If so, sounds like suicide moves to me. Why, when Barack’s doing this was driving voters to him? I haven’t heard folks on Townhall complaining about this yet, but it’s surely only a matter of time (it is by no means in the tank for Romney, he has a lot of enemies there).
Don't sit it out. Vote for Goode and the Constitution party. Send a signal to the Republicans that they aren't the only game in town for conservatives.
I would add incoherent to the go along with ignorant.
Hubby and I just had this same conversation the other day.He was talking about all of the buys he works with in is union shop who are ready to go to DC and remove Obama from office themselves.Many of these guys have ever voted R before but this time they are fed up.You see the factory was given stimulus $$ to build a new dept. then the epa came in and said they couldn’t do that because the hill next to them would trap pollutants too close to residential areas.There is a pottery less than 1/4mi away that uses much worse stuff than the glass factory does.
King Barry loses in a landslide and we get King Barry in a different package.
I don't see Bishop Romney appointing conservatives to the USSC, especially if he'd have to fight to get them through Congress, and I don't believe Bishop Romney will repeal BarryCare if the USSC upholds all or part of it. Even if BarryCare is off the table, no one in their right mind can believe Bishop Romney will do the sort of cutting that needs done or cut the right things when he makes token cuts to try and look like he's doing something. Internationally, he's an even sadder sack of manure.
The only hope is to have a Congress that is as driven and well managed as it was under Newt to counter whoever wins. What are the odds of getting someone like Newt given the fact that the Vichy Republicans worked harder to get rid of Newt than the Fascists themselves did?
Bishop Romney doesn't have what it takes to deal with things finally hitting bottom. We're in free fall now having already gone over the cliff by electing Barry in the first place. All Bishop Romney will be good for is to take the blame for everything so the Fascists can bandy his name around for four or five decades the way they did the name Hoover.

This must be garnering him opposition even within the Mormon camp — many there still view it as a “clean living” faith.
How is this going to give any state Romneycare that didn’t already want it? Or how would Newt Gingrich, say, have stopped that from happening?
Absolutely.
Rush joined the “in” crowd. He’s for whoever the Vichy anoint with elephant urine and make into the candidate.
It's too far out to have anything other than a gut feel, but I agree with Rush. When people get in the booth and wonder about four more years of this crap, knowing no one will know how they voted, they will vote against the regime.
The left ridiculed Reagan so much that it became very uncool to support him in 1980. But in the booth, people wanted no more of what the peanut had made of the country.
Most incoherent post, I'd agree. I was surprised that Deb understood it enough to call it ignorant.
“Let me know how the election goes, I’ll be sitting this one out. I will not vote for mitt the liberal.”
~ ~ ~
I am sitting this one out too, maybe, I’ll go and vote a write-in.
The fact is Romney hasn’t shown yet by his actions that he
is for life. He still is a maximum pro-abort.
Why do people fall for his lies? The times...
But it's possible to live in another bubble; as Rush himself said today, he lives in the second-richest zip code in the US.
"And I cited the 1980 campaign as an example."
That's also problematic, in that he seems to not realize that fully 1/3rd of today's electorate wasn't even born by then. Add in the under-18 1980 (waves hand) population and it's fully half of the electorate.
However, none of that changes 2008 + IN, NC, FL, NV, VA, OH = 271EV as the floor for Mittens, not the ceiling. History backs me up on this as modern-era 271's are rare -- namely, one: Bush v. Gore.
The excess depends on how many flips Mittens can get in the Rust Belt, and can he bring CO & NH back (doesn't need either to win). The latter seems likely.
If Mittens wants to win, all he has to do is Dummy Up. He’s gotten away with it this far already and he can’t defend his record because its indefensible.
There are far too many self described centrists, moderates, and know nothings in the US today. If Romney just keeps playing stupid he’ll win because he can then blame the failure of his own policies, which are virtually identical to Obama’s, on the Other guy whose currently implementing them.
Actually, there is no "middle" since the American electorate can be described as laid out along a bi-modal saddle.
You are either part of the two broad coalition groups ~ variously described as parties, or you are part of a thin fringe out there in the wilderness around those two large groups, or modes!
Barry Goldwater came up with this discovery, but he was not able to exercise it. Instead Lyndon Baines Johnson listened carefully and used it to carve his way to a landslide.
Barry did know what hit him!
Later Richard NIxon used it twice, as did Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.
The deal is YOU HOLD YOUR BASE while peeling off a coalition partner from the other mode or "Pole".
If you make a dive for the middle, there's nobody there to start with, and your own base will stay home!
It's highly probable that with Romney running against Obama that both of these guys will dive for the middle ~ find nobody there, and then chase everybody home. I expect the fewest number of presidential votes in the last 125 years!
The rest of the race may go along as usual and Republicans should pick up the Senate while keeping the House. But that Presidential thing has to do with who loses the fewest votes from the base, not at all about attracting more votes from the other guy's base.
I think this signals the destruction of the Presidency as a viable office. It's an antiquated 18th century theory no longer of much utility.
Bite me.
Nice to see you back and in fighting form.
First off, Romney will lose so it doesn’t mean much to say how he will push the Left’s agenda.
Romney is already on record for saying he is for keeping the ‘good parts’ of Obamacare. He is not for repealing it.
Newt would from day one defund Obamacare or reallocate whatever funds were there for it and simultaneously put Congress in a vice to repeal the whole thing.
The point is that it’s not so important now which of Obama or Romney will be President, it’s important for conservatives to have a big influence in the US Senate.
Gridlock will be good.
Here here. Thank you!
But I'm guessing you will be whining about not voting for Willard on thread after thread after thread, right? If you are not going to make an impact in this election, why do you feel the need to let everyone know over and over again?
