Why I’m Voting for Mitt Romney and Why You Should Too

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.

If you believe Romney is pro-life, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

The man will say anything to be president. And just like his advisor said, he’ll etch-a-sketch it away when it’s convenient.

[Kevmo]

I am not a Republican; I am a conservative.
***And Free Republic is not a republican website; it is a conservative website.

[smoke n mirrors]

not if,... is over.

Vote BO once more, you’re really done.

[Tennessee Nana]

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

"2nd request on this thread :

Who do you guys suggest we vote for as president in 2012?"

I'm coming in late, but since I was pinged, I figure I owe you a response.

Your question has been posed many times to the owner of the site, but I never understood why. No one can tell another how to vote. You have to figure that out for yourself, right? You know the options we have. You can vote for Romney, or, if not, write in a name, or skip to downticket races, or not vote at all. What other options are there?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Options are for people responsible enough to make tough choices. For too many, this election is instead about an opportunity to broadcast self-sanctimony.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

And Free Republic is not a republican website; it is a conservative website.

It's the sheer, stony deafness to naked political reality on the part of the shrill scolds of Mittens' online Sister-Wife Squadron that gets to me, in this instance. ;) "Why, yes, we are doubling down on the insult of 2008, by demanding -- DEMANDING!!! -- that you all vote for a candidate roughly as 'conservative' as George McGovern, circa 1972! HOW DARE YOU MISERABLE WRETCHES ACTUALLY REFUSE US -- ?!?"

Jim states it with admirable succinctness, in virtually all of his postings: "We Are The Resistance." ;)

[Kevmo]

If, instead, you cast your vote in accordance with your (imperfectly understood) conservative principles, then you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
***Why do you come onto a conservative website and harass conservatives to separate them from their conservative beliefs? That is not conservative.

How many conservatives have changed their minds due to your bashing? Maybe 1, if you’re lucky. But for every one that you convince, more than a hundred are dismayed. You’ve caused far more damage to conservatism than your efforts warrant.

I believe that this is exactly what you want, to damage conservatism. Otherwise you’d be operating somewhere else, converting 0bots into mittbots. Instead, you’re here sowing discord among conservatives. All y’all CINOs deserve the zot.

[cynwoody]

Why do you come onto a conservative website and harass conservatives to separate them from their conservative beliefs? That is not conservative.

What's not conservative is to act in a way that makes it more likely Obama will win a second term in which to finish destroying the country. Sewing disunity towards accomplishing that goal is what I would expect from a commie sleeper agent.

[cynwoody]

(Vote for Goode, end up with evil, pat self on back repeatedly)

I like your tag line.

[cynwoody]

Not, therefore, "[my] guy."

He's Sarah Palin's guy. He's Rick Santorum's guy. He's Jim Demint's guy. He's Ron and Rand Paul's guy.

I'm sorry to hear he's not your guy. Not conservative enough? Maybe not enough for you, but he'd get my vote if I were voting in Texas's runoff election next Tuesday! Looks like he might make it.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Thanks!

[Kevmo]

What’s not conservative is to act in a way that makes it more likely Obama will win a second term in which to finish destroying the country.
***Then why aren’t you going somewhere else converting 0bots into mittbots?

Sewing disunity towards accomplishing that goal is what I would expect from a commie sleeper agent.
***And that is precisely what you are doing. You are a self-accused sleeper agent, due to the fact that you’re sowing discord among conservatives. I don’t understand why JimRob doesn’t zot all you POS CINO cowards.

[Kevmo]

HOW DARE YOU MISERABLE WRETCHES ACTUALLY REFUSE US — ?!?”
***See post above. Now we’re commie sleeper agents.

I really do not understand why JimRob doesn’t just zot these folks whose obvious aim is to damage conservatism. They don’t even deny it.

[cynwoody]

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.

Ah, so inspirational! But JQA was never up against anything as evil as Obama.

Before following that advice, consider Hegewisch's tag line.

Voting is a political act to influence a political outcome. Principle comes into play when choosing which political outcome to favor. That choice may well require a distasteful, nose-holding vote. That's the situation we find ourselves in. Unless something truly extraordinary happens in Tampa next month.

[Kevmo]

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?
***Yes. And it felt exactly the same in 2007 with the tootyfruityrudy brigade. Free Republic has been invaded by CINOs.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

He's Sarah Palin's guy. He's Rick Santorum's guy. He's Jim Demint's guy. He's Ron and Rand Paul's guy.

*Yaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnnnn* "In logic, an argumentum ad populum (Latin for 'appeal to the people') is a fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or most people believe it. In other words, the basic idea of the argument is: 'If many believe so, it is so.'"

Troll harder.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Then why aren’t you going somewhere else converting 0bots into mittbots?

Again: because attempting to garner votes on behalf of Bishop Mittens isn't even remotely what they're interested in, plainly. (They're hopping up and down and screeching at people who are voting for candidates other than Obama, after all.)

No... no. It's just the trolling they're here for, demonstrably. ;)

[COBOL2Java]

Why do you insist on making our guy fight with one hand tied behind his back?

Because your guy is a loser.
