Ten Things You Should Do If You’re An “Anybody But Mitt” Republican, And One You Should Not
Hot Air ^ | February 1, 2012 | Mitch Berg

Posted on 02/01/2012 6:55:12 AM PST by C19fan

Let’s say, hypothetically, for just a moment here, that some of the pundits are right – that Romney’s landslide victory in Florida means he really might be inevitable.

I’ve heard more than a few of you Newt and Paul supporters out there; “If Romney wins, I’m staying home on election day”.

While I’m not especially passionate about Romney just yet, I’ll reiterate what an awful idea this is. Don’t go there, people.

I’ve got ten suggestions for much more-productive responses.

Romney will not win no matter what we do. Obama can’t win on his record but he would demolish Romney with a negative campaign.
The only question is whether Romney will lose like Dukakis or like Mondale. Whether he’ll lose by a substantial margin or by a colossal margin.
That’s up to us.
I’m for Romney losing by a colossal margin. A total implosion of the GOP might result. Maybe then the TEA Party wing of the party will become the brain of the party.

Forget that, I AM gonna go there.

If Mitt is the nominee, it’s either third party or stay home for me. And I can guarantee you a lot of other folks are thinking this way, too, since even a year ago, the idea of NOT voting for the GOPer against Obama was completely abhorrent to me. If I’ve gotten to this point, I know there are a lot of others there with me - a lot more than who sat out on McCain in 2008.

“You think four more years of Obama would be better than four to eight of Romney?”

It quite possibly could be.

Boehner will fight Obama, he will not fight Romney.

I would rather have 4 more years of Zero then get a real conservative, perhaps Jindhal or one of the other rising stars in the GOP, in the White House then be stuck with Willard for 8 years or if he is in there for only 4 then we will have a Democrat back in White House and most likely Willard destroy the GOP brand insuring Nancy Pelosi and Reid are back running the Congress.

I’m with you! I am tired of these RINO “collaborators” telling me what I have to do!! I can no longer stomach these idiots. These are the same f—g brain surgeons who said I HAVE to vote for Ford, I HAVE to vote for Dole, I HAVE to vote for McCain . . .where does it get us?? Don’t these a—wipes ever get tired of being wrong and losing?!?!

As I’ve posted before, I won’t be critical of anyone who decides they still need to play the game, but as for me I’m done. For the first time in my adult life I will likely not vote at all. No RINO congressman, senator or even dog-catcher . . .Have also had it with the “our” conservative media who have basically been a cheering section for the GOP-E. No more Fox, talk radio, NRO, etc. ‘F’ them all!!! (Except of course for this “last stand” site)

I’m sure they will manage to get 5 moderate or liberal listeners for each one us conservatives that checks out. After all, that’s clearly their math formula for “winning” in November.

Regardless the outcome, may God have mercy on us all. . .

I cannot vote for Romney. I would rather have Obama. It sounds weird.

I have a slightly different twist to your position. My position is, if Romney is forced upon us as the GOP candidate to go up against Obama, then America deserves 4 more years of Obama-hell. You are correct when you say that both candidates will continue to destroy America, so I say let's accelerate the process rather than dragging it out like death by a thousand cuts. Let Obama utterly destroy the economy and cause us to go belly up. That way when it happens it will be seared into the retarded brains of the citizenry that it was the socialist democrats that were in charge and caused the demise of this once great nation. Then, and only then perhaps we can pick up the shattered pieces and rebuild America back to what it use to represent in freedom, liberty, and small government.

Not voting for Mitt.

The EGOP spent over 10 million literally making stuff up about Newt, and they think that all just goes away?

They run harder against us than they did Obama.

Planning on running against Obama? Romney better lawyer up good.
Prepare for constant screaming headlines about Bain, about Mormons, about the five Romney sons and everything they ever did, plus a lot of stuff they never did.
Trailer park real estate is going to get an uptick from this, with all the $20 bills flying around.
Meanwhile, Romney is writing the ads; see my tagline.

“”ROMNEY WILL NOT GET MY VOTE IN NOVEMBER!!!! TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!!!”””

Absolutely right. I will NEVER vote for a liberal from massatwozits.

I’m not losing hope. However, as an ex-mormon I will do whatever I can to prevent America being bought and paid for by a shadow government in Salt Lake City. I guess you can just call me a mormophobe.

Describing a 46% win as a landslide is BS - stopped reading right there.

Good point.

Wonder if the same Mitch Berg referred to Newt's similar victory margin in South Carolina as a "landslide"? Me thinks not.

Then don’t complain when our government falls apart. At least with Romney, it won’t fall apart in four years. With 0Bama, I’m not sure it will last four months.

I will crawl across glass to vote againt 0Bama. By the way . . .I plan to vote Gingrich or Santorum when my state has its primary . . .so don’t label me as a liberal.

Every day we get this kind of advice from “Concerned Sages on our side” all over. Sometims multiple times every freaking single day!

Where were they in 2010 for the moderate Republicans who rather have communist Coons than the conservative witch?

I will vote, but not for Romney. Conservatism will be set back by a Romney win more than by an Obama win.

Exactly. A vote for a Romney is a vote to admit that conservatives really don't care about conservatism, or principles, or any of that other lame garbage that only appeals to losers who actually care about the Constitution and this country.

It's time to tell the GOP-e that we're not going to go along with them anymore. It may even be time to kill their Party and create a new one that they don't have any say in.

This article is arrogant and patronizing, much like Romney himself.
