I Will NOT Vote for Marco Rubio If He Is Selected as VP

I will not vote for Marco Rubio as Vice President if Mitt Romney selects him to run on his ticket.  He is NOT constitutionally eligible to be President or Vice President, and I would be a damn hypocrite in holding my ire and giving him my vote after working as hard as possible to educate people on Barack Obama’s ineligibility.

Call me a Birther, call me a Tea Party hick, call me an “extremist” or racist, I could give a flying forgery.  I just don’t care anymore.  I’m not going to be like one of those liberals who complain about the rich not paying more taxes and not voluntarily putting their money where there mouth is.  And conservatives have constantly compromised on principle to the point where most Americans don’t think there is much difference in the spending habits of either party. 

If you consider yourself a conservative – let me advise you that you can’t buy back your integrity when it’s convenient.

It is just a very vocal minority. Most Freepers don’t want to engage these people.

A minority of at least 126 FReepers, INCLUDING the owner of of Free Republic.

[Finny]

On the contrary, his is muddle-headed, fearful thinking.

Here is the clear, rational, patriotic TRUTH: You voting for Romney is you voting to make the Republican party turn hard left.

Deal with it.

[Finny]

To not vote for him is akin to voting for Obama.

False. Here's a hard truth: Regardless of your intention, your vote for Romney will be registered and counted as a vote for making the Republican party as liberal as the Democrat party.

4 more years of Obama will destroy America. Pure hysteria. Your fear of scarecrow Obama has you on the verge of voting FOR everything you stand against.

[Finny]

"the perfect is the enemy of the good."

As most ABOers admit, the only thing "good" about Romney is that he's not Obama. They have squeezed their eyes shut to what is BAD about Romney. And they are about to vote for making the Republican party just like Romney. They think they'll be voting "against" Obama, but there is no such thing as voting "against" a candidate. Sorry, but that's the reality. Your vote for Romney will be a vote FOR making the Republican party turn hard left.

Your "the perfect is the enemy of the good" rationale is complete smoke.

[Finny]

Unkus, on the other hand, would apparently vote for Romney even if Hillary switched parties and he picked her as his running mate. After all, Romney is registered as a Republican, and neither Romney nor Hillary are Obama. :^)

Nevermind the consequences -- ABO! Right off the cliff.

Hey bird-brain!
You keep on being the "Establishment Republican"'s pawn, and the GOP won't be any different than the DemocratsCommunists!

From Limbaugh Lexicon Terms Defined: Rio Linda, New Castrati and the GOP Establishment

RUSH: Edison, New Jersey. Hi, Phil, you're next. You're on the air.
It's your big show biz break here.

CALLER: Hi. Thank you for taking my call. My wife and I are avid fans and listeners.
We're confused about something.

RUSH: Yeah?

CALLER: You quite frequently use the term "Republican establishment" and we think we've kind of figured out what that is
and the fact that they represent pretty much the moderate wing of the party,
that for some reason or other seems to be doing harm to the conservative wing.
But we think we might be able to understand this better if you can identify for us who represents it.
Who are the individuals in the party?

RUSH: Ah, this is a nice trick. I knew this was coming.
Phil, you're a smart guy. You're a crafty guy.
Phil knows the answer. Let me just tell you, folks:
Phil knows exactly who the Republican establishment is.
He wants me to name names
'cause he wants them called out.
Am I not right?

CALLER: Well, yes, because I think when you can identify specifically, it helps.
For instance, let's say Reverend Wright.
It heped me to understand, and my wife to understand, the dangers of Obama
because we were able to specifically hear the message of Reverend Wright.

RUSH: Okay I'll give you a name. I'll give you a Republican name.

CALLER: We're thinking McCain and others like that,
but I think it's important enough to know:
Who is this establishment?
Who are these people?

RUSH: Well, wait a second. I understand what you're saying.
I think it's the really important to define it correctly, too.
A Republican establishment member in the media would be David Brooks in the New York Times, the so-called conservative columnist.
He's basically a moderate.
He favors big government if run by the people he thinks are smart.
He's not crazy about conservatives.
The Republican establishment cringe at the very discussion of social issues.
They are in favor of big government for the most part.
They think campaigns on smaller government are losers
and they worry that, if they succeed, there's going to be less of an opportunity for them to have jobs in government.
They're basically people who don't think we have a spending problem and that that's great.
If they get in charge, they'll do some things to reduce it
but they really don't believe government is the big problem like conservatives do.

They're establishment.

They're government-establishment types.

They're DC establishment.

That's the center of the universe.

Republicans, you mean "Establishment Republicans", are happier not being responsible ...

It ain't over ... till it's over.
We don't have to chose, until our time comes to chose.
I'm going to do the best I can with the time I have, to expose Willard for the RINO he is.
But I will not support a RINO, no matter what!
The "Establishment Republicans" are a worse enemy than the Communists, because they tear us down from the inside.


We have to vote for who we want to vote for, and ignore the LAME Stream Media's constant drumming for LOSER MITT.
They want MITT because he's the easiest to defeat.
Look what Rush said (5th paragraph from the end) about what the "Establishment Republicans" think Mitt's chances are.

" But let me just close this out by saying
the Democrats have insisted for 75 years that Social Security is an insurance program
that you are contributing a percentage of your paycheck into your own account,
which is part of a trust fund, to pay for your retirement benefit.
It is not, they insist, it is not welfare,
it is not an entitlement program.
It is insurance.
They've told us this for 75 years.
Like an annuity program.

Meanwhile, every argument they are making now strips bare the big lie that they've been telling for 75 years.
If this payroll tax cut is a tax cut, then Social Security is not an insurance program.
And yet we're gonna run around and let them have it both ways
because we're afraid of the optics
or we're afraid because Obama's African-American?
Is it a welfare or entitlement program
and the money people are having withheld from their paychecks
is not an insurance contribution, then it's a tax. Pure and simple.
But they've sold this as an insurance program
and all of a sudden now we're cutting taxes on this program?
It's a welfare or entitlement program.
The money people are having withheld from their paychecks is not an insurance contribution, [it's] a tax, that's what they're telling us now?
Okay, then you are being taxed to pay for somebody else's retirement.
Now, the fact that the Republican establishment cannot make that case and other arguments
tells me that they may have already surrendered,
and this is a big difference between us and the establishment.
They're in this defensive posture, I've told you,
I said on Greta how many times,

a lot of people inside the Republican establishment secretly don't even believe Obama can be beaten.
And that's why they want Romney,
'cause they think at least Romney will help 'em take the Senate.
He'll lose less down the ballot than Gingrich or some conservative will.
But conservatives, you Tea Party activists, you don't want to give up
and you haven't given up,
and you don't want to accept this propaganda from the left.
We insist on challenging it, we insist on fighting it
'cause there's no other way to save the country,
and continually playing these games
letting the Democrats rewrite the language, change the definition of things,
get away with false accusations against us, never do anything about it,
constantly stay on defense. "

Newt Supporters Aren't Swayed, January 26, 2012

The GOP Establishment in Abject Panic: They Don't Understand Their Own Base

Newt is a Vessel: He Won South Carolina Because He Articulated Conservatism

Newsmax/InsiderAdvantage Poll: Gingrich Man to Beat, Tuesday, 29 Nov 2011 04:20 PM

However, we must stand up and loudly say

"WE SUPPORT NEWT, OR SANTORUM!
HE CAN BEAT OBAMA SO BADLY ... , IT'LL BE THE SHOW OF THE CENTURY"

It'll be a fight against the "Establishment Republicans" to the very end, and it may even go into a Brokered Convention.

Like Ronald Reagan said:

" We must go forth from here united,
determined that what a great general said a few years ago is true:
" There is no substitute for victory, Mr. President. " "

How many times has the "Republican Establishment" treated us to one lecture after the other on the need for “compromise” and “patience.”?
After we elect and RE-elect the "Republican Establishment", they conduct themselves with none of the confidence and enthusiasm with which they expressed themselves on the campaign trail.
It may be worth it for the GOP to lose some elections - if it means that conservatives—and the country—will ultimately win.

If we didn’t know it before, WE ... the Tea Partiers, now knows that accepting short-term loss in exchange for long-term gain is the essence of compromise, the essence of politics.

Ironically, we can thank the "Republican Establishment" for impressing this so indelibly upon us!!! I'm fresh out of "patience", and I'm not in the mood for "compromise".
"COMPROMISE" to me is a dirty word.
Let the RINO's compromise their values, with the conservatives, for a change.


Now the "Republican Establishment's" hatred for conservatives is well known.
Jon Bershad wrote about Rush's analysis of their PANIC.

My dislike for the Democratic Party is second to none.
But my ... LOATHING ... for the "Establishment Republicans" ... is even stronger!
The "Establishment Republicans" can go to hell!

[Finny]

Of folks who refuse to vote for Romney: ... it’s like trying to reason with a liberal.

LOLOLOL! {^) Yer killin' me! Hahahahahahaha!!!!

Desperate ABOers are here bullying, scaring, shouting, deriding, ridiculing, and even using deceit ("Not voting for Romney is the same as voting for Obama!" -- it might work on a five-year-old, but please spare those of us who can actually think) into getting folks like Jim Robinson and me to vote for a candidate who has advanced every major liberal agenda we've been voting Republican all these years to oppose.

" ... trying to reason with a liberal...." {^)) *wiping tears of laughter from eyes* LOLOL!!

That's rich!!!

[Finny]

Anyone not terrified of another 0bama term is not rational.

Exuse me, but anyone so terrified of Obama that they would vote against their own best interests on FIVE MAJOR LIBERAL AGENDAS and risk turning the Republican party nearly as hard-left as Obama, is not rational.

[EEGator]

I think there are over 253 FReepers. Thanks for all caps. I have reading comprehension problems.

You both are invited to my party to celebrate defeat of the radical socialist from Chicago, Barack Hussein Obama. I will throw in some good Scotch such as JW Black Label, Tanqueray Gin, Copper river Salmon, and some grilled Rib-eye’s.

And you guys all toast each other for having been so cowed and frightened by Obama that you voted FOR making the Republican party as liberal as the Democrat party.

The joke will be on you -- you got frightened and tricked into voting FOR Romney while happily pretending you were voting "against" Obama. Toast each other, guys, as you watch Romney advance global warming, nationalized health care, gay "rights," and activist judges with the support of moderate Republicans, the GOP-e, and Democrats, while conservative Republicans, relegated to an impotent minority, watch helplessly.

Cheers for your emotional, ill-thought, manipulated ABO vote to turn the Republican party hard left.

That’s one of the funniest contextual meme pics I’ve seen in a long time!

That's the late Jim Horne, 1917-2008. From his Wikipedia article:

A 1953 photograph of Horne smiting his brow became an Internet meme when linking to the photograph became a popular expression for facepalming to indicate disgust or exasperation.

[cynwoody]

I’ll make this simple. If you were born here in the U.S. you are a citizen and can run for any office no matter what anyone else thinks.

Anyone who thinks you cannot will be laughed at by the population.

Exactly right. And laughed at not just by the population in general, but by a very select subset thereof. Here we see one member of that subset swearing in a guy whose father was a foreign student (as far as we know), for the second time that day, just to make sure he got the wording right:

Chief Justice John Roberts, just making sure

Stare decisis et non quieta movere.

[Finny]

We can mark you down as a solid vote for obomo.

And we can mark you down as a solid vote for turning the Republican party hard left.

[Finny]

It is the least I can do to keep you from crying and carrying on like a little girl after Zer0 gets reelected.

And if Romney wins in a landslide and succeeds in advancing global warming, gay "rights," nationaized health care, and activist judges, and succeeds because moderate Republicans, the GOP-e, and Democrats will outnumber conservatives in Congress, and who will all be able to point to Romney's win as a "popular mandate for his style of progressive governing," who is going to be "carrying on like a little girl" then?

"But we meant to vote against Obama!!! We didn't vote for this!!"

Yes, you DID. Whether you meant to or not.

[Finny]

It's unpatriotic to do more harm, when you know harm will be done to the republic. Refusing to vote against Obama puts you in that category.... Deal with it.

Why don't you deal with the fact that it is materally impossible to vote "against" either Obama or Romney, and that when you vote for Romney, you will be voting FOR turning the Republican party hard left?

[jonrick46]

Being a Newt supporter, I was not happy when Mitt racked up the delegates like he did. My own support of Newt cost me a delegate spot at our state convention. I am hoping I will cry less like a girl if Mitt wins the Presidency.

[EnquiringMind]

Vote for Obama and shut up. Stop trying to get other freepers to vote for him too. ---- Jean S

Jean S: I agree with the first part of your quote, but disagree that this guy will keep any one of us home who want Obama gone. FAT CHANCE!!

Spoken by a FReeper who is here trying to get FReepers vote for turning the Republican party hard left. ---Finny

Finny: Spoken by a Freeper who wants Obama to go away. ABO. Period.
