Era of Voting for RINOs is Declared Over
Veritas2002 | 01-26-12 | Vanity

Posted on 01/26/2012 11:19:20 AM PST by veritas2002

This morning I authored a Vanity Post declaring that under no circumstance would I vote for Romney.

Even though I am a lifelong Republican and have NEVER voted for a Democrat in my 60+ years, I am finished with the biased liberal media (including Fox) and the Republican establishment selecting my (losing) candidate. Here are some of my reasons:

In 1976, a sitting MODERATE Republican president named Gerald R. Ford ran against a two-bit peanut farming liberal Georgia governor and LOST.

1n 1992, a sitting MODERATE Republican president named George Bush ran against a liberal Arkansas governor with a history of raping and abusing women and LOST.

In 1996 a sitting MODERATE US Republican senator named Robert Dole ran against a sitting liberal president named William (stained blue dress) Clinton who was later impeached and disbarred and LOST.

In 2008, a long-term sitting MODERATE US Republican senator named John McCain ran against a do-nothing jerk US Senator from Illinois whose sole qualifying credential was as a community organizer for ACORN and student of Saul Alinsky and LOST.

And now in 2012, the Republican Party insiders, along with the liberal press are trying to once again pick our candidate - a MODERATE Massachusetts Governor who introduced socialized medicine to his State and guess what my friends...

Let the new world order begin! I think about going on Welfare so I can get me some a peice of that pie. While it last. Maybe sell a little crack on the side?

Kinda reminds me of Catch-22. When the world is crazy, then crazy advice suddenly seems less crazy.

Yossarian: Those bastards are trying to kill me.
1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder: No one is trying to kill you sweetheart. Now eat your dessert like a good boy.
Yossarian: Oh yeah? Then why are they shooting at me Milo?
Dobbs: They're shooting at everyone Yossarian.
Yossarian: And what difference does that make?
Dobbs: Look Yossarian, suppose, I mean just suppose everyone thought the same way you do.
Yossarian: Then I'd be a damn fool to think any different.

Agree, can’t vote for Romney. If they run another one next go around I’m not voting for whoever that is either.8 Years of Mittens would do us in. That would mean 12 years of socialists running the country. If Obama is re-elected we can try and stop the slide at 8. Also Romney is not a moderate. He is a big time liberal democrat, the fix is in.

Agree the republican party must be destroyed if they give us Mitt. Don’t let the slime weesel back in the door either because they have money. Keep the liberals out.

Either way a conservative 3rd party is needed along with true conservative news. Only a matter of time before the gov’t tries to silence rebellion on the internet imo. Hopefully not, but we all know all they care about is their power.

Another party is needed and now is the time to do it. When the 3rd party rises to power cut the elites off at the knees by taking their money. That would help end the elite world media that portrays itself as American, they are not. And we could get on with building a great nation again. The rich republicans have had their shot. Now it is time for ours.

(***murp***) You are wrong, wd. Sarah has been called everything, including and especially, RINO, in this forum. Check any Bachmann thread. As has Demint, much to my surprise.

But put down the Jack Daniels and try to pay attention...I said which one of THE CANDIDATES...that would be someone who ran for president in this election cycle. Man or woman. Anyone.

Not past beloved conservative icons or up-and-coming beloved icons. Candidates.

You have failed, tiny creature. You could not name a single GOP candidate who has not been labeled a “RINO” in this forum. Deflecting your pathetic incompetence won’t work. Oh, and running to your sandbox playmates won’t work either.

“he won two elections”

Barely. And he bears quite a bit of responsibility for Obama’s election in 08.

The United States was the first country with a written constitution that limited the powers of the government. If we don’t keep the politicians to it, we lose everything! The process is our product. If the ends justify the means, then we revert to savagery.

When he loses, does he just become one more moderate loser, or do we finally see an end of posts like this with their shaky assumption that the more conservative candidate will always win?

x, you are right over the target. Assumptions are dangerous.



Where there's a shell, there's a way.

25 years ago, we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope.
Today we have Obama, no cash, and no hope!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings.

How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).

And finally, this, dedicated to the one and only rdb2, whose eyes are growing dim.

Either way, the violin is sweet yet LETHAL.

Do it!

I’ve emerged from my cocoon - a re-born ‘original intenter’!

(and remembered my password)

Question: Which of Clinton’s policies did Bush repeal?

CRA? Nope.
Steagall/Glass repeals? Nope.

I am 60 years old. I’ve seen quite a few elections.

“NOT voting against Obama will only get us four more years of this same shit....”

What you don’t get is that we are being manipulated by the DC crowd. Romney and Obama are a hair apart.

Please refrain from the use of profanity, though that is my sentiment, exactly.

Then we’ll call it the American Party...So when any party runs against our candidates, they’ll be running against the “Americans”!!!(I’m not joking...I’m deadly serious!)

Let the chips fall where they may... After that it becomes “GOD’S WAR” against these sniveling little EVIL BASTARDS.

Amen to this. We knew this day had to come sometime, this election cycle may well be the harbinger of what's on the horizon. The left has been inexorable in consolidating power and entrenching themselves. Whole generations have been indoctrinated, and never have so many seen government as the source of all life.

I am doing the same if Romney gets the nomination. Another freeper said, to the effect, let the chips fall where they may, when it comes to the point where we have no choice, it is God’s war. I truly believe the left is consolidating its lock on power through its almost total entrenchment in media and academia. Now we have the ultimate power play-both electoral options are of the left.
