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?

We each have to vote our conscience. I will not vote FOR a known abortionist/homosexualist statist. Love ya! Even if we do disagree on this point.

I have been finding myself praying that Mitt Romney have the wisdom and find the strength to simply withdraw from this race so that a suitable nominee can be found. I know most people believe it impossible for something like that to happen, but I think it’s possible that he may come to love this country enough to take such a step. It is also possible that he may come to see his defeat as inevitable and decide to let someone with a better chance take his place.

I know that I must do the right thing and just trust God.

By the way, I’m 100% certain that with a conservative majority in the house and senate we can and will impeach and remove and expel the treasonous usurping criminal conspiracy aka Obama, Biden, Reid, Pelosi & Co., including a whole passel of corrupt/usurping congress critters, government officials and judges/justices. Vote straight conservative up and down the ticket!

We are electing someone we expect to defend the constitution and our unalienable rights, including our rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Clearly, the abortionist/homosexualist statist Mitt Romney is not the one.

I don’t share your impeachment confidence..Wish I did.
I think Tea Party/ conservatives will do well in Texas.

Yeah, we know. Heads they win, tails we lose, right? Been that way for awhile now.

Ever hear of Einstein’s definition of insanity?

I won’t have it on my conscience that I am allowing Obamanation to rule 4 more years..I am therefore voting for Romney.

Good for you. Do I have YOUR approval to continue to post factual information about the mormon church that constantly proclaims anti-Christian doctrine and to vote my conscience and vote for Virgil Goode?

It's that freedom for thee and freedom for me thingy.

Dude; you desperately need to chill out. Stop reading and posting for a couple of hours. Go outside and enjoy the day, have a cold beer or maybe even a double scotch. We are not here to be your enemies; we are here to try to have civilized discussions of the facts and opinions conservative people have on a variety of topics. Enough of the profane language and threats. Every one here will; I am sure, vote their conscience in November.

I think tea party conservatives will do well in Texas and all across the fruited plains. Well, except the fruit infested coastal regions of California and a few other liberal/socialist/Marxist infested collective habitats, ie, big cities and college towns.

The proven winning strategy that we should be striving for is: We win, they lose.

But that takes fortitude and stick-to-itiveness ( http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stick-to-itiveness ). Bet you though that wasn’t a word.

Works for me.

Means the same thing as “eternal vigilance,” I’m pretty sure.

Glad we agree. ;0) There are quite a few who would not.

Let's hear it for FREEDOM.
WHich is an anathema to Mitt Romney and his Team of Saboteurs and STATISTS.

Mitt ROmney ALREADY imposed his agendae of gay marriage
and RomneyCARE/DEATH PANELS without a vote of the people.

When do PEOPLE have right to vote on such STATISM?

NEVER if Mr. RomneyCARE is the candidate. NEVER.

Furthermore, Mr. RomneyCARE does not allow primaries,
or even delegates to vote FREELY.
Why? Because Mr. RomneyCARE is a weak coward.
He must buy votes, and FORCE delegates to bow
to him.

NEVER. FREEDOM
Can you HEAR ME NOW? NEVER


FREEDOM

I haven't listened to the lengthy video, but if you read the notes that accompany the video, you will find they suggest that many of our country's problems are caused by undue Jewish influence in America. Maybe the video provides support for that view.
