Mittens is no stranger to extremist judges. He won’t appoint a conservative judge to the Supreme Court. He does not accept the limits on government per the constitution. He’s anti-second amendment, anti-right to life, and he’s for imposing amorality on the pubic in the case of homosexual dominance over religious freedom of speech and association. Mitt is a politically correct globalist and has no great commitment to the US or it’s constitution. He’s a typical limo-liberal corporatist guy. May as well put George Soros or Bill Gates in there.
I forget his name, but Mark mentioned him a lot while deconstructing a piece Ann Coulter did in support of Romneycare.
I won’t stay home I’ll write in Newt and vote down ticket for true conservatives Romney wants power and his fellow cult member Harry Reid already has it as majority leader of the senate. They are true first to the LDS cult, they are taught to grab power and authority by any means necessary. Romney is not a republican and Reid isn’t a democrat they are LDS cultists.
quite logical. Obama would indeed never lie and pretend to run as a Conservative.
Romney is more evil than Obama because Romney is outright saying he is Conservative. In the end, the enemy within is always more destructive than the enemy outside
“outright saying saying” needs to be “outright lying when he says”
At least we will decline slower under Romney, giving us a little more time to get the conservative message out, and to get real conservatives in local positions so they can start moving up the “food chain” so to speak.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wish I had your optimism. 4 years ago we settled for McCain. He was a disaster and we ended up with Obama. And as a result, did we move up in the “food chain” so to speak?
We did not. We are facing a choice even worse than McCain. (Romney) With a sick dose of Ron Paul on the side.
Holy Crap. If conservatives vote for Romney and he loses - WHO would we expect to be the GOP candidate 4 years from now? (I shudder to think of a RINO worse than Romney and Paul. I’m sure there are some, but I don’t want to think about it.)
So now. Now is the time to stop this liberal slide of Republicans from being considered. Yeah, I know that a write in vote for Palin, a third party vote for whoever, or not voting at all is the same as voting for Obama, but so what?
It does not matter whether its better or worse for the “conservative cause.” The question, the ONLY question, is which would be better for America- Romney or Obama? If you look at it solely from that point, clearly, a Romney presidency would be better for America.
Yes, there are those who argue that he is no better than Obama, that he would not reverse course, just slow us down. OK; let’s use that scenario... which is better? Heading toward the cliff (the destruction of America as we know it) at 600 MPH or slowing it down to 100 MPH? Hell, that’s easy... if you have a chance to either hasten or slow down the destruction of the country, you slow it down! In the case of a vote for Romney or Obama, clearly, the better choice under this scenario is Romney.
This election is crucial. The primary is critical as well. Vote your conscience and vote for the most conservative candidate. If Newt or Santorum wins the nomination, then great! But if it is Romney at the end of the day, we need to come together behind him. Is he ideal? No. Is he a true conservative? No. Is he better for the country than Obama? Clearly, yes... much better.
There are those here that believe that four more years of Obama will hasten a new American Revolution, or rather a Restoration. I am not among them. I believe that with the damage done in his first term, four more years will destroy America. We need to reverse course... but if we can’t do it right away, it is best to slow our march to destruction and try again in 4 years. To sit out this election, or cast a meaningless 3rd party vote (or worse, vote for someone who is not even running, like Palin) is to vote for the destruction of all that we hold dear. Obama must be stopped. If we can stop him with Romney, we will have bought ourselves four more years to try to get a true conservative...
I have come to the conclusion that at least half of these “I won’t vote for Romney because he’s no different than Obama” threads are attempts by the left to convince conservatives that they should not vote. The other half are idealogical purists who would never be satisfied because no candidate would ever match their disparate beliefs 100%.
For me the bottom line is this: WE MUST STOP OBAMA! If that means that I have to hold my nose and vote for Romney, I’ll do it. I did it with McCain... and if more of us would have done the same instead of sitting it out because McCain wasn’t conservative enough, we would not be on the brink of disaster... we lost seats in the house and senate because too many conservatives stayed home. Don’t make the same mistake again. Don’t fallm into the trap being set by the left. I don’t like Romney and don’t want him to be president, but if the choice is Romney or Obama, I will work my ass off to get Romney elected.
For the record, I was a Perry supporter. When he dropped out, I moved to Santorum. I can’t vote for Newt in the primary, but if he’s our nominee, I’ll work like hell to get him elected (same if its crazy old Ron Paul!)
If I see an option I may go that route. As of right now I haven't heard of a single third party option for president in 2012. One thing is certain, Romney legislatively is a more liberally successful version of Bill Clinton. I will not vote for Romney for the exact same reasons I didn't vote for Clinton.
Newt, for all his faults, was speaker of the house that impeached Bill Clinton.
"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton
No pondering necessary. Just look at Romney's record of judicial appointments for your answer. From some estimates I've read, 70% of his appointments to the bench while he was Governor, were liberals.
You think Harriet Miers stank? You ain't seen nuthin, if Romney becomes president.
No way will Romney be better...he has ZERO political courage, AND he HATES Conservatives, just as McCain does.
Plus, we would be constantly forced to defend his liberal policies because he claims to be a “Republican”. He will push this party further to the left, and marginalize Conservatives even more.
This is precisely how the GOP started committing suicide in the first place, this is why we are where we are today!
I will no longer vote for someone who hates me, and is embarrassed by my beliefs.
Everyone please read this It is very important and needs to be widely known
although I think they are wrong about Sarah
I can think of one other reason (and God knows I hope it doesn't come down to that). The thought of Obama not having to face the voters again (and thus no longer having to hide his agenda) scares the crap out of me.
In Mass. he governed from the Left, because that's how he won in a state where Republicans are a meager 12% of the electorate. Honestly, I don't know how he'd govern as President, but let's do America a favor and not find out....
At the end of the day, if Romney is the nominee, it could never be as bad as obama. While he has rino tendencies, I believe we the people can - and will - keep him in check. I don’t see him as being dictatorial and running roughshod over Congress and the people the way obama most certainly will. Look what he’s done in 3 years? Just imagine obama in a nothing-to-lose second term. If romney beats obama in the general, the voters WILL hold him accountable.
Is 4 more years of the same with republicans to blame worse than 4 more years of the same with democrats to blame?
