Amen...for the first time in 8 elections for POTUS I will sit it out or vote a third party if Mitt Romney is forced on us.
I will help conservatives in state and local as usual
I used to think folks here like tpaine and OWK and Mertz and Willie who always said this were nuts...and they were maybe ..lol...but I am now to the end of my tolerance for the GOP if they give us a pro abortion, pro gun control, pro homosexual agenda, stands for nothing candidate.
and I have been broken glass and a financial supporter like my daddy and his daddy going back even to Dewey and beyond
I remember the Goldwater yardsigns and my home is decorated with pics of my dad with Magnus and other notables like Fred etc...so this is not something I take lightly
But till this moment I never realized how unconservative so much of the GOP hierarchy and punditry actually are. They are just less liberal than the Dems and only pay token lip service to we who elect them. They are certainly not social conservatives as we know it.
The past 48 hours have been nothing short of an epiphany. We need to strike back and hard...fierce.
WOW! You guys were reading my mind!
This has been the most disgusting primary/caucus season I’ve ever seen. Romney’s folks are in their prime, and have some supposedly “conservative” recruits who have surprised me a great deal.
I held my nose and voted for Dole. I was so disgusted with Bush during his second term that I resigned from the Republican party. I swore that, during the last election when I voted for McCain, that would be the last time I would hold my nose and vote.
I will NOT hold my nose for them ever again.
They are on their own, as far as I’m concerned.
“tpaine and OWK and Mertz and Willie”
I tend to agree with you, except for Willie. Light rail is an expensive boondoggle, and Willie never, ever would agree with that. Good guy, though.
One more thing, voting for Romney is not much better than voting for Obama.
I am doing the same if Romney gets the nomination. Another freeper said, to the effect, let the chips fall where they may, when it comes to the point where we have no choice, it is God’s war. I truly believe the left is consolidating its lock on power through its almost total entrenchment in media and academia. Now we have the ultimate power play-both electoral options are of the left.
