No F’n way.
Romney is lose from 1 to Z.
I have posted here before, that, in 1980, in my first presidential election (as a 20 year old)I voted for some obscure guy from California. His name was Ronald Wilson Reagan.
In 1984 it was a no-brainer. Reagan was re-elected by a landslide.
We tried hard to transfer that energy to GHWB in 1988. He sure was NO Reagan. He turned out to be a first class gun-grabber. But his name was listed again in 1992, vs. Billy Clinton. Clinton was horrible. I held my nose for the second time, and pulled the GOP lever. Heck, he had to be better than freakin’ Clinton.
Of corse Clinton won that 1992 election. I was not that surprised. Heck, was THAT the best candidate we had?
I was up for the 1996 election. No freakin’ way would this nation foolishly elect Bill (and Hillary) Clinton a second time. So who did the GOP king-makers run against Billary? Bob Dole! For the third time, I held my nose and pulled the GOP lever. Like a good soldier (and the Navy vet that I am). Predictably, Mr. Dole never serverd in the white house.
The 2000 election was a bit different. (And yes it took the ussc to pick a winner). We had such high hopes for GWB. He was so strong on defense. But it turned out, so weak on immigration (”See you at the signing”)
I held my nose for the 5th time in 2004. I voted for GWB agin. He was not the ideal candidate. But heck, it said GOP next to his name.
2008 was scary. It almost seemed that the “beltway boys” had promised McCain it was “his turn”. “You get to run this time. We will see to it”. I held my nose for the 6th time. What other choice did I have? Obama? No way.
My reason for bringing up all this nostalgia, is that it is happening all over again. We are being told that Mitt Romney is OUR candidate. He has been chosen by the (invisible) king-makers. And YOU WILL VOTE FOR HIM. Or else Obama will win.
So now, the “beltway boys” are again telling me who I can vote for (with a big assist it seems from fox news). My point is that, NO MORE! I will NOT simply pull the lever that says GOP just because it is “better” than Obama. Romney? That is better? Laughable. NO MORE!
If the GOP can not even put a candidate on the ballot that is a conservative.... Than my “good soldier” days are done. Period. I will not hold my nose again.
As a life long Conservative, I will make a vow. I will NOT vote for Mitt Romney. End of story....
Bravo!
As I remember it, the accusations of the tea party having lost the Senate, by choosing candidates that were too far out of the mainstream, came first, by the RINOs, and then the countercharges that Rove lost us the Senate by tearing down the tea party candidates.
It doesn’t really matter which accusation came first. We should just take a lesson from it and not do the same thing again. Whatever that means . . . Maybe sensing the flow a bit better and not letting ego or commentator-itis get in the way.
Maybe she is nuts like they said?
I think you are correct, and not only that but she and the other nutcase, Sharron Angle cost us two Senate seats! Neither of them have both oars in the water.
No sweat. My first vote ever was for Richard Nixon. I was in college and my mother sent me everything I needed to vote by absentee ballot.
But anyway, I hear you. I am sick up to here with candidates deemed "safe" by the freaking GOP establishment and its newsroom enablers. Heck, I normally wouldn't give Newt the time of day, but since the scumbag establishment seems to hate him so much, I am giving him serious consideration.
The friend of my enemy is my.. no. The enemy of my friend is.. The friend of my.. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Yeah, that's it. Or something..
I gave her money, but I’m not upset.
She can endorse Romney but I wouldn’t.
And Karl Rove really makes me angry for all the moderate crap he’s dished out over the years to “win elections”.
“Win elections” all you want to, Karl, but I guess you don’t give a rip about bankrupting the country with more government and spending in the process.
when you run for the US Senate as a limited gov’t person and endorse a person who wants more gov’t in your life this is what you get. As Rush always says when you enter the arena of ideas you better be ready for whats coming
What a cheap two-dollar prostitute. So much for her conservatism.
Insults are well-deserved for a sell-out moonbat RINO hooker like her.
just as Scott Brown was the teaparty candidate in Mass-of-2-$h!t$....and turned out to be another moderate liberal.
She said Romney supported more Tea Part candidates the any of the others, she said he was not afraid to be branded by the Tea Party label.
She also said, she went to him. not vice versa..she will campaign for him if asked/
SHE WANTS TO BEAT OBAMA
I want the money back I sent her from the last election!
Bump
FAST DEATH.
SLOW DEATH.
REVERSE COURSE COMPLETELY.
Everyone make their choice. Why go to hell in a handbasket albeit at a slower rate and with pleasantries across the aisle to outright seditious Marxists, illegal alien enablers and Islamfascist coddlers.? Just cannot fathom it.
>> she and the other nutcase, Sharron Angle cost us two Senate seats <<
Well, what about “Senator” Linda McMahon from Connecticut and “Senator” Ken Buck from Colorado? Rove’s evil genius must have been working behind the scenes to defeat these two as well!
Send the bill to Karl Rove.
Blah blah blah.
Christine O’Donnell, infuriating RINO’s as effectively as anyone else in America.
Go Christine!
(but back away slowly, from that dumb endorsement please)
:D
Well, isn’t she precious.
Bye, Christine... back to obscurity.
Or "Lawrence."
