We wont be supporting the socialist Romney.

Toss up question:

Which is more dangerous -- a 2nd term Obama or a 1st term Romney?

==

[My view is that we, as a Nation, may never recover from an Obama 2nd term. The feckless GOP failed to challenge him on too many issues during his 1st term.]

I think that is one of the reason's Jim made this a non-Romney location. He could see the overall picture and the overall picture showed that some of the Romney supporters were more interested in dividing the rest of us....keeping us from “uniting around one person” then in supporting their candidate.......

Years ago threw away my vote and voted for Perot.... we got Clinton. Because of Clinton's moral behavior and the “D” national party support of him, the switch began: the totally democrat county I moved to thirty years ago elected 100% republicans in the 2010 election. Request for ballot in this primary was 2:1 in favor of the “R”.

From not being able to field a candidate for public office in the 70—80s to having a full slate, with choices for the “R” ballot can be initially traced back to Clinton's election and culminated with BO’s win in IN.

Plus, even if they don’t get reelected they still get fantastic pensions etc.

You forgot the part about how they exit a millionaire several times over.

Well, that's the question, all right.

Fortunately, we have almost six months to figure it out.

2nd term Obama in the short run for sure.

The electorate is fickle and we have long term issues. By the end of term 2, we’re dead or near dead, but, we can gamble that in four years, the RINOS are amputated or the Tea Party supersedes the RNC, which will be less likely with a RINO president Romney.

Either choice is a gamble. I think the election will be close, but I think 15percent would have to vote third party before a lasting momentum could be established, or thereabouts, so that the MSM could not sweep it away.

Will a Republican congress keep BO at bay? Well, with Soros electing all the state Secretaries of State, and other voter fraud, we could lose the house. Why just steal the Presidency.

I have two payers, but only one I share, where I ask for a brokered convention.

I don’t feel sorry for him. He has his savings from his income (if any), his pension, free health care for life, whatever deals he made with whomever. He has his “legacy” he can trade in on a book deal or speaking tour. No, Dick sat in DC and got fat and smiley while and, as years went by, ignored those of us who voted for him ONLY because the options were worse.

The premise of the question is wrong.

The question you should be asking yourself is how do we start curb stomping the socialist pricks? Not how fast do we want to drive over the cliff?

We have played this game for decades now...
“most important election blah blah blah”
“cant survive, blah blah blah”
“just vote for OUR socialist and it will be a first step blah blah blah”

I dont know about you but ive taken that broken ass record and smashed it to pieces.

How do we win back our freedom? By fighting the M’er F’ers like we GD mean it. That means Taking the F’ers out in our own party first. NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THIS.

STEP 1: Take the M’er F’ing Socialists in your own F’ing party out.
STEP 2: Take out the socialist bastards in the states. (dont need all of them)
STEP 3: Take out the Socialist bastards in the fedgov.

Step 2 and 3 may be able to proceed concurrently but the state will take priority to the fedgov simply because we can do more damage to the socialist infrastructure via the state. Also, once we have the states we can get they are the primary weapon against the socialists in the fedgov.

Say what you want, but the plan to keep supporting increasingly leftist GOP candidates is a suicidal strategy thats been played out for decades. Keep drinking the Koolaid if you want, but Im DONE. Its time to start fighting these F’ers and there is NO better time than NOW.

The bottom line is that none of these people should be able to make a career out of public office. They act like they’re somehow entitled to be lifelong members of of the ‘elected elite’.

Bingo. The longer they're in there, the more they act that way. And the more they act that way, the more it grates on their consituents.

A brokered convention is the only chance the GOP has to avert this disaster. As long as they dont replace Robama with Hatch. or trent lott...

Either way though, the socialists in the GOP have got to go.

Yes, we need to have a national TeaParty Presidential candidate, but many social conservatives won’t back a Teaparty candidate because the teaparty won’t make social issues the center of their campaign.

How about this one:

Dear Republicans,
Stop voting like Democrats.
Sincerely,
The Voters.

You know he is.

Who is after HATCH, we need a shopping list. I have one, INHOFE of OK, that needs to be added to the list.

He likes EARMARKS and he has been up there way to long now. Coburn needs to watch his step. He and Inhofe play good cop, bad cop much of the time.

I am not defending Michelle Bachman’s decision to become a Swiss citizen but, if I had enough money to catch the eye of the “we want your money” Dems, I would probably be putting it somewhere where they couldn’t get their hands on it! How long will it be before they really DO come after our IRA’s and savings? Where the Libs are concerned, never say never.

First - voting for Perot was not ‘throwing away your vote.” You voted for the person you saw as the best candidate. The ones who “threw away their vote” were the fools who claimed they wanted Perot but the media had warned them that would be “throwing away their vote.” Second, Clinton was certainly no prize but, let’s be honest with ourselves, Bush #1 was certainly no conservative. What we had was Perot and two nearly identical candidates - one of them had an “R” behind his name but was shown to be no friend to conservatives. Bush I was the original Republican sell-out and we have been stuck with more of the same since that time.
