> And I just won’t vote for someone from MA. That state is evil.
I am no Romney fan. No, I am not.
However, would you prefer 4 more years of Chicago commie thug politics, or the soft socialism of a Romney?
Obama lies to your face.
Romney stabs you in the back.
You decide.
I’ll worry about that when he gets the nomination.
I’ll take the chicago thugs. The longer they are around the more pissed off everyone gets at liberals in general. It’s a race between the populace getting angry enough to do something decisive and the destruction of the country.
With romney we get the death of a thousand cuts.
“However, would you prefer 4 more years of Chicago commie thug politics, or the soft socialism of a Romney?”
This is actually a very good question, and I suspect it may be on the minds of many thinking conservatives.
Suppose Romney does get the nomination. Then what? Will he be Obama’s Reagan? That is, will Romney undo the damage Obama has done and set this nation back on a positive course? No, clearly not.
Is Romney much different than Obama? Probably not. Romney embraces the worst of Obammunism, including socialized medicine (taking from the haves and gifting the have-nots), as well as embracing the Marxist fairy tail of global warming. Heck, Romney even helped invent Obamacare.
So what to do? Vote for Romney? Vote for Obama? Vote for some 3rd party loser? Not vote?
I personally am inclined to vote for Obama, because Obama got us in this mess with his rampant and deliberately destructive socialism. I say let him finish the job. Let him and his party own his and their legacy forever. Let the people of this country make no mistake about what Democrats are all about and what they really do when they rule.
In future elections, at least for a generation or two, the choices will then be clear based on past results. Hopefully our people will have learned their lessons and will choose prosperity over tyranny. If not, then unfortunately for we who work and think and know better, the majority will deserve the government they select. And for you and I? Then it’s time to start a new country within this country. It’s time to select a few good states and migrate there en masse and take over. It’s time to go Galt.
The soft socialism (or "compassionate conservatism") of Bush gave us Dem control of Congress, followed by Obama.
Two years of Obama produced conservative control of a lot more states after the 2010 elections.
We cannot afford a candidate who does not enthuse the Republican base. We cannot afford to have any Republican stay home in 2012.
