Elections have consequences - we were warned
June 26, 2015 | Self

This is exactly why, when conservatives sit on the sideline awaiting the 100% pure candidate, we damage ourselves. Election have consequences and this is one - the ability to select Supreme Court Justices who will sit for life. Look at the ages of Obama's picks - 55 and 61. They are not going anywhere for years.

Abortion, gay marriage, assaults upon Christianity... and we dare to sing God Bless America. Why would he bless us when we spit in his eye.

People will stay home if the GOP doesn’t nominate someone is at least somewhat conservative. Romney was NOT. Trump is NOT.

So the question is are the my-way-or-the-highway purists who sat home and pouted in 2008 and 2012 going to further our downfall by doing the same thing next year?

Or are "conservatives" who perpetuate the problems the movement faces going to get their way and nominate another unelectable mushy moderate, giving us the last kick over the edge into the abyss?

And then come crying to FR about how "we lost the country"?

We tried it your way. It didn't work.

No their way worked exactly as they intended it to work. it got more liberals into power. And it used FR and other right wing websites to help that happen.

As long as you keep compromising with the left, you move left and you move left. You will never “slowly work back to conservative” by moving left over and over and over.

“My way or the highway purists” are the RINO’s who vociferously fight against conservatives

NORM: “That’s resulted in a net fail over 30 years.”

C’mon, you’re avoiding the key question here.

Of course, voting over 30 years for imperfect candidates hasn’t helped things at all.

But if all conservatives did as you did (sit out elections because you have the choice between a RINO and an evil Marxist), the past 30 years would have been 100% worse than it is even now. Get it?

The real question you need to ask yourself is do you want someone who is 100% evil (Obama) or someone who doesn’t have the exact values you want, but has a lot of them where it counts (e.g. free market capitalism and strong foreign policy). You cannot argue that Romney didn’t have a strong kick-ass economic policy.

The debate is clearly over whether the world would be in such disarray if Romney was president and not Obama. Obama takes the cake.

See my post #118 and watch the vid.

There’s still time to change your mind and not be so obstinate about voting to vote AGAINST the worst candidate.

Romney was too far right for most voters, they voted the Marxist in a second time. The country has moved even further left. I don’t like the political reality but it is the reality.

Unfortunately, as you can see on this thread, there are many who will never stand up for principles - instead they argue we should compromise at every step. They think if only we moved left enough, conservative will win somehow.

Compromise+Move Left+Compromise+Move Left+____________= Conservatism!!

*shrugs*

Agreed about Bonehead & McConnell, but you have to admit it could be worse if we had Michael Moore and/or Black Panthers in their place.

As for Roberts (appointed by W), I truly think he was somehow threatened by the Regime. Or they have some dirt on an affair he may have had and threatened to destroy his family life. His reversal was just too out of character. Prob not Bush’s fault.

Indeed. Look how many voted for a leftist. Mitt.

—”You committed category error. There are no key questions.”

Norm, now you’re being unreasonable because you have no counter-argument. That IS the topic of this thread (consequences of elections).

I have no more to say to you.

Romney would appoint leftist judges, we would still get ObamaCare and we would still have gay marriage forced down our throats.

Romney would be about as bad as Obama

............

I want to vote FOR someone, not against someone. Give us someone to vote FOR.
