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...

If we are going to have a gun grabbing socialist with no integrity in the Whitehouse, let it be a Democrat.

I will never vote for Romney. I’m finished with the lesser of two evils BS.

It's too late for this cycle, but I feel that it's time the conservatives abandon the Republican Party and form one of our own. We will never wrench the power from the elite establishment.
We need to think of what our core issues should be, start the process now. What do you think .....

A Romney nomination would have several lasting and serious repercussions.

A split of Conservatives/Tea Party away from the establishment GOP.

A third-party Tea Party candidate running in the fall.

The likelihood of an Obama second term on a 40% plurality.

The end of the GOP as they finish third.

“Newt and Mitt aren’t Marxists.....

We can thank all of those who don’t vote for letting
Obama win again.”

Mitt is a gun grabbing socialist. Go ahead and thank me. I would rather have the gun grabbing socialist in chief be a Democrat than a Republican.

“We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.”

― Thomas Jefferson-

I don't agree the non-voters should be blackballed for staying home...some shouldn't be voting in the first place...others have a conscious and will not put their signiture supporting Romney....and most haven't a clue how dangerous Romney is to this nation...he will take us the same direction as Obama...only with another agenda in mind.... the only difference is he'll do so deceptively and you'll never know it til it hits you in the face. At least with Obama we know as he can't seem to hide his plays very well...Romney , on the other hand is a master sneak....he'll tell you one thing and do another and that right under your nose.

So no...I will also not vote for Romney...and any can call it a vote for Obama if they choose...but if Romeny gets it we're done anyway....and you can put on your "One World" Dancing shoes because Romney will haul butt to get us there fast....and all with convincingly saying it's good for Americans....

Romeny Quote:...."I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that’s the America millions of Americans believe in. That’s the America I love.”

and Mitt paid some guy to write this?????

Actually, I would be in favor of joining a new party called The Constitution Party. It would be able to integrate all Tea Partyers as this is essentially what the Tea Party is.

In starting a Constitution Party, it will be clear to everyone exactly what the Party stands for. The Republican Party will dissolve into the mish-mash it is now. The Democrat Party will be exactly what it is now - the Socialist Party.

When do we start?

Right there with you on this one veritas 2002.

Here was my rant on an earlier thread.

In 1981 when Reagan was shot I prayed he would live and not leave us with the abominable RINO Establishment GHWBush.

In 1988, I heard GHWBush say, "Read my lips" and thought, "Well, he learned something from Reagan."

But the RINO reverted to true form and abandoned conservatives with new taxes. Like a birthright being forfeited for a bowl of soup, he squandered the election for a "promise" from Democrats.

Considering the alternative was a total liberal Asshat (redundancy police notified) I held my nose and voted for him AND warned my friends they were electing Clinton if they threw their vote away on Pee-ROT!

So, in 1992 I held my nose and voted for GHWB...Clinton won and trashed the Constitution. BUT was countered by a man named Newt Gingrich.

In 1996 I held my nose and voted for Dole...Clinton won and continued trashing the Constitution. And continued to be countered by Newt Gingrich until the RINO Establishment stabbed Newt in the back.

In 2000 I held my nose and voted for GWB...and he barely beat a total jackass named Gore and then cozied up to Ted Kennedy with social programs.

In 2004 I held my nose and voted for GWB again...and he narrowly beat another total jackass named Kerry and wimped out on nearly every issue except National Security and in so doing foisted Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid into prominence.

And in 2008 I held my nose and voted for McCain...and Idi Obama won and trashed the Constitution.

Newsflash....I am NOT holding my nose anymore!

I am staying home and sending a message of Never Another RINO.

Well, what about the Congressional elections you might say.

Listen up!

Republicans control the House and haven't done SQUAT to stop the Idi Obama regime from running roughshod over the Constitution, and the Republican Senators act as if there is a Democrat super-majority in that chamber, so what good did it do to elect them to the majority in the House and increase their numbers in the Senate?

Anybody who wants my vote now...has to damn well earn it!

And after watching Mitt Romney "govern" Massachusetts and cozy up to the most liberal of Dems, he has a snowball's chance in Hell of convincing me to get off my ass and vote for him.

It will also be destroyed if Romney gets in as well. That's just the fact.

-- America will be destroyed if Obama wins again. --

The worst that happens would probably be a good thing, collapse of the federal government and ascension of the states to fill the vacuum.

I'm not buying that the GOP can avert what you propose will happen - in other words, America might well be destroyed anyway. The Republicans have shown darn good talent at increasing the debt and increasing the spending.

As far as I can see, neither Romney nor Gingrich is a conservative. Romney's track record as a devotee of Big Government is clear and undisputed and I will not vote for him.

Gingrich has previously endorsed an individual mandate in health-care, lobbied in favor of Bush's expansion of Medicare Part D, and endorsed the environmentalist wet dream of a carbon cap-and-trade market. He seems to be back-tracking furiously on all of these at the moment, but that doesn't reassure me. I'd greatly prefer a candidate whose positions a few years ago were the same ones he's espousing now that he's running for president.

I hope this does not mean you won't vote PERIOD!

Don't vote for Rino Romney but please consider voting down ticket for constitutional correct candidates down ticket. Even if the obamessiah wins, a constitutional congress can hold the line against an anti-american president and maybe we can take the next 4 years to build the constitutional party we desire.

a non-vote is a vote for Obama. As Rush said,,,, Obama is a Marxist. Newt and Mitt aren’t Marxists..... We can thank all of those who don’t vote for letting Obama win again.

I don’t give a flying fig what Rush or any of the other elites say. The only difference between willard and obozo, is the color of their skin.
I will not vote for that gun stealing, baby killing, gay loving, commie care azzwipe EVER!
THEIR IS NO DISTICTION BETWEEN THESE TWO MARXST!
Let the chips fall where they may...
After that it becomes “GOD’S WAR” against these sniveling little EVIL BASTARDS.

GO NEWT!!!!!

I remember in High School seeing Dole in the Debates sound like a complete coot, barely able to keep awake.

That was Bob Dole before Viagra. He's still a coot, though.

Let me clarify:
I will NOT vote for Romney no matter what.

I WILL vote for every other Republican on the ticket that is...

until the new Constitution Party is formed with:
1. Other disaffected Republicans
2. Conservatives
3. Tea Partyers
4. Independents
5. Libertarians

So nominate Newt.

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?
