Conservatives refusing to vote for a full-blown liberal liar is “no common sense” and “hysteria”??
What makes no sense and is hysterical is anyone who thinks voting for a leftwing progressive liar is the way to save the conservative movement.
Those people are literally insane.
BINGO!!!
I would prefer Newt to Romney by miles and miles, but I have a hard time seeing how that happens. I agree with you about Paul - he basically doesn’t count. That leaves Newt and Romney, and Romney’s got a huge lead as well as an apologetic support group (Fox News and most of the more mainstream conservative media). That’s hard to beat.
I find that I must take exception with one very important aspect of your comments.
I am no fan of Mitt. There are several others who I would prefer to see as the GOP nominee.
No one is questioning your right to allocate FR's resources as you see fit. It is YOUR website. And I am in 100% agreement with your statement that we must work even harder to elect TRUE conservatives at all levels..local, state, as well as to Congress. Freepers should donate DIRECTLY whatever they choose to candidates they believe, and can support, and NOT to any campaign committees.
However, I must question your decision NOT to vote for Romney under any circumstances. I myself will hold my nose and vote for him. I would remind you of the following:
1. The next president may will get to nominate anywheres from 1-3 justices to the Supreme Court.
2. I am in Florida. There is no way on God's green earth that Obama can win the election without Florida. As his poll numbers have sunk, Dems are now,( probably to delude themselves) starting to float the idea that Obama has "alternate paths" to an Electoral College majority. This is lunacy. The idea that Obama could lose Florida, yet somehow win, say, North Carolina, and Indiana is at best, a 1000:l shot.
3. I would remind you of the 2000 election results.
Assume, hypothetically that you had been as vehemently opposed to Bush as you are to Romney.
If just 25% of Florida's 2000+ Freepers had taken your advice and NOT voted for Bush, then Al Gore would be president, and then, truly, God help these United States.
I would respectfully suggest that you re-examine and rethink your position in this regard.
Another 4 years of Obama in the WH, even with Republican control of both the House and Senate, will do irreperable harm to the country we both love. That is a given, an absolute. As bad as he has been to date, after November, when he won't have to be concerned with being re-elected, he will do far, far, worse. Heck, he told it to the Russians in the last "open-mike" episode.
You can't compare this to what you fear Romney "might" do if he is elected. There is no option, except to vote for Romney, albeit very grudgingly, and with many reservations.
You know you have inspired me to write something that might wind up with me taking an obligatory week or so off.
Hey, walked the lightning edge before and probably will again ;)
unhinged wingnuts

Using terms like that on here make you sound like a troll...... just sayin’. Only moonbats use that term.
If you found the info useful then I’m happy! :-)
I will not vote for Romney under any circumstances because it would be morally repugnant to me.
Also Romney is the candidate LEAST able to beat Obama, by the way. He is the designated loser by the GOPe.
For that matter what will you do if *all* of them endorse Romney *and* campaign for him???
Will you leave the country? Move to New Zealand,as Rush sometimes (jokingly) says?
Just curious.
“wingnuts” is a DU term I think
I’m not explaining this to you because you don’t get it. I don’t know whether you’re blinded by hatred or just stupid, but it’s a waste of time.
This isn’t as bad as it got on the Giuliani threads. But it’s only April. :-)

I didn’t find FR until well after that. Guiliani didn’t win the nomination. What worries me is, what if Mittens does? Then what?
Option 3 does not help secure an Obama victory. Only directly voting for Obama does that.
It’s things like this that made me decide to vote ABO in November:
It’s Official: Barack Obama Has Declared Himself De-facto Dictator Of The USA.
There is no hatred involved.
I do NOT vote for liberals. Period. End of discussion.
........................
Romney is not going to steal liberal votes from Obama and he cannot energize conservatives. How does he win in November?
He has zero chance of winning.
Good thing we have primaries so we can choose a better candidate.
ABO will not be on the ballot. Romney will. You can only vote for someone. “Against Obama” is not running.
Seemed warranted, if not restrained by comparison.
I agree with you. The reality is that we either vote for BO or Romney. That’s the reality. We may not like it. In fact we may hate it but that’s the truth of the matter. I do not want BO in for another 4 years. He has done so much distruction in 3-1/2 years just think what he can accomplish given 4 more years.
Name calling does not help your cause.
