This one is all about the Beltway kingmakers, the pundits, the press, the fundraisers, the Powers That Be - that used to be an ironic phrase, didn't it? The K Street crowd. To vote Romney is to perpetuate that system; to vote otherwise is to hand it back to 0bama and his carpenter ants on the Constitutional framework. I'm as angry as you about it and for the very same reasons.
I'll wait. I said I would and I'm going to. Romney can show me a staff, he can commit to policies and win my vote despite what he clearly has been in the past. Because I don't have another choice. But if he doesn't do that, it really won't matter much which way I vote.
Much to go, much to go. Prayers and tears and a lot of shouting. God Bless America.
But, if you're just feeling trapped or if you're feeling crippled by fears of the future, then just turn those fears over to God. He can help you to overcome those fears and provide you with the strength to face a future without a President Romney. Trust God and you will find a way forward.
If you want a candidate that you can vote for without sacrificing your pride or self-respect, then consider Tom Hoefling. He's a straight shooter and you can count on him.
After November, after Romney is gone from the political scene, try to reconcile yourself with the conservative principles that you will once again need for success. And, remember that you can trust God. He will show you a better way.
God bless.
No, it's false.
The only way you can vote for soetoro is by marking "Obama" on your ballot. It is the ONLY way.
Any and every vote that is not for either Obama or Romney, contributes to a plurality. Not a single solitary one of those votes sways the balance of Obama vs. Romney -- the only votes that count in that race are the ones voting FOR Obama or Romney.
All those arguments about how the electoral college mucks it up are full of it. The bottom line: it comes down to how many votes a candidate gets,
The idea that if you don't vote for Romney it's a vote "for" Obama, is based solidly and solely in an entitlement mentality. It is materially false.
I'm voting for a plurality because historically, conservatives move forward with plurality presidents. They move backward with RINO presidents.
There's only ONE WAY to vote for Obama, and it isn't not voting for Romney. That is true.
Weird reply.
I asked (you say) if God is with you, how do you reconcile that with the fact Romney is pro abortion and pro homosexual?
Yet, you do not answer the inquiry you call me an idiot instead.
People go to heaven or hell by their own free will and He provides away to heaven, the choice is yours. God wants none to perish, He wants all to be with Him.
I do worry about people going to heaven as we all should, I want everyone to dwell in the Glory of God, don’t you?
The second question was simple: when you say Mormons love God as much as the rest of us which god as Mormonism teaches many gods.
Seriously, calm down. Simple questions or inquires.
I am not sure why you are bringing up Jews, but since its difficult to follow your train of thought here I am not surprised.
As a side note God does tell us in the New Testament to be aware of false prophets and teachings and to identify them so others will not be fooled. Also, to judge everything against the Word of God.
Because you like him or because you feel you must?
I recall that individual well.
Wasn't he out of Florida?
BTW, I had his number punched when he first started here.
Compromise over conservatism, party over patriotism, party over principal, fraud.
He's a real weasel.
Frankly, I’m surprised that Ryan agreed to run with Myth R.
Because I despise Obama with every fiber of my being.
That’s his moniker. Don’t know his name if it’s other (and this is no act).
Our founding fathers did not found the nation on hatred of religion! God is the only witness between good and bad and as much as have been proud of this site over the years, the rhetoric from so called Christians hurts me!
you may believe in this but I don't! I feel that God uses people to his good, regardless, and I am seeing a huge swell of support since Mitt introduced Ryan.. It is a phenomena! Mitt is not going to indoctrinate conservatives, we are to strong for that! but Mormons as a group are more than most people claiming to be conservative! I mean no harm but think about it..There are many black people that don't realize they are not demorats? But their pattern of voting is democrat regardless! Mormon's want what we want, you can take the doctrine and rip it apart, but in the end, they are not going to convey their religion on to us!!! JIM< I don't care for MItt either, I gave Newt $2000 my point is we are not going to fall into the mormon abyss, just because Mitt is the nominee! Give your smart freepers credit!!!You want to lose them to me? Fine. I had rather be here with you! But If you can't see the forrest for the trees then I will take them to the side where they can least hope for something better than Obama! Jim, I love you dearly, and I would never hurt you, if I thought you were right. That doesn't mean I don't understand your rationale, but in this time fo grave danger, it is not the time to jump over the cliff..My God is your God and my God tells me in my prayers to fight Obama!! AGain I love you and will give you a big hug when I see you as I know I will! But our oountry means more than our principles right noW I love you always! Tracy, R4B
“What I see here is not something Jesus would condon!”
So Jesus wants you to vote for a pathological liar to get rid of another pathological liar?
” know that doing God’s work doesn’t mean denying a Mormon, who God loves as much as you at the moment, until the day of reckoning, make a difference! “
If that’s what you believe, then you either do not know God or do not know Mormonism.
His MO was always about compromise over conservatism.
If I recall, he had his own little clique who followed him around. They headed for the tall grass when they found most were getting a belly full of party over principle politics.
I agree
Yo such rage. Some hit a button
That would make sense
You can come to Mississippi anytime! We’re always ignored, except to report alleged racist news or obesity news...LOL.
Thank you for standing up for your faith and your principles. The stand you have taken is an example that encourages others to do what is right.
This is my fourth election cycle on Free Republic. It never ceases to amaze me the number of republican hacks, RINOs and liberals who think they can come here and take over. When their attempts fail, they have hissy fits of jealousy and go run off to do whatever.
Thank you for Free Republic. I am constantly learning new things here. For me, this is the premier conservative website.
There was a thread the other day worrying that the “Fragile Sailboat” of the GOP was fighting the wind too hard. LOL
