This morning I authored a Vanity Post declaring that under no circumstance would I vote for Romney.
Even though I am a lifelong Republican and have NEVER voted for a Democrat in my 60+ years, I am finished with the biased liberal media (including Fox) and the Republican establishment selecting my (losing) candidate. Here are some of my reasons:
In 1976, a sitting MODERATE Republican president named Gerald R. Ford ran against a two-bit peanut farming liberal Georgia governor and LOST.
1n 1992, a sitting MODERATE Republican president named George Bush ran against a liberal Arkansas governor with a history of raping and abusing women and LOST.
In 1996 a sitting MODERATE US Republican senator named Robert Dole ran against a sitting liberal president named William (stained blue dress) Clinton who was later impeached and disbarred and LOST.
In 2008, a long-term sitting MODERATE US Republican senator named John McCain ran against a do-nothing jerk US Senator from Illinois whose sole qualifying credential was as a community organizer for ACORN and student of Saul Alinsky and LOST.
And now in 2012, the Republican Party insiders, along with the liberal press are trying to once again pick our candidate - a MODERATE Massachusetts Governor who introduced socialized medicine to his State and guess what my friends...
I could say that we need to learn to STOP voting for state supremacists, no what the party affiliation.
But it’s a little too late for that, I fear. Now, there’s a butcher’s bill to be paid.

We lose either way.
You aren’t the only one who has HAD IT. I’ll be 60 this year and the only presidential candidate I didn’t hold my nose while voting for was Ronald Reagan. I wore a Goldwater button in 1964, but I was 12 years old.
LOL, yep!
If Mittens is the candidate, Ubanga will be toasting himself.
And I will be hunkered down, doing what I can to protect my family while the ignorant chattering class goes out and votes for Obamney.
I will not be with them.
If you always do what you always did the way you always done it, you will always get what you always got.....................
In 1976, Republicans were being punished for Nixon and Ford’s pardon of Nixon. The Democrats could have put up a weak leader with poor ideas and still win, wait, they did do that.
In 1992, there was a populist little bugger from Texas with big ears named Perot who screwed things up. Not that Bush was perfect, but he did give us Clarence Thomas, a great Supreme pick.
In 1996, war hero Bob Dole, who literally gave his right arm for the country, took one on the chin for the Republicans because nobody was going to beat Clinton that year.
This is not to endorse Romney. It’s just pointing out additional information lacking in your original post.
I would prefer to see Wisconsin Governor Walker or Wisconsin Representaive Ryan in the race, but you can’t always get what you want.
NO to Romney, now and in the future. The GOP can just die for all I care now. Burn the republican party to the ground and stir up the ashes. It is cancer, desperately in need of surgical removal and thrown into the biohazard waste bin.
I’m in my early 30’s and have NEVER had a candidate with some real balls to vote for as president.
I remember in High School seeing Dole in the Debates sound like a complete coot, barely able to keep awake.
W barely won in 2000, and that whole aftermath was a stressful nightmare for me. In 2004 still barely won. No election night victory.
2008 we nominate McCain....McCain?????? Why? Because he was in Vietnam? What a waste!
I’m sick of these elections being wastes with barely victories and jokes for nominees that couldn’t stand up to a beam of sunlight.
But here we are AGAIN! A sizable chunk of the electorate wanting to go again with Mitt based on NOTHING they can articulate! Frigging idiots!
Whatever. Obama wins anyway if Mitt is the nominee.
(And with a supreme LoserMan at that!)
Yup. Talk about forced feeding...and stampeding a loser into the top-ranks!
Romney is 0-for-17 in races away from his home turf! A complete loser! He won't be able to carry much beyond his home turf of New England, Michigan (where his daddy was gov), and Western Mormon states!
See for details: 'Mr. Electability?' SuperLoserMan Mitt not viable candidate...0-17 in 'road' races [Vanity]
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
I just heard a radio ad for Newt
good they need to be on here
TN has early voting starting Jan 15...
Using your example, a lot of Republicans did refuse to vote for moderate candidates. That’s why the Democrats won. I think we should extend that practice to include Republicans who won’t downsize government, even if they are for lower taxes. I’m also for boycotting Republicans who bash cultural conservatives and Christians. No telling who we will get, Obama, Gore, Kerry, maybe Barney Frank’s lover. At least we won’t get unsuitable Republicans.
And this isn't "breaking news" or news of any kind.
I would vote for PEREZ Hilton over Barack Obama.
So if Willard gets the nomination, I'm voting for him.
Of course, he's not going to get the nomination.
a non-vote is a vote for Obama.
As Rush said,,,, Obama is a Marxist.
Newt and Mitt aren’t Marxists.....
We can thank all of those who don’t vote for letting
Obama win again.
