Clinton made it two years after his re-election before the GOP worked up the spine to try impeachment. Obama has a lot more going against him than Clinton. The way I see it, the choice is two more years of Obama followed by two years of complete gridlock with Biden making the liberals look like buffoons ... or eight years of the liberal republican Romney destroying the "conservative" brand for decades to come followed by at least four years of a liberal democrat president after him. It's a no-brainer for me. I'd prefer a redo in four years with a strong conservative presence than a redo in twelve years with the a weak conservative presence. But if you want to support Romney and help redefine "conservatism" in his liberal image further destroying America, go for it. It's your right.

Some of you people are amazing.

Obama 2nd term = 100% chance of collapse and communism

Romney 1st term = 50-75% he is a disaster.

Vote for the 25% he does the right thing. Its not a matter of anything but facing R E A L I T Y.

An Obama 2nd term just because some peoples’ little pony and unicorn was not on the ticket in the first place is insane.

We were willing to accept him over McCain in 2008, why aren’t we willing to do so over the dictator-wannabe?

"We"? Speak for yourself. I've never supported the grinning liberal fraud.

Wait - haven’t most of those saviors you listed said voting for that idiot Mitt, and not some pretend candidate, is a good idea? Then they must suck too. If only everyone were as wonderful as the FR-e

You propose some revolutionary fantasy where the angry horde storms in and overturns the election to strong arm their own candidate into the position. It will never happen....

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, because you and others believe it.

Until you find it within yourself to stand up and disagree with the course of events, they'll continue to steam roller on. And over us.

I do not in any way, shape or form support Ron Paul. I do not support Obama, either.

I want Obama out of the White House! Republicans have an opportunity to wipe-out Democrats, and the GOPe backs...a socialist like Romney! What the Hell?

Political conventions are just that - political. No one delegate is required BY LAW to vote for Romney. There are rules but Romney himself has conspired with GOPe in many states and cheated.

ABO will not win this election for the Republicans. The socialist Romney will not win this election BECAUSE he isn’t offering any reason to vote FOR him over socialist Obama!

We can only win this election with a candidate who can state clearly what he will do to pull us out of the mess created by Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama. Romney isn’t going to do that because he has no core conservative values.

Delegates to Tampa this August aren’t stupid. They’re aware of this problem. Romney can threaten all he wants - there is no enthusiasm for his candidacy and ‘whipping’ the delegates will only result in revolt.

The convention this August in Tampa will be a free-for-all. It will be a political party looking for a real candidate.

If you’re enthused by Romney, fine: all I hope you would consider is an alternative to the road to serfdom.

I don’t look at any of these people as saviors.

I have one focus in 2012 and one only - GETTING RID OF OBAMA

P E R I O D

This nation will not survive a second term of this disaster.

I am going ask the question that Mark Levin asked last week, who would be the candidate to replace Romney at the convention.

Palin has said she is not interested. I keep hearing replace, but with no realistic alternative.

Anything can happen at the convention. He wasn’t the only person who acquired delegates during the past primary season.

I don't care how much you may hate Romney, or who you wanted to see get the nomination. But you and anyone else who thinks "anything can happen at the convention" are so clueless as to not even be part of this conversation. You may as well have posted a picture of a rabbit with a pancake on its head.

This thread did bring out the defacto Obama supporters. I figured it would.

He didn’t “earn” delegates, Kaslin.

In many cases, there was no alternative to Romney because the state GOP folks screwed over the other candidates. Voter turnout was very, very low.

Romney will not win against Obama. Both are socialists, and the majority of Americans don’t want socialism!

Principles, My FRiend, are like virginity, once one loses or abandon them, you do not get them back. It matters not why one sells their principles, it only matters that one sold them.

This is the message that I've been pounding for months now.

Personal honor and integrity are just that. Personal. No one has the power to take them away from you. Only you have the power to relinquish them. If you can be persuaded to cross that line into darkness, you are forever degraded by a choice which you made yourself.

If I am to die, I certainly won't do it by going out with a whimper and a boot lick. I would rather be crushed to death with my personal honor and integrity intact, while spitting in the tyrant's face, thank you.

Check your history books and tell me how many times an elected president has lost the nomination of his party for re-election. I know the answer already. If that is your best plan, you should know this answer too. We pushed the GOP for a conservative candidate for the last three-plus years ... hard. And, in return, they pushed for Romney. The odds of us ousting Romney in a primary three-plus years from now is a big fat zero.

The numbers work better with an Obie win, the the GOP gains seats in 2014 and we can try to run an actual conservative in 2016. Putting a socialist with an R after his name in the White House give the libs total control.

Bingo.

The worst is that ABO is risking a landslide for Romney -- even Rush talks about how weak and vulnerable and desperate Obama is. So instead of taking advantage of that, wherein on a split vote plurality, Obama could very conceivably get in office with a large majority of the popular vote cast against him and LACKING in spades any kind of mandate, and of having confidence in our Republican Congress to steamroll that kind of humiliated, despised president ...

... ABO seriously dangerously risks getting Romney in on a landslide. We'd all know it was a referendum on Obama ... and while it's all about Obama now, by the end of 2013, and 2014, it would be all about Romney. He and the GOP-e and moderate Republicans and Democrats would point to his landslide as a popular mandate FOR Romney's "progressive style of governing." And the numbers would back them up. And Rush could pontificate until he was blue in the face and it wouldn't phase Romney or Moderates in the slightest.

I'm voting to prevent Romney from getting that landslide, and I'm banking on a pretty good bet that enough Democrats are going to defect from Obama to give him no more than a weak plurality. Either way, the candidate will lack any numbers to back up claims of having a "mandate." With Romney, we had all BETTER pray that if he wins, it's only on a weak plurality where he is denied any grounds for claiming a mandate.

There is no voting "against" Obama, there is only voting FOR government tyranny under "Republican" to replace him. I refuse to vote for that. I will be praying for a plurality and voting for it, too.

Funny how in this supposed "circular firing squad," everybody's aiming at the same guy.

Impeachment of 0bama? That’s your strategy? No, wait...how about an asteroid striking Washington DC and destroying all the liberals at once? It’s probably more realistic, coz if 0bama wins, he’s probably keeping the Senate, and given the way the pendulum swings, he’ll have the House in 2014. At the very least, the last time I read the Constitution it takes two-thirds of “members present” to convict on Articles of Impeachment. That’s 67 senators, meaning you need fewer than 34 democrat senators. Not one of them will break ranks to vote impeachment. The democrats will never have less than 34 Senate seats.

But hey, if you want to live your fantasy of 0bama being impeached, go ahead. It’s your right.

Of everyone who ran - none were the best we have.

Santorum, Newt, Cain, Perry, Bachmann Paul, all had their own issues. not a single one of them was the best and guess what?

Each of them would have a hard time vs Obama as well, but also lack the fundraising abilities.

It is what it is. The issue is getting rid of the Communist Destroyer and then fight Mittens at all junctures.

Dude. Get over it. We lost the primaries. The moderate/liberals won. They got more votes for their man. Romney is the party's nominee. You can choose to vote for that nominee in the general election or not.

No, I'm not on board with your non-plans for convention upheaval to overturn the will of the voters. Neither are you.

You are not going to the convention. You are not going to raise up some hell and get the nomination changed.

You are going to watch Romney accept the nomination on television. Or you are going to turn off the television. That's it.

You are not a revolutionary. You just play one on the internet.

If you think that Baraq and the Chicago mob will somehow be restrained in their attitude and behavior because they won with a plurality, you’re just wrong.
