After the election of Barack Obama in 2008, Rush Limbaugh took to the airwaves in January 2009 to announce his hope for the failure of Barack Obama's policies. He was very quick to make sure people understood he was not against Obama due to the color of his skin, but solely due to his policies.
In the same vein, I would like to announce a similar sentiment. I agree with Rush that Obama's polices should fail, and I hope they do. I also hope that the policies and philosophies of Mitt Romney fail as well.

>> if you ever really do get around to reading all my prior posts
I did.
>> you’ll find plenty of anti-Obama posts
You lie. Not a single post mentioning any specific problem you have with any of Obama’s policies. NOT ONE.
Not a single post where you mention support for any conservative principle, policy or position. NOT A SINGLE ONE.
Only posts where you vaguely tar Obama and Romney with the same broad brush — i.e. “Obama and Romney are both liberals and I’m not voting for either”.
I searched for “Obama” in your posting record, which I earlier posted a link to. This experiment is trivially easy to reproduce. I encourage anyone to see for themselves what you’re *really* all about, Tau Food.
You’re not a conservative at all. You bat for the other side. You may fool some but you don’t fool me.
Did you miss the spectacle that was the 2011/2012 GOP nominating contest? It didn't happen. Some self-proclaimed conservatives hopped from one name to the next: Palin, Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Newt, Santorum... It was theater of the absurd.
As Donald Rumsfield said, "You go to war with the army you have---not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time."
Romney is that army against Obama. There is no savior on the sidelines, there is no 3rd party superstar that will topple everyone else. Those are pipe dreams.
It's simple: Romney or Obama.
I pray you and the other self-destructives are in uncontested states.
The time to hope Romney fails is if he makes bad policy proposals after Obama's tenure is in the history books.
As your litany points out, Romney is malleable meaning he can be moved right. Obama is a rigid, uncompromising imperialist ideologue.
If you think four more of Obama would be the shock required to get a conservative elected next time, you're a mental case.
As for your cutesy graphic, it tells me you are for Obama's cause. When the WA Post and Factcheck.org support Romney's version of his Bain activities, you can bet it's not a put-on.
As the Post pointed out, Democrats fought to keep Romney off the ballot when he ran for governor. MA Dems claimed he wasn't a resident; in fighting that case, Romney never once pointed to working at Bain as evidence that he in fact was still a resident. Now the Democrat party vehemently argues the other way.
And, we're all getting paid to be here . . . except you, Nervous.
I hope that will help you to calm down.
Correct. But I don't have to enable either leftist and neither do you.
I’m calm. And I see through you quite clearly, too.
I suspect I’m not the only one who does; I’ll see what I can do to help educate the forum about you.
Enjoy your charade while it lasts. It’s just a matter of time before you’re gone — one way or another.

Listen, I hate to leave you here on the side of the road like this, but I think I've learned as much as I'm going to learn from you, for now.
You take care of yourself. And, relax. It's going to be all right. I really didn't mean to set you off like that. ;-)
Yes, Tau Food looks like a troll.
It’s easy for the libs to get through, and push to try to get us to go third party. Because they know that if just enough of us, at free republic don’t support the R nominee, they can win.
It’s not just the absolute numbers of freepers, it’s also that, as the base of the base, we have influence beyond our numbers. Lib trolls are certainly working in the shadows, here.
Far from a troll. I am tired of being played by the party that is out of power simply because they are out of power. I am an actual Conservative, one that doesnt need Rush or Hannity to tell me whats up. Think for yourself, dont be a lemming.
I still practice the right to free assembly, Speech, religion, owning guns, and living my life. So tell me, where have these been infringed in MY LIFE? They havent. Does Obama WANT to take away my freedoms? Probably. Does he have the power or the willpower to do so? Absolutely NOT! Beck, Rush, Hannity, et al have made it their biz to gin up votes so their guys can be in office. Well guess what, I am sick of RINOs. Hence the whole RINO List website. Get rid of the RINO and I will gladly vote the WHOLE Republican ticket. Thats the point.
If Obama wins, and we take the Senate, we have 1/3 under Repub control, so HE CANT DO ANYTHING if McConnell and Boehner are as awesome as you would like me to believe. Then in 4 years, we get to pick a real Conservative, since the RINO GOP would not dare pick a loser three times in a row. If we get Romney, and the Senate, we got 2/3 and Romney gets people like YOU, who will give him anything he wants because its better than Obama. We will get Amnesty, Cap and Trade, Homo agenda, abortion, etc. ad infinitum, all b/c YOU said, hes better than Obama. AND if we get Romney, we either get another Obama in 4 yrs or 4 more years of RINO Romney and RINO policies, which if you cant figure out are Obama’s policies ONLY with an R before them. So how’s the one that needs to think about his decisions?
>> But his distaste for Romney is not a strike against conservative credentials
Not in and of itself, no.
Clearly, there are many principled conservatives here who refuse to even consider voting for “the lesser of the evils”. The canonical example is “the boss”, as you call him.
However, just as clearly, that official anti-Romney policy gives cover to trolls loyal to Obama who take advantage of JR’s official position to attempt to manipulate opinion against Romney — not because they “despise both liberals”, but because they *favor* Obama.
I believe his posting history reveals that Tau Food is one of those.
Now that I’m convinced of this, I’ll steer clear of him. That’s about all I can do, except to point out the evidence, which I have done. I love FR but I don’t own it.
FRegards
You forget to mention a saltlick size lump of boneheadedness and a their using a chainsaw cutting one’s nose off to spite their face.
Monday must also have been a long weekend from the funny-farm from the looks of this suicide thread. Jeeze where is a nutty ronpaul forum when they need one the most?
>> Lib trolls are certainly working in the shadows, here.
Here, and on every conservative site.
I’m hoping there are conservative trolls working liberal sites, too.
To assume otherwise would not be prudent.
This is war, after all. Serious business.
Let me understand correctly. So, this person hopes we will have back to back presidential failures in an attempt to save this country from economic collapse. What a rocket scientist we have here.
skeeter, you were doing so well until that but. Obama CANNOT destroy this country. He is ONLY 1/3. Has he done quite a lot of damage, no doubt. My problem is that MOST FReepers will be the ones yakking to us when Williard goes Dances with Liberals on us that we need to stay behind him b/c he's better than if we had Obama. Feel me?
>> So, this person hopes we will have back to back presidential failures &etc
Either that, or believes in the “magical thinking” that by not voting for either candidate, we won’t *get* either of them. Heck, I wish that were true, but I don’t think it is.
(or... they really, secretly *favor* The One and *want* him to win again. My money’s on *that* square, frankly.)
...Romney is malleable meaning he can be moved right. Obama is a rigid, uncompromising imperialist ideologue.
Exactly!
Ø has to GO!
Mittens Stinks!
I'd rather we Tea Party Rally against Romney (once he gets in)- there's a fighting chance he'd listen and adjust.
Fighting Ø is Racist...blah, blah, blah...
(I Can't afford 4 more years of Ø. Many of US can't. If I had more money stashed away I'd say 'F' it and vote for Mickey Mouse and go Galt - I don't have that option right now ....the United States doesn't have that option right Now)
“Obama CANNOT destroy this country. He is ONLY 1/3.”
Well, O’s already destroyed a third of it. With a second term we’ll be 2/3 destroyed, fundamentally transformed for good. What’s amazing is that beyond his exec orders dictating open borders and gay marriage and CIA prosecutions, he hasn’t just taken over the govt, dictator style. That’s certainly the fear of a lot of people. That fear causes a lot of discomfort. That fear alone is reason to GET OBAMA OUT!
>> right to free assembly
Executive order signed by Obama: you can’t gather to protest near him or essentially any of his cabinet or ANY of his administration he so designates.
>> Speech
Fought against Citizens United vs. FEC, which is at its heart a freedom of speech issue. At his SOTU address, actually had the gall to take the chief justice to task for his opinion! How could you forget that??!?
>> religion
You’re joking... right? “We’re not a Christian nation”... pharmacists don’t have the right to refuse morning after prescriptions; Catholic institutions don’t have the right to refuse to pay for Obamacare.
>> owning guns
Sent his counsel to fight against DC gun ownership; attempted an end run around 2nd amendment rights with the Fast and Furious scam
>> living my life
One TLA: EPA. Or maybe you have never run afoul of an EPA diktat, eh greenie? Ever try to buy a @#$%^& gas can that pours from an unobstructed oil spout? Or a simple mercury fever thermometer? What about gas prices, artificially inflated by Obama’s drill nowhere at all policies? Have a job? Great, you’re one of the lucky ones I guess. I don’t know: maybe “living your life” involves lots of liberal goodies you don’t want to give up. MY life has been DIRECTLY impacted by Barky in all these ways — and many, many more.
>> if McConnell and Boehner are as awesome as you would like me to believe.
When did I ever say that? YOU did.
>> Think for yourself
Oh, I am. And I think you’re a troll. Further evidence is that asinine anti-romney graphic you posted about the discredited Bain Capital lie, which incidentally has NOTHING to do with any Romney “policy” you supposedly want to fail.
Carrying the DNC’s water is your goal, apparently.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
bttt
No Troll here dude. As I challenged you, when did OBAMA infringe MY personal rights in MY personal life? You never mentioned anything Obama has done to me in my personal life. Furthermore, several of your examples are his ATTEMPTS to infringe OTHER people. If I am not mistaken, he failed in several of those, due to our Constitutional protections. Conservatism is not weighed by how much I hate Obama, I am a Conservative due to what I believe about my country and myself. RINOS have to go, they are what gave us Hussein in the first place, and you want to solve it by putting RINO #1 in the Oval Office? Whose trolling who?
Seems that the Democrat controlled Senate was unable to even get the Sea Treaty up for a vote, due to DeMint who is in the Minority of the Minority. Seems that 1/3 if fully functional. We will experience alot of turmoil if we take either the Kenyan or the RINO for 4 more years, but we cant take the RINO as he would undermine DeMint and others. If you care about them, then hope as I do that Romney fails.
This kind of thread is the reason I don’t visit here as much as I use to. Looks like DU, “Hoping a Candidate, who believes in Capitalism, Fails”
Here’s another topic that gets lost in ‘principles’, there is already one in the White House who’s not only looking to keep abortion legal, but to make sure every girl has access to it at any age without parental consent. This is the law that Justice Roberts helped twist the definition of.
So it’s here already.....if you believe Romney will repeal/defund/whatever it may be to Obamacare, do you really think that he will keep those provisions alive or let it die just to introduce his own abortion dictate later on? If the GOP keeps the House do you think that will ever get through anyway?
Obviously if you think he will keep Obamacare in place then I can see your distaste for him. He’s openly said he will kill it but I guess that may not be good enough for some. I can understand this I guess as his Mass. track record does leave much to be desired.
Not voting for Romney doesn’t make the abortion problem go away. In fact, it solidifies it.
If man were perfect he wouldn’t be man. Romney is far from it, but I feel he’s no where near as bad as BO so I’ll take him.
I’ll take the Republic over the tyrant everytime.
>> when did OBAMA infringe MY personal rights in MY personal life?
Well, I laid it out, but you’re too stupid and shortsighted to see that Obama’s rape of America affects ALL of us personally — including you.
Very well then, trollboy... vote for the Big O in November.
>> This kind of thread is the reason I don’t visit here as much as I use to.
Ditto... it’s disgusting. Four, three, two years ago — if you told me that some ass who proclaims “what has Obama ever done to ME PERSONALLY?” as an excuse for supporting him wouldn’t immediately get the zot, I’d have told you you were crazy.
That sort have free run of this place now. Hell, they even post *vanities* about their Obama support.
Up is down — left is right — freedom is slavery.
It sucks.
He can single handedly destroy the country and he is.
Another way of saying you are content to be impotent.
Not I. I will vote for the lesser of two evils.
I am content to be conservative and to be conservative when it matters, which is at the ballot box.
I wish you were so content.
A perfectly respectable position to hold. Thank you for such a clear-headed statement of your position.
I feel that Romney has conclusively shown he can't be trusted to keep his word when he claims conservatism. I will therefore vote for what I know -- which is a proven track record wherever it can be found. I do not believe a self-described progressive such as Romney is what is needed to save the Republic we both care for.
I fully acknowledge 0bama isn't either. I also know that a Romney victory will be the death of conservatism in the Republican Party, as well as any other ills his known policies will foist on our nation. I can't support him.
But again, thank you for a clearly and eloquently stated position.
Usher it in? It’s already here!
Romney is the just another globalist— communist is a business suit. He will keep the country on it’s current path of destruction, because he profits from globalism.
EXACTLY.
'First Things' first.
'First Things'... Principles.
The rest of your comment is Republican pap. But this part is true enough.
We can deal with Romney not being conservative enough later
How do we deal with allowing the Republicans to elect a Pro-Choice candidate? What do you think will happen to the Pro-Life plank if they succeed?
How do we deal with allowing Republicans to vote in a gun grabber? When do you suppose the RKBA will be entertained and defended, if ever again?
Copy same for pro-illegal alien, pro-homo marriage, pro-NAU, etcetera ad nauseum...
What exactly are you unwilling to throw under the bus for a win?
GET THIS: The problem is not Obama. The problem is a lack of opposition to liberalism/socialism/communism. How is throwing AWAY every_single_conservative_principle going to fix the problem?
I will guarantee, and easily predict, you will rue the day you let these things slip away.
I get it! You hate Romney so you’re going to cut off your nose to spite your face and re-elect Obama to get even, eh? GET THEE AWAY FROM ME!
I’m getting very tired of this crapola...
JC
You are mistaken. donjuanluis07 said nothing about HATE.
The post was about what hopeless LOSER Mitt Romney is,
because he will undermine the remainder of
conservatives to DNC principles.
It is true. Just look at the history of Mr. RomneyCARE
and his Death Panels, gay marriage by his signature,
liberal judges by his choice, and constant
protection of Obama. Mr. RomneyCARE works for the DNC.
So after BO gets back in and tramples more of the Constitution can these ‘principled’ voters claim the mantle of victory?
Yes . And they will tell you that they walk on water . That God told them to do it . They want BO in on a 2nd term so they can be the rightous ones while they have a 3rd world shithole to gloat in . Like they are the only people who have principles .
I accept it . You walk on water and you dont see that socialist lite is better to check that a Marxist . So dont vote . who cares . Most of the country gets it .
because he will undermine the remainder of
conservatives to DNC principles.
How ? you are the annointed people . The superior mortals . How is he going to penetrate you kevlar ? Your solid right ? your an oak ... remember ?
Has this site been hacked or something? It resembles the DUmp more and more each day.Not hacked, just waking up. The sleepers are rising from their holes in an effort to save their Dark Lord Obama.

That’s the bottom line .. hacked . It’s laughable if it was not so sad .
Yes, I do, every time it rains.
For more than 200 years, this country has done quite well without a President Romney. I know it may be hard for some to imagine this, but we could go another 200 years without him.
This country needs to change its fundamental direction, but Romney is certainly not the change we're looking for right now. I would like to see him withdraw his candidacy so that the party could nominate a suitable alternative to Obama. If he gets the nomination and loses, we may just have to wait until 2016.
Socialist light is easier to stomp on than a Marxist . It is that simple . You think we got another 200 years ? Your funny . That’s what the kids thought when they put him in . Now look at our Republic . You think what’s left in another 50 years you can build on when your not happy with today ? oh boy ...
Ben, unless I learn to walk on water deeper than rain, I don't expect to be working on this country in 50 years.
I guess what's important here is that Romney agrees with Obama about the fundamental direction this country should take. When Romney designed Romneycare, he suggested that it be used as a model for solving what Romney and Obama like to call the nation's "health care crisis." And, thus, Romneycare begat Obamacare. Governor Pawlenty calls Obamacare "Obamneycare" because he agrees that Obama basically stole the idea from Romney.
So you are saying you dont see a difference in the 2 parties . I’ll buy that to some degree at least on this election . Looks like your a single issue voter but I dont see Romney with his magic wand Ruling by EO’s. Not to mention the Supreme Court . Besides that he said he would repeal it .
I feel your pain but it is what it is . I have to roll with Socialist lite . When was the last time you voted for an electable candidate instead of against a candidate anyway ?
I'm voting for Tom Hoefling this year. I respect Tom and will be voting for him, but I came to support him after deciding that I needed to find a way to vote against both Obama and Romney.
but I came to support him after deciding that I needed to find a way to vote against both Obama and Romney.
You found something you can stand on . It’s rare in politics . My problem is I know to much . You’re building on something for the future so press on . Good job !
