The Romney Problem
Shameless Vanity ^ | 3/11/2012 | Dick Bachert

Posted on 03/11/2012 11:35:23 AM PDT by Dick Bachert

An Internet friend responded to my recent email re. Romney's past tilts to portside by observing that we have no choice but to support him if he is the nominee. While I want Obozo to go away ASAP, as of this writing, it's not looking all that good.

My somewhat expanded reply follows.

The Obama smear machine will tear Romney to shreds. Here's the narrative:

MR's past and current positions are similar/identical to mine. You gonna vote for a rich, white pubbie over the first black president? A rich, white pubbie who was born with a mouth full of silver spoons who makes snap bets for 10K on TV and tells unemployed workers that his wife drives "...several Cadillacs..."? You gonna vote to send me away after I hiked your welfare benes? (Almost 50% of Americans are receiving those benes.) And the Dem's will make sure ALL those supporters will get to the polls and, along with millions of illegals and the departed, vote early and often. (It's the Chicago Way.)

And because the choice is between Obozo and Obozo lite, a lot of the less committed and uninformed otherwise conservative voters may sit it out.

We need a clear CHOICE. We don't need the establishment GOP favorite shoved down our throats by the same Beltway jerks who, according to Palin, REFUSED to allow her to expose Obozo's marxist past in '08. That situation is but more evidence of the truth of some gallows humor popular with fellow cynics that the Dems want socialism NOW while the pubbies are content to wait a few days. The bad news from '08 is that the GOP establishment has become impatient.

With the MSM covering for Obozo again and the bulk of the electorate either ignorant of or supporting the dismantling of this nation, we've got trouble right here in River City.

I'm not sure this fight can be won -- or even worth the effort. It now seems that fight will almost certainly move to a new and more "kinetic" level. This WILL get ugly.

All that said, I and many of those I know will NOT allow these treasonous criminals to steal the birthright so many others died to defend.

I guess we'll see you at the polls. If that fails, it's on to the barricades (figurative or literal) to carry on the fight the other side started.

"To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his Gods,"

There are a lot of people who are in unions who are conservative. You only hear about the big mouth ones on the left. My parents, my 2 uncles and an aunt all are union, but they only vote republican. They are tired of the union taking there dues and giving it to democrats. My grandfather was beaten by some union thugs, but no one would testify against the guys who did it. Everyone said they did not see anything, they were scared. He was in the hospital for over a week and was never the same. About 40-45% of the people in unions are republicans. If we don't get these union people who are republican, we lose. Don't believe the lies that all the union people will go with obama. My dad was thrown out of a meeting because he was yelling about the dues and he was told never to come back. He had more than half the people cheering him.

I will NEVER vote romney. He lies, cheats,, steals and will do anything to get himself power. If you want documentation on this I’ll be happy to send it to you. He is No different than obama. If romney wins a third party candidate will rise up and that is the only way I vote.

And we can’t forget the importance of having a republican, even a RINO, in office when a vacancy occurs on the SCOTUS.

At least with a RINO we will have some influence, whereas with The Messiah, we will have ZERO.

Your old tired promises just don’t bear inspection. Romney appointed virtually all liberals to the courts in Massachusetts. Most of them were Democrats. Some were radical left-wing activists.

Not only will I ever vote for Romney, but I’m tired of the GOP “fixing” elections for who “they” think we should vote. The cheating and lying by the romney campaign, with the assistance of the gop, the media on the right, and unnamed powerful people, has shown me they are as corrupt as the democrats. IF romney wins, there WILL BE a third party candidate. I would never have considered that before, but because of the tatics used to force romney on us, we better start considering who we will end up with in 2016. I have no doubt that romney will lose against obama. Any third grader could show the hypocrisy of who he really is. If we do as we are “told” and vote for THEIR politican we are saying, keep lying and cheating, I'll do what I am told like a good republican. We will NEVER again have a choice in a nominee. They did this with mccain and now romney. They are stealing our vote, no different than when people vote for the dead. If we give them what they want they will know there schemes have worked and will continue to use them until we stop it.

The GOP have taken our right to vote and corrupted it. If I vote for romney, then I am just like democrat voters who live on the plantation. Why should I stay with a party who uses me? I won’t if romney wins.

The only problem with your analysis is that Romney IS a liberal!

Mass is not the US Congress. Different animal completely. Mittens will not have much influence over the congress, especially a congress dominated by republicans voted in by republican and conservative voters. The congress WILL have influence over mittens. The presidential election has long coat-tails when it comes to helping others get elected.

But if you choose to stand by and allow the Zero to get another term. . take your ball (vote) and go home.

Me. . .I'd rather go down fighting than to just give up and fall on my knees and hope Zero and his ilk treat me kindly.

This election is about more than the presidency.

Have a nice day.

How about the normal resume items, like:

Education, military service, elected offices and private enterprise positions held, major accomplishments, endorsements, etc.?

Means of support between elections?

Ok....so, let’s say I agree with all of your anti-Mitt points...

Where does that leave us?

Santorum would garner a solid 35 % of the popular vote and we’d be stuck w Barack.

I continue to contend that Newt is the only one of the 3 capable of making Obama’s campaign, pure misery.

ya, i know all about the delegate count, which has nothing to do with my point.

And where is this "congress dominated by republicans" going to come from if Mitt is the nominee? Apart from those who refuse to vote for Mitt (who may nevertheless go to the polls to vote downticket . . . and may not), Mitt will not generate any enthusiasm in the conservative base. Lack of enthusiasm means depressed turnout. And all those precious liberals and moderates whom Mitt is supposed to draw (though they may well prefer Obama in the general) are really, really unlikely to vote in a conservative Congress.

Mitt has gotten as far as he has by money and lies; Obama can outclass him on both counts.

[ Don’t believe the lies that all the union people will go with obama. ]

What is.. is.. What ain’t.... AIN’T

The Unions some were then and all are Now... PARASITICAL..
The first thing communists do when taking over a country is take over the Unions..
They(unions) support their false ideological dreams..

Unions sap strength from any economical system...
To be a Union member means you are part of the problem not the solution..
Unions are ANTI-FREEDOM... and anti-individual... Always..

All arguments for Unions are Rope-A-Dope... double talk..
ONLY self-centered parasites fall for Union rhetoric..
UNIONS are extremely negative.. even while robber barons were strong..

When Unions and politics meet there is word for that..
That word is Fascism.. which is a form of Communism..
Unions feed on socialism which a symptom of the political disease of democracy..
Democracy was, is now and will continue to be Mob Rule by mobsters..

Democracy is a lie.. no country has ever been democratic.. ever..
Thats why the US is not a democracy.. that word appears nowhere in the American Constitution..

Romney is not a liberal he’s an ally of liberals..
While mouthing non liberal double talk he supports liberals..

The good friend of Ted Kennedy(romney) is a ringer,, a phoney,, a fake..
He fooled democrats for years into voting for him(Mass) because they knew he was a ringer..

He is RINO in an Elephants costume, a spy, a Trojan Horse..
He is a double agent as UNION drone owned by the Unions..

Republican women cannot “smell” him but many republican men do..
He smells like a democrat he has a QUEER sound in his voice like a democrat..

Q: Why would Mass. voters choose him(an ultra rich republican) when they prefer Ted Kennedy, Francois Kerry and Barney Frank and many more evil bastards like that?..

A: They know he is also an evil son of a bitch.. They “smell” him.. He smells like “THEM”..
