Indiana, N Carolina, and W Va Test Romney and Paul Support (Vote PAUL to show Romney's Weakness)

Not if your INTENTION was to establish or strengthen a 3rd conservative party.

Then your vote would do EXACTLY as intended.

Not at all. The time for that is the primaries and between elections. In the general election 3rd parties are spoilers you wasted a vote.

Thanks for the help.

You Paul people are so misguided. All your vote for Paul means to the average maybe voter is that Romney is a bad candidate and they might as well either sit out the election in November or vote for BO. You Paul people are the ones destroying the conservative support in the GOP. You are making other ignorant people think Romney can't possibly win because even his own party is in disarray. They will not have the get up and go to vote in Nov. And ignorant or not we GOP conservatives now need all the anti-BO votes voting for Romney to win. And, that is what we are about isn't it, winning?

[free_life]

Voting for the only candidate with both fiscal and social conservative values and promises, is destroying conservative support in the GOP?

Kick both Obama and Romney to the curb, support Paul.

[xzins]

Sorry, Sun, but you don’t build 3rd parties in primary elections.

The time for a 3rd party to gain name recognition is in the general election. That is the time to vote and have your vote accomplish something.

zero has already packed the court and Romney is no better (I'll find the link after I send this) .. zero's already bypasssed congress with his czars and regulatory commisions.

Romney can't be trusted (imo) to cancel every EO zero has ever signed, nor fire every czar, nor defund and eliminate EPA (f'rinstance).

The only one that had the aggies to speak hard against obama and vow to destroy all of his administrative efforts was Newt ... and he's gone.

We REALLY need a handle on the delegates and the convention if we are to be pre-emptively effective in regaining our America.

When has that ever happened. Don't say that's how the Republican party started. When Lincoln won the Whigs were gone, morphed into the Republican party. The Republicans didn't win anything as a third party. Support grew for the (R) between elections, not as a third party spoiler. Republicans won when the Whigs were history.

[Andrei Bulba]

No one is going to stop Romney at the convention at this point.

As to judges, save your link I’ve seen it 500 times.

As a republican president facing a republican Congress, Romney is NOT going to appoint the likes of Sotomayer or Kagan. I’m very sorry if you’ve convinced yourself he will.

As to Newt, well that really should be clear by now.

[GenXteacher]

I voted for Paul today...because he wasn’t Myth Romney. Piss on the GOP-e.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Realistic choices for whom ? Socialists. You’re barking up the wrong tree, because I’ve actively opposed and exposed Willard’s ultraleft record going back a long time. There is no scenario imaginable that I would vote for that lying fraud and sociopath ever. Unless the GOP does the right thing and dumps that abomination at the convention, my vote goes to Virgil Goode.

[WOSG]

“Willard doesn’t have the delegates”

He will, it’s inevitable. He just got 65% of the NC vote and got 100% of Indiana’s delegates as well. Add in the delegates from the rivals who endorsed him and he’s already there.

“and WHY are you so anxious for us NOT to stop the Socialist abomination ?”

I am anxious for November to stop the Socialist abomination Obama.

[WOSG]

“The Libertarian and Constitution Party are recognized alternative parties in the US.”

Uh huh. Remind us again of how many Presidential races they’ve won and how many laws they got passed....

as many as Daffy Duck?!?

“There is no place at all that the US Constitution says “The US is a 2 Party System”.”

Yeah, and the Bible doesnt tell you how to compute the area of a circle, so obviously pi*r^2 is bogus.

[fieldmarshaldj]

“Inevitable.” You even talk like the leftists. You’re on the wrong website.

[WOSG]

Ron Paul failed the test in NC:
Romney got 65% and Ron Paul got 11%.

[WOSG]

“Reagan lost to the guy that lost to Carter, so I have no idea why anyone would be confident that he can beat Carter.”

Good one.

Romney’s doing a bit better than Reagan was doing pollwise in May 1980, but otherwise this is shaping up quite a bit like that election.

[caver]

I also voted for Santorum, even though he is out of the race. Romney won easily here in Indiana. I will hold my nose and vote for him in November.

[xzins]

The real issue was what Mitt Romney would get. If not this one, one of the articles I read said that 2/3rds was the threshold for Romney now that the main players are out and he's running alone. 65% is an insignificant mathematical deviation from 2/3rds.

So, I agree with you. In NC Romney met the test. That's not to say he didn't elsewhere. I just haven't seen the results yet.

[xzins]

“There is no place at all that the US Constitution says “The US is a 2 Party System”.” Yeah, and the Bible doesnt tell you how to compute the area of a circle, so obviously pi*r^2 is bogus.

Faulty illustration. The bible is not set up as a math book.

The US Constitution is set up to establish the details of our government.

[Future Snake Eater]

Political parties aren’t government. They’re political parties. Why would the Constitution say anything about it?

[xzins]

Because of the insistence by some that the US is a 2-party system. I pointed out that the US Constitution requires no such thing. That was the topic of discussion.

You reinforce my point by inferring that political parties aren’t mentioned in the US Constitution.
