“That comment makes me VERY uncomfortable, Jim.”
I’m undecided in this election. I probably won’t actually decide until I’ve got the ballot sitting in front of me. I’m that torn. Clearly voting for BHO is a nonstarter. However I’m having a very hard time reconciling the idea of voting for a faux conservative for President when there are real, honest to goodness conservatives running as 3rd party candidates. Sarah Palin is wonderful. It’s very unfortunate that she isn’t leading the ticket.
So does that make me a hard case? Probably. Does it mean I’ll get my “lip busted”? If it does, so be it.
So I guess the real burning question to ask here is whether Free Republic is a conservative website? Or is it changing to strictly a GOP club?
I’d wager, off hand, that right now, Free Republic is an anti-0bamba site.
We’re a web site that’s going to pushing mighty hard against the baby murdering, gun grabbing, America-hating Marxist surrender monkey, Barak Hussein Obama. If you’re going to push some other line, you might want to do it elsewhere. It may get pretty uncomfortable for you here.
The real burning question is how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Study Obama very carefully.
You’re voting AGAINST this dangerous man.
.
You are in Virginia...it is people like you who we need right now to stand down on the personal pride issue and do something like standing up for your country. I am not a big McCain fan either...totally Palin for me as well...but you are in a VERY crucial state and we NEED your vote.
Don’t think about it...just do it. Way too much to lose otherwise. Take it from someone who used to live in Palm Beach County in 2000...it was one of my votes that helped Bush win and kept Gore and his insanity out of the White House.
Obama is thousands of times more dangerous than Gore.
Is that reason enough?

I’ll tell you how I came to decide to enthusiastically support and vote for McCain/Palin. When Gov. Palin was named as the VP candidate the party had my vote locked up and a donation sent in as well. The honest-to-goodness conservative I was looking for in the election showed up and is now #2 on the Republican ticket. Early on I was a Duncan Hunter supporter who was going to refrain when I saw all the quasi-Republicans bouncing around as front-runner options.
BHO is a whole other candidate, one we’ve never seen the likes of in this country. Ever.
You run the Surviving Socialism ping list.... Please consider applying that thinking beyond the economy/current market madness/seemingly endless bailouts.
I think of how this country will be affected in a micro/macrocosm manner, but I’ll share some of my personal & practical reasonings. Please bear with me.
I don’t want to worship God our Lord or His son Jesus Christ in secret.
I don’t want my husband’s earnings (I’m a stay at home mom to 3, almost 4) taxed at an even higher rate than they currently are. I don’t believe the over/under $250K feint; I believe to “spread the wealth” we all will pay and those who benefit will be ones running the show.
I don’t want those taxes being used to pay for abortions from conception to birth thanks to 0bama/Boxer’s ‘Freedom of Choice Act (FoCA) which will overturn every single abortion restriction & law in the country including parental notification, informed consent, partial birth abortion, born alive medical care and “viability” limits.
I don’t want to be told I can no longer listen to Andrew Wilkow or Mark Levin or Rush or Laura Ingraham. Or post on the Free Republic.
I don’t want to fear for the freedom of my family because we wrote anti-0bama comments on this forum and other blogs and produced and shared truthful 0bama videos with everyone we could to keep him out.
I don’t want to fear for the lives of my family because murderers and sociopaths have the guns and I cannot.
I don’t want to have my little children being forced into BHO’s universal preschool system so they can be taught full and graphic and interactive sex education by the end of kindergarten.
I don’t want to have to teach my youngest children, in secret?, about a forgotten and forbidden document called The United States Constitution.
I don’t want to have the right to homeschool all of my children permanently taken away from me.
I don’t want to have my children taken away from me.
I don’t want to witness a holocaust in our own country where the likes of us anti-0bama citizens are forced into camps & eliminated because the Weathermen really do have a say in an 0bama future.
I don’t want our men & women in the military fighting foreign wars in the name of Socialism/Communism/Marxism/Maoism... instead of Freedom.
I don’t want terrorists & dictators left unchecked to kill & slaughter civilizations worldwide.
I don’t want to forgo doctor’s visits because by the time we can get an appointment, the problem is over & it’s worse or it’s too late.
I don’t want justices installed into every court in the country that are sympathetic to his vision and so legislate all the above evils onto us.
I don’t want to let this happen, so I will vote against it.
John McCain is manageable. Palin is #2, and she is no pinup merely there to pretty up the old man. I don’t think she gives anyone the impression she will sit idly by and not let her thoughts on matters be known.
BHO & his plans are completely incompatible to this country and unmanageable for anyone who opposes them. Should he win, and should his supporters & comrades continue to control Congress I fear what they will bring. Socialism’s disease, once let in to a country’s innerworkings, is nearly impossible to cure.
I am sorry this is so long. I love my country deeply. BHO and his wife do not. I fear if we do not fight back this threat, our world will change in ways that will be a lot more uncomfortable than what we’re talking about right now on this forum.
I’ve taken to realizing this is common sense: this IS good versus evil. In my opinion, BHO is not just a democrat or a liberal or a socialist or a marxist or fascist. He’s evil and he seeks a revolution that will destroy the ideals that make this country the greatest on earth.
His agenda is the ruin of this country, and if he is able to implement that agenda “conservative” will be a very uncomfortable designation from sea to shining sea.
I hope you understand why I wrote this out... as much as a part of you understands why you knew you’d get responses like mine when you posted. ;)
Best to you..
Maybe Robert McFarlane, Reagan's National Security Advisor, can help you decide.
There's an old Groucho Marx riff in which he launches a new career as a stick-up artist -- while worrying that his native cowardice may not induce the requisite fear among his victims. Sure enough, after a little time in a dark alley he springs out to confront his first victim, points his gun to his own head and says, "Take one step closer and I'll kill myself."
Such is the posture today among pundits on the far right of the Republican Party as Sen. John McCain moves closer to receiving his party's nomination. Consider the destructive implications of their pledge to work against Mr. McCain's nomination and even -- in the event he is nominated -- not to vote in the general election.
.....
Surely Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter can agree that these challenges are terribly demanding and cannot be left to luck or divine providence. Finally, there is the cost of their extremist rhetoric to the Republican Party. As President Reagan once told me, "Going over the cliff, flags flying, is still going over the cliff."
If you don't vote, you help Obama get elected.
Sometimes there are no GOOD choices.
Incidentally, you can also consider this as a way to springboard to Sarah 2012.
Cheers!
Well.... you’re a Democrat. That says it all. Spare us your anguish, okay?
