If one of those people on your list ends up replacing Romney on the Republican Ticket, I will give you a Dollar.

Unless you prefer a Donut of course.

The American Dream ended today, time to face Reality my FRiend. There are only two doors left, pick one...

Your voting record is an exact ditto to mine -- voting doggedly, faithfully Republican total ticket in primaries and presidentials -- except mine goes back to 1976, when Gerald Ford lost to Carter.

For this course of action, I have been called "stupid", "idiot", "crazy", "Mr. DUmmie" "DNC troll" by the wise, thoughtful, freedom loving people on FR. All today.

Me too, over the course of many days, and I've written hundreds of posts since 2008 trying to alert folks to the danger that Romney presents; in 2009-2011, a lot of these folks who are calling you names now were saying, "Ah, Romney is toast, don't worry about him." They were wrong and I was right then, and they are wrong and you and I are right now. But they absolutely refuse to ponder the consequences of a Romney win.

It is taboo. The only thing they will tolerate is Obama phobia and hysteria. They are blindly terrified of Obama's powerful medicine, big ju ju, all powerful Oz-like black magic, and they are scared silly, and too cowed to muster the courage to recognize that Obama would long ago have done what they scream we "couldn't survive!" if he actually had as much ju ju as they claim he does.

They call you these names because they are scared to death, frightened out of their skins, panicked into voting FOR a guy they know is bad, a guy who repels them in every gut level way, who has advanced ALL of the things they've been voting Republican all these years to oppose.

They are only seeing it through the rationale of what they're voting "against."

5th Gen Tex, I'm a 5th Gen Californian from a long line of Republicans, from the time when California was a solidly Republican state. I urge you with all my heart to VOTE in the presidential race and REGISTER your vote in the final tally. I am going to vote third party at the top of the ticket because I know that voting "against" Obama or Romney is impossible because a vote is ultimately and ONLY for something. I will be voting FOR a plurality from a split vote. A president in office where the majority voted against him is vulnerable, ala Clinton with his 43% plurality where fully 57% of Americans declared "Clinton, you STINK!" and where two years later he got bulldozed with the Republican Revolution. I doubt that would have happened if Clinton had gotten a majority or if Bush had been re-elected.

Come 2013, either way we are guaranteed an enemy in the White House -- voting third party is the only way we can weaken that enemy and put him on the defensive. I am praying for a plurality, and voting for it, too.

I really wish folks here would just get over the hysteria and start using their heads.

There is really nothing else to say, you nailed it.

Mr. RomneyCARE AUTHORED ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE.

Like GAY MARRIAGE, MR. RomneyCARE created it,
then got the GOPe to forget that, hoping the
entire American public has no memory, too.

WRONG.

What's His Name will repeal it as the crowning achievement of his first term. What's His name is my 4th choice but his name is on the handle of the toilet bowl I have to flush to get rid of Obama so that's that. At my age I've only voted FOR a candidate a few times. The norm is voting AGAINST the other guy so this is nothing new. Besides, this will all be meaningless as we will roll to a bigger win in November than we had in 2010. We will get the White House the Senate and more House seats and a much more conservative Congress.

“Yes, it's bad. It got bad in Carter's time too. It took a Conservative to change the course. And the stark contrast is what got the Conservative in. Reagan was not Carter-lite.”
_________________________________________

Are you really this stupid? Carter was inept; Obama has done epic destruction to our constitution and country. He's rang up 5 trillion in new debt (Not including ObamaCare!); he took over GM and Chrysler (read: gave them to the Unions); he basically opened Arizona's borders to an unlimited flood of illegals; he just had the SCOTUS tell us we will be served ObamaCare in the form of the biggest tax hike in World history. And you have the audacity to sit here and compare Obama to Carter? Are you F-ing serious? You must be an abject idiot!

The fact that knuckle heads like you have more outrage over Romney than Obama is unbelievable!

You Obama supporters are amazing to behold. The Democratic Underground eagerly awaits your membership.

Your name calling and ranting make it impossible for discussion.

Scream those who disagree with you off the square.

Go vote for the man who provided Obama the model to implement socialized medicine. The man who lead Obama by example on recognizing gay marriage.

Go vote for him. And feel good about it.
