Voting for Romney (D-Mass.): The Worst Mistake a Conservative Could Make
Country Thinker ^ | april 7, 2012 | Ted Lacksonen

Posted on 04/30/2012 9:14:40 AM PDT by Mozilla

Why am I so pas­sion­ate today? Well, most read­ers who visit here know the coun­try is in deep doo-​​doo. I’m here to tell you that vot­ing for Mitt Rom­ney (D-​​Mass.) will not change that fact and may make things worse. I will explain two things. First, Rom­ney (D-​​Mass.) is the pre­sump­tive Repub­li­can nom­i­nee pre­cisely because he will do noth­ing to improve our country’s for­tunes. He is the cho­sen one because he will main­tain the sta­tus quo. That is what the GOP machine has cho­sen him to do.

Sec­ond, you can­not “take over” the Repub­li­can machine and turn it into some­thing in decent. I have made that state­ment before, but I’m going to describe the machine in greater detail. Keep in mind that this is infor­ma­tion I have obtained from cur­rent and for­mer GOP insid­ers. Every­one on the inside agrees that the Party has been con­structed so it can­not be taken over. They have also con­structed a polit­i­cal sys­tem so the polit­i­cal duop­oly is very, very dif­fi­cult to chal­lenge. (Repub­li­can insid­ers HATE polit­i­cal free­dom, like so many other free­doms.) Whether that’s a good thing or bad thing is a mat­ter of judg­ment. For con­ser­v­a­tives and lib­er­tar­i­ans it’s bad. For estab­lish­men­tar­i­ans it’s wonderful.

Finally I will explain why vot­ing for Rom­ney (D-​​Mass.) is the worst thing you can do, regard­less of whether you’re a “prin­ci­pals” voter or a “strate­gic” voter.

If you are not one hun­dred per­cent con­vinced that I am cor­rect in those state­ments, you absolutely must read the rest of this piece and tell me where I’m wrong. I know I’m cor­rect, and I can assure you that if you vote for Rom­ney (D-Mass.) it will be the great­est polit­i­cal regret of your life.

Actually, there is a very big difference, but I understand you not wanting to address it. With the SCOTUS appointments, we have to have a majority int he Senate so the nominees are not liberal swill like he nominated int he democrat controlled state where he was governor. The key is voting in sufficient TEA party folks to drag Milt to the right.

You are no ‘called’ preacher. Your , hateful, smartaleck posts show your heart, so I accuse you of being a liar and an obamanoid ... oh wait, that’s redundant. You claimed God called you to preach ‘the other side of the world’ ... I believe you are a liar. God does not call your ilk to preach. You may dupe people into believing you’re ‘called’ but I’m calling you a liar. The truth is not in you.

Well here’s my blog if you care to prove yourself, so you can vet whether or not I’m a liar as to where I am right now and what my ideology is:

God does not call your ilk to preach.

Well you can go take that up with Him when you stand before Him in that Day.

You may dupe people into believing you’re ‘called’ but I’m calling you a liar. The truth is not in you.

I certainly fear for you in that Day. Pronouncing such judgment on someone's heart and standing before the Lord is not wise. I'll assume you are biblically ignorant of Matthew 7:1-2. I don't want to even think about the possibility of you being knowlegable of Jesus' words after reading what you wrote.

Perhaps you will next tell us that not voting for Romney in November consigns us to the lake of fire?

No, Poseur, it is you who have been trying to squelch by tying the November vote to your version of biblical guilt. As to judging, well, the gift of discernment is not applied that way for it is written 'Judgment is mine, sayeth the Lord, I will repay.' Did you actually think to increase your scam at FR by revealing your bigger scam? We had an LDS apologist who used that tactic. Revealed even more of his demented state, too.

Your 'appeal to authority' effort reminds me of another dead soul named Barry Lynd. He's an outspoken christian poseur, too. You just keep trying to bully folks into voting the way you demand. It reveals the spirit that is within you as you insult folks and threaten biblical retribution.

You’re a projecting joke.

I even presented pic links and my blog link to give you space to verify if your accusations had merit beyond your effort to tar and feather those who won’t vote for Romney.

Like every projectionist, you accuse others of what you, yourself most likely are.

And I was also correct on your woeful lack of biblical acumen. The scripture says “Vengeance is mine”, (Romans 12:19 quoting Deuteronomy 32:35), not judgement as you incorrectly cited.

As to bullying others into voting - you’re projecting again. I haven’t bullied anyone into voting for anyone like you MittWitts do. I’m pointing out the trap and ridiculous folly of playing into the Ruling Class scam that has been foisted on us.

I have stated I am voting only for Conservatives, and I will work to convince as many as I can to do the same.

Somehow in your twisted world, you assume those like myself and Jim Robinson and other Conservatives that are tired of playing the Ruling Class game, are somehow anti-Christs and “poseurs”.

I think your own post illustrates you for the projecting you want to assign to me.

In that I agree with you completely. I will most assuredly cast a vote for every conservative congressional candidate on the ballot. Our difference is that I believe "party unity" will be used to leverage our team's support for more Souter-esque justices. It may be a pipe dream, but I would prefer Obama's lack of eligibility to come to light and have him and *all* his appointments removed from office is one fell swoop.

So, you have a private sin life and have this desperate need to project ... I have not been bullying anyone to vote for Romney, but you on the other hand have been trying to even use biblical inveigling to bully folks into not voting against little barry bastard commie.

Just out of curiosity, did you ever meet Sathya Sai Baba? Were you enamored by him if you did attend one of his ashrams? Are you episcopalian? ... Or Anglican? Your emotional outburst and desperate projections are quite telling.

The little bastard commie will not be impeached or removed because Republicans lack a respect for OUR Constitution and they are too cowardly to even raise the issue of his illegitimacy. He was placed on this fence post and being the socialist/anarchist turtle he is, he is stuck there so he’s trying to destroy the Republic via the Cloward Piven strategy and massive building of the dependency class. I even wonder if there are ANY republicans in offcie who understand what the Cloward-Piven strategy IS and the goal of same as a commie tool to end capitalism.

You MittWitts really are something. The fact that there is literally NO DIFFERENCE between Romney's record and Obama's, I suppose it's fitting that his supporters like you sound like and act just like Obama's supporters.

The other fun thing to note is how readily you give a pass to a Socialist Mormon, but since I'm an Evangelical Christian you tear asunder, ridicule, cast down and judge my faith and standing before God. This AFTER you falsely accused me of lying, of which you have no honor to correct yourself from once you were proven wrong.

I think that speaks volumes of your character.

You remind me of another being who stands before the Throne night and day accusing the brethren. Perhaps you are simply listening to his wavelength instead of that which you might claim to belong?

but you on the other hand have been trying to even use biblical inveigling to bully folks into not voting against little barry bastard commie.

If that is what you want to call it. As a Pastor, one aspect of my job is to point out to brethren where our responsibilities lie as Followers of Christ. There is NO biblical justification for abandoning principles for expedience. Even if it to save one's own life.

But then again you wouldn't understand that. Your posts reveal you to be biblically ignorant. Maybe you should pay more attention in Sunday School.

Just out of curiosity, did you ever meet Sathya Sai Baba?

He's dead.

Were you enamored by him if you did attend one of his ashrams?

There you go again. It's a hallmark of Satan to make those kinds of accusations with nothing other than a perverted imagination and non-existent discernment.

Are you episcopalian? ... Or Anglican?

Neither.

Agree with your statements INVAR....

I cannot say I haven't struggled with the place we are in...thru the Primary I knew who ever would win..by what ever measures they might use to seal it, would be a strong indicator where we are in this hour before God.

My fear was the people would not turn to the Lord and by doing so swallow whatever they were being fed. We certainly missed the opportunity to turn this ship around IMO....I believe this was the last opportunity.

You are correct about our culture...it is not the USA it once was....many nationalities now come in with no intention of assimilating, rather they set up their cultures shop, their religions, and then infiltrated our churches with their beliefs and rituals.......reminds me of the middle ages.

It's heartbreaking to see we have lost this nation to the hoards that have entered in....but then that is exactly what happens to nations who turn their backs on God....we aren't completely there yet but it's fast approaching now.

I do think we are past the point of no return now...what our nation will look like and how it will look ahead will be changed to what it was never intended...and we've certainly seen more than enough from what it was.

However...we have another message and work to be done..and with that what we can do to stem the tide a little perhaps.

Obama’s not even original.

Witness, how this was done by Mao Tse Dung of China, Castro of Cuba, Chavez of Venezuela, Stalin, Hitler, Ayatollah Komeini of Iran, Gaddaffy of Libya, The Assads of Syria,... and many more tasteless, classless, narcissistic, and despicable dictators around the world.

AMEN!!!!

Incredibly well stated.

I was so consumed by fear over the course our nation has been going for the last decade, that the refusal of many churches to even consider repenting of becoming lukewarm and surrendering our culture, I began to despair and anger nearly overtook me. The idea to do a 2 Chronicles 7:14 seemed absurd for many congregations that literally were of the opinion that they had all the fullness of Christ and had need of nothing, least of all to accept any responsibility for losing our culture.

Such is madness when our national blessings come from God, and this culture has decided to yank Him out of our civic life while Christians (Like Republicans) did little to nothing to stand up for righteousness.

Being called to go to the other side of the world to do something I did not want to do, actually helped me focus on God and less on solving our national slide into ruin.

There is still a work to be done in terms of preaching the Gospel. It’s stunning to learn how many have never even yet heard of Jesus Christ.

While we have a little daylight left, my prayer has been more earnestly to ask God to hold back the night, So we have a bit more time to do the work of the Lord before night falls and none of us in the faith can work openly.

As someone here at FReepers recently noted, they do not find the USA involved in the events that describe the End of the Age in Daniel and Revelation, and they suggested that perhaps we are not even in existence at that time.

I concur with that study. Time is short, and our only hope is not in voting for men into positions of political power, but recapturing our culture first and foremost.

A moral and Godly people are the only building materials upon which a house of liberty can be secure. Short term political solutions to save our skins that betray principles are not going to amount to anything but ruin and judgment.

“For whoever may desire to save his life will lose it. But whoever may lose his life for My sake will find it”. - Matthew 16:25

That is as true of our nation as it is an individual. Political expedience while surrendering principles to save our nation will result in losing it.

Satan has never been original. He sticks to what works.

Lucky for him, mankind willfully forgets history to sate his appetite for gratification while choosing to revel in cognitive dissonance.

Imho, Moooo is even more repulsive than her wife !

George surely had his policy faults, but at least with Laura we had an actual Lady filling the First role.

The current creature, our first First Gargoyle, is truly a national embarrassment.

Here we have yet more indication that you are a Poseur:

Were you enamored by him (Sathya Sai Baba) if you did attend one of his ashrams? Me

There you go again. It's a hallmark of Satan to make those kinds of accusations ... The alinskyesque Poseur, YOU

It is interesting to see you trying to mischaracterize a question as an accusation, for that is the very method Satan uses and the stealthy liberal methodology. Yes, Baba is dead. He was also a pedophile, homosexual ... you have indications of a sick spirit, spittling so many insults and accusations, very unlike a Minister of The Gospel, but very characteristic of degenerate ministers scamming the people. With that for contemplation, I will leave you the thing you seem desperate for, the last word. May the very God of Peace have mercy upon your soul and upon US all.

Do you just moonlight here at FR after sounding like a derranged OWS supporter, or is your character THAT debased in real life?

It is interesting to see you trying to mischaracterize a question as an accusation,

That's what you were doing with your question; setting it up for an accusation. I know what your motive was, I didn't fall for your bait. I answered it in the manner I did because I did not think you would understand a question in reply: 'when did you stop beating your spouse?'

for that is the very method Satan uses and the stealthy liberal methodology.

You are projecting about yourself again. This coming from a person who has no honor whatsoever, who falsely accused me of lying and making declarations without any shred of proof or evidence beyond your own hatred of what I posted that you took personally.

you have indications of a sick spirit, spittling so many insults and accusations, very unlike a Minister of The Gospel, but very characteristic of degenerate ministers scamming the people.

You simply illustrate that you do exactly as your father does at the Throne night and day: accuse the brethren. Even when proof was provided that your accusation was false.

You have no honor and are in serious need of repenting if you consider yourself a follower of Christ.
