Where Have the Conservatives & Evangelicals Gone?

"Where, oh where has my lovely, wonderful Tina gone," a perplexed Ike Turner wondered.

The main problem is, when you look at their history, you can’t tell the difference between Hussein and Romney... this is the same scenario that happened with McCain.

True conservatives simply aren’t going to “hold their nose” and vote for a liberal, even if that helps Hussein.

"Call them Pharissees. Jesus called the Pharissees “white washed tombs full of dead mens bones”, “hypocrites” and also hell bound. Food for thought."
That is totally out of context...
How about this one?:

1Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

~Romans 13:1-7

Kinda convicting isn't it?
This is why I feel comfortable voting for whomever I please. Mitt Romney is NOT my candidate.

You mean Obama.

A vote for anyone but Romney is tantamount to a vote for Zero.

The math and the numbers don’t lie, so spare me your sanctimony.

Why doesn't Romney hold any responsibility in this?

In the eyes of his more... ummmmmmmmmm... excitable adherents and apologists hereabouts, Mittens is much like a cow wandering placidly through the streets of downtown Cairo: immune to any/all criticism and/or impediment by divine principle, if not an object of abject veneration outright.

The cow is holy. The cow is perfect. If the cow, for whatever reason(s) -- by whatever unguessable confluence of events, in the course of its dull, plodding amblings -- doesn't end up wherever the hell it was it wanted to go to in the first place: that's your fault, buddy, not the cow's.

Never, ever, EVER the sacred, wondrous cow's. ;)

Your point is that you’re complicit in the destruction of our country and surrender to Sharia.

The Libertarians that really run the Republican Party are ashamed of conservatives.

The irony is that the leaked video of Romney has done more to appeal to conservatives than anything this guy has said on the stump.

They were told they weren't wanted or needed by the GOP, so we went elsewhere.

Bingo!

We will however be roundly criticized for the failure of yet another inside the beltway mushy RINO getting whacked again. Most of us will in the end vote for the Republican candidate, but d@mned if we will sing his praises.

Where I live it won't matter, but any states that are marginal we would be stupid to write in a protest vote. Now is the time to voice our discontent because it will be the only opportunity we have to influence the next administration.

Romney isn’t a Muslim, a traitor, a wannabe dictator, and he really loves America.

He doesn’t eat dogs, either.

some who are so self righteous and sanctimonious that they refuse to support any one who's not as ideologically pure as themselves.

This is why you moron.

Fine and Obama is not mine, nor is Obama appointed by God. He is also constitutionally illegitmate thus nulling and voiding any authority he has. Romans 13:1-7 was also written at a time when oriental despostism was the rule of the time. The concept of a free society, the rule of law and democratic republic conceived by Christians inspired by God came several hundred years later which was even beyond St. Paul’s knowledge and experience.

Sic Semper Tyrannis, baby!(Resistance to Tyrants is obedient to God) If you have a reasonable alternative to this marxist your stubborness makes you a blasted fool and an enabler of evil.

We have a REPRESENTATIVE republic. If you continue to vote for someone because “he’s not as bad as the other guy” you will never be truly represented.

I'm going to borrow this, if you don't mind. Eloquently stated.
