Finny - You do understand that every FReeper, even the MYTHical Romney “supporters”, would be thrilled if the Republicans somehow Nominated another Candidate at the Convention right? It isn't going to happen, but there is always a sliver of that hopey dopey changey magic that the Nation embraced in 2008.

There are those here who understand the Republican Primaries are over and we are down to two Presidential Candidates vying for the Office. They consider themselves Realists.

The Realists look at the situation in very simple terms, Obama must not win Reelection. If Romney is the alternative to Obama, which it appears he will be, he is the only avenue left to avoid four more years of the Obama invented Train Wreck we are experiencing on a daily basis.

Others here, you included, think that a protest Vote against both Candidates will shake up the Country and an Omnipotent Conservative Phoenix will rise from the ashes in 2016 to be elected in a landslide to save the Country from all things Progressive.

That is a noble goal, but it will never happen. The next Sotomayors and Kagans that Obama will put on the SCOTUS will insure our economic slavery is enshrined in the hollow document that used to be the Constitution. I cannot begin to imagine where we will be after another four years of The One.

Well, that's my opinion. I'm not arguing, and you can tell me to blow it out my behind, but that's how it looks to me.

If you actually consider yourself a realist, and truly understand the Cook County machine that has gone national, you would not be putting so much blind faith and hope in an election for the Executive that Conservatives have already lost.

We are already become a shell of what we once were as a nation, and that is due to the willingness of a religious and moral people to get along with and compromise biblical principles (and Constitutional ones too) with expedience and pragmatism for political assuagement.

In short, the church and the religious bought a lie - not to judge. That lie ultimately also transcends itself into refusing to acknowledge the truth in favor of smooth and easy things. To rest in what is comfortable and familiar. That nothing bad can happen because we're of God.

So we lost it, having it stolen and taken away right under our noses under the auspices of safety, compassion and fairness which the religious have traded for our once jealously guarded foundational principles.

It's how a once moral people can buy as virtue - the practice of choosing the lesser of two or more evils. Or better put, how a former Republic can espouse the virtues of choosing a Socialist rather than a MarxoFascist. Ultimately, they both lead to the same place, and principles have been discarded.

Oh, this is exactly how we lost the culture by the way. The fruits of this kind of reasoning and insistence in choosing less than what we should because that is what is served to us - is how we got into this mess to begin with.
