If coral snake shows up there, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.
I thought it was an appropriate analogy.
The Romney supporters love their country but their fear of losing it may be its very destruction.
Don’t you have a list to attend to or something?
That is a damn good post.
Well done roamer_1.
Thanks. I agree in spirit.
The one thing I am certain about, is that Romney does not hate this nation like Obama does. He is woefully misguided in his Leftist leanings, but it’s not mired in Weather Underground and Islamic related vitriol.
None the less, damage is damage, and this guy will do plenty IMO.
Hey, take care...
Equally simple logic says that campaigning for and supporting Romney is campaigning for and supporting government tyranny promoted by the Republican party.
Well I don’t see the gun ban situation on Romney’s website.

You are trusting what he puts on his website without checking the facts??!
Do you often drink Kool-Aid?
Great post, Roamer.
I admit I held my nose and voted for McCain (mostly because of Palin), but no more. This was our election to lose and the GOP-e vomits up Romney. It is the last straw, I’m tired of being used by my own party.
"Let’s get the record straight. First of all, there’s no question that I support 2nd Amendment rights, but I also support an assault weapon ban.
Look, I’ve been governor in a pretty tough state. You’ve heard of blue states. In the toughest of blue states, I made the toughest decisions and did what was right for America.
I have conservative values. ”

no sh!t, Christmas cards from Saudi??? damn good question...
Here's a fact that you can stick in your craw. Reply #89, this thread:
Your current efforts are much better suited elsewhere.(J.R.)
Go ahead, call me a liar again.
This is absolute truth... Or at least, accepting this is where we begin to see peace... camaraderie.
Open primaries and elected Republicans have made it impossible for Conservatives to get any support.
Again: Truth. The ballot box is busted. IMO, there is only one 'box' left to stand upon, unless we move in unison to counteract what has happened to the ballot box. That almost inherently means a 3rd party attempt.
Hopefully in 2016, we can nominate a person that agrees with us. If not we’ll do this all over again.
This is the one place I disagree with you, D1. Our FRiend Yam has one thing right: a sense of dire urgency. I don't want to wait until 2016, to face the same jiggered system all over again. I don't want to sacrifice 2012 to a low turnout yield - I want to blow out all the stops. Right now! Carpe Diem!
I would draw your eye to the TEA Parties - Their origination occurred spontaneously, pretty much in a matter of a month or so - So to those who say it is too late, I would say it is never too late... And what a boon it would be to have such an effort come into bloom right about the end of summer, when most folks are just starting to pay attention to politics: We could be the October surprise for a change!
But if we were to upset things, it would have to start now - Time is of the essence - Otherwise folks will be staying home again, just like last time, and we are doomed to wait till 2016, where btw, all forecasts would indicate that we would have to upset things then anyway. Now is as good a time as any.
“I think what you long for, is a presidential candidate that all conservatives and republicans can get behind, and we all do, but conservatives weren’t given that.”
Given?
Conservatives streamed through Palin, Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Gingrich and Santorum.
Conservatives not-so-brilliantly split their votes, and thereby wasted the political power, which the held.
Not one of those six candidates did ALL the work to win. Plan, organize, raise funds, form alliances, staff, commit, policies, earn support the hard way.
Conservatives have had since 2008 to do this, but they didn’t. Zip, nada. Just bitch, moan, sit on the pity potty that it wasn’t “given” to them.
Real Conservatives believe in doing the work, to earn the reward.
Serious top level political figures do the work. Obama does, Romney does. For the A Game, bring your A Team.
Looking back, if it was a contest between the Conservatives and the Republicans, the Republicans won this time.
Get a better candidates, and do a better job next time.
Thanks for the comments of agreement.
I do think you may misunderstand my thoughts in that I am perfectly willing to join efforts to get our nominee kicked out on his ass, but if that were to happen at this stage, it might have taken place too late to rebound.
It would be a very hard feat to accomplish, but I’m game if the mood can be swung in that direction.
Okay if no one has given you the plan, I will. The plan is to ride the ongoing backlash against Obama's failed Presidency to record Republican majorities in Congress and at the state level and to nominate and elect a conservative like Scott Walker in 2016. That is the only plan where the country moves to the right in the next five years.
