Puh-leeze. Don’t call our principles “distorted.” Romney was the grandfather of Obamacare. And you think he’s the best way to defeat socialism? Bringing the principles you hate into our own party doesn’t make sense as a way to defeat them, period. If Romney is the nominee, we’ve ALREADY lost. Although I won’t be voting for either, at least if Obama’s elected we got a good chance to nominate a real conservative in 2016, the same way Reagan came back after Jimmy Carter.
Would you have rathered 4 years of Carter with 8 years of Reagan or 4 years of Ford, followed by, I don’t know, more Ford, more RINOs, or the Democrats winning power during the ‘80s?
The reelection of Obama is going to be a terrible thing but we can survive it if we keep having elections like we did in 2010. The Tea Party principle is to elect conservatives and throw any bums out who diverge from their principles. If you don’t stand on principles, why are you voting at all?
Not to mention, if we DID find a 3rd party conservative candidate who became as prominent as Ross Perot, they probably WOULD stand a much better chance of being elected than Perot did.
Brainwashing is a terrible thing.
[[Would you have rathered 4 years of Carter]]
We’re NOT talking Jimmy carterp- We’re talkign abotu 4 more years of someoen MUCH MUCH more evil and anti-American than Carter ever thought of being if everyoen just throws their hands i nthe air and says ‘Romeny can’t win so there’s no sense even goign out to vote-’ or ‘romeny isn’t my ideal candidate, and espouses thigns I don’t agree with, so therefore it’s better to not vote’- both of these scenarios ensures another 4 more years of thwem ost evil president we’ve ever haqd or ever will have mostl ikely
Let’s not forget- Not that I’m stickign up for romeny- or tryign to defend his compromises, but he governed in a VERY liberal state, and in oder to get anythign through that he wanted to, He no doubt had to compromise-
[[If you don’t stand on principles, why are you voting at all?]]
I will vote because I AM standign on my principles- and because I also realize that even htough romeny iswn’t a good candidate, he’s the ONLY chance we have of defeating someone MUCH MUCH worse- I hate the fact that romeny is our only choice- I much woudl rather msot anyone else be the candidate- but that’s not how the cards have palyed out unfortunately
[[Not to mention, if we DID find a 3rd party conservative candidate who became as prominent as Ross Perot, they probably WOULD stand a much better chance of being elected than Perot did.]]
too many epopel wouldn’t vote a non traditional candidate- I’m afraid- I’d be all for a 3’rd party IF they actually stood a chance- I hate hte fact that the GOP has slid so far to the left- but a vote for a third party is no different than not voting at all- it’d be one less vote obama had to worry about agaisnt him
