It could be that we may be headed towards a brokered convention.
I would rather have the devil I know for 4 years than the devil who is not a conservative for 8 years.
I cannot vote for Romney.
I would rather have Obama.
It sounds weird.
BUT, both will continue to destroy America. We have a better chance, albeit a small one, for victories against Obama than Romney. Of course,Boehner and Mcconnell need to go for us to have a better chance.
I’ll probably vote for myself as president.
W/Romney as candidate, I’m only interested in senate races.
2010 tea party landslide in house, where most seats up for grab.
Only a third of senate seats were up for grabs then.
2012 can finsh the job for the senate.
Presidency lost. Look elsewhere.
Romney as governor - raised taxes and only cut spending by cutting payments to localities.
My prediction w/Romney as president:
Higher taxes and reduced payments to states.
Describing a 46% win as a landslide is BS - stopped reading right there.
I fell into the 3’rd party trap in 92 and 96 and will never do so again until we have runoff elections for all public offices including president. Ideally, nobody should ever have to fear to vote his first choice, at least on a first ballot, and nobody should ever hold any public office with less than 50% of the vote. But we don’t live in an ideal world yet.
vote for John Galt
There is not a dimes worth of difference between Romney and BHO.
If Romney is the nominee, I will not vote for president, other offices absolutely, just not president.
5.Remember The Alternative - You think four more years of Obama would be better than four to eight of Romney?
Well both are lilberal sacks of crap.....but with Obama you KNOW that it’s only 4 more years.
Decisions, decisions.
I will vote, but not for Romney. Conservatism will be set back by a Romney win more than by an Obama win.
10.Checks, Balances. So what if the GOP had no candidate at all, and we were looking at a victory for Obama by default today? What would you be doing now, all you good conservatives? Working to make sure the conservatives hold the House and take the Senate? OK – so let’s say Romney really is as bad as you all want us to believe he is. And let’s say he’s inevitable. Your choices then are “stay home” or “do what you’d do if Obama was going to win – try to negate his power and influence by taking control of Congress”. Why, precisely, should you not then be working to flip the Senate and extend our lead in the House/ Because the opportunity is there, folks, to not just flip Congress completely against either Obama or a hypothetical “moderate” Romney, but flip it to a version of the GOP that, so far, has been pretty Beltway-proof, and fairly dedicated to the mission for which they were sent to GOP by the Tea Party and a newly-resurgent conservative movement in the first place; togovern like conservatives. Keeping them that way is our job. Provided we don’t “stay home” and “teach everyone a lesson”. Because the only “lesson” you “teach” by staying home is that you’re unreliable and marginal. Don’t be that.
#10 is the only good piece of advice the rest are just Romney sh*t.
Good article. I know how disappointed many of us are (I was solidly in the Rick Perry camp and am still ticked off), but I don’t understand how anyone who calls himself a Republican and/or a Conservative could possible “sit this one out” and let Obama have another four years. Honest to goodness — I would vote for Charles Manson over the joke we have in the White House right now. We’re tearing ourselves apart here, and the Liberals are just standing back, enjoying it all. If Newt wins, I’ll vote for him; if Mitt wins, I’ll vote for him — heck, if Ron Paul wins, I’ll vote for him. But let’s stop demonizing our candidates and start emphasizing positive reasons to vote for our favorites. And maybe they’ll start doing the same.
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.
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. . .
ROMNEY WILL NOT GET MY VOTE IN NOVEMBER!!!! TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!!!
Geeeezzz
