I sent Gingrich’s campaign a donation recently so as to encourage him in his attempt to force a brokered convention. I don’t usually donate but I felt this reasoning (forcing a brokered convention) was important.

I would encourage other Freepers who want a brokered convention to do the same, regardless of their opinion of Gingrich.

Same here; I’ll write-in before I vote for Romney-the-RINO, aka, the “Chosen One” of the Republican Establishment Elite.

Here's why I am NEVER NEVER and I do mean NOT EVER voting for that puke Romney.

Why I am NEVER voting for Romney, even if he is the GOP nominee (shudder)

Many people, online and in-person, have started to shrug and say, "Oh well. Looks like Romney's gonna get the Republican nomination. I'll have to hold my nose and vote for him, like I voted for McCain.and all the other RINOs the GOP have shoved at us. After all, if he's only 80-90% like Obama then he's at least a little better than him, right?"

WRONG. and here’s why.

If Myth does 90% of what Zer0 does, he will do it WITH AN R NEXT TO HIS NAME.

What does this do? Well, Republicans in Congress who would otherwise balk at lib legislation if it were proposed by Zer0 WILL SIGN ON TO THE LEGISLATION BECAUSE IT IS PROPOSED BY THE LEADER OF THE GOP.

Imagine: amnesty, “tax fairness”, gutting the military and so much more ALL SAILING THROUGH CONGRESS because a “Republican” is at the helm of America. Contrast this with a second Obozo presidency where the GOP will dig in their heels and at least try to fight.

Yeah, I said it. An Obummer presidency is better for America than a Myth presidency (in the way that a cowpie sandwich is better than a meal of broken glass).

This is why we have to have a NOT-ROMNEY at the top of the ticket if we are to have any hope of digging America out of this hole we’re in. And if we don't, God help us... but I still WON'T vote for him. I'll vote for whichever acceptable, conservative 3rd party candidate is running (so my protest vote will have the most impact), or I'll write one in.

As JimRob says. Romneycare = Obamacare = Commiecare. NO ROMNEY, NO WAY!!

> It’s pretty much over for America.

As long as there is life left in my body, I’m going to keep fighting, whatever the odds.

Snap out of it and don’t give up. The GOP-E and liberal scum are all betting we’ll lose heart. Don’t give them what they want!

I’ve learned to think for myself since 2008. Rush and the other establishment lapdogs will never scare me into voting for Willard Romney the father of U.S. socialized medicine. If he wins, Obamacare will live on and the GOP will be destroyed, or, at best, completely co-opted by the establishment.

Obama vs Romney is like asking the Rebel Alliance to vote for Emperor Palpatine or Darth Vader.

The Fox people and Rush types will scare us into voting but will they be able to scare enough? That is the question.

Not now. Four years ago, 12 years ago, yes, but not now.

Many Conservatives (including myself) have finally woken up and realized that the only difference between a liberal with an (R) next to their name and a liberal with a (D) next to their name is how fast they will take us down the road to socialism. Both will do so, just at different speeds.

The people who still think that Romney or other liberals with (R) next to their names are somehow better than Obama are numerous, there is no doubt, but they will find out that if they want a Republican to win, they damn well better get a Conservative on the ballot.

In their ignorance, they think that not only is Obama better than a liberal with an (R) next to his name, but they think that Conservatives will bend over for the GOP and support a liberal with an (R) next to their name, and they will find out just how wrong they are.
