OH no!
When the coyotes get into your chicken coop and destroy a lot of them; you do NOT decide to quit raising chickens!
You track them critters down and KILL them!
That would severely piss me off!
Half the PDSers here probably don’t realize half of that (at least I hope they’re working from ignorance).
You sure speak for ME with that post! If McCain had had a RINO running mate, my vote would have gone elsewhere, as it did in 2012 for the first time in 35 years of voting straight Republican ticket in every election -- for my mom, it was the first time in 60 years of voting straight R ticket. The Republican party left us with guys like McCain and Romney, and we are moving on to let them LOSE.
So; you, your mom, me and others on FR who would NOT vote for Romney; for whatever reason; are to blame for the fact that Obama won - according to a bunch of whiney accusers on FR.
You got that right! And the irony is that that kind of thinking -- vote for the "R" no matter what he espouses because to not be that afraid of the consequences (Obama, Clinton) is crazy! So voting out of fear year after year, decade after decade, got us to the point where McCain got the nom in 2008 and the only guy worse, Romney, got the nom in 2012!
The balance of people have figured out that the only way to reduce liberalism is to vote such that it loses. That's exactly what they did in 2008 and 2012.
The Democrat party is NOT the enemy. Liberalism is the enemy.
We must use our votes to defeat liberalism.
It is TIME NOW to consider the smartness of, in presidential elections, voting knowing specifically FOR the outcome of making sure that the winning candidate only musters a minority.
Minority plurality status puts him/her on defense and weak. It sure as hell weakened Clinton, who elected with 57% of the vote "against" him the first time, and with 51% of the vote "against" him the second, was first hit with the Republican Revolution and then impeached, if not convicted.
To defeat liberalism, Americans who love their freedom must undersatnd that in this scenario, a serious third-party presidential candidate to split the vote between the sides of the single liberal coin that is Democrat/Republican, if your candidate loses, at least whichever guy wins only has a plurality.
The price of that is of course that your own candidate would only win likewise, with a plurality, barring a miracle and they do happen!
