Would a Romney-Gingrich ticket be acceptable to Jim Robinson & other conservative Freepers? [NO!! ]

[Not only no, but HELL NO!! NEVER AGAIN!! - Jim] | April 9, 2012 | Ralph Mitchell

[marron]

I will vote against Obama.

Then we’ll have our work cut out for us to keep Mitt from selling us the same stuff O was selling, but more competently and at a discount.

Either way, its going to be a long four years.

[cotton1706]

As I’ve said before, Gingrich would be fantastic as president of the senate. He knows parliamentary maneuvers better than anybody.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

You can have Obama with a likely Republican House and Senate majority blocking every piece of legislation and every SC nominee he proposes, or you can have Romney with a likely Republican House and Senate majority telling the rest of us to shut up and support him as he panders in vain to liberals and the editorial pages of the New York Times and Washington Post.

The VP in either scenario will be in Dayton or Muncie cutting ceremonial ribbons with a big pair of scissors, and simply doesn't matter.

[mnehring]

Why would you choose the Constitution or Libertarian parties? Their current nominees have pretty much the same negatives as Romney. Libertarian party has Gary Johnson who might as well be a Democrat, pro abortion, pro pot, anti-gun, etc. The Constitution Party has Virgil Goode who up until a few years ago was a Democrat, switched to a Republican when he lost a primary and voted RINO. He is just as liberal as Romney on most issues.

If you are going to go third party, at least choose one that has a Conservative candidate versus trading one liberal for another.

[SCalGal]

No. Romney is not acceptable. Romney signed an assault weapons ban, inaugurated gay marriage, and Romneycare. These actions belie any words that he would say, or his supporters would say. The excuse that he did these things out of political expediency indicates that he is a man of no principles. Romney is not a clear alternative to Obama, and if nominated that is a clear sign that the GOP is willing to accept socialism as the future of the US. If I vote for Romney that’s what I’m endorsing, and I am not doing it. In May I’m going to polls, and I’m going to vote for Newt, Santorum, or even Ron Paul, but not Romney. In the fall, I’ve got some people downticket I am going to support- conservative Republicans, naturally. But Romney, no.

Ditto. Romney is unacceptable.

[Graybeard58]

I also voted third party in 1996 (Constitution) despite running on the same ballot as Dole in my home state. I do NOT regret that.

I voted for the Libertarian candidate in the 2010 Senatorial election in your home state. Remember the candidates?

Voting other than Republican was a first ever for me but I'll do it again if Romney is on the ticket.

[JimRed]

The current GOP as it is now is turning Conservatives off & there may come a time that we will have to form our own Conservative party or be slaves to the GOP/RAT parties forever.

We have to either take back the GOP, or form the Conservative Party. Which is the most practical move?

[Psalm 144]

“But many evangelical Christians will vote 3rd party rather than vote Romney. If I understand correctly, they would rather die an unspeakably painful and sinister death than cast a vote for a Mormon.”

Mormon is the new Negro apparently. But then, both demographics are voting about 94% for their respective homie, as that overrides any actual history of governance.

[Above My Pay Grade]

>>>If you vote Libertarian, you will be helping to re-elect Obama.<<<

a) The Liberal traitors in the GOP will have already re-elected Obama by nominating Romney, who is totally unelectable.

b) Even if Mitt could some how beat Hussein, he would be every bit as horrible as Obama. Look at his RECORD not the obvious LIES he started telling it 2007. His is a radical, left-wing Liberal.

[NakedRampage]

Is the bamster preferable to you then?

Believe me, I find it horribly depressing that we cannot get a real conservative nominated, especially after 2008, but what can we do? Obama is literally the worst thing that could happen to this country.

[COBOL2Java]

If you vote Libertarian, you will be helping to re-elect Obama.

Sorry, that doesn't work any more, and frankly we're all very tired of hearing it. Go peddle your GOP-e scare tactics somehwere else.

[cardinal4]

If you vote Libertarian, you will be helping to re-elect Obama.

No, the GOP is helping to re-elect Obama by backing such a loser. I aint eatin' my peas, GOP!

[Psalm 144]

“I had one horse in this race, willing to do anything to get her elected, and they destroyed her before she could get to the gate. I would have fought for her to try and make my vote not symbolic. In 2008, I voted for the girl. Now, I’m done.”

Across the nation, you speak for millions.

[Breto]

On a scale of 1 to 10 lets say marxism is a one and conservative is a 10. I would put RINO at about a 5.0 and would rate Romney a 3.5. So on my scale he doesn’t even get to the exalted rank of RINO.

On policy matters Romney is very close to Obama. Both are total liars. Both big government men, both raised taxes, both support the gay agenda ( Romney even more than Obama did) both nominated liberal judges both want ed government controlled healthcare, and on and on.

Obama and a republican senate holds the hope of deadlock and a slowing of the march left. Romney and a republican senate would be a real slouch left given the republicans would not fight their own president.

I cannot vote for Romney in any regard I don’t care who he tags for VP. Him as president is the worst possible scenario for the country and conservatives. (in my humble opinion)

[SamAdams76]

Romney might consider it if Gingrich showed that he could deliver the conservative votes. However, have you seen Gingrich's primary results lately? 8% in Illinois, 6% in Wisconsin. 11% in Maryland, 14% in Kansas, less than 1% in ultra-conservative Wyoming. Even in the Deep South, supposedly Gingrich's stronghold, he got only 16% in Louisiana a couple weeks ago. For Gingrich, the past couple months have been a train wreck of epic proportions. He says he is going to Tampa but he might need to thumb a ride because he's out of cash and out of luck.

I know that Gingrich has his fans here but let's face it, Gingrich is politically toxic and does not bring anything to the table. In fact, he would be a drag on the ticket as the recent primary results have shown. It's time to end this silly pipe dream of Gingrich finding a way of getting on the ticket.

Don't shoot the messenger, take a look at the recent results for yourselves.

[COBOL2Java]

The GOP has been like an abusive husband and conservatives like a battered wife. Hopefully enough of us won’t take it any more and when Romney loses this November the GOP might take a hint that they can no longer take us for granted.

Would a Romney-Gingrich ticket be acceptable to Jim Robinson

Gosh, I don't know. Let me check that for you...

McCain was at least pro-life and a war hero. But I didn’t vote for him, I voted for Sarah. I will not pull the lever for the abortionist/socialist big government RINO Romney. And I don’t care who he selects as a running mate. Never again.

Umm, nope. I guess not.

[CanuckYank]

I am inclined to think that the BIG FIX is definitely in.

I don’t see too much discussion here about this issue, but it seems (at least to me) VERY unlikely that enough voters will ignore the mormon issue to elect Romney, let alone whether enough conservatives will “hold their collective noses” and vote for him.

I realize that it is a BIG organization with worldwide activities and influence, but the fact that 40+% of the electorate can still tell pollsters that they support the idiot/criminal/marxist/muslim (take your pick) that presently inhabits the WH, gives me little optimism that ANY of them will vote for Mitt.

Of the remaining 60% give or take undeclared Ob supporters, and declared Ob critics, I think MANY of them will not be able to get past the mormon issue and hence will not vote for Mitt.

I think they picked Mitt just for the very reason - they expect in the end that the mormon issue will doom him to losing to the Dem candidate, regardless of who it turns out to be.

The most depressing aspect about ALL of this is that at best, all we can hope to do is slow the progress towards the inevitable.

The insidious and cancerous growth of political Correctness and “Fairness”/Diversity has doomed this once great country, I fear.

From bus drivers making $100K to firefighters/cops and their obscene comp plans, the public employees financial atrocities, the escapades of our elected representatives, rampant voter fraud and the explosion of Homeland Security’s unconstitutional slamming of our basic rights we have some dreary days ahead.

We still have a nation that desperately needs to be saved - from Obama,Inc.

Remember, I said I live in CA. My vote wont count in the General, and the RNC has made it so it doesn't count in the primaries, judges have made my state initiatives not count.

Obama, Inc is just a more aggressive version of the RNC. I refuse to be the RNC's version of the DNC's Holder's people.
