I haven't "sold out" to anyone, editor-surveyor. I have written very critically of Romney in the past, as you may know. He is not my "pick." I have not contributed to his campaign either monetarily or as a volunteer, and have no plan to do so.
On the other hand, I have said that I will vote for anyone who is going up against Obama, and I mean to do that. I vastly would have preferred to vote for Gov. Perry or Senator Santorum. But they have withdrawn. At this point, I don't care if "the last man standing" is Romney, Gingrich, or Ron Paul — I'll vote for the GOP candidate. I have repeated ad nauseam that, to me, defeat of Obama is Job One, on the grounds that his continuance in office would further undermine our nation and its institutions.
Four more years of Obama would kill us. To me, anyone is preferable to him.
The difference of opinion I have with so many of my FReeper friends can probably be explained by noting that we aren't even dealing with the same problem.
To me, the problem is getting rid of Obama before he does any more damage to our constitutional republic, to our order of Liberty. To you, the problem is nominating the "right" person.
Whether we like it or not, Romney seems to have built critical momentum; he seems to have "the wind at his back" by now. But of course, I could be mistaken about this. The five primaries next Tuesday will test this hypothesis.
In gloomier mood, I believe that what is likely to happen is that a divided GOP will not unite behind its candidate if that candidate is Romney. And in consequence, Obama will eke out a victory.
The fractious GOP has a bad habit of shooting itself in the foot. One thing you have to credit the political Left in this country for is that, no matter their disagreements, they give lock-step, unified support to their electoral candidates once they are identified. Even the most passionate Hillary supporter back in the 2008 campaign did not hesitate for an instant to transfer their allegiance and support to Obama when it became clear he had secured the nomination. (By hook and by crook, as it turns out. But that's another story.)
And that is the "secret" of their gaining and holding power, even if it means the ruination of our nation.
BB, the post that I replied to was you ragging on another freeper for supporting Newt or Palin, so obviously you are in the tub for the loser masquerading as a Republican.
Most of the GOP base wants “anybody but Romney” to be our candidate, and will willingly support “anybody but Romney.” Its the Romney bunch that are the problem, because they are Luciferians that will not support a non-Luciferian candidate. (the ‘Bush’ cadre)
Is your solution really to jump on board with the Luciferian for the sake of party unity?
