Sorry to be late to the dance. Looks like all the usual folks are here.
Bow to your partner, bow to your own....

“That’s an idiotic and irresponsible statement. Obama has been a disaster for conservative policies on so many levels, it will decades to clean up what Obama wrought, and I believe in fact that we will never be able to undo some of Obama’s damage from 4 years. 8 years?!?!”
And willard will somehow help conservative policies?
This election is a disaster for conservatives. We lost the election the day Sarah decided not to run, and now we’re debating which left wing candidate would do less harm? It’s a suckers game and I’m done playing it. I’m going to vote for the conservative candidate I agree with. And that just happens to be a 3rd party candidate. All the better that I live in Virginia and will have a good amount of company.
“Hint: 3-4 SC judges.”
David Souter, Sandra O’Connor, and John Roberts? Gee. Those were a real prize for conservatives. So we should vote for a candidate that will give us a few more?
“We can’t survive another 4 years of O. And if Obama is elected again we probably won’t survive another four years!”
Say what? Virginia will still be here, the Federal government will still be broke, the political class will still be ignoring the Constitution, and our liberties will be further eroded. How would that be all that significantly different under willard? Other than we’d have to listen to a bunch of gop hacks tell us it’s raining while they urinate on our backs.
If you assume as I do that The Divorce is probably coming whether we like it or not, then which of these candidates win is not all that important. The real contests of importance will be at the state and local level.
Romney is many things - a liberal, effeminate, metro-sexual but homosexual - nope.
“Goode and anyone planning to cast a vote for him are co-conspirators with Obama.”
Well then using that logic it could also be said that those who are planning to vote for willard are collaborators with abortionists and gun grabbers.
It cuts both ways.
“Moronic. Perot gave Clinton the presidency.”
Actually George HW Bush did.
Awesome. I want Bugs as campaign manager!
-—”There are more than two choices. I am sorry you live in a state that is so limiting in its choices. “
No, given that Romney has the R-nomination in the bag, there really are only TWO REALISTIC choices.
Yes, there are independents, libertarians, green party candidates and communist candidates that we could vote for, but the reality is: A vote for them is wasting an anti-Obama vote.
From your perspective, this should boil down to a lesser of two evils. I see Obama as extremely evil and anti-freedom.
The Romney position recently on abortion is mixed. You’ve got articles like this that don’t support your belief that “Romney is now a supporter of abortion.” At least this is what he says currently:
http://www.lifenews.com/2012/06/29/romney-pounds-pro-life-themes-against-abortion-obama/
“It’s both amazing and appalling over how many former “nose-holders” are now full-throated Romneyites.”
There has always been a sort of twisted co-dependency relationship going on between conservatives and the gop. The gop will screw conservatives over 364 days out of the year. But should you suggest voting for an actual conservative running on a third party ticket, you’ll see the wide eyes and foaming at the mouth rage that is usually only seen in rabid animals.
Nope. Debunked every which way there can be a debunking.
“Yeah, but they’re fun to play with once in a while...”
The “conservative” willard apologists are fun to play with as well.
“Third party candidates: Cutting off your nose to spite your face.”
Major party candidates: selling your soul cheap.
“Yes, prove what a conservative you are by voting for the guy who was a Democrat representative during Clinton’s second term.”
So by your logic, we should never, ever vote for someone who was a former democrat or the head of a labor union.
Someone like...Ronald Reagan perhaps?
-—”The people in those states who waste their Romney votes should discuss whether the consequences of a second [Obama] term can ever be undone by our descendents.”
Well said. I don’t see how else to view it that not-voting is throwing away a vote that could unseat King Obama. Not voting IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA. What’s with these people??
Romney’s not the ideal candidate by any means, but if there are any conservatives who would rather have Obutthole in office for 4 more disastrous years, they must not find Obutthole so objectionable after all.
There’s a certain stubborness I’m seeing where these people obviously aren’t asking themselves some hard questions (e.g. how would they REALLY feel if Obutthole is allowed to ravage this world as we know it.
For me, it’s unthinkable.
Good photoshops....but that one is awesome. Thanks!
Huh?
I live in California I get to vote for anyone one I want, since BHO has already bought this state.
Where do you live that the vote is so close that if you don’t vote for the liberal R over the liberal D the liberal D will win?
“Major party candidates: selling your soul cheap.”
That is not an instance of a Faustian bargain.
So you’re indicating that your vote is meaningless anyway?
In 1992 when I wasn’t paying attention to the reality of Politics, I Voted for Perot.
I will not make the Third Party Candidate mistake again.
