Free Republic is suffering from an ideological divide between those who understand that Romney and Obama will be on the same side in the coming civil and those who are oblivious and imagine that this is just another election.

Nope.

FINF has the arguments summed up nicely.

I will vote for Mittens even if he is proven to worship Satan and each Puppies (That was the other guy?) Maybe we need a satan worshiper rather than a Communist Islamic Progressive.

Ave Satanas!

It either escapes the consciousness of most here, or it’s cognitive dissonance that no matter who wins in November, Conservatism is toast.

The GOP-e Ruling Class sold us out to ensure this result. They made a Faustian bargain with the Marxist Devil because they hate Conservatives as much as Obama does. The tag-team destruction of Conservatives from Palin on down by BOTH Romney and Obama’s propaganda media more than bears that out.

If Obama wins, Principled Conservatives will be blamed for Romney’s loss by every moderate out there. And none of us are blind to what Obama will attempt to do next given the history of Marxist regimes. That inevitability was already put into motion and the GOP-e has been willing to go along with it since January 2009.

If Romney wins, Conservatives lose permanently, because everything Obama has already done, becomes institutionalized and the GOP-e will appropriate ‘fundamental transformation’ for itself to manage. Conservatives will become completely irrelevant in future politics because Romney will have redefined Conservatism as being Socialist but not Marxist.

We’ve already lost, just as Jim Robinson said (AND HE DID NOT ENDORSE ROMNEY) and doing a repeat of 2008 and expecting a different result is pure insanity.

We have to think a lot differently than doing the same old if we want to survive what is coming.

This whole deal reminds me of the Jews in Europe in the late 30’s and 40’s who absolutely REFUSED to allow themselves to understand that they were going to be exterminated. Even when they were forced into Ghettos, and then even loaded onto boxcars for deathcamps, they refused to believe it. “It is some mistake” they told themselves. Being sold out to the Nazis by even family and friends for a mere promise of bread or out of fear for their own skins was rampant. They refused to believe even that could happen. Survivors have testified many of them would not believe the rumors that the showers were gas chambers. It was just too horrific for the mind to wrap itself around.

Apparently we don’t want to acknowledge what time it is either, so going back to doing what is routine and comfortable in vain hope or out of abject fear is better than facing the truth of where we are.

Reminds me of the woman in the 1982 movie “The Day After” who continues to make the beds and do her household chores after the missiles were flying and cities were about to be vaporized. She even fights her own husband to cling to her need for ‘normalcy’.

That is why the vitriol against anyone who says they are not going to vote for Romney. Out of their cowardly fear, they will insist that not voting for Romney is a vote FOR Obama. We even witness here on this very thread that they will be militant about it. They will call you a traitor. They will say you support Obama. They will accuse you of being an Obama shill or ‘agent’ sent to sow discord.

The meme is, Vote for Romney OR ELSE - YOU will be responsible for what Obama does. So much for liberty, even among those who claim to be Conservative.

And now we know how it is that a climate of fear is established that herds an entire people into seig heiling and stormtrooping a minority of Socialist radicals.

Oh for heaven’s sake, you are quoting the Jews under Nazism and you should be talking to the Communists. The people who lived under the Soviets are terrified of Obama. Talk to them.

Last time people puffed up their chests and screamed “I won’t vote for McCain” we got Obama. You can’t change the GOP if the Republic falls. You can predict what would have happened with McCain but you KNOW what happened with Obama.

I generally agree except that one fact will be evident to dismiss the establishments claim: When every Tea Party candidates running wins by 25% more votes than Romney gets in their district, the new fact that we DID NOT Stay Home but showed up and SKIPPED their trap at the top of the ballot will be the proof. They will then know we no longer play that game and even Obama wasn’t scary enough. They will then either come to OUR table or forever have NO seat at any table.

Nazism and Communism are offspring of the same ism, of which Romney's record is no different than Obama's.

I have in-laws who grew up under Hitler. They remember how the Nazis infiltrated every single party and brought them into alignment with the Nazi Ideology. They even remember priests in church preaching Hitler instead of Christ.

I don't see the GOP-e as any different in ideology than Obama, they want the piece of the big pie Socialism and the Marxist have appropriated from all of us.

Last time people puffed up their chests and screamed “I won’t vote for McCain” we got Obama.

That's pure crap and I won't accept it. We came out and voted in droves for Palin, and it still wasn't enough. When this November becomes a repeat of 2008, you can stuff the stupid notion that we Conservatives who refuse to vote for Romney are to blame for another Obama win up your hind end.

I won't accept the blame.

The blame falls on the heads of the Gop-e Ruling Class who foisted another Socialist liberal on us. When two Socialists are running, the greater Socialist is going to win, thems just facts, and history.

Between Romney and Obama, it's not a choice, it's a trap.

I am a Christian and a patriot, and—if he continues to campaign against abortion, same-sex marriage, and Obamacare—I will vote for Mitt Romney.

A) He won't do away with ObamaCare, even if he has the power to do so. He thinks he can do socialism better than Obama. The key Romney Republican phrase to watch for is "repeal and replace." The truth is right there behind the smokescreen. Romney's role, if elected, is to consolidate Obama's socialist gains, not to reverse them.

B) Among his biggest funders, to the tune of millions of dollars, are folks who have funded the drive for sodomite fake marriage to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. He has also had the unflagging support of every pro-sodomy hack in the formerly grand old party throughout this election cycle. Just what do they know that you don't know? His appointment of an openly homosexual supporter of "gay marriage" doesn't give you any clues? His equation this past week of "sexual orientation" with race and ethnicity doesn't tip you off?

C) If you peel away one layer of lies from Romney's current "position" vis a vis baby murder you see that Romney hasn't changed at all. He is still a judicial supremacist. He thinks the courts make law. In other words his primary position is in full support of the abortion-on-demand status quo. Secondly, he believes unalienable rights, including the right to life, can be decided by a democratic vote. Lastly, to make sure that he will never ever under any circumstances have to lift one finger to stop the abortion holocaust in America, he has adopted the Gerald R. Ford, Ron Paul, Stephen A. Douglas democrat pro-choice for states stance.

Quit fooling yourself.

Act in faith, not out of fear.

I am a Gulf War I era veteran. Have you served?

Pray tell (as you want to frame your argument in terms of Christianity, pun applies) what does one having served have to do with one's opinion or "Patriotism?"

YES I'M SCREAMING (doubly so by CAPPING AND BOLDING) and screaming mad at your madness.

BTW, thank you for your service, but as I also served (18 months in Nam) I guess I get equal time and my "Patriotism" will not be questioned?"

Thus I throw this up to you: When I took the oath of enlistment ("I, (NAME), DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR (OR AFFIRM) THAT I WILL SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC; THAT I WILL BEAR TRUE FAITH AND ALLEGIANCE TO THE SAME; AND THAT I WILL OBEY THE ORDERS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE ORDERS OF THE OFFICERS APPOINTED OVER ME, ACCORDING TO REGULATIONS AND THE UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE. SO HELP ME GOD." ) I considered it a solemn pledge FOR LIFE and not simply for the 8 years I served.

Was that the same for you?

If so, HOW can you possibly NOT oppose the (SELF-ADMITTED and PROVEN) "Domestic Enemy" who presently occupies the Oval Office; has shown a willingness to appease/defend/support "Foreign Enemies" (ISLAMIC JIHADISTS) as well as working diligently to DESTROY our Great Republic.....

...and NOT do everything humanly possible to ensure he does not get a chance to complete his Marxist/Commie/Islamic agenda which no doubt he will if re-elected....

...even if that means compromising your so called "ethics" and "morals" by if not supporting and voting for Mittens (your choice and right)....

....at least NOT encouraging others to do the same, KNOWING the outcome will be disastrous for Amerika, yet apparently, no giving a damn about the consequences?

HOW can one possibly equate Mitt's moderate/liberal record (as bad as it admittedly is) with Dear Leader's proven one?

Your are putting a lot of stock in our retaining control of the house and even long shot odds of taking the Senate.

Be that as it may, based upon the FASCIST, Neo-Commie's proclivities to ignore the Constitution, Congress and even the SCOTUS, do you think for one moment a Republican-Controlled Congress will stop him for "RULING" by fiat, diktakes and Executive Orders?

WHO WILL STOP HIM?

The wuss RINO's (such as the Weeper of the House, Bone-er or Mitch--"Afraid of his own shadow and RINO extraordinaire"--McConnell?) or maybe the Supreme Court?

Yeah, right!

I put it all on the line to defend my country and love it too much to see it destroyed and I'll crawl over broken glass to vote for anyone who will oppose (and hopefully prevail, thereby removing this "threat") in November;....

....it is either that or I foresee having to put it all on the line again (LITERALLY) in fighting to save our Republic if O'Bummer is re-elected, and though I'm willing and able if push comes to shove, I'm getting a little long in the tooth to want to consider that option.

Do as you will or your conscience dictates; if you have a "death wish" be my guest and don't vote, but PLEASE refrain from using Christianity, Patriotism and phony "maybe and perhaps" scenarios we "might" expect to experience under an Romney Administration based upon his past record.

Governing a State is different than governing a Country

As bad as Boosh was, and as big a RINO as he was, and as much as I hated many of the policies and programs he advanced and supported, he NEVER set out to DESTROY the United States and I am CONVINCED, neither would Romney.

CAN YOU SAY THE SAME FOR BARRY, BARACK, HUSSEIN, SOETORO, OBAMA?

Case closed: Class dismissed!!!

One of the most truthfully incisive phrases ever published on this website.

He's not campaign against anything. But he'll say anything to get your vote.

With respect, nmmom, that you attribute that kind of petty, small motivation to folks who rejected McCain, exhibits the very kind of contempt YOU yourself would face if, God forbid, Romney wins.

I've been accused of rejecting Romney because of "rage." The accusation is wrong: I reject Romney because of REASON.

>>The accusation is wrong: I reject Romney because of REASON. <<

That would stand if you were given the choice of Romney against a liberal.

This fight is not liberalism, it’s Marxism. Including Marxist Supreme Court Justices who will kill your dreams forever.

I love my children enough to make my time now a bit uncomfortable. Like a poster upthread said, Romney is like a root canal. Awful but needed. Because if you let Obama fester, you lose the whole jaw.
