I think we deserve an answer to that question ~
The risk with Romney is much greater because the party in the White House almost always loses seats in Congress.
The choice is between Obama and growing conservative majority in Congress or Romney and shrinking Republican minority. The latter is a far worse combination.
What makes you think conservatives are going to have that sort of leverage? We've seen Republicans far more conservative sellout their principles when exposed to DC culture and the media.
And, Romney KNOWS you'll vote for him no matter what he does. He establishment you and those voting for him are making threats they never follow through on.
Like, just to pick something at random, Scalia would want to quit for Mitt? Give Scalia credit for some sense?
How is it that this father of gay marriage has now suddenly disowned his offspring? Could it have been an adoption of convenience, and abandoned as quickly?
The time to cast the soul saving vote was in the primary. Now we are faced with the question whether the guard should change. You can’t cast a vote for a spoiler and pretend before either man or God that this time around it won’t do what spoilers always do.
You'll vote for him no matter what he does if office because you will always convince yourself he is the lesser of two evils. He and the establishment know that. You're making threats you never follow through on. It's like the little boy that cried wolf.
Shoot, if in 2016 a more sensible rival appears in the primaries, I’d cast a primary vote for him/her without a qualm. That’s the time to worry about souls. In November now the question is, should the guard change (or if it must change, which of two possibilities should it change to). Greater America will sit out Mitt if not vote for a Rat rival, if it is dispirited enough with his performance.
Let’s see, will a flip flopping, mushy moderate who always has a finger in the wind (but does have a lot of business sense) prove a less competent steward than a resolute far lefty who pretends that, say, requiring religious organizations to carry insurance policies that support things contrary to the religion (with the meaningless difference of “who” pays for it being “the company” i.e. the subscriber) is some kind of compromise?
The choice in November being such stinks to high heaven, of course.
“You keep wanting to pretend voting for a man with liberal record and no principles is going to make the country better. It won’t.”
And you’re pretending that a second Buckwheat term won’t damage the republic more. Buckwheat is already illegally ruling through the fascist bureaucracy and executive dictates, doing whatever he wants.
If we had Republicans such as Thaddeus Stevens and the Radical Republicans like in the 1860s, I could see taking Buckwheat out. Stevens stripped Johnson of his commander in chief role and took over the military. He also effectively neutralized the court and pushed through Reconstruction without Johnson’s assent.
The entire Republican leadership today are gutless worms. There’s not a single Thaddeus Stevens among them.
What’s your plan to neutralize Buckwheat and his Nazi bureaucrats?
Um, no. I am not Mormon. In my view, Mormon's are not Christian. However, I don't see the need to bash them. In my view they are just another one of many religions I don't subscribe to. I don't vote based on a politicians religion. I know lots of wonderful Mormon people and I hold nothing against them. I also know many terrific Buddhist and Hindu's and have no issue with them either.
I think we deserve an answer to that question ~
Actually, you don't. But I gave you one anyway. Are you one of the FR Mormon bashers? I hadn't associated your name with that twisted group before, but looking at your responses I am beginning to think you may be one of them.
Of COURSE he is!!!
The
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
SECTION 71
Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, December 1, 1831. HC 1: 238239. The Prophet had continued to translate the Bible with Sidney Rigdon as his scribe until this revelation was received, at which time it was temporarily laid aside so as to enable them to fulfill the instruction given herein. The brethren were to go forth to preach in order to allay the unfriendly feelings that had developed against the Church as a result of the publication of some newspaper articles by Ezra Booth, who had apostatized.
14, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are sent forth to proclaim the gospel; 511, Enemies of the saints shall be confounded.
1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my gospel, the things of the kingdom, expounding the mysteries thereof out of the scriptures, according to that portion of Spirit and power which shall be given unto you, even as I will.
2 Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions round about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until it shall be made known unto you.
3 Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you.
4 Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon the inhabitants of the earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the commandments and revelations which are to come.
5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and receive also;
6 For unto him that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly, even power.
7 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest.
8 Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord.
9 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto youthere is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper;
10 And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in mine own due time.
11 Wherefore, keep my commandments; they are true and faithful. Even so. Amen.

See what happens when you speak of the DEVIL??
He APPEARS!!!

URGENT!

Mitt is NOT a prophet, he is a D*** politician. The verses you quoted do NOT apply to Mitt.
Mitt is kicking but for a number of reasons, but the main one is: Mitt is NOT Obama.
The verses you quoted have NOTHING to do with politicians.
Yeah!
That's so dumb.
Where only a wishful thinker would claim that NOTHING can happen between now and November...
Yup!
And they were most ALL MORMONs; who could NOT hold their own in a religious discussion without getting UGLY.
Don't worry; they STILL ain't gonna vote for Obama or go over to DU.
Oh well; things like that happen when heresies like MORMONism get exposed.
FR loses (according to you)
Heaven gains (according to me).
Finally!
A straw upon which to grasp!
Maybe not. Perhaps just a lack of discernment.
