Truce or no truce, I’m still not voting for Romney.

[DesertSapper]

Truce? Paint me skeptical - and you know exactly why Jim. Maybe people CAN change ... except Romney of course. :-)

We’ll have to wait to see if the combination of the GOP-E and the “Never-Romney” conservatives shackles us with another 4 years of the most damaging President in history. Nevertheless, I hope FR can survive this election cycle.

[JRandomFreeper]

I'm not willing to make presumptions or call a game in the 3rd quarter. Romney still doesn't have enough uncontested delegates to wrap up the nomination.

I only use Visa debit and it never fails.

“And that means that I won’t be voting for Romney.”

It appears to me that you have fallen for the “Perot Gambit”, guaranteeing that Obama will stay in the Oval Office.

[uptoolate]

Regardless of the outcome of the presidential race, we must build on our majorities at the local state and federal levels and we must retake the senate.

I've heard it said that one of the key offices is your local Sheriff. Having a man of character that can refuse an order because of conscience due to an immoral order from a superior is quite beneficial. Even if the most he can do is give you a call ahead of time to "let you know he's been ordered to "visit" you."

May Peace Reign Here at/in FReeperLand. We owe it to each other.

Amen to that.

we are even trying to get host to do their radio shows on location.......

[JRandomFreeper]

The GOP-E guaranteed that Obama would stay in office by badmouthing conservatives (See Karl Rove), playing dirty tricks, and changing the rules in the middle of the game.

If the GOP wants my vote, they need to put a conservative forward. Period.

[Real Cynic No More]

Very well said. We must continue to fight and devote our resources where they will truly count. Keeping the House (hopefully increasing the conservative majority), and re-taking the Senate should be our goals. In addition, we should strive for a veto-proof Senate... that’s a stretch goal, but we should certainly go for it.

Thanks much, Jim, for leading the fight. Your wisdom on what we should do is spot-on. Retreat in the face of an over-whelming enemy is not surrender; rather, the result will be to save and grow our resources for the bigger fight!

[reaganaut]

The fact we all here dislike Obama is unquestionable, but those of us who realize what a disaster he will be with 4 more years will logically vote to remove him and at least have a CHANCE for sane executive decisions being made.

- — -
It is not unquestionable, based on the number of I times we have been called ‘democrat plants’.

I realize the disaster Obama will be in the next 4 years, but Romney will be the SAME disaster. I’m voting against BOTH of them.

I will never ever vote for Romney, I cannot in good conscience. It is the GOPs fault if we lose not mine, because they should never have let a RINO liar get this far.

I’m a conservative, not a Republican.

[Bigun]

F O!

Now is not the time for your bile!

[old school]

True dat!

[MSSC6644]

I view him as over the top

Please read my post #261 and then elaborate on your meaning here. Thanks.

[Resettozero]

Does this mean that folks may generally say pro-Romney things? Argue for Romney (civilly, of course)? Engage in the sort of behavior in favor of Romney...

There is plenty of this already on FR; why add more to it? If you folks elect Romney, I'll decide in 4 years whether to help re-elect him. This year, I'm making my stand against him and other such Republicans who are marginalizing conservatives in the party.

[WKUHilltopper]

Yes, we do need to fight to save the Republic!

[Timber Rattler]

Never forget, folks, how we ultimately came to this point:

Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Sarah Palin

[Albion Wilde]

Heartsob abort. Grassroots activities re-engage in 3...2..1. God bless you, Jim.

[fwdude]

You've left out one other option, Jim.

We have fallen under the stupor that Obama will be the Democrat candidate, when most of us know he is probably ineligible for the U.S. presidency, and/or is so guilty of egregious Constitutional violations, that in a sane world his future would be void.

One direction we can direct our energies is standing on our representatives, and those with influence who can carry our voices to a place of power, for the total exposure of this unconstitutional cretin. Sheriff Joe is one such voice, we can and should add to it with hundreds of thousand of amplified protests in unison. Obama doesn't have to be an option if the truth can prevail.

We need to be opening our mouths and our wallets, not just for conservative candidates, but for the effort to expose, indict, and expel this fraud. We also need to begin walking with our wallets away from those organizations which perpetuate this facade of "truth." It will be work and it will be costly, but unless economic ramifications are felt by the Leftist organizations, both corporate and individually, in this country, they will continue with their demonic agenda.

"You raise an interesting point. If Zero wasn't an ineligible Communist controlled by George Soros, I might consider voting for him, just so TSHTF on his watch.

I understand your feelings - a while back I posted to the same effect. However, it has become clear to me in the last few months that the stuff hitting the fan won't just be a depression; Obama has waged war on Christians and has consorted with our enemies to undermine the security of the country. I could weather a depression; I can't weather the destruction of Israel, a nuclear Iran, a nuclear-armed North Korea with long range missiles and the spectre of millions of Americans murdered at the hands of terrorists. I now see those things as possibilities with another 4 years of Obama.
