“Republicans can step back from the precipice ~ there’s still time”
No there isn’t. The die has been cast.
And you have crossed the threshold into Obamabot territory. You may tell yourself that you are only a “conscientious objector”, for whatever reason you picked up from a blog, but just remember that traitors always claim the same thing.
What you need to do if you want the Republicans to win is get a candidate who can LEAD the party, not just cave in to Obama like your last RINO ~ McCain, or your RINO before him, Bob Dole, or your even earlier RINO, pappy Bush, or Gerald Ford, or the guy before him, Richard Nixon (who ran for President 3 times, but remember his loss), and before him Dewey, Willkie, Landon.
YOU are traitors. You keep running these RINOs and warmed over Leftwing Democrats, and losing elections we should have had IN THE BAG.
Romney is different from these other losers only in average room temperature ~ otherwise he's the same old same old.
