Please take a moment to watch this video clip. It provides a great framework for understanding what is going on in the Republican Party today.

The recurring problem with the “Romney? NEVER!” crowd (which I was a part of) is that they don’t address the greater problem for which Romney is the only viable (however undesirable) solution to. They never say “Obama is better”, and “neither” isn’t a viable option ‘cuz we’re gonna end up with one of the two.

Let me try this analogy:
Would you consent to getting knocked out, having your ribcage broken open, your heart pulled from your chest, and arteries severed by strangers? He11 no! You’d be _crazy_ to consent to such a thing.
Except I did. The alternative to that was congestive heart failure.

The “Romney? NEVER!” crowd, while they have piles of valid points I wholly agree with, is not addressing the “congestive heart failure” our nation will suffer if we don’t choose him.

If Romney doesn’t get more votes than Obama, we get something worse than Romney. If you don’t vote for Romney, that’s one less vote adding up to beating the less desirable incumbent. Yeah, you’re not voting for either, we get that ... but we’re gonna get the O if you don’t.

Too late.

Conservatives are the RINOs now. The party as a whole doesn’t want our values, our thoughts.

All they want is our money and our votes, and for us to shut the hell up and fall in line.

And like a co-dependent, abused wife, who is told; “You got no place else to go, and you are too dumb to make it on your own.” most of us will do just that.

(not I)

This election was lost to conservatives not when Romney won, but when no viable conservative showed up at the beginning of the primaries.

You can't win with nobody....

A good friend once described the condition of this country as:

The toilet has been flushed, the water is circling. Who you vote for will either speed the circling or slow the circling.

The water in the bowl will still swirl; the toilet still completes its flush.

That's just one theory, anyway.

I’m sorry, but these folks have it backward. The Tea Party is the challenger.

The GOP is the party of the Rombots. With few hiccups it has ALWAYS been a party of Rombot-like creatures. There were a few wonderful exceptions, like Goldwater and Reagan, but aside from that, if you look carefully, most of the Presidential Republican candidates were an awful lot like Romney.

ABO! And that means someone who has a shot at winning.

Four more years of Il Douche, and you’ll have breeding pairs of Libertarians in most zoos.

Other than not voting (stupid) or voting for the current traitor (beyond insane in this universe) the only choice IMO is to hold your nose and vote for this crap sandwich the GOP is serving us but at the same time work for and vote for as many Tea Party candidates as we can.

IMO that is the only hope to pull, push, nudge, prod Mitt to the right.

With congress’s low approval a mini Tea Party coup is possible and whom ever occupies the White Hut will have to deal with a congress that does not hate the USA like Odumbo.

The lead analogy is flawed. As many keep trying to point out, there is a third person/entity (and I don't mean the other Agent Smith clones) involved.

In the lead analogy, correctly interpreted, Agent Smith is the Obama: out to undermine & wreck the system completely. Much as Zion (the Tea Party) despises the Machines (RINOs) and vice versa, a truce must be called between them for time to fight off a common enemy; the symbiosis between the Resistance and the Machines may be painful, but complete takeover by Agent Smith is far worse. Understandably, some in Zion can't get past the physical reality of the Machines to address the greater existential threat of Smith ... nonetheless, the truce must be arranged lest none survive.

I’m pretty sure it’s “faze,” not “phase.”

Ping.

Very interesting post and hand to hand combat comments. LOL! Probably Paul supporters making hay, but I’m for anything trying to still buck the tide before the convention, rather than throwing in the towel and rolling over for the GOP.

The resistance is getting no coverage in the media, that’s for sure.

Maybe if you used a larger typeface for your headline more people would get the message.

We fought the good fight....we lost...and there is nobody coming on a white horse to save us.

We’ll just have to settle for watching the liberals weep tears of unfathomable sadness when the Kenyan loses.

I think it will most likely be useful idiot wanabe important people. It will be the old man or old lady trying to be important via affiliation. It will be the local political candidate potential person.

They will not be thinkers. They will be tantamount to senile with misguided harmlessness.

FR has been invaded by zombie Obama drones who do whatever they can to bash the presumptive Republican nominee.
It is Orwellian propaganda, at its best.

I finally got back to my computer this evening, looked over all the comments, and I enjoyed watching all of you act out a very realistic replay of the above video.

The many who played the "Agent Smith" part, i.e. the RomneyZombies, were true to form. You got slammed and blasted by the Neos many times with solid gold principle and you didn't feel a thing, nope, you didn't feel a thing, except for rage perhaps, you just kept on sluggin away. To kill the truth, to snuff it out, your only passion.

The few who played the Neo parts, they kept their head held high, but they left the arena battered, because they have feelings, but they left more certain than ever that their Party is being overun by a swarm of nasties, the romneyzombies, who sole enjoyment in life is to trample the Will of God into mush and rubble under their frankenstein-like work boots.

And because the Neos left more certain of the righteous of their cause, they left the more FREE to BE who they really are in God. More determined to be Faithful to His Cause. After all, that is what it means to be a Child of God.

And so, let us heave to, to raise a barrier of Light to this stinking river of mindless mind-numbing sewage, barfed out into the wide and once shining boulevards of this Free Republic by this marauding mass of RomneyZombies.

Can we at least get obama the hell out and then deal with Romney? Romney is not going to pull the same crap as obama with everyone holding his feet to the fire. Get real.
