I reached the conclusion the morning this decision came down that it could only be two things:
1) Roberts is stark-raving mad.2) Roberts, being the inside-the-beltway Republican political hack lawyer that he is, decided, probably with some help, that this was the best thing he could do to try and help elect Mitt Romney.
And, since I don't think Roberts is nuts, I settled on number 2. It was a cynical, cruel, unprincipled, unconstitutional political calculation.
There are no controls on the anti-Romney people's language either.
Not a problem? Not a waste of time?
I’m the least worried guy I know.
When was the last time something good happened? We have to go back to last century to find Republicans on the national level that did something that advanced a conservative agenda.
When are you going to wake up and realize electing RINOs like the Bushes and Romney does more harm than good?
The whole Bush Presidency now that Roberts has gone liberal was a disaster. Romney is even more liberal, dishonest and untrustworthy than Bush was.
I'm not giving up, BTW. I favor building a conservative majority in Congress and waiting for a Scott Walker or another conservative to win the nomination and Presidency in 2016.
Then, Romney gets in, convinces RINOs in Congress to enact an Obama-lite agenda, the agenda fails, Republicans are routed and lose control of Congress in 2014 and a Democrat is elected President in 2016. Wash. Rinse. And repeat.
If that happens, you damn well better acknowledge you were wrong and realize voting for Republicans like the Bushes and Romney is the problem, not the solution. Some us already know that.
They do and that is why conservatives must vote for conservatives and stop pretending RINOs aren't going to undermine conservatism from within the Republican party and move the nation to the left. It's a strategy that has NEVER worked. Nixon and Bushes were a disaster. Why would you expect Romney to be any better?
I doubt if RINO Romney cares enough to want to fix it...
Betryal does that to people.
Some of our wise enough to understand hope for conservatism doesn't lay in the hands of Republicans like Mitt Romney, who is a flip-flopping liar with a record to the left of Bill Clinton.
And, again, we're not giving up. We're simply refuse to vote for Republicans clearly hostile toward conservatism. We will continue to elect conservatives to Congress and that state level and are willing to wait for a conservative like Scott Walker to win the nomination and Presidency in 2016.
God is telling you to vote for the father of gay marriage, a man that used to attend Planned Parenthood fundraisers and included $50 abortions in his healthcare legislation? No, He isn't. Voting for a candidate like that is sinful.
>> Everytime something bad happens, we got the “all is lost” crowd bitching and moaning and talking about how nothing good can ever exist again.
>> Then start effing shooting!
Shoot? Hell, they won’t even vote.
These ideologues aren’t serious about jack. No alternatives, no possibilities, no considerations. They’re useless defeatists. The refuse to lead, they refuse to follow.
Do you really want to compare Romney's record in Massachusetts with Bill Clinton's in Arkansas? If you did, you'll find Clinton was more conservative than Romney as governor.
So, anyone who won't vote for a pro-choice democrat socialist is now an "ideologue," and is not serious? Interesting definitions.
No alternatives, no possibilities, no considerations.
Not true.
Not so sure it's white flags vs. red flags - some are grasping at straws to find an upside, but the awakening of the People is only useful if they take appropriate action. November will be the puddin of proof and hopefully some Governors will step headlong into the fray and serve as rallying points for Tea Party Conservatives to gather round.
I believe that things may get moving after the 4th of July vacation period. The pot has been stirred, the heat turned up, in more ways than one, and November is not a conservative’s only hope.
I’m no fan of the ACA decision, Mitt Romney, or really so much of what the GOP has been doing lately (actually, I think I could run the state party better than the folks who’ve been doing it). But anybody on here who thinks the Mittster is the most liberal governor in history, let them come to California. I give you Edmund Gerald Brown, Junior, a.k.a. Jerry, a.k.a. Moonbeam. We...uh...win.
Hell, Romney doesn't even win most liberal (R) governor. Remember Ah-nold Schwarzen-kennedy??? California still wins, er, loses, er, whatever....
I believe that Independence Day would serve as a great launching pad instead of a reason to put it off - let's hope some Conservative Governors use it as a platform to publicly state they will fight this Federal overreach with everything at their disposal...
