God Save Us from the Loud 'I'm Staying Home This Year' Conservatives

By Jim Geraghty

A few thoughts from the middle of the day . . .

God save us from self-professed "conservatives" who will announce they'll stay home on Election Day as a demonstration of their power.

Because as we all know, you become more influential in politics and government and public life by staying home and doing less.

....

Does the "I'm staying home" crowd apply this to everything in life? "I don't like the way the company is run, so I'm not going to work."

"Honey, I'm just not happy with your performance as a spouse, so I'm going to be less active in the marriage until you improve."

"Kids, I'm disappointed with your performance in school. Until you improve, I'm ignoring you."

The thing is, I wonder how often the "I'm staying home this year" crowd voted before. In fact, I wonder if they ever vote.

I don't understand the "I've never been more fearful for the future of this country, but I'm not willing to do anything about it" mentality.

Ronald Reagan is not walking through that door, folks.

...

I believe it. 3 days ago a Romneybot sang the praises of Ronneycare and told us we knew nothing. On FR a freeper endorsed Romenycare. People should let that sink in.

These frauds want liberalism. Let quads suffer and cancer patients die. they want their liberal and thats that. GOP abandons the fight? So? No biggie. No facts disuade them. No logic reaches them.

They want their lib, want him called conservative and want us to STFU and help them get it.

We’re -Not- gonna STFU but they can FOAD.

what you have just said is what i was trying to say...

you, sir, are correct

[neocon1984]

Liberal troll newbie alert.

A deeply embedded troll wo started reading the site 15 years ago and registered 10 years ago? This site used to have intelligent, well reasoned people. Now it sounds like a bunch of old (I'n 61) cranks who lost their union jobs.

[neocon1984]

Romney is a liberal Republican, but he is neither a crony capitalist (that was Perot and other rich Democrats) nor a sleaze bag, Put your thinking cap on. It may be deep in the back of your clothes closet.

My wife went over six months no doctor at one point. I’m disabled also but I don’t require the care she does. Actually I’m her caregiver and after almost 30 years I’ve seen them try to do it all. My last bout was over her Asthma inhalants. She has to us a neutralizer due to no diaphragm enough to use the crush powder type. Trying to get it billed required paperwork billing as the state did not have electronic billing for it. I went all the way up to the governors office and last year finally got it straightened out.

[Norm Lenhart]

I can relate. I have some serious health issues as well (Chrons Disease/Nerve damage from Roids to treat it) and spent a full 4 years with a lawyer just to get declared disabled after a lifetime raft of surgeries and one DOA on the table. And these idiots want to elect more of the morons responsible for the idiocy now destroying the whole system.

I also had a kid leave the USAF after 8 years as the liberalism became overwhelming in the brass. And not one Republican wants to do squat but let obama send them to Ebolaville or to Muzzieland to get slaughtered with no shoot ROEs. OK maybe 2 but the leadership there sure as hell wants them to get killed for political gain.

And we are supposed to ignore all that stuff just so cheshire frauds can feel good about winning.

Not happening.

[Norm Lenhart]

Yea because what he did to conservatives like Palin via Schmitt and Wallace was pure class personified.

[Elsie]

Your logic is impeccable.

But...

Most voters do NOT use it when selecting whom they'll vote for.

If I am in a plane, and the Captain comes on the intercom and says, "Due to pilot error; WE'RE GONNA CRASH! Our engines have stopped and we'll impact the ground in 10 seconds!"

Then we hear the CO-pilot grab the mike and say, "WAIT!!! I can pilot this a LOT better than him.

I predict we'll hit the ground in 20 seconds!!!"

Now I have a decision to make... Vote for the co-pilot to continue the flight; or spend the remaining time praying.

[JRandomFreeper]

You can KMA. I am a conservative, not a republican. I won't vote for a liberal. Especially a liberal republican.

[JRandomFreeper]

I won't vote for a liberal republican. You can sell that mess somewhere else.

Candidate C: Romney (Republican Democrat #2 Party)<<

Redefine is right!

Romney is a weak Rino.

One who cannot even discern that his chosen religion is a damnable heresy.

I, for one, do NOT want someone who cannot think clearly leading MY country into the future.

[Elsie]

You still have not shown us any viable conservatism from Romney. Where is it?

Have we already forgotten the leaked (allegedly) memo from a few years back??

Office of First President & Living Prophet®:

November 8, 2012

Fellow MORMON Freeper Christians!!

 

I must apologize and ask for forgiveness from you all.

 

As you know, we at Headquarters NEVER tell you pew warmers how to vote. It says so right in our press releases. Anyway, we were ALL thrilled to the max when there were two – TWO! – MORMONs being touted in the primaries: Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman.

 

Talk in our upper chambers high above SLC was how our gods were favoring us with these men; who had prepared their entire lives for an opportunity to save this Nation; which so badly needs guidance: OUR guidance even! So naturally, I and the other twelve analyzed and discussed the situation.

 

Consensus was that the voters should listen to the inner urging and vote for the one they wanted; but that seemed to be leaving WAY too much to chance.

 

I decided, that since I am the ONLY man on earth that can hear GOD’s voice, that I would pray for wisdom and clarity in the matter.

 

I hadn’t used the fleece in a while, so I questioned GOD with a test. A paper, with Romney on one side and Huntsman on the other was to be placed by the air conditioning vent high above my desk in the sumptuous office the Full Tithers have provided.

When the air would kick in later in the evening, while I was home, the paper would be blown down and whomever GOD wanted would then be visible on the upper surface.

 

As you can probably guess, when I came in the next day, the paper had landed on my desk, with Mitt’s name on top.

Last night, I was staying late, praying to GOD about how it was even possible that Mitt lost, when the janitorial cleaning crew came in. Being surprised to find me here, they apologized for interrupting me. I said to them, “It mattereth not, as I was about to leave anyway.”

 

As I was going out the door, the foreman of the crew just happened to mention that my office is ALWAYS so neat and tiny, never anything out of place, that they barely have to do anything to tidy up. Then one of the sweepers said, “Except that time in the spring when we came in to clean and found a paper with Huntman’s name on the floor by your desk. We put it back on your desk and left.

 

 

Tommy M.

 

PS Keep praying that Huntsman will add an “H” to his name. Jon looks so dang effeminate!

 

Onward to 2016!!!

[Elsie]

I find it accurately describes how the Republican-party wishes to be thought of, being that they are statists.

Count me as one who will no longer be deceived....as Proverbs states - “As a dog returns to it’s vomit, so fools repeat their folly.”

Our country is sick.

The Doctor has a cure.

How long will we absolutely REFUSE to take it?

 

 

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

Perot gave us the Clintons.

And GOD 'gave' the Jews a king.

This site used to have intelligent, well reasoned people.

Never fear; as I'm still here.

;^)

[Elsie]

Meanwhile; back to this thread's title: God Save Us from the Loud 'I'm Staying Home This Year' Conservatives

I have to ask; why should HE?

---

The list of this Nation's sin is long, and, if I should list them, I'd likely get called on the carpet for having the audacity to do so.

"Woe to those that call good, evil; and to those who call evil; good."

dear master Republican,

y’all left me, agin’.

k.m.a.

[SoConPubbie]

A deeply embedded troll wo started reading the site 15 years ago and registered 10 years ago? This site used to have intelligent, well reasoned people. Now it sounds like a bunch of old (I'n 61) cranks who lost their union jobs.

So I wonder who you think is intelligent and well reasoned; those recommending conservatives to quit fighting for their dearly held principles or those arguing to fight on?

Nevermind, that was more of a rhetorical question than anything.

Those you state are intelligent and well-reasoned are nothing but moderates surrender monkeys.

[SoConPubbie]

Romney is a liberal Republican, but he is neither a crony capitalist (that was Perot and other rich Democrats) nor a sleaze bag, Put your thinking cap on. It may be deep in the back of your clothes closet.

Not a crony capitalist?

I want some of what you are smoking!

Pull your head out of the sand and start paying attention.
