“You may be willing to chance that there will be a free election in 2016.”

I have more faith in strength of our republic. You are being ruled entirely by fear...I understand it, but it is not based in reality. The biggest danger Mr. Obama poses are continued bad economic, foreign policy, and judicial appointments. However, I don’t believe Mr. Romney will ultimately be any better on any...except maybe the economy.

“The loss of freedom and liberty just to get even with Romney because this guy or that gal did not get the nomination is a poor excuse for putting our great country on the line!!!”

You are making several false assumptions. The first is that already addressed...you are using an assummed “reality” of your fear’s assumptions to justify your actions. That is a logical falacy called “circular reasoning.” Of course, we all (myself included) do this. However, to say I’m acting out of vengence that my “person” didn’t get the nomination is a falsehood, you are assuming what is not true again. I have NEVER had a hard core choice in this cycle. I “logically” concluded that Newt Gingrich was the most “balanced” of the candidates and voted for him in the primary. However, I would have settled for Santorum or several of the others that were conservative. My disdain for Romney is not based upon him winning. I have opposed Romney since the 2008 primaries when he ran then. I also strongly opposed Ron Paul this cycle because I abhor Libertarians. My strong opposition to Romney is based upon my values....not upon him winning a primary. Were I seeking “revenge” against anyone or thing it would be the GOPe that has ignored its conservative base year after year when we were the ones that kept the party afloat.

Sir, I don’t like people that “wrap themselves in the flag” but I will tell you I have served and am still serving in the defense of this country. Believe me, I would NEVER do anything to jepordize its security. So, when I tell you my “perception” is that Romney is just as dangerous if not more so, don’t question my motives. Obviously, you can question my judgement as I question yours. But, don’t dare accuse me of harming this country for you are out of line sir! My judgement is just as valid as yours. And frankly, I’m actually being more rational than those of you supporting Romney out of fear of Obama.

Like I keep pointing out to folks here on FR. This is Jim Robinson’s home. He owns it, it is his property. True, he needs support from those of us here, but his does not hold a gun to my head and extort money from me. Therefore, when I enter his house, I follow his rules. He has been clear that Romney support is not permitted here.

If you think that Mr. Romney is the great white hope that will save you from the “fill in the blank” Mr. Obama. Well, it seems to me, that on this forum, you should keep that to yourself. It is promoting Romney. If you don’t like it, go elsewhere. Strangely, I have seen posts where persons have said, “I have paid for the right to speak my mind.” Thus, implying that because they donated it gives them a right to not follow the rules. Well, like I said, Jim Robinson didn’t force you or me to give him a dime.
