” And finally, hindsight has nothing to do with it. Finny and Norm Lenhart and I and many others here were quite explicit that we were not voting as you did for the single sorriest excuse for a GOP candidate in party history.”

Yup and we have pounds of scar tissue to prove it. We also predicted he would lose, predicted he would immediately revert to his openly liberal positions and spend the rest of his life destroying conservatives.

All of that happened exactly as we said beginning with his loss, continuing within 18 hours of his loss and ever day since.

And we are supposed, with a straight face, to say ‘Yes, this is a man we could trust to be an improvement over the other liberal?” A man that would not wait 24 business hours to disavow his entire campaign? Everything he said? THAT is the guy that was BETTER than Obama? On what F’ing PLANET? Not this one.

“Get used to it! Rule or ruin!”

Either way is fine. It is DEMONSTRABLY better than living vaselined up on ones knees and lying to ones self about unicorns. If I want to hear unicorn promises, My Little Pony fills that need and regularly shows more conservatism than Romeny’s entire record anyway.

[BlackElk]

Sorry. I failed to ping you on a lot of my previous posts on this thread. My apologies.

[fieldmarshaldj]

No worries. I’m seeing them. ;-)

[CHISEL32]

I don’t think Romney didn’t want to win, but yes we need someone with some backbone this time around. Trump or cruz in 2016.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Wow, where have you been for the last 5 years ?

[CHISEL32]

LOL reading Black Elk’s book list. I’m not sure why I never got back into posting after the 2010 election but I decided to check the site back out so I could see who you all were supporting and as expected lots of Cruz and Trump fans. I’m glad because that is the way I’m leaning too.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yes. Trump did us an enormous favor exposing the RINOs and soft-bellies in this race who would’ve lost to a very evil and media-assisted Hillary and running them out. Hopefully El Jebbe & Roofio and the remaining midgets will be out before long. Trump, Dr. Carson and Sen. Cruz are the only ones with credibility to carry out a win next year.

[CHISEL32]

I agree, except on Carson. I don’t like him, I was watching him the other day and he literally had his eyes closed for 6 seconds while talking. Also Carson has stated past support for legalization or at least not being for deportation. Cruz is the most conservative and Trump has the status to draw the most voters. A Trump/Cruz ticket would be incredible. Any ticket involving Trump or Cruz would have my support.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Dr. Carson has the support he does (second only to Trump) for one simple reason: he’s an outsider. Folks are so sick of these corrupt insiders that have stood by while the country continues to sink into the abyss. Although I have some problems with him, he’s one of the only 3 I could vote for in a general election. I expect Trump will give him a position in the administration (and there remains a decent chance he may pick him for his VP. If that happens, Cruz will go to State or Justice). I’m still voting for Cruz in the primary, however.

Oh, such roaring fury. Where to begin.

You talk a brave game now that we did the heavy lifting of destroying Mittens' candidacy.

Would you like a medal, or a chest to pin it on? You can be sure that the 'RAT party of 2012 and the Obama campaign appreciate your efforts more than they can say. That is the bottom line here. They were trying to destroy Romney too, and by your words now, you admit that you made common cause with them.

Heckuva job there Blackie.

The fact is that you voted FOR Romney and all that he represents and all he had done and all of his unmitigated evil.

I (and millions of others) were voting AGAINST Obama. You and Finney can play word games and twist semantics all you like. If you vote 'for' any particular candidate for any specific office, you are by default voting against the opposing candidate. That is irrefutable.

Don't bother rationalizing it now when it is too late for you to have served your country by voting FOR a worthy candidate like Eternal Vigilance.

By your logic, I should have written in Ronald Reagan in 2012, even though Reagan was dead and in the grave, just like Eternal Vigilance's chances of capturing the White House were.

You are in a gunfight with a foul and vicious opponent. You have one gun, and one bullet. Instead of aiming at your opponent, you raise the barrel skyward, pull the trigger and scream YEEEHAAAAH!! with a mighty report and smoke. Your opponent didn't suffer a scratch, and you wasted the only bullet you had, making no difference at all. But you can smugly think "THERE!! I showed 'em!!"

Again, heckuva job there Blackie.

Now, on to the next volley of your self righteousness at #119.

[mkjessup]

The one and only assertion in your post that passes the smell test was your analogy of FDR allying with Stalin against Hitler to squishballs posing as conservatives and patriots voting for the Stalin equivalent of Willard Mitt Romney. Each was a sellout of monumental proportions. In each case, the enemy was truly reprehensible and in each case the "ally" was equally reprehensible.

Is it your position that Romney was every bit as morally reprehensible as Stalin? Just want to clarify that.

It could be demonstrated that Romney loves this country????? No, it cannot because he does not, like his execrable daddy and mommy before him. What convinced you? Was it his heroic service in Viet Nam? Oh, that's right, he served in Paris dodging the draft as a "missionary." which is something he could have done AFTER military service. Parisian cuisine beats K-rations anytime, right? Was it his steadfast protection of the jobs of American workers? Oh, that's right he is a major broker of jobs to places like Bangladesh and the mere middle class and working class who actually fight and die in our wars and for our country, unlike anything named Romney, be da*ned so long as Muffie's trust fund is fattened by resulting "profits" from impoverishing his fellow Americans.

David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett could not have written a more stinging denunciation. Kudos to you.

Well, he is a member (and to their shame an elite member) of the Church of Latter Day Saints. He must be pro-life and pro-marriage as a bishop of that church, right? Oh no, Willard got a pass from church leadership (to their everlasting shame) on both publicly funded abortion on demand and perversion posing as marriage of the fudgepackers. I wrote this paragraph as one who has often defended the LDS here and I am a Catholic. LDS has a tremendous number of wonderful decent people who are among the most personally moral in our nation, but NOT anyone in clan Romney. I disagree with their theology but admire their morality based on Mormons I have known.

"The Constitution specifies there shall be no religious test for public office, and I'm a Constitutionalist"
~ Senator Ted Cruz, September 2015.

And such an unConstitutional 'test' would apply to either an entire religious denomination, or to one individual from that denomination as you would apply it.

Just as Kerry, Pelosi, the late Kennedy the Last (hopefully although his son and namesake has been elected to Connecticut's State Senate), Rosa DeLauro, Patty Murray and so many, many others ought to be summarily excommunicated publicly by their respective bishops, so Romney should be cast in the outer darkness and excommunicated by LDS.

Well take it up with the LDS then. You're preaching to the choir and that takes no courage at all.

Oh, so Romney called Putin and Russia our adversary? Be still my beating heart over his extraordinary courage in giving you the tiniest of fig leaves. If he were POTUS, the POS would have done absolutely NOTHING but conclude new trade deals with Putin so that American donor class of corrupt greedocrats like himself could get their piece of the Russian slave labor market.

Did you obtain that insight into some parallel future timeline by communing with familiar spirits, using your tarot cards, pendulum or the always trusty Magic 8-Ball(c)? You are making an assertion not supported by any facts.

And finally, hindsight has nothing to do with it. Finny and Norm Lenhart and I and many others here were quite explicit that we were not voting as you did for the single sorriest excuse for a GOP candidate in party history.

Hindsight has EVERYTHING to do with it. You had the right to waste your vote on a candidate that had no chance in Hell to unseat Obama, and you did so. Bully for you. Your fellow FReepers who chose to cast their vote for the only candidate that DID have a chance to end the Obamunist regime did so not to betray the holiness of absolutely pure conservatism, but to try and stop the 4 years of national destruction that was taking place by Obama's direction, and to prevent another term of it. We had a flawed and imperfect candidate, but that was the only candidate who had a realistic chance of prevailing. By your logic, every conservative should have stayed home on election day, refused to participate, and who knows? Obama and Biden might have ended up with a 50 state landslide and a 'mandate' for even more horrific 'hope and change' and wouldn't you feel good about that?

As you can see from this year's debates, the GOP-E may have learned their lesson in POTUS nominations and El Jebbie is going nowhere but home to Florida. Money can't buy him votes as it did for Romney in the halls of blind party first voting in "GOP" primaries. Next up to be purged: Ryano, McConnell, McCarthy, Cornyn, Corker, LAMAR!!!, Cockroach and their ilk. The we can concentrate on those who are flat out liars when posing as "conservative." Get used to it! Rule or ruin!

Jebuardo and the rest of the GOPe Axis of Oafs are fully deserving of the political fate that appears to be awaiting them, you'll get no arguments from me about that. But as you and your fellow Defenders of the Conservative Faith prepare for your upcoming purge and pogrom, take a moment to study some history, and consider how many innocent people were swept up in those Stalinist purges in the old Soviet Union, sent off to the gulags, tortured or executed, all because some party apparatchik made the subjective decision that they were not 'Communist' enough.

Trotsky got a pickaxe to his skull. What do you have planned for those who don't measure up to your conservative standards?

[CHISEL32]

I understand. Carson isn’t tainted and so he has appeal and I know he has a lot of appeal to Protestant and Evangelical type voters (I’m one of them). But we really need a Trump or a Cruz at the top of the ticket. I Imagine as we start voting the field will narrow and Rubio will be the establishments fall back after Bush, Kasich, and Christie collapse. I see Trump and Cruz polling below Rubio but combined polling more than Rubio. Trump and Cruz need to then join in and make thier voting block combined so they can have one of them be at the top of the ticket. If we have a brokered convention I see Trump being the nominee with an establishment VP as the most likely outcome so Trump/Cruz uniting early would be important to preventing a brokered convention. Especially since the establishment will have a big advantage in a brokered convention. We have to unite the conservative vote to avoid another Establishment nominee. In 2008 I went with Huckabee and we got McCain. in 2012 I went with Newt and we got Romney. I swear if I go Trump or Cruz and we get Kasich I will be very mad. Obviously I would still vote R but I know we would probably lose again.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I expect Trump to romp. Roofio will collapse. As for the scum from Ohio (whom if you’ll recall was a good buddy of Gary Condit’s... they used to go through interns like a hot knife through butter), he isn’t fit to serve as dogcatcher. If Kay-Sick were anointed by the GOP establishment just as McQueeg and Willard were, he would be the 3rd ringer in a row, especially designed to help Hillary easily win. Hell, they’d rather have Hillary, she’s a leftist like they are, which is why they were ecstatic to support Zero twice in a row.

A common misunderstanding.

The constitutional prohibition on a religious test for public office is a governmental one.

Individual citizens retain their full right to reject or accept any candidate for public office based on absolutely anything they damn well please.

Your bullet didn't hit a thing either.

And it cost more than a billion dollars.

And by the way: Don't think we haven't noticed that most of the bullets of the Romney Republican establishment are aimed at conservatives, not at Democrats.

It's no coincidence that Mitt Romney himself was in the House chamber grinning from ear to ear when that particular love fest was taking place.

[mkjessup]

The Defenders of the Conservative Faith can continue this retrospective navel gazing forever and ever, however as I stated several posts ago, the past is past, and the sadistic second guessing and chest beating engaged in by the purists among us accomplishes nothing, it’s like a forensic review of the last Super Bowl, it doesn’t matter who threw what pass, who fumbled the football or missed that kick, it doesn’t change who won or who lost. Fans of the winning team cheered, the rest of the crowd, not so much. It’s done.

It is not 2012, it is now 2016. The GOPe has been exposed for what it is, likewise for their liberal handmaidens in the MSM, the anointed establishment candidates are failing to gain traction, and the outsiders (most of them conservative) are gaining support with each passing day, despite the efforts of the RINO Axis of Oafs to bring them down. Jeb’s campaign is all but done, and Romney isn’t about to enter this contest.

I’m all in for either Trump-Cruz or Cruz-Trump, how about you?

[EternalVigilance]

Nope.

[EternalVigilance]

What’s the old saying? ‘Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it?’ Something like that.

[EternalVigilance]

By the way, I’m not doing any ‘second-guessing’ or “navel-gazing,’ or anything like that. I’m simply reviewing the recent past in order to learn whatever I can from it.

How about you? Are you learning anything? Or are you getting ready to make the same mistakes all over again?
