Not this TEA Party member. There will NEVER be a vote coming from me, my household - and if I can help it, anyone from our community for Romney if he is on the ballot in November.
The Ruling Class has overplayed it’s hand as far as I am concerned.
This election the Ruling Class insists we drink from the cup they thrust into our faces. A cup of their own choosing. They spit in, defiled and knocked from our hands all the other cups we were interested in. So they thrust this platter into our faces with two cups they have said from the beginning of this campaign we must drink from.
Both cups are poison. One we know will kill us quick, the other cup is filled with a poison that will still kill us, but slower and more painfully.
While many folks are trying to convince me that taking the slower poison will buy us time from a quicker death, I refuse to acquiesce to their logic. I REFUSE to take from either cup. I will choose my own, not what they have presented.
I understand where you're coming from. I agree with your assessment.
Here is what I am going to do.
I am going to vote for Mitt Romney, because he is the lesser of two evils. Not even close. He is much, much less evil.
Still evil, of course. But much, much less evil.
I am going to work for Republicans in the House and Senate, so Romney will have less opportunity to "reach across the aisle", because fewer and fewer Democrats will be there.
For 2016, I am going to work to take over the Democratic Party. It's too late for this year, but we have four long years to get a good Democratic nominee for 2016.
We will never be able to wrest the Republican Party from the establishment types. Rommey is their prototype, and they are going to beat us at this game, over and over again. We're stupid to keep playing.
Third Party is simply not an option. If we throw our weight behind a third party, we guarantee the election of whatever Socialist loser the Democrat machine puts forward, in perpetuity.
The only place left to go is the Democratic Party. As their "establishment" becomes more and more blatantly Socialist, they are losing touch with their own electorate. A good, solid pro-growth, pro-America optimistic candidate could make inroads with the Reagan Democrats, and perhaps steal the nomination. Then we flank the Republican Establishment on the right during the 2016 General Election.
That is my modest proposal for a way forward.
But the first step is holding our nose and voting for Mitt.
You are resigning from the country and becoming a one man island? LOL LOL LOL
FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!
Who voted in all those primaries?
You don't agree with the results, but who voted.
In PA our election is next week and I'm voting for Newt, for President, Evan Feinberg for 18th district congress critter and the most conservative guy that I can find for Senate and right now that looks like Smith, but I'm not 100% on him yet.
If Newt doesn't make it, does that mean that in November, I stay home and pout or come back out and write in a sure loser?
Nope, not me, I'm a TEA party guy and have been since the beginning, but I won't sit and bitch about how those bastard elites have screwed me out of my candidate and then cut off my nose.
