Restoration of our great country will be a looonnnngggg process and we must start now, not wait until 2016.
If Obama succeeds in 2012, you will have yourself to blame.
I suggest everyone consider the story of Beckett(sp?) for example of how someone can rise to the job.
If we're supposed to be Beckett, should we consider how Beckett did not give into King Henry's demands?
Oh! You mean Romney is Beckett. Beckett didn't want the job. Romney has made a career out of jockeying and double talking his way in pursuit of the job.
Any way you look at it, your analogy sucks. Try again...or better yet...don't.
I am a Catholic. We Catholics knew Saint Thomas a Becket. He used his misspent youth drinking and whoring around in tandem with Henry II. St. Thomas did not seek to be Archbishop of Canterbury or even the priesthood. That was Henry's idea for him. St. Thomas repented his sins, was ordained a priest and consecrated a bishop. He as murdered for his subsequent virtues. He was a bishop of ours. This spineless leftist POS trash in GOP drag, Mitt Romney, is no Saint Thomas a Becket. When Romney repents as publicly as he has transgressed, and publicly and credibly renounces his entire political life of privilege, lies and corruption, get back to us even if he is still alive. Nice try. No ceegar.
I won't be had, now or ever. That means I will NEVER vote for Romney no matter WHO his opponent may be. If this country is going to be destroyed (and Romney's mere NOMINATION will accomplish exactly that), then it is going to be destroyed by Demonrats. There will then, at least, be an opposition major party. Meanwhile, I will vote for my fellow FReeper Tom Hoefling aka Eternal Vigilance for POTUS. If you say that he has a lesser chance than Romney of saving America, I will tell you and any others eager to vote Romney, that, if Tom Hoefling were elected, he would spare no effort to establish principle as policy and that, if, God forbid, Romney were elected, Romney and his fat corrupt co-conspirators would, of course, spare no effort to fatten their trust funds and destroy this nation. A POTUS cannot reverse the damage unless he/she is willing to try.
You know infallibly when Romney is lying. His lips move. He is the start of another potential unprincipled corruptocrat absolutely unprincipled "dynasty" of money grubbers and has five sons with square jaws and "business" backgrounds and no observable conservative principles or qualifications for office just like their dear old two-faced dad. Now that the Bush dynasty seems to be on the rocks and spent, Poppy Bush and wife Barbara of Planned Barrenhood want to pass the torch to a new dynasty of social revolutionaries.
Just what sort of payoff do you imagine those big money boys who fund Romney will expect in exchange for the mountains of money they have spent to destroy the candidacies of Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Santorum and Gingrich and to deter anyone worth nominating (like Palin) from running at all? There is in the water, the blood of the American republic and her people. The sharks who fund Romney are in full feeding frenzy. They had to hurry so that they could pick our bones instead of Comrade Obozo and friends getting that opportunity. We may as well elect Soros or Buffett or Gates. Each is a hell of a lot more of a businessman that Mittens ever dreamed of being. Of course, Soros is a foreign born communist (nbc of Hungary) unlike the others but, hey, why should that stop him from being POTUS?
IF Romney is the nominee and Obozo is re-elected, the constitution says that we CAN start to restore the republic starting in 2016. If Romney is elected, we cannot START the restoration until 2020. In either event, each and every person who is identified as a Romney backer, should have NO PLACE in the restoration effort without public humiliation and confession and penance and punishment.
I eagerly look forward to and will celebrate Romney's defeat, before the convention, if possible, at the convention if subsequently necessary, in the election if need be. Priorities: first destroy Romney and, IF and only IF that is achieved, destroy Obozo and the Demonrat anti-constitutional dictatorship.
Anyone who gives the slightest aid and comfort to Romney and his despicable campaign will, if Romney is nominated, be responsible for Obozo's re-election IF he is re-elected. Generally, attempted bank robbery can be punished as hard as actual and successful bank robbery. I have voted GOP in each and every POTUS election since and including 1968. I have held my nose for the last time.
Not only that, but I have also been where you are now and discouraged third party conservative voting. That is all over with as well until there is an actual Republican Party as well.
