Been saying this for quite some time but I will reiterate:
As a Christian, Romney is not my first choice. But by declaring you wont vote for Romney who may not share your religious or philosophical views, you are voting for more Obolshevik. If that is what you want, say so.
But face up to the political reality: elections have consequences.The key is to elect as many true conservatives to Congress, so that the president can be overridden if he makes bad choices.
If Obambi is returned to office, no more complaints; just look in the mirror for the right person to blame.The fact is that any republican president with a conservative Congress will be a vast improvement over this train-wreck poseur that is currently occupying the White House.
The blame (100% of it) goes to those that voted for the stupid bastard in the primaries.
If that fits you, look in your own mirror.
If all you wanted was lots of liberal and moderate votes in Nov you should have nominated Hillary for the GOPe.
If your goal is to get conservative voters, you don't nominate a liberal puke like Mutt Romney!
I have been spending a lot of time thinking and praying about this, and as I have stated, despite his warts, past history, flip-flops, etc. And despite favoring Sarah, Cain, Santorum and then Newt, should he go on and get the committed 1,144 delgates needed to win the GOP nomination, I will vote for Romney in order to defeat Obama. It is, IMHO, absolutely vital for the welfare and future of our nation that we remove Obama.
At the same time, as Jim says, we simply MUST also put in place a House and Senate that will hold Romney to the promises and commitments he is making, should he win. On his own site, those commitments are listed...we should all know and memorize tham and then hold him to them, because for the most part, they of themselves are good statements of intent.
However, given his record and background, we must also at the Federal level, at the States level, and clear down to the counties and towns, put in place people who will absolutely in any area of their influence, hold him to them.
If we do, I believe he will have to keep these commitments which are altogether different than what he did in Mass where the liberal State Legisalture had a hammer lock majority on every decsion and appointment he made.
If we are blessed by God in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ through the Holy Ghost, in answer to our prayers, to accomplish these things, I believe we can double down on 2010 here in 2012 and begin the turn around we all so desperately desire and work for...and make no mistake, we are going to have to all work, and work hard to make this possible.
But I believe it is possible and I am glad that FR will now be on the mend as a result of the actions and statements of the owner, Jim Robinson, so we can all take part at whatever level of that our conscience dictates we become involved. In this way we can go forward and uniteldy remain a force for good and agent of constitutional change in our society and nation.
God's speed to us all, and may He hear our prayers and answer them in His mercy to allow us to restore this Republic.
And if you find yourself having to contend with the iron fist of nationalized health care and punitive cap-and-trade regulations arrived at on a global scale with the authority and input of other nations (Romney SAID: "Any carbon plan has to be worldwide in scope. Let's have a worldwide solution, not an American one" at his CPAC speech in '08) -- IF you find yourself and America shackled by such tyranny advanced by THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, look in the mirror for the right person to blame.
You needn’t worry about Romney winning and destroying the conservative movement. Romney is a loser and he will lose.
And, I am going to help him.
