"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat," the American humorist Will Rogers once said. He also said, "Democrats never agree on anything. That's why they're Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans."
Will Rogers must be turning in his grave because this is the year that Democrats are organized and do agree on something — the need to defeat the Republicans.
That means if Republicans want to win this election, it's time to unite behind the only candidate that can still win the party's nomination, Mitt Romney, and then explain to voters how the core Republican philosophy of less government and lower taxes will rally the economy.

Once the general election begins, Republicans must be sure to fight the battle on their terms. They'll have a businessman who created jobs versus a big-spending Democrat who has presided over four years of unemployment. They'll have a man who has succeeded at everything versus a failed president.
And they'll still have the issues that matter most to Americans on their side. According to a December Gallup poll, 64 percent of Americans said the biggest threat to the economy is big government, which can't be good news to Democrats, who love big government. Another 8 percent cited big labor, a Democratic Party ally. Only 26 percent said the same about big business, which traditionally is associated with Republicans.
A strong nominee, a united party, and a coherent message about the dangers of big government versus Obama and his big-government record. If that's what Republicans run with, they'll win.

Add to that, the fact that there will be many solid Conservative who will join his administration, who will remind him every day of those promises. This is no longer Liberal Massachusetts we are trying to appease. This is a country that is on the verge of collapse. And if we do not get a strong fiscal manager/professional in office to stop the bleeding immediately, the free enterprise system dies and becomes even more vulnerable to Totalitarian rule.
History has proven this rule all through out time. Just recall what happened to Russia and China under the same scenario.
If you are actually for this, then there is something wrong with the way you think.
If America collapses there will be no “picking up the pieces”.
We will if that happens be invaded and most all of us will die.
That’s the truth.
Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, even Cuba will not stand on the sidelines watching a rag-tag group emerge from “Galts Gulch” waving Wolverines flags, to build some new world.
They’ll obliterate us all.
If the price of removing Obama is the sacrifice of all principle, it hardly matters.
But, in any case, the idea that I in any way support leaving Obama in office is ludicrous.
I doubt there are any FReepers who have worked harder, or longer, against Obama than myself.
No, you are not correct, your bit of evidence doesn’t support your claim. Certainly you’re aware that the ideas behind the MA health care plan was originally supported by some conservative groups, and even Newt, as an alternative to the far more radical single payer plans (advocated by most Democrat governors, by the way).
The fact that the MA plan emerged under Romney does not make him the most liberal governor in history. Moreover, if MA citizens decide they’re unhappy with their plan, they can organize and vote to remove it. Other states are free to observe the MA experiment and devise other ideas more in line with individual freedom.
But I know you won’t be happy until I give you the name of a more liberal governor. So, just go find a list of all the current Democrat governors, get a sharp pencil, close your eyes, and make a check mark.
"As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty."
Uh, by collapse I mean DC can’t pay it’s obligations, the people don’t get SS checks, a run on the banks, riots, etc.
The army takes over for a while, the Republic is reset.
Provisional military government for 6 months, then new elections for all congressional seats and the WH, incumbents need not apply, strict term limits.
Only tax paying citizens and veterans are enfranchised in the new Republic.
All amendments other than the original bill of rights are repealed.
“Dueling” legalized within Washington DC limits.
Problem solved
We will never be invaded to a significant degree, that’s the nice part about being oceans away from your enemy
“April Fools!”
....
You totally got me!
Laughing even as my hair is bristling . . .
Of course you couldn't. There isn't one.
America has approached the level of complete moral decay and is about to become irretrievable. The younger generations have been brainwashed with Liberal/Marxist ideology and philosophy. They even decided to vote one in as President, believing that he would create the world that they had been misled into advocating.
I am to the point where I hope it is not too late to stop, but we need to do it immediately. We cannot play around with 3rd party experiments or letting the Democrats take it because our selfish pride is too important to relinquish.
Certainly I'm aware. That's what Romney Republicans do.
The old joke is so often apt these days:
"The Democrats propose to tear down the Washington Monument, and the Republicans respond with a workable plan to do it in three stages."
Why not just say you support Romney because you are a Mormon and stop making ridiculous arguments.
If Barry wins it is important to put the blame where it belongs - on the backs of the liberal elite GOP.
“If you can’t support his opponent, don’t try to make yourself out as any kind of conservative. Just admit your a zealot and be done with it.”
Yes, vote for Heinrich Himmler. He is a hard working family man who loves his country, and Ernst Rohm is a dissolute and disgusting thug.
You party sell outs deserve your shackles.
The correct answer is NEITHER of these malevolent freaks.
Not sure I agree with your confidence in big oceans as modern day moats.
Military capabilities shrink the virtual size of oceans daily.
Already Mexico and Mexicans are recapturing the American southwest.
Deliberately.
Russia would probably love to take back Alaska, and perhaps let 200,000,000 Chinese troops establish a North American beachhead in the state as a prelude to the sometimes-predicted intrusion of that size and origination.
Cuba is close to Florida.
Canada though an ally, would not likely use military force to defend America - meaning our land border to the north is only as strong as Canada’s willingness to stay near it to keep a focused attack somewhere along it by an invader from elsewhere, from moving south unopposed.
We’re all sorts of vulnerable if we allow ourselves to fall into chaos.
This is the problem I have with “free trade” as well.
All these erstwhile conservative positions, lead not to more conservative realities on the ground.
They lead to American chaos.
In effect, a giant, inadvertently conservative created Cloward-Piven strategy.
With the same result.
“The Democrats propose to tear down the Washington Monument, and the Republicans respond with a workable plan to do it in three stages.”
Nice one! That really is the difference between these Bolshevik and Menshevik parties.
“All these erstwhile conservative positions, lead not to more conservative realities on the ground.
They lead to American chaos.

Agreed. We have had nothing but globalist presidents since 1989.
These are the only two choices we have. One or the other is going to lead the nation.
Get over it, and try for better choices next time.
OI think there are several who are pushing for it. Don’t forget, it was the MA Supreme Court that established gay marriage. I don’t recall Romney advocating it at a national level. Romney was governor of a politically radical state and was limited in his ability to apply the brakes. This is a man who Rick Santorum labeled “conservative” four years ago and, as another poster put it, has spent the last year promising to govern from a conservative perspective. I believe he will strive for this. Of course I’d prefer a more conservative choice. But when push comes to shove I will vote against Obama by voting for the Republican candidate.
“If Barry wins it is important to put the blame where it belongs - on the backs of the liberal elite GOP.”
And the credulous peons who parrot and obey them.
