Ah yes, the ol' "but" statement clause... ; )
That self promoting, yet wishy washy, John Edwards wannabe whore will NEVER EVER get my vote and I can't even give Ron Paul such consideration!
Absolutely and IF we have to settle for the likes of Romney, then we are already lost!
If we are going to have a battle for our direction as a people politically then we may as well have at least two discerning directions to chose from!
Even if a Mitt twit presidency turned out to be as bad as what you have portrayed here, very doubtful, it would be better than another round of Obama, much better if we can regain control of the Senate. The Republican Party isn’t going to be destroyed, but from the perspective of someone who is voting third party, why would it matter? More votes for you. I’ll fight Romney as long as he is not the nominee. America deserves much better. Once our candidate has been chosen, anything that assures Obama’s reelection is unacceptable.
We go through this every election. It’s exactly the same reasoning that was used by Perot voters to justify two terms of Clinton. I was fully prepared not to vote for McCain before Palin got on board, and I wouldn’t have, because I believed he would destroy the Republican Party, and that belief was probably correct. However, I underestimated the extent that Obama would be allowed to destroy America. Another round of this will make the destruction of the Republican Party of no consequence.
Let’s do everything we can to make sure Romney doesn’t get the nomination. That’s the way all of us can win this reoccurring dilemma of not wanting to vote for the establishment progressive.
You forgot debt.
And this would be if it actually is real decision next November; and not a armchair one now.
Decisions, decisions....
Hmm, 2 crappy candidates instead of just 1? I think my head would! explode. :D
Nationwide registration numbers look quite anemic from what I understand.
Source please? There's no need for unwarranted pessimism.
Battleground-State Voters Leaving the Democratic Party
Let the Tea Party movement take over the GOP. The GOP didn't lose conservative voters in 2006 and 2008. The moderates and independents smacked them in those years. They came back in 2010.
A 3rd party candidate is just as much a threat to Obama as it is to the GOP nominee.
The Federalist Party died. The Whig Party died. The Know Nothing Party died. In each case, the cause was stupid elitism and ubergrabbiness. If the GOP insists on dying, so be it. I have voted Republican in every POTUS election in my life. I voted for Nixon when Wallace was a better man. I voted for the imbecile Gerald Ford. I voted twice for Bush the Elder (clueless to the max as POTUS). I voted for Dole (tax collector for the welfare state. I voted for McCain (or actually for Sarah Palin). I will NOT vote fr Mitt Romney. In my state, there is no election for governor or US senator. I will vote for Don Manzullo who is my fine Congressman. I have not decided to vote for my worthless allegedly "Republican" state representative and state senator. If the GOP wants my vote this time, it had better not nominate the Mittwit or Huntsman or paleoPaulie nor dredge up some other "moderate" if and when Mittwit and Huntsman fail.
As we in Illinois know at least as well as you do, Obozo is one evil SOB. We also know what happens when the GOP goes full RINO. I am not really sure that calling the Mittwit a RINO is not an insult to RINOs.
I have become one of those actual conservatives who will have a revolutionary GOP candidate prepared to put an end to the despicable excuse for government we have been suffering since Ronaldus Maximus was term limited out in favor of Bush the Brainless Elder OR so\imply refuse to vote for any more Demonrats disguised as "Republican" moderates. Rule or ruin. Upset the game board. I am also more than sick of the braindead mushball wing of the GOP buying nominations, of Tokyo Rove, of Mitch McConnell, of John Boehner, and of each and every RINO bastard in the US Senate.
If the GOP nominates the Mittwit, there will be no such thing as "our candidate." It is not a dilemma. I will NOT vote for any "progressive" Republican again.
Example of attitude: I regard Ron Paul as a treasonweasel of the first order and an imminent danger to the babies and family values. I have spent a lot of time here attacking the worthless SOB. If I lived in Virginia and they do not change the party rules to allow GOP primary voters to vote for any candidates but Mittwit and the Galveston serial liar, I would vote for even paleoPaulie to punish the Mittwit for trying to use money as a substitute for principle. Other conservatives in other states should unite behind Anybody but Romney candidates, one per state, and stop playing into the TARP kings' hands. Our tax money is used to cushion these bastards against any adverse consequences of their own greed while the entire nation suffers economically other than them. Then they use that tax subsidy to export jobs, buy GOP nominations and policy and generally screw the general public and GOP conservatives in particular.
I am not playing their game any more. Mittwit can go straight to hell along with his polo playing pals.
Regaining control of the Senate does not do it either because Republican control is not conservative control. Lisa Moocowski doea not represent me. Nor does Illinois's own Nancyboy Kirk. We can do without LAMAR!!! Alexander, Robert Corker, Richard Lugar, Richard Shelby, John Cornyn, that Hutchinson creature, Mitch McConnell, Roy Blunt, Scott Brown, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Saxby Chambliss and a number of other senior Senate whores. Obozo is not destroying the country by himself (and Romney would be just as bad) and he has plenty of spineless GOP Senate and House co-conspirators since we refuse to purge the GOP of the scum.
Thank you. See #169. I have no computer savvy and do nhot know how to save or re-post. I am an IBM Selectric II writer trapped in a computerized world.
YES!!!
When I was in high school (just before our scientists invented the wheel) we had a football chant: "Kick 'em, stomp 'em, step on their heads." That also applies to the Mittwit and his sycophants: One step at a time (with maximum gusto!).
Not to pick on you, but here's how that sounds: "I have no telephone savvy, and do not know how to dial a number, but I can answer a phone."
The keystrokes and mouse clicks required to save, then re-post your work, are embarrassingly simple to perform. It's actually more work to explain how to do it. You really ought to get someone to show you how it's done.
If you can handle an IBM Selectric II, you're already over-qualified to handle the basic functions on a computer.
Thanks for the response. Let me nose around a bit and I’ll return with some figures.
