I am beyond disappointed that the RINO Republican establishment has saddled us once again with a scum sucking moderate. Jim Robinson has expressed his non-support of mitt Romney in no uncertain terms. I wholeheartedly agree with his disgust.
The reason that the establishment wants Romney as opposed to a true conservative is status quo. The Republican establishment is just as guilty as mainstream Democrats. They are making money off a system that is fundamentally broken. Their only concern is who is steering a sinking ship.
However, there is one critical difference between Romney and Obama. It is a difference we cannot ignore. Barack Obama hates the united states of America. Barack Obama believes that the USA needs to be taken down a notch. Barack Obama apologizes for our history. Barack Obama believes that the core foundation of our country is rotten. Barack Obama believes that the "so-called founding fathers" we're Evil and to blame.
The Republican establishment may well have saddled us with the one piece of crap candidate who can actually lose to Barack Obama. I can't stomach the idea of voting for a left of center RINO like Mitt Romney.
However, mitt Romney does not hate America. There is no more pressing danger and threat to our country than Barack Obama in the hard-core socialist communist left wing.
I did not want George Bush. I did not want John McCain. I do not want mitt Romney. I am sick of the Republican establishment counting on me to vote for their mainstream moderate candidates simply because they know I will not abandon ship. In essence, they take true conservatives for granted.
We should not take our ball and go home just because we are not winning this time. There will be no third-party candidate. A vote for anyone other than that Romney come election time will be a vote for Barack Obama. I don't care how much I dislike Mitt Romney. And nothing anyone here can say can make something positively untrue true. Barack Obama and Romney are not the same. The one critical difference is that Barack Obama hates this country and secretly or not so secretly wishes to destroy this country and change its future for the worse.
We got stuck with Bill Clinton because of disillusioned conservatives who voted for Ross Perot. Surely we are smart enough people to learn from the past.
You are actively campaigning for Romney on a website owned by a heroic man who says he doesn’t want you to do that! What is the matter with you?
See ya Mr. .30 Carbine.
With Romney and a strong conservative congress we will at least have the opportunity to influence who gets appointed to the courts, like stopping Bush with his Harriet Miers suggestion. With Obama as president, we have absolutely zero opportunity to do so, and I don’t have the faith in the GOP congress to stand strong and vote down all Obama’s nominees all the time. Even if we do, he will simply disregard it and make recess appointments.
Whether we like it or not, the battle is in, and for the courts. Obama will make sure that all federal courts are ultra-liberal for the next generation at least. No chance of getting Roe v Wade repealed. The end of the 2nd amendment as we know it. States forced to recognize other states gay marriages. And so on.
Yes, Romney doesn’t have a strong record for appointing conservative judges, but if he is the nominee, and ultimately the president, then we can put all kinds of pressure on him to nominate conservative judges. With Obama, we can’t, and won’t. It is a crappy position to be in, and reason #1 that Newt should be president. But having a Republican of some sort as president is still better than having Obama, who will turn the federal judicial system into a communist rubber stamp.
I will be voting against Obama.
I disagree. Obama belongs in prison, I can’t say that about Romney, Not yet, anyway.
Amen Brother, this story hits the nail on the head.
It’s not just about the person who will sit behind the Resolute desk. We must not forget the President’s cabinet, his advisors, and others that influenced his political ideology ? For Obama we all have become familiar with names like;
Bill Ayers,
George Soros
Cass Sunstein
Van Jones
Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Frances Fox Piven
Reverend Write.
We are still in the Primary process, and if someone is still pinning their hopes on Newt, then by all means go for it and good luck. But comes Aug 27th when the GOP convention is in full swing, If Newt is not the nominee, they need to start thinking about the people Romney will bring into his administration, and who shapes his ideology. Do we want a whole new set of names or are we good for another 4-years with the names above?
I proudly stand with the other Cain, Bachmann, Perry, and now Santorum supporters that are in now in the fight for Anybody But Obama. I hope there is still room for us on FR, but I will not be shaken from my firm belief that we must send
Then you are one of those who fail to learn from history.
I don't like the choices either, but denying the reality and assuming a make believe fantasy that some elites are going to "learn a lesson" by you staying home and letting BHO win in November in naive and will be still more damaging to the country.
Obama will go on an all out spending spree, will not sign any Repub budgets therefore we will be in perpetual continuing resolutions to our ruin; He will continue to commit treason with our national secrets and treasure; He will continue to villianize the best industries of our nations; he will continue to staff his executive branch with die-hard communists and squash development through "environmental" concerns; He will continue to ignore/pander to/sympathize with the Islamo-fascist third world; He will continue to be seen as weak and exploitable by our adversaries.
I don't see any of this coming from Romney, no matter how much he loves looking at his hair in the mirror.

It won't happen with Mitt Romney running against him.
To the Members of the Log Cabin Club of Massachusetts:I am writing to thank the Log Cabin Club of Massachusetts for the advice and support you have given me during my campaign for the US Senate and to seek the Club's formal endorsement of my election. The Log Cabin Club has played a vital role in reinvigorating the Republican Party in Massachusetts and your endorsement is important to me because it will provide further confirmation that my campaign and approach to government is consistent with the values and vision of government we share. I am pleased to have had an opportunity to talk with you and to meet many of you personally during your September meeting. I learned a great deal from those discussions and many thoughtful questions you posed. As a result of our discussions and other interactions with gay and lesbian voters across the state, I am more convinced than ever before that as we seek to establish full equality for America's gay and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent.
I am not unaware of my opponents considerable record in the area of civil rights, or the commitment of Massachusetts voters to the principle of equality for all Americans. For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponent's record in this area. But I believe we can and must do better. If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.
We have discussed a number of important issues such as the Federal Employee Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA), which I have agreed to co-sponsor, and if possible broaden to include housing and credit, and the bill to create a federal panel to find ways to reduce gay and lesbian youth suicide, which I also support. One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue" military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation's military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.
As we begin the final phase of this campaign, I need your support more than ever. By working together, we will achieve the goals we share for Massachusetts and our nation.
Sincerely
W. Mitt Romney
Romney would not have canceled the F-22 program.
Romney would not have canceled the American space program.

Don’t be so sure. Given Romney’s track record as Governor, nothing would surprise me.
Sounds as if you’re going to pick up your marbles and go home. That is a tactic that not only aids the enemy but also betrays your allies.
One thing bothers me ....the Troll-OBots in here will now be focussed solely on dumping on Romney. I hate to admit this; but, lately, on this particular topic, it’s getting hard to tell FReepers from OBots. Is it just me? It must be really confusing to the average person who drops by for a read.
Hell no... I’m still voting.
And once again, here we are with the “gotta vote for this pathetic RINO because look at the alternative” bit. WHEN, pray tell, will that game end?
So, let me get this straight... NOT buying in to Romney's faux-conservative play-acting constitutes being a closeted O-Bot.
Got it.
That is exactly my point all the rants about this candidate or that candidate or about going the third party route are self defeating. The loudest rants come from those who refuse to look in the mirror and take some responsibility for the mess we now ourselves in. The volatility this primary cycle suggests how divided conservatives are and how willing they are to surrender to the liberals.
Lest we forget... in 2008, Romney couldn't even take down McCain, who lost in a landslide to Obama. So, how does THIS current arrangement make any sense whatsoever???
In Virginia, only Romney and Paul appeared on the primary ballot, with no write-in options. I'm not "owning" this problem.
If Romney wins the presidency, we may have a chance to throw him out in 4 years. If Obama wins, we may not even have elections any more. We will probably have CWII before this decade is over, Maybe sooner than later if Zero stays in office. We live in interesting times.....I will support Newt until he either wins it or is out of it.
I assume this was said as a joke. One of the most fervent anti-communists of the last century was Adolf Hitler, so it is obviously not the sole standard for selecting a good candidate.
When we the people start acting as adults and stop stomping our feet to get our way. I will gag as I vote for the GOP candidate but will find a modicum respect in the fact I at least did what I could to slow Comrade Obama’s mad rush to dictatorial socialism.
