Realistically, your choice is to cast a protest vote and re-elect Obama or grit your teeth and vote for Romney. Ross Perot brought us eight years of Clinton.

The GOP-e brought us 8 years of Clinton. Put the blame where it belongs. If they had put up a conservative, Perot wouldn't have had a chance.

Perot for all of his faults was correct about trade and the national debt. Pres. Bush lost because of his policies and the rhetoric of Clinton.

Holy crap, yes. I voted Perot when I was much younger. Never again. Get Mitt a conservative VP and wait. Never again on a third (split the vote and screw the nation) party.

Romney HELPED Obama become POTUS.

FLASHBACK:

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

---

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

---

"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

---

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Realistically, your choice is to cast a protest vote and re-elect Obama or grit your teeth and vote for Romney.

Realistically, it depends on what state the voter is in. Voting for anyone in CA isn't going to matter. Ditto NY and probably two dozen other states.

The poster is in TN. TN didn't go for its native son Algore, if it's at risk of going Obama, it's been a landslide reelection.

I'd never recommend battleground (or Purple) state voters stay home in November. Go and hold your nose (if you must) once again: vote for the major GOP alternative to Obama and for the best candidates down the ballot.

[butterdezillion]

Or vote for Gingrich right now. Romney is not our candidate yet, and if people would stop grumbling and get behind Gingrich we could keep Romney from becoming our candidate.

That is what we HAVE to put our energy behind.

Third parties are a vote for Obama.

And the reason that Romney has gotten where he is - besides buying endorsements, outspending his opponents, and the R establishment breaking laws on his behalf - is the failure of conservatives to galvanize behind one candidate. Now that we’re down to Gingrich as the only conservative in the race we have no excuse to not solidify behind him right now.

No excuse.

Ross Perot brought us eight years of Clinton.
______________________________________________________________

One of the worst mistakes I ever made was voting for Ross Perot. It not only brought us eight years of Clinton, we’re stuck with the Clintons for life. They will not go away. Wouldn’t surprise me if Obozo dumped Biden and Hillary ran as his VP.

8 years of Clinton worked out better than it would have been with the GOP alternatives.

This reminds me of an vinyl record that gets stuck repeating the same words over and over. No Perot didn't bring us 8 years of Clinton. Poppy gave us eight years of Clinton because Clinton ran to the right of the Northeastern Rockefeller Liberal. So did Bob Dole. Remember that one? Dole surrounded himself with the GOP liberal of liberals and lost just as Romney will loose.

Poppy abandoned the Reagan doctrines, legacy, and policies, which cost him a second term. Please don't use Perot as an excuse for Poppy's own failures.

Realistically if Romney get the GOP nod I'll do as I have done for the last several POTUS elections and vote Independent.

BTW care to explain how Clinton up against a six year GOP two house GOP majority still managed to get most of his agenda accomplished? Answer is he had help like certain liberal GOP congress critters and senators. GW Bush following Clinton with his own party as six year two house majority could only increase size of federal government, expand presidential powers, and create police state programs now being used against our very liberty and freedom.
