I’ll vote Romney in the general, go over the cliff at 60 and hope we survive, battered and bruised, but alive.
"Shoes with a Fuse".
Next guy in the White House gets a pair.
Good.
There is strong evidence that Ralph Nader cost Al Gore the 2000 election.
Every new “conservative” candidate poses a serious threat to GOP Presidential hopes. That is mainly because conservatives are looking for someplace, anyplace, to go. If Romney is the GOP candidate, the GOP will lose. It astonishes me that the GOP establishment elite doesn’t get that. ...Or do they?
I was in a hurry to reply ‘till I tripped over an Etch-A-Scetch.
Is it too late to buy a “k”?
LOL!
Somebody should start a “Kenyan Marxist Environazi Party” and run on exactly Obama’s platform except telling the truth about Marxist leanings, Islamist sentiments and foreign birth. That might work better than this doomed plan of running as conservatives. Anyway, it would place Obama on notice that somebody had, well, noticed.
Lol.. I noticed that too.... it looked like the basement of a Days Inn.
Goode is a good choice for a protest vote, especially for those of us who live in solidly Democrat states. Better people vote for a conservative third party candidate, and still vote for Republicans down-ticket, than stay home.
My suggestion was not meant to refer to this election. This election is already lost. What we need to do is choose one alternative party that is already established and on a lot of ballots and grow it during the next four years, instead of sitting on our butts and doing nothing until the 20106 election is upon us and then start panicking when the GOP-e chooses our next nominee.
I voted for Perot twice...And would again...
I agree with you, about Nader and the 2000 race. In Florida, he got about 98,000 votes, and Bush beat Gore by about 500 votes. In New Hampshire, Nader got about 22,000 votes, and Bush beat Gore by about 7,000 votes.
Usually, the strongest third-party presidential candidate takes votes from the incumbent party. In 1992, when a republican president ran for re-election, Perot got 19%, helping Clinton win. In 1968, when the president was a Democrat, Wallace got about 11% of the vote, helping Nixon win.
I agree that we need one conservative party. Currently, our country has too many small conservative parties, including the Constitution Party, America First Party, Conservative Party, and Heritage Party. Those members agree, on almost every issue. If all of them join the same party (probably the Constitution Party, the largest of that group), they’ll be more likely to win elections.
Virgil Goode lost election in his district, where people KNOW him, but thinks he will be more successful on a bigger stage? um, good luck with that.
That’s exactly what I was saying. The Constitution Party is the one that is most known. They are on the ballot here in WV. I don’t know how many states they are on, but I’ve known about them for several years and wondered why we couldn’t put all of this Tea Party/conservative energy into building that one alternative party to take over Washington. It would take time, but gee, how long have we been placing our hopes with the GOP-e and the donkeys?
I agree with you. Even now if true Conservatives all over the Country backed him with money, support and faithful prayer to God, he could get in. We have got to start having faith in God and doing the things that only can get done by faith in God’s goodness towards us and the absolute power of His Spirit.
