There, I fixed it.
I didn’t think you were, Glock. (Me neither. But I hate it that women act against our own self-interest? Even conservative women. I’d have appreciated it if they hadn’t dragged the rest of us into all this feminism & “equality” carp. If they wanted it as an option, fine, but this is imposed on everyone & affects everyone, profoundly. The “unintended consequences” are very destructive).
Ugh. Isn’t that remarkable? They howl about the time bombs Clinton left behind (NAFTA, GATT, Glass-Steagall, etc), but continue to idolize him.
I have come to the conclusion that the problem with liberals is either profound cognitive dissonance or delusion.
You Obama-lovers can’t hide the truth.
It is not my opinion that Democrats have thrived electorally. It is a fact. Right of center nations do not elect The Disaster. In fact, he would not have gotten 30% of the vote in a Right of center nation.
Good point. It takes more effort to physically show up at an event. Voting with one’s feet is meaningful voting.
Moreover, as someone on another site mentioned, “not everyone polled actually votes... and most people including myself just let the phone ring when a pollster calls.”
I’m wondering about the great silent mass of people out there who are exhausted and worried about their jobs, working late, and coming home tired and preoccupied. These people are more likely to let that phone ring and instead turn to a book or the Internet. They are less likely to be in a mood to gab — and, as someone else pointed out, they are aware of the possibility of the pollster taking note of their (unfavorable) opinion and linking it to their address.
Any one with a brain the size of a mustard seed realizes that all of these polls are skewed towards the liberal side. Ever since the 1980 elections, all the polls were skewed towards the liberal voters. Yet, when the elections were held, we win. Then all these NEWS PUNDITS are beside themselves and start making every excuse they can think off. So, my advise to every body, don’t believe in any of these skewed polls.
Regardless of favoritism I say the polls should be banned prior to an election.
Too easily used to manipulate votes.
The truth is The Disaster must be removed from the White House. Help him stay if you please but don’t pretend the nation will profit by leaving him there.
Nothing worse than you phoney conservatives who help the Left at every opportunity.
I don't want to help him stay - I want to help the GOP-e leave.
but don’t pretend the nation will profit by leaving him there.
Never did, never will.

Mittens' record is far to the left of every real conservative.
Romney is and always has been a moderate Right politician.
But as an alternative to The Disaster he is by FAR preferable. No one more conservative could win the votes for the nomination. Whether he is my choice or your choice is irrelevant to the major problem, The Disaster.
Romney is Eligible, unlike The Disaster, and IS a Natural Born Citizen unlike The Disaster.
He does NOT hate America and all it has stood for UNLIKE The Disaster.
He has actually WORKED at real jobs, unlike The Disaster, and understands how the economy works. The Disaster has apparently never (cannot be proven to have) taken an Economics course.
He is NOT a Communist, unlike The Disaster.
You need to understand the difference between Tactics and Strategy. Our long term strategy does not change with an alliance (or a cease-fire) with Romney.
We had to ally with Stalin to win WWII because there was a BIGGER and more dangerous enemy facing the nation at that time. This election is under a similar compulsion. The Disaster MUST be removed for the good of the nation. And there is only ONE way to do that legally.
Really? What in his record supports your claim? From what I know, Jim Robinson had it right when he called Romney a "liberal progressive abortion/homosexual pushing Republican."
I don’t operate out of wild rhetoric but can view matters without using an ideological lens. On the political spectrum Romney is a moderate. This is not out of bounds for this nation which is in NO way “conservative” as the voting clearly shows.
It does no good to put up candidates which only represent the most extreme 10% of the electorate. That might work for the Democrats but the GOP would be attacked by almost every media outlet should it do so.
If you cannot win the nomination by the GOP you could not have won the election.
The point is The Disaster must be defeated.
Really? What in his record supports your claim?
No evidence from his record, I see.

Yeah, JimRob and I are a couple of wildly rhetorical ideologues.
I am not interested in regurgitating Romney’s “record” any more than I have. No one is pretending that he is an ideal candidate but he is not The Disaster. That alone is sufficient reason to vote for him.
I notice you ignore the real point: we can choose to help Romney win or help The Disaster win. There are no others. Your choice is noted.
Most of us here are going to work AGAINST The Disaster.
Some people seem to be pretending he is not a liberal.

A third-party vote doesn't help 0bama any more or less than Mittens. I choose to let the GOP-e know I'm off the plantation.
Naturally the fanatics can’t understand why their chosen candidates get NOWHERE and are consumed with irrational rage when they, inevitably, are crushed by those with a chance to win.
They then lash out with all manner of false statements “Romney is a Liberal”, “Romney is a Socialist”, “Romney is a Marxist”, “Romney is an alien from the planet Venus”.
Every vote that does not go to Romney is de facto support for The Disaster. It does not matter what you pretend you are doing.
Are you under the impression that we have a parliamentary system where third, fourth, fifth.... parties can actually attain and wield power?
I have no illusions that the Constitution Party candidate is going to win. Which part of "I choose to let the GOP-e know I'm off the plantation" did you not understand?

From what I know, Jim Robinson had it right when he called Romney a "liberal progressive abortion/homosexual pushing Republican." I guess Jim is actually just an irrational fanatic.
Every vote that does not go to Romney is de facto support for The Disaster.
That's no more true than: Every vote that does not go to The Disaster is de facto support for Romney.
