I never would have guessed a few months ago that Romney would run as conservative campaign as he has. He has developed into the best Republican candidate since Reagan. As much as I hate to admit it, Ann Coulter might have been right about him being the candidate with the best chance of defeating Obama.
I still expect Romney to disappoint conservatives on some issues. But, I don't believe he would have run so strongly on conservative principles if he didn't plan on following through on a conservative agenda.
He might just surprise us all and be the most conservative President since Ronald Reagan.
I have many reservations about Mitt Romney. And in spite of every one of them, voting for him tomorrow will be one of the easiest things I’ve ever done in my life.
good luck with that...
It takes an honorable person with lots of integrity to admit a change of position. I appreciate your honesty. To me you stated the key reason that I am voting Romney/Ryan....we are in a state of clear and present danger and the country hangs in the balance. That is good enough for me as a reason
And a vote against O marked as ROMNEY/RYAN works just as well too
all against each other ??? more like everybody vs the straight white CHRISTians...
oh well, we can all play a lil cowboys and muslimes, or alamo, or maybe even a bit of smear the queer come wednesday...???
even as obviously as bambam has tipped his hand and blown this campaign, its still 0-51/mittens-48...with 99% precincts reporteing...saw that on the *news* the other day, and still bet thats close to the *official* count...
I voted for him already (absentee), and though it was originally to be a vote only to cast the Marxist out, I'm actually feeling positive about the vote FOR Romney now.
I know there will be disappointments if he wins, but I can handle disappointment any day compared to the nightmare of waking up every day to some new outrage Bambi has perpetrated on us all.
In the end it was a no brainer.
I don’t know. Can’t argue with anything you posted. But, compared to previous times, I’m strangely passionless about the election, in all honesty. I should be so wildly motivated, given that Obama has been the most evil, destructive force inflicted on this country in my lifetime, by an order of at least tenfold. Two reasons I’m guessing. At this point the country seems so ridiculously unsalvageable, as it sinks further and further into deep economic, moral and cultural decline... it just makes the political scene seem so laughably moot.
Then there’s Romney, while obviously a tremendous improvement, is still someone I can’t really say I trust. Especially on key issues of paramount importance to me. After the past few years of being so burned by the GOP, from Bush pushing his horrific amnesty agenda, to the backstabbing of Palin, to the nominations of the most liberal Republicans for office, I’ve tended to lose all my decades-old faith and allegiance to the Republican party that formed during Reagan’s era. There’s a deep disconnect and a deep distrust I never had before. Makes things rather miserable, actually. But I’ll vote.
Much more keen on and more invigorated by grassroots activities like tea-party rallies and Chick-Fil-A protests!
Fair enough...
Kazan, those are good thoughts. I don’t want to criticize.
I do want to caution you though. Arnold Schwarzenegger ran a very good campaign in California, from a fairly Conservative point of view.
When elected he ran from that campaign like a scalded dog.

FReepers and Tea Party Patriots:
We’ve been waiting 4 long, insufferable, hellatious years for this day.
We’ve anguished over the lawlessness of this president.
We’ve feared for the futures of our children and grandchildren.
We were astonished when this president brazenly attacked our religious freedoms, pillaged the sacred public purse, and denigrated our small businessmen and servicemen.
He aims to steal this election.
The time has now arrived.
This will be our finest hour.
The 2010 midterms was just the initial skirmish of this death match.
Saddle up!
We ride at dawn.
Why are half of the heads in the pics photoshopped?
I’ve driven by Dixville Notch, but never stayed at The Breakers (the resort whose owner got Dixville incorporated as a township or whatever).
I think the only voters in Dixville are the owners and employees of The Breakers who actually live within the resort. I guess their staff is more liberal nowadays than it was in the 1980s (President Reagan got 93% or so of the vote there in 1984).
Are they?
If Romney wins, time will tell.
The Northern Mariana Islands are sure taking their sweet time counting the votes.
