Why I’m Voting for Mitt Romney and Why You Should Too
godfatherpolitics.com ^ | 7/27/2012 | Gary DeMar

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.

No need to get emo.

"I'm sorry, but I've answered this question so many dozens upon dozens of times."

Sorry, I was unaware you had.

Can you then link to just one of the dozens and dozens of times in which you showed support for a candidate for president in the 2012 election?
Just one.
Thank you.

"shouldn't -- need my "suggestion,"

Why do you then make sure to oppose the decisions of those that support Mitt?

Do you ever feel like you are in the Twilight Zone, having to defend yourself on a conservative forum for not voting for a liberal?

As stated earlier, in this very thread: "[T]hat's what inevitably causes me to snort in derision at the shriller, more hysterical CINO apologists within the (purportedly) 'ABO' camp. As I've repeatedly informed them: I AM voting for someone other than Obama (i.e., "Anyone But Obama.").

"That only seems to make them more sulky, rather than less." ;)

Do you really think you are going to get me to go against my principles with that kind of rhetoric?

Excuse me for butting in, but what a bizarre question.

What kind of rhetoric will make you go against your principles?

I meant to say:

Romney is not and never has been a conservative so nothing he does negatively will be the fault of conservatives.

I just told you where my vote is going, in #268. Thank you for proving my point so readily.

Joining the crowd: "PLONK."

then nominating a conservative -- just this once, mind you -- was the surest way to nab it.

The convention is a month from now. How do you expect to make that happen?

If your plan does not lead to the ouster of Obama, it is not useful.

“sophomoric questions”

You are very emotional.

It's a bizarre kind of time. We have them every 4 years, 'round these parts.

The short answer to my rhetorical question is: Nothing anyone here says will make me go against my principles.

That jpeg was fair warning, created (and first posted) last year. As usual, the CINOs currently infesting the Republican party elected to go their own way; now, so will I. Cope. Deal.

If your plan does not lead to the ouster of Obama, it is not useful.

Listen harder, this time: "If my vote's genuinely that crucial to you and yours, then nominating a conservative -- just this once, mind you -- was the surest way to nab it."

You cannot tell us who a principled true conservative™ is to consider.

You cannot tell us which true conservative you supported in the primary.

You believe It would be wrong to share such.

But it’s OK to share that any who support Mitt are wrong.

The go-along-to-get-along, country-club, establishment GOP made this mess. They need to come up with a plan, now that it's obvious that they have lost a lot of the conservative base.

Why should the conservatives have to come up with a plan to clean up their mess?

I can suggest that you stick a sock in Karl Rove's mouth, so he doesn't attack conservatives on national television.

Takes more than a jpeg to oust a commie fascist.

If you choose to fade into third-party irrelevance, then it's on you if the Won wins a second term!

Actually, that's more objective than emotional, but being human, yes, I do have emotions.

So answer my question. Do you think you are changing any minds with your sophomoric questions?

Then you really, REALLY needed to put that little bit of extra effort into securing my vote, didn't you?

Next time, you'll doubtless know better.

I reject the emotional premise of your question.

Here’s the only principle you have shared on this thread:

Troll:

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

I told you that I voted for Gingrich in the primary.

As I noted before, you aren't interested in answers.

Those that support Mitt are doing what their principles tell them to do, which is vote for a liberal. I don't begrudge that, or call you wrong for doing it.

If you think I'm a troll, mash that "report abuse" button and get me zotted.

I thought you were here to discuss politics.

How about explaining how voting for someone that supported tax-payer funded abortions in his home state is a conservative political position.
