Romney… Stand Up, Or Stand Down!
skipmaclure.us ^ | July 7 2012 | Skip MacLure

I’m seriously conflicted. I’m beginning to have flashbacks to the presidential race of 2008. There are some disturbing parallels between the candidacy of the hapless John “you can’t do it my friend” McCain and the present candidate, the anointed of the Washington Republican Establishment. It’s akin to the feeling I got when I realized that George Bush was anything but the conservative he positioned himself to be.

Americans have been watching with an almost preternatural intensity as this all too real drama plays out on our national stage. Mitt Romney ran for the nomination of the Republican Party like a junkyard dog… destroying candidate after candidate and devil-take-the-hindmost. It was readily apparent that he didn’t much care where the bottom of the swamp was either. Though many of us disliked his tactics… and they were short, brutal and to the point, we salved ourselves with the thought… “just wait for the campaign this summer and fall, Romney will chew up Obama and spit him out, we’ve got a tiger in our tank”.

Readers will remember that I was never that high on Romney. I saw the potential millstone that ‘Romneycare’ presented to the Republican effort to oust the Marxist Obama, as unfair as it may be. ‘Romneycare’ as it has been dubbed is, and was, nothing compared to the utter devastation that will be Obama’s legacy to this country should the healthcare law not be overturned.

Mitt Romney’s attempt to bring sanity to Massachusetts health care costs, through a state mandated health care system, was admirable in its aims. Romney should have known it would have been vulnerable to a Democratic state legislature which couldn’t wait to turn the law into a tax-and-spend opportunity, which was then followed by the election of a liberal Democrat governor after Romney’s departure who turned the law into something totally different than its original intent. What Romney did was to remediate some of the state’s onerous health care regulations. What Barack Hussein Obama has done is to enslave an entire nation to the false gods of liberal governance.

Romney has got to start listening to some different advice. From what I’ve observed, he should dump his advisers now. Whoever advised Romney to allow photo ops from ‘The Boathouse’ and ‘The Monster’ speed boat while the Anointed One is out campaigning, schmoozing senior citizens and sucking down brewskis with constituents, should be in some other line of work… period.

Romney has lost his nerve… or someone high up in his campaign has. Running from the fight is serving none of us well. No incumbent president since Jimma’ Boy Cata has been as vulnerable as Barack Obama. What’s infuriating me and many other patriots, at least according to the comments we get, and we get a bunch… Romney wants us to trust him to bring this country out of the darkness that is this ‘depression’. He wants us to fight for him. When is he going to fight for us?

I bet you all will be dancing in the streets when your Obama wins. Can you admit you want Obama to defeat Romney?

You want For Obama to decree to take our guns away like it passed the Dream Act Amnesty for illegals by itself?

You want Obama to give the UN power to tax us directly , to take our guns away and you want Obama to disarm our nuclear arsenal?

Democrat Obama’s record:Let in 4 million foreign immigrants.
Zero jobs created.5 trillion $ added in debt on every one of us.
Gave amnesty to illegals by decree against the will of Congress.
Sent our jobs, technology and factories to China.
With Obama care took away our freedom to choose doctors and added 13,000 pages of new government regulations to further burden businesses and to take away our freedom.
And yes rank and file democrats actually believe that the people who run the dept of motor vehicles are better suited to give us the cutting edge technologies and treatments to save our lives. democrats love being slaves.
Obama has done a million more Crimes against America and freedom that I don’t have room to post there.

Heard this monologue on Hannity from a Guest woman host. It was imo the most Amazing monologue I’ve heard, :

In this exchange there is only one of us that is supporting a pro-choice, pro-homosexual, gun-banning socialist.

And it isn't me.

No, it was not. He was simply pandering to the Democrats, which was a big part of his strategy to win the presidency.

I don’t support anyone.I just do what I can so that I and the U.S. and freedom can survive. Obama will kill America, freedom, and even the ability of many people to support themselves.

Well, then your prior post doesn't seem to make much sense.

No. Because that wouldn't be true.

I want America to defeat Obama and Romney.
