I am not voting for Romney under any circumstances. I do not care who you vote for, but please don’t attack people for refusing to vote for a leftist traitor RINO.
Then please -those who refuse to vote for Romney - don’t attack people who see that defeating Zero is job one, and only by uniting can we do that.
The attacking has gone both ways between ABO and FUMR camps. I am not attacking the FUMR camp at all and never have. I respect the right of conscience of every citizen in making their vote.
The circular firing squad attacking of FReepers by FReepers, including JimRob himself, is requested to be suspended with a TRUCE being declared by JimRob at the linked thread. Some FReepers on this thread appear NOT to have read JR's TRUCE declaration, yet.
To me, respecting the conscience of fellow FReepers includes NOT declaring my own ABO view to be the only Biblical view and NOT declaring the voting intentions of another FReeper to be a vote “for evil.”
I will vote for the candidate who will do the LEAST DAMAGE to what is left of my precious Republic!
I am voting AGAINST the ineligible Manchurian Marxist.
God will ultimately be the judge my vote, not fellow FReepers.
On this thread, I am inviting fellow ABO FReepers in particular to return to posting FReely on FR, as allowed now by JR, and also to return to DONATING.
Already the thread is getting hijacked into a religious flame war over whose vote and whose religion is most righteous. I intended this thread to be about bringing back ABO FReepers and getting DONATIONS up to include the needed equipment so that we all, both ABO and FUMR FReepers, can have the BEST Free Republic platform for this campaign.
Please take a moment today to consider making or increasing your DONATION to FR and consider going monthly! Please?
I fully understand your position. When it became obvious that Romney was going to be the GOP candidate my opinion was I’d rather have my enemy in front of me, where I know what he is going to do so I can prepare for it - instead of having my enemy behind me, stabbing me in the back every other day. If we can not change the tide with someone as despicable as Obama in the White House then when will we? When we have a less reprehensible Democrat in office?
After much thought and reflection, I still feel this way but I also understand that not voting or voting 2nd party or worse, voting for Obama assures the destruction of this country.
I will not continue helping Obama and progressives destroy all that works, is good, patriotic and exceptional about the United States.
I will also not slam those who would rather spit nails than cast a vote for Romney - I understand this, fully.
In the end though, I know when I’m standing in the voting booth, I will end up voting for Romney; not because I support him, agree with him, or believe his record is that much better or different than the “wons”. I have to consider Supreme Court picks, I have to consider coat-tails, I have to consider Romney if nothing else, understands capitalism and why it is above and beyond the most successful economic policy that has every existed and ever will.
Yes, I’ll hold my nose, choke down the vomit and circle the bubble in for Romney. I can only pray he brings in other Republicans into the Senate allowing us to take it. I pray his coat-tails will be big enough so we keep the House. I pray his supreme court picks will not include such vulgar, disgusting, anti-American jurists as Kagen and Sotomayor (who, admittingly has surprised me).
If nothing else, I will know I have not help put Obama into office for four more years - and in the end, that would be worse for this nation than anything a huge RINO like Romney could or would do to this nation.
That a truce has been called on FR, finally, is good. Face facts people Romney, whether we like it or not, is the candidate. We either have four more years of Obama or him. Those are our choice.
Nobody says we have to get on the Romney bandwagon and shouts his praises from the rooftops. Nobody is saying we have to even like the guy (I don’t), nobody says we can’t debate where his weaknesses are. Simply put, we either come together, not in support of Romney, but as Conservatives and make sure we do all we can to remove Obama and his fellow progressives out of office AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.
FR is one way of doing this - it also allows us to pass along other ways of helping accomplish this goal.
This is it people, we have four years to turn our country back into the United States or get ready to surrender or go to war (figuratively not literally). I refuse to surrender.
Can you believe it!...the poster announces Jim’s truce then in the same breath spews their insults. Sounds like they are still thinking this is all about them.
I feel the same way. I just don’t know what to do-—Down here in Sunny Florida, you can’t abstain on any part of the ballot. You have to vote for someone, and I’m not real clear on the write-in rules. I certainly don’t want to miss my chance to send that commie pig Bill Nelson packing.
This sucks. I hate being put in this situation.
