Palin warned the GOP over and over and over and over and over and over and over that unless it adopted Ron Paul’s agenda on money, freedom, etc - we were going to lose.
Guess she was right.
Quite correct.
Also, keep in mind that all the cool college kids these days are Ron Paul fanatics. Obama is passe'.
Those kids are the future of the party whether anyone wants to admit it or not. Why are we throwing them under the bus constantly? Do we not want to win?
I carefully listened to the debates. HOW MANY TIMES did Romney say “I agree with the President” or “The President was right when he...(fill in the blank).
How many times?
When you can’t tell a “moderate” republican from an ultra liberal democrat, then that republican is NOT going to get m
my vote.
If I vote for someone in a party other than democrat or republican, than that individual just isn’t going to win due to how our voting system is structured. It’s worse than wasting a vote as the effect is the same as not voting at all.
I’ve been a registered republican for over 30 years. This year I registered as an independent. Why?
I can’t tell a republican from a democrat on enough key issues to actually make a difference.
Presidents don’t seem to know what their job is any more. Presidents don’t make jobs, business people do! So when a president or contender stands there and tells me he’s going to create XYZ jobs, he’s lying. I don’t vote for known liars.
When a president or contender says HE’s going to raise taxes on this group or that, he’s stepped out of bounds. It’s CONGRESS’s job to initiate taxes, not a president’s job. So when a president or contender tells me that he rules congress and controls [i]their[/i] vote, he’s telling me he’s corrupt. And so is congress for buying into it, abiding by it and not doing THEIR jobs.
Anymore, both parties are globalists. That means that American sovereignty is down the tubes. It means that BOTH parties are nothing more than sock puppets. Each is controlled by the global agenda. I expected the Democrat party to be that corrupt as it’s the party of amoralism. But now that the Republican party has lost it’s nerve and sidled up to the democratic agenda, there is absolutely NO point in voting for a republican any more.
They sold us out by not adhering to what they preached over the last several years. Putting a wishy-washy, stammering man in the republican slot, a man who couldn’t answer the tough questions with specifics and in detail, who could not and would not level with those whose support he was requesting was the icing on the cake for me.
The republican contender lost my vote during those debates because it was painfully obvious to me that he was not, and is not, a republican or a leader. He might be a very nice man, a wonderful husband and father, but from my eyes, he’s not a president.
And that’s just the beginning.
I don’t like the platform of the democrat party, or it’s idologies, but I will give this to them: They adhere to it. By comparison, Republicans lack commitment to the nation, and to the people.
Just my opinion, but I have a sneaking suspicion that there are a few million others who share similar sentiments, and who either did not vote, or voted for an alternate party.
