Speaking for myself, I haven’t called anyone names for saying they’re going to vote for Romney in order to oust Obama. I actually understand that, in view of how desperately I want Obama out.
But it goes both ways. Some of us just cannot vote for Romney because of religious objections. Yet some on this site respond to that like liberals would. “Is Jesus talking to you now?” “Is God running for office?” Or with accusations of being self-righteous, pure, etc.
If you want one to end, you have to be willing to stop the other.

The discourse here has been ugly throughout the primary season and emotions have run high. I see this administration as the biggest threat to our freedom in my lifetime. I believe an Obama SCOTUS would be horrific for the evangelical church and our Judeo/Christian morals.
I probably share your opinion of Mormonism and I know that will impact the election, particularly in the south. I have pointed that out many times. However, adding another Kagan/Sotomayor to the court won’t be beneficial for our faith and will make the court just as radical as this administration.
We have one swing vote on the court right now that is preventing the wholesale implementation of the progressive agenda. Your pastor/priest might lose their right to free speech under an Obama court. We might lose our right to discuss on this forum under an Obama court. Yes, I fear that these things are closer than we know. I watch the court with interests and I also listen to the progressives own words. What they can’t accomplish through popular vote they will accomplish through the courts. They have repeatedly shown this to be true.
Our conservative ideas and constitution are badly wounded. President Romney will likely be an infection on our extremities. Obama’s second term is a dagger over our heart because of SCOTUS. This must be part of the discussion here.
I sympathize with those who are despondent. I felt the same way about McCain and have a visceral distrust of him. I feel the same way about Romney. Palin gave us a glimmer of hope, but the man at the top of the ticket was deemed unworthy. How I wish we could revisit that decision now!
I respectfully believe that many on this forum are not thinking about the big picture. We did’nt last time because we were disgusted with the GOPe. It has been a disaster for us and our nation. Obama means certain defeat and an Obama court will extend that nightmare far beyond his second term for all of us.
We must not allow our disgust with our candidate to blind us to the insidious danger of the progressive agenda. Hopefully, more people will weigh the options and see the same thing. We can’t afford four more years of this administration and twenty more years of an Obama court. We can influence Romney and the GOPe. We can’t influence this administration or the DNC. We can influence what SCOTUS will look like going forward. We can’t influence what SCOTUS will look like if we lose.
I am going to go work in the garden and pray that my wife and kids make it home safely from their trip. All I ask of FR and Jim Robinson is that we are allowed to point out the big picture without having our free speech crushed on this forum.
The big picture... our Tea Party GOP in the house has not been able to stop Obamacare. Our hope lies in the court. I have a bad feeling that we will face that situation many times in the future!
It’s the 4th quarter and we are getting our butts kicked. Now is not the time to allow the other team to put in their own referees because our QB sucked in practice and the last game.
