Never at all costs - I don't vote for lying scum for America but don't let me stop you - I didn't stop you from voting for NEWT the ONLY one who could beat obama and more than willing and capable of undoing the damage and turn our country around towards the right path.
This entire situation with the GOP candidates/Romney/”Conservatives” on Free Republic has marked a milestone in my life. I now consider myself an elitist.
Why? Because when so many self proclaimed ‘conservatives’ will put everything they claim to believe in on the back burner and abandon the concept of right and wrong entirely in the name of ousting Obama (like voting for/supporting a man who is by cash, word and deed pro-abortion), there is no longer a point in trying.
America cannot be saved because the majority of Americans, and most tellingly, self proclaimed ‘conservatives right here on Free Republic, no longer believe in the principles and values the country once represented. Support for Romney shows that. If you vote for a person, you are voting to give him the power to act on his beliefs, whatever they are. Period. People can make all the excuses they want. That’s all they are. And people who deny reality are fools.
I, and others here are not. We retain both the ability to tell right from wrong and the desire to uphold the principles and values that being a Conservative American once stood for. That makes me better than a person who will throw it to the wind for a fantasy.
I stated on prior threads that any of these so called conservatives, including the ‘powers’ of the Republican party, who support mitt are demonstrably going against the very political platform they claim to believe in. So be it. Let them excuse and self congratulate. Let them chant slogans and look down their noses at those of us not choosing to follow their lead into the septic tank. I’ll sleep well knowing my vote will be a vote for what America once was. Theirs will be a vote in support of a liberal, no matter how they spin it. Because they either lack the intelligence or the personal integrity to do otherwise.
The facts of Mitt Romney are out there for all to see. We here on FR know more than most what he is. That any of us would vote for that, well... that’s why I/we are better.
