Goodnight all. I’ve made my points. Tomorrow I’ll be happy to read any reasoned responses to my points, but I won’t likely answer any more questions from people who don’t care about the answers.
I myself will not vote for the lesser evil. I am still hoping Newt pulls a Tampa surprise. When I ponder what will happen if the current pRes is re-elected, I do not worry that the world will end.
“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries.
Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
Matthew 6:34 (NLT)
As my Pappa (mechanic by trade) used to say, “Son sometimes you just haveta let it break before ya can fix it”.
I’ve been trying to post on various threads that dumping the Republican Estsblishment Party and voting against Obama ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
If it’s Romney vs. Obama, they are the same in policy but not in heart. Romney may be phony and liberal, but he’s not a communist actively supporting if not working for America’s enemies. Voting for Romney is voting for a typical Democrat over a freaking Commie.
And doing the above does NOT DETER from fighting the Republicans. They will always just use and abuse us and force Rinos down out throats. Therefore we must begin to start a new party, a conservative, Tea Party style party. This takes years. It is too late for 2012. We need to vote against Romney in all the primaries,fight him at the convention, but then we should band together to vote to keep Obama out of office.
Re-electing Obama does not “teach” the Rinos a lesson. Otherwise they would have gotten that lesson a Long time ago. For statists, as long as there is a statist in office, who cares what party’s? The protest no-vote only means that instead of the Rinos taking us for granted, Obama will. Ad he will be LAUGHING, LAUGHING. And that is something I cannot abide.
We can be open and protest the Repubs. We can leave them behind. We can be ACTIVE AND BOLD about it. But we can’t do much about 2012.
Stick around. There is a way to make this work out. I understand JR’s anger. But we can throw the bath water out without killing the baby. We can. We must.
I’m kind of new here, but I think I understand how things work.
The site’s name is Free Republic and the focus of it is to return America back to a time when the country wasn’t run lik a dictatorship, but the site itself seems to be run like one with an absolute lack of free expression. And why? You people pay into it! You should be able to freely discuss why you want Romney to win...or why you refuse to vote for him. You can’t have a frank and open discussion if you’re always worried that Jim Robinson might not care for your opinion (see Lazamataz’s current freak out when he thought Jim didn’t like his comment).
Feel free to attack me as a n00b...or a Romneybot... I don’t even like the guy, but I’ll be damned if I’ll sit home on election day.
Yeah, we all saw how the GOP-E fell in behind the Tea Party candidates who primaried RINOs in 2010.
Not.
Seems to me the problem is with the GOP-E for being more willing to lose with a RINO than win with a conservative.
Romney practically designed 0bamacare, for God's sake! How in God's name will Romney's election roll back any of the evil which 0bama and his ilk have fomented? 0bamacare? Abortion? Second Amendment? Bailouts? NOTHING.
Its time to go independent/third party if this is the best the GOP can muster against such a rabid marxist. Marxism lite is not an alternative.
The trend lines are consistent and undeniable. Let the country hit rock bottom sooner, rather than later. Only then can we begin to reclaim it and destroy the collective authoritarianism which now dominates both national parties.
Don't prolong the inevitable by helping elect either of these two clowns to office. Wrong is wrong.
The Republic will falter, and it would be better if a GOP president were not at the helm when it does so.
At this point, our only hope is an independent candidacy, or some disaster for Romney which would produce a different GOP nominee.
Make no mistake. Conservatives are energized and will help elect and preserve a GOP Congress. Do we really want a socialist GOP President to have Congress rubber stamp his legislation?
Look at the big picture. It's a realistic patriotic strategy to not vote for Romney in 2012. Opinions can differ, but the anti-Romney crowd cannot be legitimately ridiculed.
Yawn. I’ve seen better opuses written in crayon.
A single election cannot destroy our country. Endless ideological capitulation will.
Imagine what liberals would do if Ronald Reagan, in all his conservative glory, somehow became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. This is how utterly out of phase we are with the bald-faced liar: Romney.
I love an opus. It’s been so long.
Just ignore that liberals hijacked the Republican party as well.
