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

Posted on 07/07/2012 1:58:57 PM PDT by Atlanticist.us

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'd rather see this woman as president instead of Obama or instead of Romney but that is not reality now:

"I want every God-fearing, liberty-loving American to go to the polls and vote their conscience. I want a turnout greater than 2010. I want the tea party rebellion of 2010 to explode and go viral in 2012. I want grassroots tea party conservatives to be voted into as many offices at every level of government that is humanly possible.

And if it is in accordance to God’s will then I pray that the new moral majority will drive out the godless abortionists, the homosexualists, the militant feminists, the whacko environmentalists, the statists, the socialists, the Marxists, the communists, the activist and internationalist “Rulers in black robes,” and all the corrupt crony capitalists, the evil doers and assorted enemies of God and Liberty from our government at every level and from all of our government and public institutions. I pray that we restore God and Liberty and sovereignty and freedom and self-rule and sanity to our great nation!!...

Vote ‘em OUT!! Recall them!! Impeach them!! Overturn them!! Repeal them!! Throw out the anti-liberty, un-American, unconstitutional evil doers and their corruption, depravity and filth!! Restore freedom and Liberty!!

We do not surrender, we reload!! And fight like hell!!"

Your thoroughly nasty posts FOR Mr. ROMNEYCARE
(author of DEATH PANELS) demonstrate exactly
how his team of backstabbers went after Gov. Palin,
her children, Sen. Thompson, Mr. Cain, the Speaker,
and anyone that might get in the way of
the Soros-Romney-Obama proTARP/Sharia Group.

As any reader will note, you claimed you will defend
your Master, the Author of STATISM and DEATH PANELS,
but —except for ad hominem (the Romney Way(tm))—
you are as mute as Mr. RomneyCARE makes the GOP moot.

Ineligible Romney

Romney BIG DIG

I think he actually has a good strategy: somewhat like Muhammad Ali’s “Rope-A-Dope” strategy. Obama keeps swinging for air and looking clueless (which no doubt comes naturally). Meanwhile, Romney doesn’t need to say very much, because Obama’s own words are usually enough.

Romney was the Rincracy’s ace-in-the-hole if ObamaCare cratered in the Supreme Court. Now that it has been upheld, they have no need for him.

They’ve got what they wanted. Romney is free to go....

That’s what you’re seeing here....

It looks like some FReepers resent the fact that free speech works more than one way...that those of us voting their conscience instead of being "pragmatic" and falling in line for Romney are fiends from hell and when we can't be shut down they vote with their feet.

Please just do the adult thing and change the channel. It’ll drive you nuts like the obsessive-compulsive anti-freeper crowd unless you follow the simple three step program below, guaranteed to break the FR addiction:

1) Log off.

2) Remove your FR cookies, your FR bookmarks, and do not click on any of the millions of google links back to FR no matter how alluring.

3) And don’t look back.

Thanks for the memories.

And in parting I’ll leave you with this message:
