Probably not. I can't stand his lying liberal ass.
But a vote for him is the only one that hurts Obama. Even a little bit.
It sends a message that does NOT end up in the trash can.
Besides.. maybe Romney's magic underpants are REAL and will help him win.
As Donald Rumsfeld would say, "You go to war with the army you've got - not with the army you wish you had."
The important thing now is, we send Obama and his Communist thugs packing, decisively take over the Senate, and increase our numbers in the House. We need to do this simply to survive and continue the war.
Once we send the main enemies into retreat and reverse the deadly course we find ourselves on, we can concentrate on eliminating the Quisling factions within the GOP and our own ranks and restoring this country to what our Founding Fathers intended it to be - a Constitutional Republic ruled by a sovereign and free people and not by a self-serving fascist oligarchy!
If they felt older, I don’t envy them!!
Last time I changed a diaper was a quarter century ago - not exactly looking forward to it again. Have no idea where green poo comes from, but my Lord does it stink.

Being a Republican president is the hardest job in the World. Reagan had to cut deals with the Democrat Congress and Bush had to compromise with both. parties to keep the finances for the WOT going. Meanwhile, the entire body of people who are against you never stops attacking.
Its lose-lose.
Most Pizza Hut's have anchovies if you ask for them.
I think just staring at the listing for 0bama/Biden might just be enough for you to endure it. Imaging out country after another 4 years of 0bama makes me nauseous enough to endure almost anything.
Broken-Glass Republican here.
I’m glad we are calling a truce. I hated to see FR torn apart and such low morale.
I’m late to the party and this may have already been suggested:
My hope and dream, and those of many I talk to, is that before the next election we form a huge, powerful conservative coaltion with an extremely well funded super PAC. Before the next mid terms and especially before the next Presidential, we have a plan in place to “pre-vet” and pre select OUR conservative candidate. We have a platform that any potential candidate to our “wing” of the GOP, or new “Country” party, or whatever we call it must pledge, and we have leadership that looks at those who dare call themselves conservative to see what they’ve really stood for. Set a standard for what is acceptable % compliance and then from among the available candidates, vet them and come up with ONE that will run either within the GOP against whoever the GOPe decides to put up for “their” candidate, or on a third party ticket. I think we could take back the GOP but we cant do it with this continual circular firing squad. As someone said, even Reagan might not have gotten the nomination in this climate.
Conservative Candidate selection, DONE BEFORE THE PRIMARY SEASON STARTS!
ONE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE to go up against the GOPe choice!
How do we select them out of the media eye, yet include true conservatives in the selection process? I don’t know — but we better figure it out, or we are going to get even more liberal/socialist candidates every year from now on, if we even survive to another election.
Well, you know.. I've known Jim for a while now and I don't really think he would presume to tell me or anyone else how to vote.
Actually, I think he would be appalled at the notion of doing so.
Jim can certainly persuade and recommend and dictate what HIS site is used for,
but I've never seen him try to tell anyone how to vote. He fought for your FReedom to choose that.
You can take it however you like and more power to you.
Me, I reckon this ain't fantasy football. You can pretend it is all you like.
“I didn’t leave the Republican Party. The party left me.” Ronald Reagan, 2012
So how about the recently banned Romney supporters who long ago recognized the futility of a third party. You going to reinstate them?
That is the most insightful and true thing I have read here all day. Thank you.
Oh dear! Has it been so long that you've forgotten which end to diaper? lol
I will do what I have to to get Obama out of office. I’ll lose my mind and my country if he gets another four years. And I will keep my eye on Sarah Palin for 2016 as the backlash to her may be a little less by then if Obama is out. The woman was born to be president and for four years I’ll continue to urge her to run. In the meantime, it’s a conservative movement from the bottom up. Infiltration and domination.
I’ve already contributed to FR this FReepathon. It’s vital. Thx, JimRob for your wisdom.
It is the way to look at it, an agenda-ized perspective, to compensate for the fact that in voting for Romney, you're voting for a liberal.
A more complete way to look at it is that by casting your vote for someone other than Obama OR Romney in the General, neutral between those two, you are using your vote to weaken either liberal victory.
Some suggested themes for future 'Unity Threads' ...
Abraham Lincoln: Liberator or Tyrant?
Microsoft or Apple?
George W. Bush: Conservative or not?
RINO: the conclusive definition.
Carry on.
Good post. Thanks for posting it.
I do think you are on to something, pegging Responsibility2nd as an Alinskyite. He certainly seems to have those tactics down well. Sad that he uses them so fiercely against any conservative that would dare suggest Ron Paul is a less evil choice than Romney.
The Primary has not come to California yet. When it does on June 5th, it looks like my Republican Candidate choices will be down to only Mitt Romney or Ron Paul.
Electing Romney will seal the deal for the Rino Republican Elite for probably the remainder of my lifetime. Conservative influence over the Republican party will then have been quite effectively neutered.
Still being a voter of the Anybody but Obama and Anybody but Romney persuasion, and no longer having the option of Palin, Cain, Santorum, Bachman or Gingrich, etc. I will grit my teeth and vote for the last non Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Statist Republican candidate standing, warts, flaws and all. (Not Romney)
This nation’s worst enemies are not Obama or Romney. They are the people that would vote for Socialism/Marxism/Fascism/State-ism over our Constitution.
In my opinion, a great many Romney Primary voters, knowingly or otherwise, fall into this category.
Romney as the presumptive nominee shows that our electorate has yet to learn from the mistake that Obama represents.
In the General, I think it likely that Romney will name a non Natural Born citizen to the VP slot, to provide ongoing cover for Obama. He won’t get my vote then, either, although I can and do understand the temptation to perceive Romney as the lesser evil Compared to Obama. (or as simply a chance to get in a few more years of preparation before the SH** finally Hits The Fans that both of these candidates have steered us towards their entire political careers.)
And no, Responsibility2nd, I too am not and never have been a 911 Truther, Pro-Abortion, Anti Military, Gay Agenda supporting, Drug Legalization supporting Paul-bot.
I AM an Anti-Socialism, Anti-Marxism, Anti-Fascism, Anti-State-ism, Pro Limited Government, Pro US Constitution voter.
Jim declared a truce. Perhaps it’s time to give the Alinsky tactics against those who love the Constitution at least as much as you do, a rest.
The Beast
I am almost as depressed over Romney being the nominee as I was when Obama was elected. I feel like we are fighting a losing battle. The libs have all the power and seemingly the money. Maybe God has just abandoned the United States now. I don’t have much confidence in the future of America.
“We have to work together. My plan is not to talk to sellout Rombots at all.”
Do you not see something wrong with those two sentences?
You need EVERY vote to do anything and to break off into little factions is political suicide. Russia has a ton of disparate parties. They insure the Communists win everytime.
