Just a survey a member posted at my site..means nothing...he was just curious.
Clearly, YOU have not followed what Romney did in and out of office. Clearly, you have not objectively assessed the realities of what you voted FOR.
When you voted for Romney, you voted FOR empowering and endorsing leftist Republican tyranny on the same model as Democrat tyranny; only the names differ -- with Obama it was Holder, with Romney the name would have been different but the approach and the action would have been essentially the same: TOWARD THE LEFT AND TYRANNY.
Whether or not you can admit it, in truth that is what you voted FOR in the vain fantasy that you were voting "against" Obama.
And yes, Romney would have been WORSE than Obama because he would have been doing the same things but with the full-voiced support of Republicans. As it happens, enough Americans were smart enough to spot the sucker's bet that YOU still fail to recognize. You are trying to take me into taking a sucker's bet, and I am telling you -- forget it. Already been there and done that.
Voting AGAINST the further destruction of the country is not voting for unicorns.
Since voting "against" on any ballot is mathematically and materially an illusion based on intention instead of action, it is every bit as imaginary as voting for unicorns.
Say there's a proposition on your ballot. You have TWO choices when it comes to propositions. You can vote YES on the proposition, or you can vote NO on the proposition. You can either vote FOR enacting the proposition, or you can vote FOR nixing the proposition.
Materially and mathematically, the option of voting "against" is purely imaginary, purely the assignment of intent. In ACTION when voting on the proposition, you either vote FOR saying yes, or FOR saying no.
But when you vote for a candidate, you are ONLY voting FOR saying yes to that candidate. You may intend it as a vote "against" the other candidate, you may intend the message to be "I say 'no' to the other guy," but materially and mathematically, the vote is SOLELY a vote FOR your candidate and everything he stands for.
Own what you vote for, please, and accept the hard cold truth that voting "against" is a mathematical sophistry.
His pro-choice position?
His ObamaCare arguments?
His support of Obama's Stimulus Package?
His support of Log Cabin Republicans?
Other?'
Well, your political absolutism got you your wish: four more years of a crypto-muslim-marxist-homosexual-brown underwear-skid. Romney was a better choice.
Nope.
He sure walks and smiles gay like.
Yes, I voted for him. I regret it as much as I regret voting for McCain. Cruz is the only one that’s talking like a candidate that I’d vote for.
Is that how you base your level of success?
A complete total ass-bite who sucks the big one? Or a general run of the mill loser who simply sucks less?
My political absolutism got me nothing. I did make the choices, I was simply stuck with them. You want to blame someone - blame the GOP-e.
NOT
I did NOT make the choices.....
Congratulations.... complete horseshit. ...
Horsesh*t or horse sense?
For the first time since becoming eligible to vote in 1984, I did not vote for the Republican candidate for President.
I hope Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie or some other squish doesn’t make me double down in 2016.
No. I don’t vote for lying Socialist frauds like Willard.
I agree with you. Too much group think around here. Too many LIARS. Romney could end up winning. All the slander hasn’t been working. We can only hope that we will be so lucky to survive the wicked Presidency of Obama as a nation. All the hatred against Romney when we have an Islamic President who supports ISIS is to the shame of those who tell lies about Romney.
Stop telling lies. Romney is against abortion. He explained his reason for his change in position. To not allow someone to change for the better is the spirit of the anti Christ. It’s wrong to slander men of character. No wonder why we have an Islamic traitor in the white house. Too many people are too easily deceived.
Count yourself among them.
“I OPPOSED virtually 100 percent of Romney’s governing philosophy as exemplified in his STANDING RECORD and RECORDED STATEMENTS. For an informed Republican conservative, voting for Romney was as nuts as voting for Obama, so I voted third party in order to reduce the popular mandate of whichever leftist won, Romney or Obama.”
We the people get limited choices for an election. Consider that thanks to those who stayed home, we have been saddled with two radical supreme court justices, the most corrupt AG in American history, the worst POTUS in history, unconstitutional appointed czars, regulations up the gazoo, same sex marriage, etc. Yep, staying home at election time really makes the country a better place (sic).
“First, the only people who “gave this country” Obama (snort at the rhetoric) are people who actively voted for him. Second, you can’t vote against a candidate. Third, voting your way is what got us to this point. “Let’s all just take whatever candidate the rest of the GOP chooses! YEH!” Stockholm Syndrome at its finest. It’s like att of you have been in an abusive relationship and don’t know how to leave”
Yeah staying home really helped to make this country a better place, two radical supreme court justices, hundreds of federal judges, corrupt AG, unconstitutional edicts from the most lefty, commie leaning socialist POTUS in history, same sex marriage, Kerry/ Clinton etc. etc. You get two choices, and if a third party candidate has a chance, fine, but staying home is ridiculous no one will ever agree with a nominee 100% of the time, but 70% isn’t a bad alternative.
Staying home is a neutral choice, it neither helps nor hurts. And I disagreed woth Romney more than 30% of the time. The ONLY way the GOP will change is to stop marching lockstep for them every election. “Elect and fix later” is a no-go. But hey, what do I know? Keep running back to your abusive boyfriend.
