Notice how the left NEVER does this BS. Remember all those supposed outraged Hillary voters bitter from the primaries?

The so called PUMAS? Guess what - they all voted ZERO and we got the worst president of all time akin to Thulsa Doom from Conana the Barbarian

“Liberal Obama would be a lame duck with the GOP firmly positioned against him.”

Dont make me laugh. Do you really think Mr Executive Order is going to spend the next 4 years as a lame duck...doing nothing? You’re delusional.

Let’s get the communist muslim thug out of the WH and push MR to the right as much as possible.

Amen. Thank you for stating it so succinctly. Someone will be taking the oath next January. That person will be making Supreme Court nominations and setting the foreign policy and domestic policy in a very critical time. Anyone in a swing state who does not get Romney and other conservatives in office at this time is not an ally. They are working for the enemy. Those in the situation of sitting in solid red and blue states can vote on principle in the Presidential election and support conservatives in the House and Senate, the rest of us have to be practical.

America needs a CONSERVATIVE POTUS

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

Agree that America needs a conservative POTUS.

Can you enumerate the process to get that POTUS starting from the position that we are concurrently in?
A few suggestions of the process would be helpful. Awaiting your plan.

Take care

Larry Kudlow was on John Batchelor last night and they were discussing this thing reported by Stanley Kurtz about Obama plan to rob the suburbs.

Frightening.

So now it’s getting down to if a person doesn’t vote for Myth they don’t have any skin in the game and receive hand outs? I for one do have to make payroll as I try and scratch a living from the dirt. These economy destroying actions of this regime have been very difficult to deal with let alone 2 years of drought. These idiots want to take my water and dictate what I can and cannot do with my land. I still will not vote for a man of Romney’s record.

Finally - for all those bitching about Romney - maybe Y’all should have united behind Santorum, Newt, or Bachmann and not split your votes.

The candidates didnt help either. I’m tired of hearing Mitt was selected not elected. Just to refresh everyone’s memory the rest of the candidates were busy clawing at each other instead of trying to defeat Mitt. Even at the end when Newt could have made a real difference, Santorum refused to step aside. Mitt wasnt my 1st 2nd or 3rd choice but as mature adults, we now rally behind the candidate.

Obama is very frightening. I see the evil in him. I dont understand how so many on this site cant see it and view Mitt as more of the threat. It’s insane.

I hear your anguish though I am not one that tends the earth, similar tradesmen though that I take the earth and make concrete with it.

And my business is nearly over the edge of survivability.

All I can do is be very watchful, make no mistakes, keep the equipment clean and in running order, and just keep the expenses to the barest minimum.

I have no heart, no desire to get all enthused about any lackluster candidate, too busy just trying to survive, but should somebody throw some dough my way I could find time to get all “activised”.

Obama not accountable to the voters for a another election is beyond frightening. He will have total control to burn this nation to the ground.

From an Obama classmate

By Wayne Allyn Root Barack Hussein Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S.. Economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.

I have not posted on this argument yet but as I do so I have this bizarre ‘feeling’ of ‘coming out of the closet’ as a conservative in a conservative forum.
***Weird feeling, isn’t it? I’m not sure JimRob is aware of just how many CINOs are operating on this website.

“This is why the people claiming piety and holy status by giving Obama a second term need to really consider the consequences of their actions above and beyond their hatred for Romney.”

It’s ridiculous, really. Politics and personal morality are separate, and you put both at risk by mixing them as they do.

According to the folks to which you refer, a Theocracy would be the ultimate ideal.

Politics is ultimately about an ugly winding path of compromise and deal-making until you achieve as much of your ultimate goal as is possible.

Morality either is or isn’t.

The policy of this site is now to mix politics and morality for no other apparent reason than because Romney is Mormon, and some folks just can’t stand Mormons for their own reasons that make no sense from the political goal that should be paramount.

Maybe he's fully aware the conservatism is not a doctrine.

No, wait. Liberals do what we just can’t seem to do, since we’re so high and mighty. They circle the wagons, we’re too busy in a circular firing squad. Hold out for that perfect (non-existent) conservative, no matter what!
Right.


Hard not to notice..Libs really DO circle the wagons while we piss in the wind upholding our principles by letting others do the voting to get rid of obama. I am voting for R&R. My business is hanging by a thread, my mortgage is underwater and have never missed a payment, but if obama gets in again it’s all over for me. I will have to give up and go on obama’s welfare. There will be nothing left to fight for.

This election is about Rescue and Recovery - not a judgment of morality on peoples’ souls.

This is almost like when you hear about people who deny their dying children any medicine for religious reasons and then claim holier than thou status afterwards.

Not this year - the stakes are far too high.

“Not this year - the stakes are far too high.”

Agreed. This isn’t a hold-your-nose year for conservatives because the candidate stinks, this is a hold your breath year so we don’t drown in a communist cesspool.

The premise you are sick of many of us firmly believe.
***Argle bargle.

stealing directly from Kent

Once you’ve finally managed to define “conservative” downwards to the point where all it means — literally, the ONLY thing it still means — is “Not Obama”: then you’re no longer part of any coherent, principled or intellectually defensible political ideology.

All you’re doing, at that point, is taking part in an imbecilic, nation-wide version of “Shirts Vs. Skins.”

Which is absolutely fine. For children.

I’ve seen so deplorably many FReepers, on this thread, proudly fetishizing their fears; maniacally attempting, literally, to OUT-DO their fellows in some freakish, Dodo-esque attempt to come out (ultimately) as Craven Coward Numero Uno.

(”I fear The Kenyan so impossibly much, I’d vote for C’Thulhu and all his assorted Elder Gods, instead! Booga-Booga-Booga!” “If you wouldn’t gleefully chop your own grandchildren up into mincemeat — and then fry up and messily gobble the remains — in order to vote for Mitt Romney, then YOU DON’T FEAR OBAMA ENOUGH TO LOVE AMERICA AND *ARRGLE*BLARRGLE*AAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE — !!!”)

I’ve never seen sweaty, bug-eyed cowardice — unalloyed and unabashed — elevated, by a delusional few, into an actual exemplar of “patriotic reason” (or whatever), before this thread.

Would that I had gone quite a bit longer still, before being accorded such an opportunity... particularly on Free Republic.
