@ post 1012 - wow, I will never be able read all of these.

I won’t dispute a thing you said about Mitt Romney. I am depressed about his seemingly inevitable nomination although I truly feel like our nation is too far gone for any single politician to fix. I don’t expect him to reverse the downward trend of our nation and government.

I had a long drive today for work and thought about this. I stand by what I previously said regarding SCOTUS because, as horrifying as it sounds, that is the only thing holding our current government leaders back - and I include most of the GOP in Congress with that statement.

I am in Washington state on the conservative side. If Romney runs the uninspiring campaign that I expect it is unlikely that my vote will count since the Seattle/Olympia left coast corridor rules statewide elections.

I won’t spend time on this site trying to pursuade any person to vote for a particular candidate. We are all adults that make our own decisions and our children will live with it.

I think our nation is finished. I can’t see a pursuasive path to cut entitlement spending and the size/power of government. That would take a generation to accomplish and the handout crowd will mobilize when they get cut off and take back power within 2 years. I don’t think “insert your dream candidate here” can fix it. That is just the way I see it.

If Romney nominates a couple of lukewarm Justices that may give us a few more years to get the hobby farm built up. The extra time to prepare for what may be coming will not be wasted. I won’t be voting for him. I will be voting against the other guy.

I believe we should be able to discuss issues in a reasonable manner. Thank you for believing the same and each of us should do what we believe is best. May God bless you and yours.

LOL. I know you won't! God bless you, I even received FR mail with links to your post from last night!

You have no argument from me regarding the importance of SCOTUS. In fact, Romney's best shot at garnering conservatives is SCOTUS and stressing the importance of our TENTH Amendment, and particularly SCOTUS provided SCOTUS strikes down obamacare in June with a 5-4 decision.

I've always held that FReepers are some of the smartest people on the whole of the Internet and right now some are venting, some are thinking in writing, others are still trying to come to grips with Romney as "the inevitable" nominee, while others like me, have already made up my mind, but still praying for a miracle, and others are like you, a man of good conscience, who's planning to act in what you think is the best avenue for your children and your yet to be born grandchildren.

I have three adult children, and one plans to vote for Romney is he's the nominee. I would no more discard him, than anyone here of the same mindset, who's prayed and continues to pray about his or her decision.

This is one of the ugliest primaries ever. I blame Romney for that. I don't believe any of the other candidates would have stooped to his level in vicious attack ads. Romney robbed all of us. We deserved a primary filled with positive ideas, visions and solutions for a better and more prosperous America.

Keep praying. It's said that God works in mysterious ways. Trust in Him. It's only April.

God bless everyone here.
