Perfect analogy Bigtigermike. Do you have a blog link for this so I can “like” and share it on social media?
Romney/Rino voters have battered wife syndrome.
Conservatives have thankfully recovered from that pathology.
The only scriptural suicide I can recall that was recorded as faithful was that of Samson. Try this parallel:
He was anointed by God.
He defiled his vow of purity and anointment most of his life.
With his last waking breath he redeemed himself and extracted a greater toll in his death than he had ever done in his life.
What say you, conservative brethren?
I voted Ross Perot the first time around- lost to Clinton and said I wouldn’t split ticket again.
The Repubs haven’t learned.
Is it time to take the temple down?
classic story of abuse...
Funny, reality shows liberals are women and metrosexual guys who actually HAVE Battered Women Syndrome.
Mega dittos...
The GOP-e are like steroid abusing summer rent-a cops to me.
>>...Conservatives fail to see their current circumstances...<<
I’m not so sure. I think Conservatives/Tea-Partiers *DO* recognize the current circumstances. I think they are simply outnumbered by all the moderate, registered-republican, gop voters who have eagerly lined-up to support and vote for Romney.
I voted for Newt. I have not sent a penny to the GOP since they ran McCain. I have returned all their begging letters with nasty-notes. I won’t support the GOP until several consecutive elections convince me conservatives are running the show.
the hard, undeniable, inescapable fact is that, as currently configured by our electoral process, there will only *EVER* be two “viable” candidates: GOP and DEM. If I want to defeat the dem, I *must* vote for the gop candidate. Any other vote lessens the odds, however slight, of the outcome I prefer this time — the unseating of Obama.
The fact that my general election vote may “please” the gop power-brokers is coincidental. I could *NOT* care less if the gop thinks my vote for the gop candidate is somehow an endorsement and/or indicative of supporting their dysfunctional, malfeasant, unethical politi-slut organization in any way.
The primaries are where we get a chance to defeat the GOP’s preferred RINO. We could not get it done this time. Romney got more votes & delegates. There’s nothing I can do about it now that will “teach the gop a lesson”. I’m not going to obsess over the loss. At this point, I want to keep fighting for my main goal: unseating Obama. But that’s just me. You vote your conscience and do whatever let’s you sleep at night. I might not agree with your decision, but I’m not about to hold it against you either. This election has turned (for some folks) into a purely emotional decision and I can’t say I fault them. Both sides have worked darned hard to make that happen. I’m just keeping my eyes on the target: dumping Obama. That’s all that matters to me.
We need to nominate, support & promote more conservative candidates -AND- to do whatever we can to bring more folks into the conservative fold -AND- do whatever we can to clean the RINO’s out of the GOP corp org-chart.
I know - easier said than done. But I just think the only way to beat them is to outnumber them by an un-cheatable margin. Right now, as much as I hate saying it, it seems pretty clear to me that the conservative/tea-party point of view does *not* make up the majority of the GOP electorate. The good news is that I think the conservative/tea-party point of view is spreading.
Not true.
We did not vote for Ford. We did not vote to reelect Bush I. We did not vote for Dole. We did not vote for McCain, even with Sarah Palin as bait.
AND WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR ROMNEY.
This article is bogus.
