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 dont like Barack Obama is because hes black. Theres no truth it. There are a number of black people I would love to see sitting in the White House, not because theyre black, but because their worldview is right.
In fact, its the white half of Obama that I dont like. How could his mother, who is white, associate with so many self-avowed Marxists? Didnt she know how socialist, Marxist, and fascist policies have destroyed nations? Didnt she realize that it was socialism and Marxism that has kept much of Africa in poverty? Lets 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 dont 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 dont get behind Romney, its almost assured that we will lose congressional seats.
Some will say that Romneys just like Obama. Thats nonsense. Is Romney as conservative as I would like to see in a candidate? No. But hes 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 dont know. Thats why we need a strong Congress to put a brake on any broken-promise policies.
There are lots of people who believe Ron Pauls going to get the nomination at the convention. Its 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 didnt win. Get over it for this election.
Romneys been going on the attack. His comments on Obamas You didnt build that speech was fiery and passionate. This conversation with Brian Williams encouraged me that Romneys not afraid to take on the media and doesnt 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 hes looking for an incredibly boring white guy to be his vice-president. Here was Romneys 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 theyre dealing with someone whos not afraid to fight back without being nasty. Lets be clear: The media are a fifth column. Theyre going to do everything they can to get Obama re-elected. They cant admit that they made a huge mistake in 2008.
The majority of Americans arent as conservative as most readers of this website. Were still dealing with an electorate thats on the government dole. They need Obama to win. Theres not much thats 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 dont believe in messianic politics. I dont believe any candidate is going to save us. Many of the problems our nation faces were created by us. Were government drunkards. Too many of us like government programs that benefit us while we rail against programs that dont. If you send your children to government (public) schools, youre on the dole. You might not like hearing that, but its true. Youre not paying what it really costs. Youre using some of your neighbors money.
If we play this election right, Romney will give us a chance to right the ship of State. Liberals arent afraid of making small gains. We didnt lose this nation in one election; were not going to get it back in one election.
"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?
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." ;)
Excuse me for butting in, but what a bizarre question.
What kind of rhetoric will make you go against your principles?
I wrote:
“Romney is not and never has been a conservative so nothing he does negatively will change who we know him to be.”
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."
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.
What kind of rhetoric will make you go against your principles?
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!
So answer my question. Do you think you are changing any minds with your sophomoric questions?
/johnny
Why should the conservatives have to come up with a plan to clean up their mess?
Cut. Print. Perfect.
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.
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.
/johnny
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.
