[[I suggest that we are living in extraordinary times. It’s indeed possible that even though we may elect a rino President he may govern more to the right than we are aware.]]
What othjer choice do we have IF we don’’t want a socialist (obama) baqck in office for another 4 years at which point he would go hog wild enacting laws that violate our constitutional rights? Those in this thread declarign they are goign to abstain from voting for romney, are pretty much ensuring that obama will serve another 4 years- what they are doing is called ‘cutting off the nose to spite the face’.
Yes, Ronmeny is NOT the optimal choice- Heck NONE of the GOP candidates were optimal- not even close- ALL were lairs- ALL flip flopped- ALL were career politicians- And Yes, Romeny is the worst of the bunch- However, He’s our ONLY chance of defeating a DANGEROUS SOCIALIST hell bent on destroyin this coutnry for his own gain.
voting for someone else who has no chance of defeating obama is throwing away votes- period- Folks can argue all day long that their ‘protest vote’ won’;t harm the GOP’s chance to defeat obamsa but the palin truth is that it WILOL harm his chances-
Like you say- Romney is not ideal, however he will be NOWHERE NEAR as dangerous a president as obama has already been and threatens to be if he gets antyoehr 4 years to go absolutely wild with his socialist agenda- and he is just chomping at hte bit waiting to be reelected to do just that-p Hell- He even revealed to the russians that that is exactly what he was waitign for- reelection so that he woudl be ‘unrestrained’ to unleash his socialist ideals
IF that’s what those in this thread want to risk by throwing away their votes by voting for osmeoen with no chance to win out of some kidn odf distorted principle- then I’ve lost all hope that this coutnrty wil ever be capable of doign hte right hting again-
Puh-leeze. Don’t call our principles “distorted.” Romney was the grandfather of Obamacare. And you think he’s the best way to defeat socialism? Bringing the principles you hate into our own party doesn’t make sense as a way to defeat them, period. If Romney is the nominee, we’ve ALREADY lost. Although I won’t be voting for either, at least if Obama’s elected we got a good chance to nominate a real conservative in 2016, the same way Reagan came back after Jimmy Carter.
Would you have rathered 4 years of Carter with 8 years of Reagan or 4 years of Ford, followed by, I don’t know, more Ford, more RINOs, or the Democrats winning power during the ‘80s?
The reelection of Obama is going to be a terrible thing but we can survive it if we keep having elections like we did in 2010. The Tea Party principle is to elect conservatives and throw any bums out who diverge from their principles. If you don’t stand on principles, why are you voting at all?
Not to mention, if we DID find a 3rd party conservative candidate who became as prominent as Ross Perot, they probably WOULD stand a much better chance of being elected than Perot did.
Not to mention, there’s a chance John Huntsman makes it onto that Americans Elect ticket on all 50 ballots. I would gladly vote for him over Mitt Romney. From what I understand anyway, Huntsman was a pretty conservative governor. And even if he’s a true moderate, that’s good enough for me and better than a flaming liberal like Obama or Romney.
I cant figure out most here,seems they have no clue what it actually takes to get elected.
