“I will not vote for Romney, period”
Then don’t be surprised or upset when Obama wins! Other than Ron Paul he’s my least favorite. If more people would have held their noses and voted for McCain like I had to do then we wouldn’t have Obama!
The mantra has to be Anyone But Obama!
“If more people would have held their noses and voted for McCain like I had to do then we wouldn’t have Obama”
But, we’d have McCain, and a Democrat congress, and maybe a slightly slower speed of the handbasket, but no change in direction.
After the 2006 fiasco, Rush said he was through carrying the water for the GOP. That’ll be tested if the GOP nominates Romney. I voted for McCain, or rather against Obama, but I’m finished carrying the water for the GOP.
I should have learned the lesson years ago, when the local Republicans closed ranks against conservatives, and sometimes joined with Dems in doing so. but, I thought the Dems were worse, and so I supported the Grand Old Party. But no more. From now on, they’ll have to earn my support.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
Republican presidential candidates for whom members of the party's conservative base must hold their noses while voting never win. Think Landon, Dewey, the 1960 version of Nixon, Ford, and McCain.
IF Romney were to win the nomination, the problem he faces is not only those conservatives who’d refuse to vote for him, but the ground troops. IF he wins the nomination, I will vote for him in November. I hope it doesn’t come to that. BUT, I’ve long been a local GOP ‘ground troop’ and will not expend my time on any GOTV efforts this go-round if Romney is heading the ticket.
