The first reason is easy: Barack Obama. It is shocking to think that a Marxist could ever be president of the United States. But it happened. People always ask, “How could those people have sat back while ________________ came to power. That could never happen here.” Well, it did happen here. As a nation, we sat back and let Barack Obama win in 2008, and look at what we got. Granted, John McCain was not much of an alternative.
Some people might argue that the reason I don’t like Barack Obama is because he’s black. There’s no truth it. There are a number of black people I would love to see sitting in the White House, not because the’yre black, but because their worldview is right.
In fact, it’s the white half of Obama that I don’t like. How could his mother, who is white, associate with so many self-avowed Marxists? Didn’t she know how socialist, Marxist, and fascist policies have destroyed nations? Didn’t she realize that it was socialism and Marxism that has kept much of Africa in poverty? Let’s not forget Cuba, North Korea, East Germany and East Berlin, and the former Soviet Union. The facts are there for anyone to see.
Surely she had some idea of how the supposed Great Society programs that became law under Lyndon Johnson have wrecked the black family, turned the poor into a dependent voting-block that is beholden to a single political party with the result that the Democrat Party takes blacks for granted and the Republican Party ignores blacks because it has almost no chance of getting their vote.
Blacks have been duped by blacks. You don’t have to be in chains to be a slave, and there are more blacks in slavery today than there were in the 1850s.
If Romney wins, there will be a coattail effect, but not if disgruntled conservatives and Paulians stay home. This means that we can beef-up the conservative votes in the House and Senate. If we don’t get behind Romney, it’s almost assured that we will lose congressional seats.
Some will say that Romney’s just like Obama. That’s nonsense. Is Romney as conservative as I would like to see in a candidate? No. But he’s more conservative now than when he was governor of Massachusetts. The primary forced him to the right. Will he remain as conservative as his recent rhetoric seems to indicate? I don’t know. That’s why we need a strong Congress to put a brake on any broken-promise policies.
There are lots of people who believe Ron Paul’s going to get the nomination at the convention. It’s not going to happen. If it were to happen, he would lose bigger in November than Barry Goldwater lost to Johnson in 1964. Paul gave it a good shot. Did he get revolution started? That remains to be seen. But he didn’t win. Get over it for this election.
Romney’s been going on the attack. His comments on Obama’s “You didn’t build that” speech was fiery and passionate. This conversation with Brian Williams encouraged me that Romney’s not afraid to take on the media and doesn’t need a teleprompter. An exchange that Romney had with Brian Williams of NBC News was priceless. Williams, apparently reading from a script, asked Romney if it was true that he’s looking for an “incredibly boring white guy” to be his vice-president. Here was Romney’s reply: “You told me you were not available.” All Williams could say was, “Touche.”
These two encounters might not mean much, but they can be tipping points in an election. They give confidence to Romney, and they put the media on notice that they’re dealing with someone who’s not afraid to fight back without being nasty. Let’s be clear: The media are a fifth column. They’re going to do everything they can to get Obama re-elected. They can’t admit that they made a huge mistake in 2008.
The majority of Americans aren’t as conservative as most readers of this website. We’re still dealing with an electorate that’s on the government dole. They need Obama to win. There’s not much that’s going to change that except a national collapse. There are a lot of people who think that would be a great idea. It would be horrific. No one will come to our aid.
I don’t believe in messianic politics. I don’t believe any candidate is going to save us. Many of the problems our nation faces were created by us. We’re government drunkards. Too many of us like government programs that benefit us while we rail against programs that don’t. If you send your children to government (public) schools, you’re on the dole. You might not like hearing that, but it’s true. You’re not paying what it really costs. You’re using some of your neighbor’s money.
If we play this election right, Romney will give us a chance to right the ship of State. Liberals aren’t afraid of making small gains. We didn’t lose this nation in one election; we’re not going to get it back in one election.
Thanks for posting that, Tennessee Nana.
“Civil rights”......LOL
Okay so now we are left with two sodomites to choose from.
Do you prefer the marxist sodomite or the free market sodomite?
Neither.

Oh dear...
It seems that your fellow RomneyBot, MissouriConservative went Bye Bye on another thread..
The boss himself ZOTTED him...
(I find no reason or sanity in exhausting our energies kicking each other in the groins over disagreements of how to get to the same end goal).
...I am not attacking your or insulting you

Romney is not my idea of a conservative. I might hold my nose and vote for him anyway when it comes time to pull the lever, but publicly proclaiming it in advance just encourages the GOP to keep giving us RINOs.
No sale. I've also heard the same every election since Reagan.
The GOP has become part of the problem, and is not part of the solution.
The GOP needs to go the way of the Whigs.

Right J.
And I for one am tired of the “next time” or “after that” argument.
Easiest for many now is to stay off of Free Republic ‘till either Obama wins or Mitt finishes his terms , should he win.
Their game? One way or another, knock out the Conservative[s], nominate a Liberal and then start with, "It is our guy or the Democrat" chant.
No, but you have the ability to influence the selection in one way or the other. Or like you say vote "present" and let somebody else make the decision for you.
Maybe it's best for people that cannot tell the difference to abstain from voting.
I have consistently through this thread read your responses in which you accuse me of bashing, attacking, etc..., yet I am at a loss to go back and find anything of the sort in my responses. You further took my words, "I cannot stop you from voting", and turned them into me forcing you against your will.
I find it disheartening that because we disagree it has to be taken as a personal attack against you for each line that I type. I can honestly say I have never been in a thread with a FReeper such as yourself who took it in such a way.
With all due respect, after I hit send on this post I promise you that I wish, and shall, return to that status again...at least for a while anyway.
I mean to grow the Tea Party...
Why would I want to influence the selection between one pro-abortion, anti-gun, socialized medicine, big-government liberal and another?
That's your gig.

Romney responded. “I believe my record as a person who has supported civil rights is strong and powerful.

In 2000 John McCain had a fit about the bills for pork that were piling up...
From the Congressional Record:
Senator McCain on the GAO Report
On Sept. 19, 2000, Sen. McCain, speaking in opposition to the Conference Report on the 2001 Legislative Branch Appropriations bill advised the Senate of details from the GAO’s report. As recorded in the Congressional Record, Sen. McCain stated,
“The GAO now determines that $1.3 billion—and some of those I will read: $974,000 for the Utah State Olympic Public Safety Command; $5 million for the Utah Communications Agency Network; $3 million to Olympic Regional Development Authority, upgrades at Mt. Van Hoevenberg Sports Complex; $2.5 million, Salt Lake City Olympics bus facilities; $2.5 million, Salt Lake City Olympics regional park-and-ride lots; $500,000, Salt Lake City Olympics transit bus loan, and on and on; $925,000 to allow the Utah State Olympic Public Safety Command to continue to develop and support a public safety program for the 2002 Winter Olympics; $1 million for the 2002 Winter Olympics security training; $2.2 million for the Charleston Water Conservancy District, UT, to meet sewer infrastructure needs associated with the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. What the Olympic games supposedly hosted and funded by Salt Lake City, which began in corruption and bribery, has now turned into is an incredible pork-barrel project for Salt Lake City and its environs.” — Sen. John McCain in the United States Senate, Sept. 19, 2000 - [Page S8731-S8748 - Congressional Record.]
“I gotta ask...WTH is with the backslash Johnny thing?” That’s easy /johnny is algebra for divided by johnny. He is the leader of a pack of 7 or 8 here who jump on these threads with the goal of dividing our side so Obama can run through the gap and back to the White House. They like to generate heated responses to give themselves the much needed attention they require. Conservative who remember 1992 are afraid that these folks, who have us losing as their ultimate goal, will repeat Perot’s feat of the dividing the conservative vote (56%) 2 ways, Bush 38%, Perot 19%. There by letting Clinton waltz in with just 43% of the vote. Not to worry though. The Rasmussen daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Mitt Romney attracting 49% of the vote, while President Obama earns support from just 44%. Interesting, four years ago today, the Rasmussen tracker had Obama leading McCain by the exact same margin, 49-44. We really don’t need these people (he said yesterday that he might vote for Romney if enough of us beg him. Somebody told him to fold up his ballot and stick up his...something) This will be a landslide victory for conservatives and we will take the Senate and increase in the House. By the end of the first term we will replace two liberals on the Supreme Court with young conservatives hand picked by Judge Bork. Investors and Business owners will start making moves starting Wednesday Nov. 7th and our Country will begin the strongest recovery in history. It will be a great time to be a conservative Republican American. You can book mark it.
Who do you guys suggest we vote for as president in 2012?
Can you link to a few threads showing us the candidate we should consider?
Thank you.
