Romney and Obama are two sides of the same coin. Sleeze begets sleeze and I’m disappointed that Romney’s character seems to not matter to people like you.
Romney....proving a majority of the GOP voters will vote for ANYTHING with an R behind it. Even if it’s a pro-gun control, pro-socialized healthcare, pro-mandate, pro-access to $50 abortions, pro government bailout, pro cap & trade, pro global warming, coreless candidate.
I’m guessing the same guys who adamantly defend Romney, would also tell us how Bloomberg’s soda ban really isn’t that big of a deal since its a city action, and not a federal one, if he were the chosen nominee. Nothing disgusts me more than the expediency of those trying to justify the disgusting actions of others.
I can respect the fact that Romney may be slightly better than Obama, but call a spade a spade. He is a socialist gun grabbing turd, that might be slightly better than the socialist gun grabbing turd that’s in office.
My take is that Romney would be better than Zero in the short term, but is definitely worse for conservatism in the long run. In my mind killing the conservative brand and moving the GOP even further to the left may be even more damaging for our country in the long run than anything Zero can accomplish in the next four years.
If you can vote for him, go ahead, I won’t think less of anyone...my intent is not to discourage if you are feel differently from me. I’m just not sure i can push my principles aside.
Jimbo123 that rant wasn’t directed at you....it just came out as I started my response.
Think about your statement. Think about what Obama has done since elected. Think about 4 more years of Obama.
We are where are with Romney; he is no one’s pick here. A viable conservative was not a choice we had to pick from this time.
But we have an election coming with 2 choices.
You have to be totally out of touch with reality to let Obama get one more vote than he should.
My analogy is of a airliner. Our country is the airliner. In 2008 it was flying through a really nasty storm; one of the engines knocked out and some other systems were damaged. But it was flying straight and level and was making it's way to smoother air.
All of a sudden in November 2008 a bunch of terrorists knocked down the cockpit door. They eliminated the cockpit crew and took over the controls. They now have the airliner in a steep dive; time is running out.
There are passengers who have figured out what is happening and they want control of the airliner back. They aren't Navy SEALS or some other elite well qualified group. But they are determined and they are all that is there.
Should they not try get control back just because they aren't perfect?
People like me live in reality - Romney may suck in oh-so many ways, but he's not nearly as toxic as Obama. If you want to be a martyr, have fun and go out with a bang by getting Obama re-elected. It would be nice if you could restrict your martyrdom to yourselves instead of going "suicide bomber" and taking the rest of us out with you though.
