Lately, the ERs pick the Rep. nominee and the Cs have to hold their nose and vote for them.
When the ER wins, he usually flames out due to his lack of conservatism, which opens the door for the DL to win the next election.
America keeps heading leftward as a result and you have bitches from these two parties (DL and ER) promising too much to too many, which is why we're where we are today.
*also Damned Liars
George Wallace won 5 states in 1968, splitting the DEMOCRAT vote and giving Nixon the win.
I don’t recall caring if you respect my opinion.
However, to put it bluntly: Romney IS Obama.
There is no practical difference.
Period.
“If obama is reelected due to a conservative third party candidate it is NOT the fault of the voters.”
The voters are those who elect our leaders. For far too long we have ALL been somewhat apathetic to the continuing increase of immorality, corruption and secularism within our own culture. We (yes, I’m speaking generally) continue to look for merely human solutions.
WE need to all grow up and take a part of the blame....and we need to seek solutions from above...FIRST.
“If my people who bear my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my presence and turn from their wicked ways, then I will listen from heaven and forgive their sins and restore their country.” II Chronicles 7:14
Without God, WE will not have good leaders. We will continue to make unwise choices as a nation.
With God, Obama can’t hurt us.
Without God, George Washington couldn’t save us.
Yes, that’s true. It can work to the benefit of the Republican party if a 3rd party pulls voters from the demonrat side.
However, that is not the issue.
The issue is whether it’s curtains time for the Republican Party.
If the RP can nominate Mitt Romney, then they are not a God-fearing, conservative party.
They will have shown themselves to be a liberal party no different than the Demonrat Party, and that renders them unsupportable by me.
Romney is Teddy Kennedy’s and John Kerry’s best friend.
Romney = Obama
Romney is a big government, pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, anti-gun, pro-government health care, pro-tax and spend liberal.
I will NOT vote for him in any capacity.
EVER!
I’m one who won’t bolt, no matter who wins the Republican nomination. America won’t endure another four years of obama, and that is all a third party offers.
So you had rather have a pro-abortionist Obama who also is destroying our nation? Don’t not vote, don’t write-in and don’t third party. Don’t help re-elect Obama. At least, Romney is not out to destroy us. I am not a Romney supporter and he is the last one on my list, other than Paul and Bachmann. But I would vote for any of them. If someone other than the current candidates, somehow, comes out of the GOP convention, I would support that person.
Don’t get me wrong I WILL NOT VOTE for Mittens BUT I DAMN SURE will NOT vote for ANY “3rd” “Party”! If Mittens is the “GOP” nomintee the I will leave the US President line item blank(unvoted) and just vote downticket.
Laura Ingraham alluded to some group with $22 million for a 3rd party candidate a couple weeks ago....it’s an Obama DREAM!!! (And likely financed by those financing Obama, also). I will vote for whomever we choose against Obama....ANYONE is better...but, I do fear that Destruction (of the USA) is coming, no matter WHICH candidate wins.
Not really. It depends who leads the ticket.
I suspect that if Rick Perry or Sarah Palin led the ticket that they could well win.
Even Trump would stand a chance. In his case, he would have the cash to make his opponents’ attacks less effective.
Just offering possibilities, but I think you get my point.
They are at best a protest vote.
It would be a sane move for the conservatives to unite in a 3rd party.
I’ll add this. If I can;t vote for the nominee, I’ll skip the president and vote downticket.
Amen!
“xzins” = “3rd Party Pimpage”
A very large protest vote does get attention. It shows how many voters you lost and where and if it would have made a difference if you had run a different candidate or supported a different policy.
There is also the possibility with such disaffection that the right candidate could actually win the election.
Finally, the only way to build a new party is to begin someplace.
