“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.
I wasn’t talking about Perry in particular, and I haven’t done enough research to decide on him. I will vote on election day. If I’m alive, I’ll be there in person; if I die before then, I can count on my local Dem activists to vote for me although not as I would vote. My intention is to vote in every race for the most conservative candidate - except that if the GOP nominee for the White House will put a stamp of approval on Obama’s actions then I’d rather have the real Obama for another four disastrous years. At least with a second Obama term, there’s a better chance of eventually repealing his destructive legislation (the massive debt will cripple the next generation or so, but at least it’ll only be one or two generations that will suffer, and it might not be permanent).
