Our Odds of Beating Obama Are Better By Dumping Mitt in a Brokered Convention

Oh, I’m sure he’ll probably get most of their votes, owing to their stances. But I have yet to witness a single shred of enthusiasm FOR him. It’s almost surreal.

So does that mean you’ll vote for more of the same? You sound confused about the choices. There are only Two, it’s not that difficult really

[Figment]

So, you’re going to vote for Obama

[Figment]

Problem is the nation needs an underdog, a hero, a come up from behind with hopeless odds of winning type of a candidate

You and the scarecrow have the same need

[Figment]

Go back to wherever you crawled out of in April.

[Figment]

If you don’t want any moral victories, then you shouldn’t be surprised to always remain a slave.

Spoken like a true twit.

It has nothing to do with his being a mormon.The fact he is a flaming liberal which you fail to mention says all we want to know about you pal.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Hear hear!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of really great Freepers were kicked off the site simply because they supported a Mormon candidate. I was one of them.
***Then that makes you a retread troll, pushing a lying, baby-killing librul statist.

I’m constantly amazed at how many freepers there are that do not realize this is a conservative website, not a republican one.

Reagan and Nixon did not come out of ‘brokered’ conventions. That is pure dreaming on someones part

[MacMattico]

I can't think of any better campaign material to give Obama then replacing a republican candidate that people went out and voted for and won the primary like it or not.

Just think of the commercials. I didn't vote for Romney, but I will, and would be ashamed of a party that took away a legitimate nominee selected by the people, like it or not.

And just exactly which candidate do you want to replace Romney?

[Linda Frances]

So, you’re going to vote for Obama

---

No, you are and you don't even know it. Romney is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage & gay adoption....... and you don't care. You are giving your vote to this man. Maybe he'll help you get a few more bucks in your pocket, but there is a price to pay when you give up what is right for money. Romney's actions in MA were as socialistic as obama’s; but we want to overlook the ugliness we see in our own ranks. Romney is starting out worse than obama. Obama said he was against gay marriage and romney signed it into law in his state. He forced the Catholic Church adoption services out of Ma because they would not allow gays to adopt. They had helped children find homes for 109 years, and romney had a problem with that. We did not see Obama take such evil actions when he was in the senate. He voted the wrong way, but he did not do things like FORCE schools to teach children, starting in Kindergarten, about homosexuals and all that went with it. Romney did. If romney could do these things before he is president, and blame others (lied) what will he do when he has real power.

Oh, simple math tells you that not voting for Romney does not increase Obama’s vote by one. No I am not voting for either obama or romney.

People in this country are running around trying to find a king or savior to get them out of the mess we are in. They are trusting mere “men” and evil men at that, thinking they will save us. We are in so deep that it will take an act of God and turning to him help us. You are not trusting God when you make an alliance with evil.

“Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord, “who take counsel, but not of Me,
And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit.... and have not asked My advice....
Psalm 30:1-2

1980 was not a brokered convention. Reagan was the leader in the primaries and won the nomination on the first ballot at the convention. All the others were prior to the modern primary system and are not comparable in any way to what you propose.

You’re free to argue that the Republican Party ought to try to replace Mitt, but try to stay tethered to reality.

There is no historical precedent for using the convention to subvert the will of primary voters. And without any historical precedent, it’s difficult to imagine the idea as anything other than politically suicidal.

[JSteff]

Just look at FR and think about how many conservatives are not voting for Romney; and we are political junkies.

So it is a repeat of last election?
If all those who caste mccain "no" or "protest" votes of one type or another had voted there would be NO OBAMA right now!
Many on our side can be so limited minded and short sighted... and the liberals are counting on it.
And the country as a whole will suffer for it--- AGAIN?
Just win ONE against Obama and the left and then hold the purity fight over the dems, unions, and criminals corpses when they have lost.
Sadly, our side played this very poorly again.

Can anyone think of what we should do NOW that we choaked again in a critical nomination process?
Does anyone think we will get another chance if we get obama as president for another term ...or two... or for (yikes) life?

Any bright ideas out there?
Step up now and present it before it is too late.

here’s another spoiled child that won’t be voting for that POS either.

Meanwhile, back in the zone of reality..

Romney has more than enough delegates to secure the nomination. He`s the guy going forward, and either he or Obama will win on the night of 6 Nov or the next morning.

I don`t much like Romney, either, and the odds are heavily against him pulling off the upset (Intrade has his odds dropping back into the 30s). But, he`s the candidate the Republicans wanted, and..much as we`d like things to be different... they aren`t.

[D-fendr]

Couldn’t agree on notRomney candidate in the primaries and nothing has changed.

Brokered conventions these days are perhaps possible when you have two very close candidates without a majority.

I don’t think you could get 50% + 1 for one alternative candidate even here on FR.

Plus they’d have to start a national general election campaign from zero.

Suicide.

[D-fendr]

My excitement at giving Obama and the Chicago thugs the boot is off the charts!!

Hurry November and Chick-Fil-A Barrack!

[ScottinVA]

Yeah.. I`m sure that`s what Gov. Walker strives for.. having his life and family turned upside down with yet another election campaign.

Where’s your proof that he cares more about his money than you care about your money or Barack and Michelle care about their money or anybody that has money cares about his/her money?

FYI, most people I know that have money, including myself, care a lot about their money.
