“You can’t win just by being “not as bad as the other guy.””

Well, then you must be enjoying yourself immensely being ruled by the Obama regime. Obama must not be as bad as “the other guy” in your non-thinking mind. Enjoy yourself and your purity in voting; just too bad I have to go down too because of your bad reasoning.

Quit playing the fool, a person is not obligated to vote for the republican party no matter how disgusting it is, that is why freerepublic is an Independent site, not owned and operated by the GOP, and not a republican site.

This time, the GOP went into the tall grass and chose a Reagan /Christian hating lefty who doesn’t even belong in republican politics at all, much as leader of that party.

I get it. It’s easy for me to mouth off on a website, even if I might be right. But I take my job seriously and it’s even more serious if providing for your family is at stake.

You’re the fool, because now you have Obama as Prez, and his regime of thugs runnning our country. So who is the fool again? I blame you and your ilk for the pickle we are in. Because you took me and the rest of the country that still is sane, down with you. Good job, bravo, well done, ... fool.

Well just look at what the Mormons did to the boy scouts.

I’m sorry I supported Romney.

I am sorry.

If your party listens to you, then it is deservedly doomed, you are the GOP’s version of a ignorant ghetto voter, blind and simple minded, owned and completely possessed by whoever and whatever the GOP puts up, you aren’t fighting for anything, you are a submissive, non-conservative, a non-person, a ghetto party voter.

The only vote of my entire life that I regret, is voting for HW Bush in 1992 (at the last second, in the booth) although I had already told everyone that I would not (Perot and Clinton were even worse to me, I was going to leave that slot empty and vote for the rest of the down ticket).

I bet you voted for Romney like I did for HW Bush that day, I will always regret that vote, but we live and learn.

Enjoy yourself and your purity in voting; just too bad I have to go down too because of your bad reasoning.

When you get to the point that a few conservatives staying home swings the election for the radical lefty, the radical lefty in office is a symptom, not the disease. Unless you address the underlying cause, if you don't lose big this election you'll lose big the next... or the one after that. You can't bat a thousand with an ever-thinner electoral margin.

The underlying cause in this case is too many idiots who believe that liberalism is The Way. Unless that changes, Obama and otherse like him... and worse... are inevitable.

With regard to "purity in voting"... I don't need purity. I don't need the perfect candidate. But I DO want SOMETHING. Give me a candidate who has shown the least bit of willingness to pursue a conservative agenda. Heck, give me a Republican who can show that he's done something to pursue the Republican Party platform. Throw me a bone anyway, if you want my vote.

In 2008 I held my nose and voted for John McCain. Not only did I still get Obama for president, I didn't even have my integrity for consolation. Never again.

I don’t know where you are looking up those numbers, but they are just wrong. Romney gained a million votes and won a higher percentage of the total vote.

John McCain: 59,934,814 45.7%
Mitt Romney: 60,932,152 47.2%

I concede that I found numbers which appear to have been incorrect. Romney apparently did receive more popular votes than McLame. Obozo, conversely, received many fewer votes in 2012 than 2008 by a large margin. However, the percentage of eligible registered voters in 2012 was 3.4 percent less than in 2008. I contend that had conservatives not stayed home, or had voted the top of the ticket instead of abstaining, or had not decided to vote for a turd party or write in candidate, the outcome of the 2012 election would have been different. Romney wasn’t a “perfect” candidate. But, he is/was a damned sight better than what is presently occupying the WH.
