I like your analysis on Rush.

I also think he’s more focused on the two-legs of the stool - economic and foreign policy/military. I think even our ‘Conservative leaders’ have become corrupted by this culture that the church itself let slide into lukewarm irrelevance.

Perhaps he should read John Adams a bit more, the President who said that our Constitution was made soley for a ‘moral and religious people’ because only a self-governing people beholden to moral and religious principles have little use for a powerful government of men.

America is very much like Ancient Israel was during the period of the evil Judges - when the corruption and evil of the culture and people was even worse than that of the heathen nations around them. No decent leaders could be found among them, nor could righteous men have a hope of being chosen to lead the corrupt nation. Israel kept choosing wicked leaders that waxed worse and worse until they collapsed from within and were taken over by alien powers that brought the remnant of it’s citizens not killed outright into slavery.

History does repeat - and given the fact that NONE of our national blessings come from ourselves, I have to wonder that a nation and culture that no longer puts morality front and center has a snowball’s chance on the sun to keep the other two legs from collapsing into ruin.

I will be voting this November - but NOT for the Romney trap being set for us by the Ruling Class.

In fact, my mindset is far past November and fully expecting no change except from bad to worse - and that is where my attentions and efforts are now focused.

Survival.

I took the oath which I take seriously and I intend to keep it, especially since the opposition is a proven communist who is destroying our country. I am not going to enable a communist to finish destroying our country.

Rommney sucks, but I have no choice this year. I will keep trying to get a conservative in the next primary.

Damn. Did you even read my post? I said nothing about dumping him, I said he doesn’t know me. I suggest you take some refresher course in reading comprehension. Good gracious, the post was only one sentence long.

Same here. I didn’t vote for McCain. I voted for Palin.

And I don’t think Romney is supposed to win. It’s all a show.

It’s an election year. Rush always totally carries the water for republicans during election years. I can hardly blame him in this case, because I don’t know about everyone else, but I’d vote for Micky Mouse over 0bama.(Micky Mouse would actually be better than Romney too)

This election year doesn’t even feel like one to me. I’m about as enthusiastic when it comes to voting for Romney as I am about a trip to the DMV.

Rush seems to be simply saying that we have two choices for President, so if you don't like either, you can choose the lesser of two evils. And though some think Romney another sort of devil, he really IS our only choice to defeat Obama. And if he chooses Condoleeza Rice, he'll STILL be our only choice to defeat Obama. Neither are my favorites, but I'll gladly take either, or BOTH over Obama.

We can work hard to get conservatives in Congress to replace the profligate Democrats and RINOs, and it is they who will do the work of legislation that will cut taxes, and make changes in Federal programs like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Sallie Mae, and attempt to cut funding to programs like Planned Parenthood. It won't be either the President or the Vice President who will do that, so their philosophies won't come into play, other than to have give an overall idea.

Sitting this election out in a snit over Romney, or his choice of Veep, is frankly cutting off one's nose to spite one's face, because the lack of a vote for Romney only increases Obama's chance to be re-elected. And considering what Obama has done during the past four years, we simply cannot afford four more years of him as President.

"And I don’t think Romney is supposed to win. It’s all a show."

I think you very well may be onto something here. The entire thing seems as rigged as a professional wrestling match. The whole thing seems about as fake is it can be. Romney is just in there to take the fall. No matter what happens, we need enough conservatives to hold House seats to protect us from whichever of those liberals win.

To the average American reader to suggest that someone doesn’t understand them or doesn’t know them is to mean that you will no longer listen to them, why would you?

Excuse the hell out of me if I misunderstood your comment. Why would someone listen to a person that they feel doesn’t “know them”.

Mayhap if your post had been a little more detailed, this discussion would not be happening.

If Romney, or Obama wins, they will do it without my vote.

It is my vote, and I will cast or not cast it as I choose. If that makes someone think my not casting a vote is somehow a vote for somebody, they can blow it out their respective backsides.

There are a lot of conservatives that are sick ... really sick and disgusted with "Establishment Republicans" !!!
We will NEVER get anywhere supporting these back-stabbers!

Wait until you figure out Romney.
If we nominate Romney, Romney will lose.
On another thread, WhiskeyX's analysis is very good on



Very well described!
Maybe it's time we got some DINOs to copy this evil plan against Democrats.
But who would soil their name and credibility, to do such an evil thing against the real evildoers? "

“I love it when someone who’s been divorced 3 times and married 4 times talks about morality.”
You responded:
“Serial polygamy”

I guess we are all supposed to believe you really meant to say:
Serial monogamy

Freudian slip?

“And I don’t think Romney is supposed to win. It’s all a show.”

I do not know how so many folks - including Rush, cannot comprehend what is self-evident here, especially in hindsight of 2008 and the abject contempt the Ruling Class has shown Conservatives since Reagan left office.

I am literally laughing when I hear Levin and Rush exclaim bewilderment over Romney’s seeming sheepishness/unwillingness to hit back at Obama in ways that take the fight to him.

Especially considering the absolute no-holds-barred fashion the Romney campaign went after every Conservative running in this cycle. But for Obama - we get feigned opposition with no teeth from Romney.

I guess it would be bewildering if you actually fell for the show that the Ruling Class oligarchy has established in the chosen choice for Obama’s opponent.

>> Rush, you say “never compromise your morality”, which voting for Romney would do

In my calculation, fewer nascent lives will suffer from abortion with Republicans in 3 Houses notwithstanding the fact that Romney has indeed betrayed Life. My vote wouldn’t necessarily be for Romney, it would be for Life. A 2nd term for Obama would keep the Life threat elevated.

The risk is well distributed on the few options we have. Romney could certainly pull the Republican party Left, but the GOP could also lose both Houses in 2014 with an Obama 2nd term; Leftwing Media and Obama would own the national dialog denigrating the “uncooperative” House Republicans in a two-year campaign. An Obama victory would continue in a campaign momentum to rid DC of Congressional GOP control.

Despite our diverging expectations, there’s no indifference to Life.

Rush us about getting the current regime out of office. Why is that so hard for so many fools on here to understand. We are totally screwed as a nation if Obama is reelected. Easy to understand! Please stop with the foolishness! I would love to have Palin, Newt or Rush as our candidate but it is not happening this year. I never had a chance to vote for any other candidates since Mitt was the only one left by the time our primary came around in Kentucky but that is not stopping me from the ultimate goal, saving our country from its biggest enemy maybe ever, Barack Obama!

Without local support, the Ruling Class cannot exist — the constituency is at fault.

It’s going to take a couple of decades to turn this around, but it will require a lot of work at the local level.

We’d have to elect 400 conservatives in the house to get a majority to ACT conservative.

No, it isn’t a “stretch”. Niether Romney nor BHO2 support the 2nd Amendment.
