You need to sober up or take a break for a while.

Where was I? Back here at a newspaper doing my damned best to try and make sure the Dems that ran it didn’t get more of you killed.

And I have a daughter that spent her own time there. A lot of it.

And When you can point out where electing your problems is the way to go, do it. Until then, all YOU are doing is playing ‘internet warrior’ defending a POS liberal.

I didn’t ask about your girl tough guy. I asked about you. YOU got Obama re-elected. On behalf of those of us going forward for you-—thanks.

Pure enough?

A man who spent hundreds of millions to overcome his life of abortion support and promotion, who after winning the GOP nomination came out again as pro-abortion and against the GOP pro-life platform and who then ran pro-choice ads in Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin, and then lost those three states?

Well tough guy. I tried to up twice and they refused twice on a medical. So would you rather I sat home or did what I could to help?

And you are still defending and HELPING screw the country you fought to defend. Why? Why do you insist on backing the very kinds of, some of the very people that got so many killed?

your liberal Republicans stand there and do nothing while Obama loses Iraq and you want more of them?

I re-enlisted after 9/11 after an 18 year gap in service. I spent a total of 2 years deployed.

I will continue to actively work to politically destroy liberal republicans, in either the primary or the general election.

The GOP needs to put up a conservative candidate, or we'll wind up with 8 years of Hillary. And that will be the liberal GOP's fault.

By conservative, I would settle for someone that matches the republican party platform. Romney didn't.

Thanks in advance for Hillary, newsman. And yes, I’m on my 5th deployment. Romney wouldn’t have sold us out. And don’t give me this “cyst on my ass” excuse. The Army takes everyone.

Well they didn’t. Explain that.

And if you want a lib don’t be shocked when your tough talk impresses me not at all.

LOL, I talked to recruiters three different times but they said I was too old.

I guess my two honorables will have to suffice for me not voting pro-abortion and pro-gay military, and Boy Scout leaders, all Mitt Romney’s positions.

Maybe if Mitt had decided to actually campaign people would have come out to vote for him. If he can’t even bother to make an attempt to win the election, why would you put the blame on anyone else for his lack of effort and the subsequent results.

The only people Mitt will campaign against are conservatives. Marxists, communists, socialists and liberals like Obama are his friends. He would not dare campaign against them.

Romney would have been a good president. Not my first choice. Not even close. But he would have been good.

Good for whom?

Big Business?

The Chamber of Commerce and their Amnesty plans?

He certainly would not have been good for either conservatives or this country long term.

During his campaign he:

1. Supported Abortion
2. Supported the Gay Agenda
3. Supported portions of Obamacare and wanted to install his RomneyCare(Another form of Socialized Medicine) in all 50 states.
4. Did not have any policies that were supportive of limited Government.

After he lost, just recently, he came out in favor of Amnesty, A.K.A. Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

So just who do you think he would have been a Good president for?

Romney wouldn’t have sold us out.

And how do you know that?

Romney has a storied history of being on one side of a position before he gets elected and then taking the opposite position either after he gets elected or loses the election. Two recent examples:

1. He said he was Pro-Life at the beginning of the year at CPAC, on August 27th, after winning the nomination, he stated he has always supported Abortion for Rape, Incest, Life, AND HEALTH of the mother.
2. During the campaign, with respect to Illegal Immigration, Romney stated:
"The answer is self-deportation, which is people decide they can do better by going home because they can't find work here because they don't have legal documentation to allow them to work here," he said. "And so we're not going to round people up."

The former governor explained: "The way that we have in this society is to say, look, people who have come here legally would, under my plan, be given a transition period and the opportunity during that transition period to work here, but when that transition period was over, they would no longer have the documentation to allow them to work in this country. At that point, they can decide whether to remain or whether to return home and to apply for legal residency in the United States, get in line with everybody else. And I know people think but that's not fair to those that have come here illegally."
After he lost, just recently, he came out strongly for Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

So my question to you is, why would you trust the words of a man whose 2nd nature is to lie to you?

So Bethelgrad, let's say Romney won or wins, you voted for him, and it's two years into his term and he's using a Republican administration, as a Republican leader, to advance and implement all the things he buys into, such as homosexual anti-discrimination laws, global warming "carbon" rules, government-run health care with on-demand abortion, anti-gun, pro amnesty agendas?

You voted for it, bethelgrad, so would you be here owning it? Or would you be here whining, "Don't blame me! I voted against [Hillary/Democrat Nighmare du Jour]!"

It's out of your control and it's out of my control. Americans want and need something to vote for. Just because you don't care what you vote for as long as it's "against" Obama, doesn't mean the rest of us are that blind.

If Americans reject Obama, why wouldn't they reject Romney? A lot would just as soon stay home. Voting "against" is for ninnies. It always fails, it always pulls left, but there's always a carrot at the end of the stick held far off to your right, so you don't notice your leftward gait.

People like you got Clinton elected twice because Bush and Dole didn’t match your level of conservatism.

I voted for Dole and Bush in both of those. But loving American patriots got Clinton elected twice on a plurality. Most Americans wanted a different guy. It made Clinton weak. He ended up being impeached. That's a fact.

Conservatism ADVANCED under Clinton, because he was over-run. If Bush or Dole had won, what would have kept the Republican party from veering left?

So the only reason you think Mitt is a good guy is because you hate Obama.

Is that about it? That's why you're a Republican? Because of a skinny Democrat fraud? Purely cosmetic reasons, then?

What's the main philosophical difference between Republican and Democrat, would you say? In a nutshell?

What this comes down to I think, isn’t so much that these people actually believe the things they say, it’s that they don’t want their feet held to the fire for the things they SAID about the severe conservative last time. They are so invested in the hell they spewed at conservatives during the last election, they would certainly lose face by admitting it.

So like they try bulling their way through it and shouting down/attacking and otherwise attempting to shame people into backing down because as we all say in 12, it worked against a lot of people.

All the GFY comments, the pictures of Yosemitie Sam on a dragon (still can’t figure out the ‘logic’ of that one), the ‘you support Obama” comments etc. are the same things by the same crew we saw last time.

TLDR version: They situational ethicists refusing to admit they were wrong. The proof of Romney’s record and words is/are there for all to read. Denying it is meaningless. He is what he is.
