No.
I’m a voter, not a hostage.
Why do we now have to work so damn hard to STOP a Romney nomination when the GOP-E, KNEW that Masscare was a FATAL DISQUALIFICATION for the nomination in the first place?
Now Romney’s got Coulter, Drudge, Rove, and dozens of others drooling on his kneecaps this late in the process. Millions of dollars and millions of volunteer hours will have been wasted because somebody couldn’t talk sense to this guy THE DAY MASSCARE PASSED THE MASSSACHUSETTS SENATE!!
All it would have taken was, “Mitt, nice work, but you know you can’t be the nominee, right? You know that was the price, right?”
Nope, like Dole, like McCain, he was next in line.
So, yeah. The GOP picked their candidate over a year ago, and they are PISSED we aren’t going along with it. Peggy Noonan wrote as much about a month ago.
There WAS a nominee. We changed that at the grass roots, but at what point is this party going to get a clue in to the idea that it is time to FINALLY give a conservative a shot at it.
Sorry, but its guys like you that are trying to hang the future of the country on guys like me who WILL NOT STAY ON THE RESERVATION when I WASN’T THE GUY WHO LEFT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
Nope, if you get Obama. Do. Not. Blame. Me. You can blame the Cardinals in the GOP college that sent the white smoke up the chimney on this fraud from before the first primary. Romney was a presumption. You are trying to perpetrate that presumption.
For me, I think Gingrich SHOULD stay in. Between Santorum and Gingrich, they should pull every free-thinking, liberty-cherishing conservative left in the party and when they go to broker the convention, they can be a ticket and send Romney back to the People’s Republic of Massachusetts.
So SICK of the lectures about another four years of Obama.
Can you IMAGINE if McCain had actually won? I’m glad this idiot had to pull the scabs off of all the banks, the CME, ratings agencies, Fannie, Freddie, and Sallie. The D’s created this in the first place during Rubin/Clinton - LET THEM OWN IT!
Obama went so much better than owning the economy. He assaulted the church, bilked taxpayers out of billions, destroyed the commodities market with Corzine, etc.
If we win, let it be a conservative, or let the idiot Obama completely destroy the country. We apparently aren’t smart enough to learn from the last 100 years worth of mistakes. Before its over, I’ll be dead, or we’ll be chasing liberals down in the streets with weapons.
I’d rather not see it come to that, but if Romney gets the nod, Obama wins by default. “Thanks for the idea for Obamacare, Mitt, I couldn’t have done it without you!” And that’s it. That’s the election.
So please, peddle the ‘Obama is going to be your fault’ among McConnell, Cantor, and the rest of the college of Cardinals that picked that charlatan in the first place.
I’m not buying it, and neither should any sentient being still left in the conservative caucus.
Moreover, IF you vote for Romney, you are now personally responsible for what he’s about to perpetrate, which is a half-hearted attempt at repealing Obamacare, (which was his idea), and a temporary liberal lovefest from the press when he gives up and learns to love it.
He’ll bask in the love from the MSM, the narcissist that he is, until he needs them again, and like every other DC Republican, he’ll be shocked to find the press has turned on him.
You want me to get behind Etch-A-Sketch?
Read post #25.
MassCare is run by the state. Big difference in my mind!
You can move out of a state if you don’t like it. Let each state decide how to approach healthcare. Leave the fed out of it, PERIOD!
He has promised to do away with Obamacare too many times to go back on his word. We can hold him and the House to that promise and work to get enough votes in the senate to go along.
It’s not as easy as going to the polls and voting and then go on with your daily life forgetting the troubles we have. We have to let our leaders know that we will hold their feet to the fire and make them keep those promises.
I still remember what we got when so many decided to vote third party against Bush sr. He’s a rino, they said well, we got filth in the WH just like we have today.
It seems history repeats itself as long as people don’t learn valuable lessons from the past.
IMO, you deserve some kind of FreeRepublic award for that post. I’m serious. Good, no, GREAT job!
Great rant. You reflect my sentiments exactly. And why I bought my current farm in central Kentucky two weeks before the 2008 election and moved here permanently from my 45 year home of Seattle.
I’m a prepper. It’s foolish not to be. One would have to be willfully blinded to not see where this is headed.
Well said.
