You could also argue that replacing Stalin with, say, Gorbachev made the Soviet Union more conservative too. Romney is nobody’s conservative, and we all know it.

As for Obamney, neither one is good. The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Give me a conservative. I’m accountable for my vote to God as well as to man. Though, I know there are Freepers who have to do what they have to do.

But if you think a sitting Republican President would be primaried from the right in 2016, I think you are in error.

So we may learn more?

I’m not voting for a liberal just because you are scared.
Would make an awesome sig line!
***I agree, almost tagline worthy

They can’t say who of the starters they supported , for that very reason.

Cain, and then Gingrich.

Your rhetoric isn't winning your candidate any votes.

“{Do you honestly not see the difference between a liberal and a Marxist? Or do you not believe Obama is a Marxist?”


Actually, liberals and commies were indistinguishable before Mittens got on the (R) ticket. By the way, Trevour Loudon reported that a Marxist in the DSA actually helped craft RomneyCare on behalf of Romney.

I reject the premise that Mitt is evil.

I can share another cliche with you:

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Obam is evil.

Anyone who argues that Romney would be just as bad as Obama hasn’t been paying attention the last 3 1/2 years.
***You mean, guys like JimRob?

YOU are the one who hasn’t been paying attention. This is a CONSERVATIVE website, not a republican one. Conservatism has already lost this election, regardless of who wins.

All your arguments rely on cliches. And why not? The campaign between Obama and Mittens is a joke. Of course the supporters of it must speak in jokes too!

You can search just as well as I can. I'm not doing your work for you.

Your game has been noted before.

This tells me you honestly don't know the difference. You should educate yourself.

“I am voting for a liberal.”

I see the difference. Just never thought I’d see those words written here, on Free Republic. Strange days.

I get where you are. Don’t you think that seeing those words here means that we’ve gone too far? I do. At this point it’s time to hold the line and get ready for what happens next. I’m not trying to be an ass - just...when do we stop?

My hope.. we need jobs to afford ammo. Just lost my job, had two interviews this week. I hope to rebuild my ammo and self confidence stash soon. I had to relocate but that is what’s family is for. Not big brother..

Pointing out that Romney was aided by Marxists to develop RomneyCare tells you I’m not educated about Romney?

How about you educate me, Mittbot?

An 0bama win would be the last nail in the coffin for the republic. The reasons are legion.
1. Supreme court nominees
2. Unrestrained spending with debt crisis
3. Department of Injusice will act on the enemies list
4. Taxmageddon
5. IRS audits against enemies
6. Full amnesty via EO
7. Full cap and tax via EO
8. Censorship of Internet and media via EO
9. Forced unionization, eliminate secret ballot via labor board.
10.Ammo and gun restrictions via EPA, DOJ
11.Full implementation of 0-care.
12.UN implementation of agenda 21

There will no ability for conservatives to fight 0bama and the Left through political or legal means. The economy will collapse and there will be a debt crisis leading to civil unrest. At that point, it will be impossible to restore a constitutional republic. The best thing we could hope for is a coup or revolution against the Leftist tyranny with the installation of a dictatorship that allows for free markets and suppresses Leftist activity. This follows the French revolution model.

So are you a plant from MSNBC or the DNC?
***Are you? You’re busy sowing discord among conservatives on a conservative website. Obama thanks you for your efforts.

Exactly. Any fool can see we will not survive another four more years of this criminal regime.

So you signed up in April (after the primary) to voice your displeasure with Romney? LOL!

And you seem to only show up on threads relative to anti-Romney memes (gaffes, polls, etc). Never on threads where (your boy) Obama is the sole target of scorn, i.e. gaffes, failure of Obamanomics, etc.

Sounds like a troll to me.
