Im WELL aware of the importance of this election... AND of the fact that we are on the verge of giving ourselves a NO WIN scenario...
I fault people like you not necessarily on your commitment to individual freedom/ liberty/ etc... But instead on your flat out REFUSAL to put any depth of thought into what it actually means to nominate a socialist as the GOP candidate AND give the “progressives” (socialists) within the GOP even MORE power and influence over the GOP.
Sure Zero and the socialists in the democrat party are a well known danger, but so is Romney and the socialists in the GOP. It doesn’t matter what “colors” a socialist “plays” under, they all play for the same “team”. Socialism.
If Romney walks out of the convention with the nomination, then wins the presidency. WE ARE F’ing SCREWED. By “we” I mean those of us who want what the founders of this nation wanted. By electing a socialist to president as a republican you will have effectively castrated the only party capable of mounting an opposition to the socialist agenda. That opposition will be gone.
Zero returning as president will be a F’ing nightmare and we may not survive it as a union of states. HOWEVER... The GOP becoming a wing of the socialist party is an extinction level event.
Bullshit!! Romney is as much a “Socialist” as I am. He’s a RINO, I’ll give you that but he’s is the nominee and if you cannot see the importance of getting the asswipe in the WH OUT of there then you and others like you are complicit in what happens should we fail.
You and the others like you need to pull your collective heads out of your asses and do a bit of strategic thinking instead of just considering the next year or two. We need the WH AND THE SENATE BOTH and without the WH the chances of us getting the Senate are reduced and if we don’t get a big enough majority to over ride a presidential veto (which we won’t even if we win the Senate) then we are wasting our time.
This all or nothing attitude of you people who have to have the perfect Conservative will bring this country to ruin. In politics you try for the best you can envision and then you take what is given you and make the best of it and prepare to do better next time. This is what I mean when I say you are not thinking strategically.
