I just post this...
Unless a brokered convention comes through, he is all we’ve got. Unless you want BO.
A very bright FReeper put it this way,
“So let’s say you are stranded out in the desert, on the verge of dying of thirst. As you stagger through the hot dry sands, in a desperate attempt to find water, You come across a case of a popular sports drink half buried in a shade of a sand dune.
Frantically, you claw away at the sand until you fully uncover the case of life-saving liquid refreshment.
Grabbing one of the bottles, you rub away the sand and dirt so that you can read the ingredients... “Damn,” you mutter to yourself, “High Fructose Corn Syrup! I can’t drink that, bad for my health!” So you toss the bottle aside in disgust and continue on your way, eventually dropping dead several miles away.
And so that is how I see this upcoming election. Romney not only is loaded with high fructose corn syrup, he’s loaded with red dye #3, trans-fats and all sorts of artificial junk. But the alternative is drinking Kool-Aid served up by Jim Jones and the People’s Temple. “
Or Glenn Beck’s way....
1. Do you know anyone who has the understanding and gained their understanding of Jesus Christ and defend it, and they got that understanding from someone like Jeremiah Wright? Do you know anyone who is a good Christian that believes there is no salvation unless there’s collective salvation?
2. Do you know somebody who is raised and/or mentored by communists?
3. Do you have friends or acquaintances that are Marxists, Communists, or have been actively engaged in the overthrow of the United States government?
4. Have you ever been at a party celebrating someone who has been accused of domestic terrorism?
5. Do you know anyone or have you ever been to a party and gave a toast to someone who is accused of being a Muslim terrorist?
6. Do you or any of your friends have the belief that terrorism doesn’t really exist? And that by definition jihad is only a holy struggle?
7. How many of you or how many of your friends have hired members of the Muslim Brotherhood to provide security for your business or their business? Or would hire members of the Muslim Brotherhood to go through and put together your security for your town?
8. Do you have any friends that believe the Muslim Brotherhood is largely secular and good?
9. Do you know anybody that thinks NASA’s foremost goal should be Muslim outreach, so you can help them and NASA can help them feel good?
10. Do you know anybody who believes that Occupy Wall Street features the best people in our country right now?
11. Is it even conceivable that anyone you know or associate with would think that killing Osama Bin Laden was a tough decision? With that, you have a single friend who in that case would make sure that we have a “blame someone else” memo ready just in case it went wrong?
12. Do you have anybody in your circle of friends or your circle of influence that believes America and Israel is the biggest obstacle to peace and stability in the world. Do you know anyone who believes the United States constitution needs to be a photo negative to be right with the world today?
13. Would you or anyone you know take a gift given to the United States after 9/11, a bust of Winston Churchill, and try to give it back to the prime minister on your first meeting? And when he says, “No, no, that’s a gift, you can keep it,” would you or anyone in your circle of influence then take that bust, box it up, ship it back yourself and say “We don’t need it anymore”?
14. Do you know anyone, a single person, who has a wife or a husband that has never been proud of the United States of America until something good happened in their life?
15. Do you know anybody who would actively defend allowing a baby to die without treatment in a hospital if an abortion failed? That the baby would be born outside, the doctors would have it, and they would be allowed to put it in a closet and just let it die?
16. Would someone in your life withhold needed money from poor countries or suggest that needed money from poor countries was withheld unless they change the Constitution to be pro-abortion?
17. Do you know anybody who believes the only way out of debt is to spend $5 trillion in three and a half years? Or believes Solyndra and other green businesses were a good bet, and that the people’s hard earned money is something you should gamble with and you think that it should continue?
18. How many people do you know personally that would give a shout out to someone to say, “Hey, I just want to say hi to Bob over there and thank Bob – It’s been a great day, Bob,” before you had to announce to the country that 13 soldiers were murdered by an Islamic extremist on our own soil?
19. Do you know anybody who claims to be a huge Israeli supporter? Do you know anybody who says, “I’m the biggest fan of Israel, they’re our biggest and strongest ally, and I’m a huge supporter. I’m the best thing that has happened.” And that when the prime minister of that country flew from the other side of the globe to have a scheduled dinner with you, you would humiliate him and blow off for dinner? Let him eat alone while you had a quiet dinner someplace else with friends? Do you know anybody who says, “I am the biggest supporter of Israel,” and then visited all of the Muslim countries around Israel but couldn’t find the time to go to Israel? And that as Israel’s biggest, most loyal supporter, believes they should go back to the indefensible ’67 borders? I understand it if you’re not a fan of Israel, but if you’re a fan of Israel, do you know a soul that is a true fan of Israel that says, “Yes, go back to the ’67 borders”?
20. Do you know any committed capitalist who believes in redistribution of wealth?
That is not the label that's on the bottle. The label that is on the bottle is "flavored with Rat Poison." If you drink it you will die right there, and you know it. It's better to go and look for a fresh spring that God will always provide for the faithful.
Please see:
Here’s my take on Mitt:
What Mitt believes in his heart of hearts doesn’t really matter all that much.
What matters is what he does once in office if elected.
I think the smart thing to do is to announce to the world “This is an election of clear choices. Obama and the Democrats promise big-government collectivism and central planning. Romney and the Republicans represent limited-government, free market self-determination and federalism.”
Then we kick their butts, coast to coast and border to border. All fifty states.
We promote the tea party agenda in the GOP platform and in all Congressional races.
We take out a few RINO Senators, we get control of Congress, and then starting next January we demand conservatism across the board.
Romney will go along with us like he went along with the people of Massachusetts when he was Governor there.
Whenever he strays we check him with a quickness.
Romney will lead the country like a dog leads a parade, with one eye over his shoulder at all times.
We win, the leftists lose.
This approach beats the hell out of having that Kenyan jackass in there for another four years.
F-ing BS. One is labelled cyanide, the other arsenic.
Nope. It's cyanide laced kool-aid either way. You're just kidding yourself if you think the GOPe Cheery flavor will be any different than the dem Blueberry after you swallow.
America is screwed.
