Don't want Obama re-elected?
Then don't vote for Mitt Romney in the primaries!
Obama is 100% unacceptable. Romney and Paul are also 100% unacceptable.
Having just received a 2012 Congressional District Census questioner in the mail for our 1st congressional district, two of the questions went as follows:
"Do you plan on voting in the 2012 Presidential election?"
[my answer]:
-Yes
"If yes, do you plan on voting for Barack Obama or the Republican Nominee?
[my answer]:
- you left out the option of a write-in vote. If Mitt Romney is the GOP nominee, the establishment's darling, then this voter will be making a write-in vote for Sarah Palin.
Sean Hannity, who endorsed Romney in 2008, has been very outspoken in his opinion that whoever ends up being the GOP nominee will be better than Obama.
And those who don't want Obama re-elected, [like myself], then you had better rally around and support the GOP nominee even if it is Romney.
Wrong.
If you don't want Obama re-elected,-- then don't vote for Mitt Romney in the primaries. It's as simple as that.
Romney is 100% unacceptable, as is Obama.
Don't let the establishment have their way and crown their darling Romney at the convention.
There are still enough primaries and delegates unawarded to deny Romney the nomination if clueless folks will just determine to not vote for him.
A brokered convention is our only chance.
If such a scenario does happen to be the case, Sarah Palin has said she "has the fire in the belly" for a campaign if needed.
It is needed.
There has not been anyone who could rally, inject enthusiasm, and unite Republican voters like Palin.
That is why the left and rino Republicans hate and fear her.
If Obama is re-elected president it will be the fault of those foolishly voting to make Romney the nominee.
If Romney wins,-Obama wins.
“If such a scenario does happen to be the case, Sarah Palin has said she “has the fire in the belly” for a campaign if needed.”
Too bad she didn’t have that fire when everyone else did.
It's not called the stupid party for nothin'!
Sarah always has a big following on her facebooks pages. Everyone is asking her to run. I know I am not voting for mini-maxist.
Unless Mittwit wins the nomination — then a failure to hold the nose and vote for him is a vote for Obama. Thanks Amerisrael.
No. A vote for Romney is a vote for Romney.
I agree.
But its probably too late.
what?
I WILL NOT vote for either one of them.
I have voted straight republican since 1972. Will be no different this year. I can’t stand the democrats. This is after being a democrat supporter for JFK & LBJ. But I was young and immature then.

write in votes do NO good in the general election. They do not go to any elector that is named. The process for the electoral college is very specific. Nice try though.
Primaries are precisely the time I vote for the candidate I consider best
Are you saying you know who will win the election? -- If so, that would be valuable information.
Please don't misunderstand -- I'm no Romney fan, but if he is the Republican nominee and I am faced with the choice of compromising my conservative values in the general election by either voting for Romney or effectively voting for Obama (either by voting for a third-party candidate or not voting at all), the choice to me is clear. No matter how socially liberal he is, Romney is not Obama and he will not "fundamentally transform" our great Republic.
A vote for anyone but the GOP nominee in November is a vote for Obama. If you are not an immature child, you vote for your favorite in the primary, and if you lose you rally around the winner. If you do not, be a man an admit your vote for Obama. Be a stand up guy and vote for Obama instead of Romney. Wear your support for Obama, like the OWS crowd, with pride. No excuses will be accepted from the the victims of your stupidity, the rest of us. Stand there like Pvt Pyle in “Full Metal Jacket” and enjoy your donut while the rest of us are punished. A true stand up guy fights the good fight in the primaries, but once the primary result is in, rallies around the winner, be it any of the four. I want to win in November, not be dragged down by the my way or the highway immature clowns.
I would agree, if Mitt Romney were really a Republican.
“write in votes do NO good in the general election...”
Wrong. They do plenty good.
Especially if you don’t want the nominees of either party to be president.
And if Romney is the GOP nominee, then for this voter that will definitely be the case.
Again, don’t want Obama re-elected? Then don’t vote for Romney in the primaries!
The only way to stop Obama from being re-elected is to prevent Romney from being the GOP nominee.
While both Gingrich and Santorum are not perfect, they are not 100% unacceptable. Mitt Romney is.
Voting for Mitt (if he won the nomination) = still voting for a sure loser...meaning you're not just voting for Mitt Romney, but the permanent extinction of the GoP...plus searing your conscience for good (on what grounds would you EVER then say you wouldn't vote for a socialist healthcare-giving, pro-abortion offspring "donater," liberal judge-appointer, soft on illegal aliens, caterer to homosexuals, etc.??? Once you set you voting precedence in voting for Romney, might as well toss out any bottom-line convictions you have)
By permanent extinction of the GoP...you're telling the GoP establishment that it doesn't matter who they throw your way; if they have an (R) next to their name, you'll vote for him/her...no other standard...no other criteria necessary...nothing...you're training your kids & grandkids to vote for ANYBODY as long as it's not a (D)
You're also fueling the abandonment of the GoP.
Once you vote for somebody who says "I'm a god-in-embryo growing up to full-grown godhood" -- a pro-abort socialist healthcare-provider -- you're joining the provocation which is likely to move 29% of registered voters to under 20% (most of that % drop will come with a Romney nomination; others will wait til Romney would lose in November).
Sorry, but a GoP with under 20% of all registered voters (by 2013) = goin' the way of the Whigs...extinction.
(I mean, who wants to be associated with the majority of a party that would vote for a candidate who embodies socialized healthcare, abortion, liberal judges, no core values, homosexual caterers, and a gullible cultic 'I am a god' who shows zilcho for discernment...born out by sanctioning carte-blanche racism his first 13 adult years???)
You know what, those who voted for Bob Dole and Sen. McCain didn't do "any good" in the general election, either.
Those votes -- per your own standard here -- went down into the sewer and served no electoral good.
Per your standard -- Those who voted for Bob Dole wasted their vote. Dole lost.
“A vote for anyone but the GOP nominee in November is a vote for Obama. If you are not an immature child, you vote for your favorite in the primary, and if you lose you rally around the winner. If you do not, be a man an admit your vote for Obama....”
Baloney!
Your doing the bidding of the rino establishment.
A vote for Romney in the primaries is a vote to re-elect Obama.
A vote for a socialist is a vote for a socialist.
