My alternative answer is in the post. I’m supporting the only conservative in the race, Virgil Goode.

RINO Tom Ridge was elected governor of this state twice without my vote.

Arlen Specter won four or five times without my vote.

Romney is the slow death and Obama the quicker way in a nation that is around 16 trillion dollars in the hole.

Paul Ryan in Congress doesn’t even envision a balanced budget for more than ten years.

Pat Toomey has a plan to do it in ten years with “loopholes” closed to increase taxes.

The two big parties are kicking the can down the road and their delay in arresting the debt will allow the bubble to burst.

I sort of think they know it and will use the “crisis” when it comes to bring in austerity measurers.

The D’s and R’s will do what the big Greek parties have done.

A “government of national unity” that will cut entitlements and raise our taxes at the same time.

There is no seriously conservative policy to quickly end budget defecits and stop the debt crisis.

ON THIS BIG ISSUE I SEE NEITHER SIDE IS REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT IT.

There is no reason to vote for either one of these guys because they aren’t serious about the BIG ISSUE.

We can vote for ABO. And we can get what WE think would be the most conservative Congress ever.

But in truth, we HAD that ...and it still didn’t get us anywhere.

This country needs a TOTAL overhaul, from the BOTTOM up. Conservatives - it’s time to take back your neighborhood, then your local district, then your city, your state, and from there on up.

We let things go for too long. This is where we’re at. If we want it back, we have to get in and run for dog catcher, and go from there.

Amen brother.

We’re in for a world of hurt whether it’s Obama or Romney.

I have no idea what you talking about and frankly don’t care.

Enjoy FR. What’s left of it.

Cheers and adieu,

It must make you feel great being the ugliest, most hateful guy on this once-great forum at the very moment that ugliness and hatefulness are bringing it down.

Congratulations on your exemplary service to the collectivist cause, comrade.

I just took up residency in TX. I will be voting for Ron Paul in the primary.

Why? Because he is the only left in the race that isn’t the RINO-Romney. Yeah, he’s a nationalist-kook but maybe, just maybe, we can get a brokered convention.

Speaking for myself, I haven’t called anyone names for saying they’re going to vote for Romney in order to oust Obama. I actually understand that, in view of how desperately I want Obama out.

But it goes both ways. Some of us just cannot vote for Romney because of religious objections. Yet some on this site respond to that like liberals would. “Is Jesus talking to you now?” “Is God running for office?” Or with accusations of being self-righteous, pure, etc.

If you want one to end, you have to be willing to stop the other.

Last I heard; there is still something called the Confirmation Process.

Instead of being merely snide and condescending maybe you could say something intelligent and substantive about why you think the next Senate, even if it is GOP-led, will block Obama's judicial appointments. Please be sure to make reference to specific instances in the past where the GOP blocked prior liberal judicial appointments.

Republicans never had a super majority Senate, and everything still had to accommodate Democrats too. That may be part the reason Bush got started on failed government stimulus like tax rebates, and his tax cuts weren’t big enough.

ON the other hand, last night, after going through about 3 pages of posted stories all of which were horribly sad “personal interest” stories, I was thinking I’d rather have seen another half-dozen Romney attack threads than see one more story about a mother stabbing her kid, or a wife burning her husband, or whatever the other sad stories were that I have now blocked out of my mind.

I think that if Virgil Goode and the Constitution Party do for Obama what Ralph Nader did for Bush in 2000 then the GOP-e will be far more likely to move left to replace conservatives rather than move right to win them back.

Gore would have been potus without Nader in the race.

The idea that it is ok to give Obama a second term out of romeny hate is sheer madness IMHO.

Romney stinks and is a RINO, but he is not a communist zealot.

Love you, too. Have a great Cinco de Mayo. Remember, it's a celebration about France getting their arses handed to them.

I'm of the same mind Jim.

I will resists to may last breath knowingly giving any more support to evil - which I consider the gop-e to be.
I also consider those who attempt to coerce me to be in league with evil, but will ‘shake the dust of my sandals’ as I walk from their attempts.

Supporting what is right should always be our effort.

I doubt any FReepers supported Romney in the primaries or will vote for him in the upcoming primaries.

There have been many Romney supporters on FR over the years but there has also been a concerted and ugly campaign to drive them away and silence them.
