Not Voting, Not An Option

I'm not sure which is more exasperating - the Obama lemmings or the Paul Bots. ARGH. The left cannot see what their party is doing to them (it's NOT their father's Democratic Party) and the libertarians cannot see what their non vote will do to the Republic - and some have said THEY DON'T CARE!

I've said it 'till I'm blue in the face (no pun intended) -

People, people, people - what matters is who is appointed and confirmed to the Supreme Court. There will likely be two to four vacancies to fill within the next four years. These seats will steer the direction of our country for the next twenty years. Our Republic, as we know it, cannot withstand another Kagan or Sotomayor. We cannot withstand another four years of the Apologist in Chief or his enforcer Eric Holder. Ask yourself - are you OK with Supreme Court Justice Eric Holder? How about another four years of United Nations Head Cheerleader Hillary Clinton? Agenda 21, Law of the Sea, UN Gun Ban, and the list goes on. Do you really want to know what BO meant when he told Putin to wait until after the election, when he would have more flexibility? Do you really think he was just kissing Sarah Brady's hiney when he told her he was "flying under the radar" in regards to gun control? Let's not find out. OK?

There’s just no convincing the Paulistinians. They all get their news from ‘The Daily Paul’

Hmmm ~ so Holder won’t be extradited to Mexico? Isn’t he wanted by Arizona anyway?

I agree. Some of these people are just dumb and blind-others choose to put blinders on themselves.

Either way it hurts our Republic. There are people I will no longer speak with because of this election, and it the divide will get only worse afterwards.

What guarantees do we have that Romney will appoint a conservative? Even if he selects a "conservative", how do we know he/she will consistently vote the conservative line? Looking over Mitt's appointee record while he was governor and I'm not convinced he would do the right thing if and when it he has the chance to re-populate the Supreme Court.

So if we aren’t convinced Mitt will appoint conservatives we should just let Obama win even though we KNOW he won’t appoint conservatives?

Am I misunderstanding your logic?

Bear in mind the most likely retiree will be Ginsburg and she’s far left. Romney won’t appoint someone like her. It will be someone on the right. How right they will be is open to questioning, but we know for a fact Obozo would appoint Eric Holder as a SCJ or something ridiculous like that.

There are absolutely no guarantees about anything including whether you or me wake up tommorrow morning. There is no such thing as a risk-free candidate. But can you imagine four more years of Obama?

The two most important Supreme Court cases for social conservatives in the last half century were Roe v. Wade and Lawrence v. Texas. In the first one, 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by Republican Presidents. In the latter one, 5 of the 9 justices were appointed by Republican Presidents.

We have met the enemy, and he is us.

They want our votes, but not our values. Until they have to earn our votes, they will continue to give us more of the same.

It’s quandaries such as this that make me glad I live in California. My vote doesn’t count for any Statewide or Federal office due to the overwhelming majority of brain dead liberals. I don’t know how the rest of you conservatives can face the choice handed to you. I will write in Thomas Sowell for President and my conscience is clear.

Is this really the way to find the best leader for the Free World?
