In Case You Don't Like Romney... A Challenge To Every FReeper
email from friend

In Case You Don't Like Romney...

Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election …

“If Romney wins the nomination, as seems very likely, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who may have hesitation on that score, I’d just ask you to keep four things in mind:

1.. Justice Scalia just turned 78

2.. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year

3.. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August

4.. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago and has had cancer twice.

Whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.

If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you’re smokin’ something funky….”

So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didn’t get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can't win ... just imagine this possibility:

'SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ERIC HOLDER'

Did that get your attention!

You must have me confused with another poster. I’m not sure why you replied to me saying this. It seems not to fit me.

He hired a landscaper who had illegals, I'd be willing to bet every freeper who has hired a landscaper also had illegals on their job. Big deal. Come on, you are sounding silly.

Yes, the difference is we know Bambi, we know his whole administration is filled with mind numbed destructive Marxists, they have reeked destruction and will continue to do so if we let them get reelected.

You don't have to convince me that Romney was our worst candidate, nor do you have to convince me he isn't conservative, but you do need to face the fact that the answer is to give Hussein Kardashian the boot. We can't afford not to.

The rest is hyperbole.

The degree of destructive capacity between the two is a gulf so large it cannot be crossed.

My concern is that Romney and a Republican Congress (which will have a very difficult time opposing a Republican President) will institutionalize a lot of what is going on in this administration.

I wish there were real promises made by Romney that he would reduce the EPA and oppose any form of National Health Care and many other things, but thus far he has given little reason to trust he would do such things.

The way for Romney to win over conservatives is to make another contract with America addressing these concerns.

Romney will win the election not because he is a conservative, but because so many people are in fear of Obama that they will sacrifice their principles to push him over the top.

And, from a non-political and purely-spiritual perspective, I just wonder if that isn't exactly the irony that provides a good chuckle to that ancient serpent. Training mankind to fear mankind more than the Creator of mankind would be a play out his book.

If you were running for office, would you make damn sure you did not hire illegals/through a service or whatever? That’s not silly, that’s common sense. But it was his reaction to it. “I can’t be seen”, not that he had any problem with it.

He has no record of being a hawk on immigration. Nor did he do squat to stop illegals in Mass that I ever read about.

Vote for what you feel is right Lake, and so will I.

Wonderful post, PM. I too am a Calvinist and you have articulated rather well one of the strongest reasons for my decision to vote conscience and not fear this election: God is the one we all have to answer to, and he’s in complete control. There is some passage in the Scripture that describes it, something to the effect that when men plot against God, you really can’t call it a conspiracy, because it’s really just so much hot air. That’s not a direct quote, but you get the idea. God will do what he wants among the inhabitants of the earth, and no one can stop him. He only asks that we do what’s right, and hold tight to him when the storms rise. That’s my plan, and I’m sticking to it.

If you are voting for Romney you are not a conservative, sign up date doesn’t mean much.

Here is another way altura is liberal. Below are direct quotes from her.

Neither of my children are gay and both are very good people, but I can envision a scenario in which I would support gay marriage if one of my children were gay and wanted to marry.
I think support is the operative word. A lot of people don't care but are okay with it. So, even though I am not fervently opposed to gay marriage, I really don't care.

altura is a pro-Romney liberal if there ever was one.

Before you do FRiend, remember what Johnny Cash said in ‘The Farmers Alamanc’ (1991) “lies have to be covered up, TRUTH can run around naked”.

Don’t feel bad about it. She chose to say it on a public forum. She should be held to account for what she said. Besides, there are plenty of people you may have saved from taking her seriously.

Their ‘logic’ has me so blown away that I have a hard time trying to even forming a complete thought to counter something so asinine.

LOL! I hear ya, Bro FReeper!

Agreed. Trisham, you’re in the same company as CharacterCounts and Greyfoxx39, and I would say that’s pretty damn good company.

If someone says something nice about you, simply redouble your efforts into POing them. It’s good to have goals ;)
