Any doubt in anyone’s mind that if Mitt Romney were president and was supporting this monster of a law that the number of Senators opposing this would be dramatically lower?
Exactly. ORomney is our despot which makes it OK.
Sometimes these statements seem like shaped to make it dead so as to reshape another “better worded” and worse piece of legislation next.
Sounds like another sarcastic joke, indeed.
The Treaty is dead but Obama can do whatever he wants... or Justice Julia Robert in the Supreme Court can play too... ah, that’s the psyOps loophole for you.
Frankly..., I don’t even want to think about it.
McCain voiced support for it at one point, couching it with some malarkey about protections or some such. Never-mind that those protections could be eliminated at any time the U. N. wanted to.
He also wanted us to sign on the the I. C. C. He voiced the same comments about protections here too.
With Romney or McCain in there, we will have the same train wrecks that only a few more people will survive since Obama won’t be in there.
This next four years is going to be very ugly.
I’m often amazed at the regular posters here on Free Republic. I don’t claim to be one of them. But, without hesitation, any thread even mentioning Romney brings out the “I won’t vote for Romney because he’s just like Obama” crowd.
Conservatives are, by nature, far more informed and simply far more rational than liberals. In that regard, conservatives realize how presidential elections work. It comes down to two choices. Yes, I remember the Perot fiasco and the accompanying result. Point made. When liberals are cornered and asked to defend Obama, their answer is USUALLY.......”he’s the same as Romney”. That’s also what I see here.
I really don’t get it. The election of 2008 with John McCain as the nominee caused many conservatives to refuse to vote for him, he is a rino, even with Sarah Palin as his VP choice. The mantra at the time WAS........this will teach the party a lesson and the GOP will surely nominate a ‘true’ conservative (whoever that is). We have a primary contest, at least on this website, anyone supporting ANY of the candidates was attacked,claiming that their nominee surely wasn’t conservative enough, but there weren’t any solutions or candidates offered, just constant criticism of the candidate.
It’s soon to be crunch time. IF you live in a state where the electoral vote matters and you not only write in Donald Duck or something ridiculous in the presidential line, well, then you have zero room to complain about anything. Anything. If you live in Berkely, by all means, go for it.
Who’s your perfect candidate for 2016? Are you on the committee to nominate him or her?
I don’t know, I realize that some of you have to be sincere in your ‘in absentia’ backing of Obama, you DO understand the electoral process. Some coservatives think that the country going further downhill will send some sort of “message” to the GOP ( I heard the same thing in 2008 ).
Conservatives need places to ‘gather’ on the net. I really hoped and thought this would be a good place where rational people could clearly see the need to defeat Obama. But.......it seems that every single blessed thread.........the same “I won’t vote for Romney” stuff comes out.
You won’t vote for Romney. Gotcha. Please don’t insult the intelligence of those who *DO* understand the electoral process by claiming that your non-vote isn’t a plus vote for Obama. It is.
I really don’t understand it. I care about my child. I am worried for my child’s future under this regime. Obama would have FOUR YEARS of a lame duck presidency with absolutely no accountibility to anyone.........yeah, that will teach the GOP a lesson.
Now, I have to go to work because Obama’s economy simply stinks. WE are simply a family trying to survive.
There are indications that Romney opposes LOST:
