Close. I will not support Romney because he won't repeal ObamaCare or the rest of Obama's legacy. I don't see it as a "win" to elect someone who wears our t-shirt but plays for the other team. With the exception of those few in that category, RINOs who would cement Obama's recession in place permanently, I'll agree with your post. I favored Fred last time, but found him mostly dull in his speeches. I support Palin, DeMint, Bachmann, and Cain this year, with minor fluctuations in that order based on their competitiveness. There are others I would support, but there are also some who will not get my vote. If necessary, I will write in Palin/Bachmann or Palin/DeMint, but I will vote (mainly to get a conservative Congress) . . . just not necessarily for the GOP nominee.
“Close. I will not support Romney because he won’t repeal ObamaCare or the rest of Obama’s legacy. I don’t see it as a “win” to elect someone who wears our t-shirt but plays for the other team.”
I felt the same way a while back. Maybe even more so.
All the reason to work harder in the primaries. I will support Palin when she announces after Labor Day (or on the 3rd) but I could never sit home and watch the Kenyan Marxist get re-elected.
This isn’t a sport. It’s our lives. I understand your “team” analogy, but if this guy Perry gets the nod, he might not throw as hard as he can at all times, but he won’t be tossing them all up grapefruits on every pitch, like Zero the Hero, either.
I would consider staying at home or wasting a vote as treason to the US. And no, I’m not over-dramatizing it.
If Perry wins the nomination, it will be more of the same, but I will not set fire to my home to make a point. There are a shitload of House and Congressional votes to turn these aholes out and that’s where it should begin. Some of them didn’t get the memo in ‘10, but they will if there’s a continued flushing of the Grand Old Potty.
Agreed, both with your post and the sentiments of others. I will not support Romney. Romney will take the Republic in the same direction as Obama, just a few steps slower. The Republicans need to understand that a lot of folks are fed up with choosing the lesser of two evils.
My slogan this year is, “Run a RINO? Stay home.”
If Romney wants to be the nominee he will have to commit to repealing ObamaCare. He will have a very tough time convincing anyone that he means it. Still, I don’t see him winning enough delegates to secure the nomination.
