fair amount of $ from the porn industry;
(b) He's forced everybody in your community into govt-run healthcare;
(c) He says he's "pro-life" -- but that healthcare provides $50 abortions & has a Planned Parenthood employee as a permanent healthcare member...plus while running his last "pro-life" campaign he told a member of the local media that it's "OK" for parents to give up their offspring to "research"...
(d) He was a member of an openly racist org thru age 31 -- an org that still keeps racist teachings in its constitution but says policy-wise, they've changed.
(e) And, oh, btw, he'll be a grown-up god some day...but, hey, no worry about "idolatry" if you endorse him.
ALL: B.O. Plenty's conclusion: "Well, you're a bit disappointing. You're not much of a candidate -- one I'd hope we'd have, let alone a candidate with an (R) attached, but I'll endorse you...even if you are to the left of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson!"
[To flesh out (a) & (c) above...(c) -- Romney told Katie Couric in Dec '07 'twas "OK" for parents to give their offspring to "research"...re: (a) Romney's been a board member for Marriott, which since at least 1989 has been selling porn inside its hotel rooms...something even they realize is problematic because they've announced they'll be stopping that practice...tell us the difference between a porn theater in bed with the porn industry & Marriott again? Aren't they all "porn theaters" & porn industry distributors?]
Hey, with "fickle" "discerning" "conservative" voters like you, the GOP's in "great shape" long-term! /sarc
Btw...here's 16 things Salvation just listed as to Romney not being the candidate "we'd hope to have": Are Mitt Romney’s Mormon beliefs something we should worry about?
But people seriously would consider voting for him?
