It’s slop like this pic that makes me doubt my own sanity. It’s slop like this that makes my say: “Screw it, I’m voting for Gary Johnson.” (Despite his wacky Ron Paul-like views on foreign policy, Johnson had the best public service record out of all the Republican nominees, except for maybe Newt. There wasn’t a law he wasn’t afraid to veto.)
This sucks. This truly sucks.
“The only sensible thing for conservatives to do, IMO, is, at the price of forfeiting any say in which anti-conservative goes up against our conservative Republicans, voting (by going third party — Virgil Goode, Tom Hoekstra, or someone else on the ballot) to weaken the voter mandate of whichever anti-conservative gets the White House.”
Then we’ll get the joys of another 4 years of the dog-eating, homosexual agenda pushing Kenyan. Virgil Goode cannot defeat Obama. Tom Hoekstra cannot defeat Obama. Jew hater Ron Paul cannot defeat Obama, and neither can space cadet Gary Johnson. Reality is what reality is. Whether we like it or not, (and God help me I don’t) Romney is the only chance we have in getting rid of Chairman Obama once and for all.
I think it will be far easier to push Romney into the light than it will be the Marxist Kenyan. Also, with all eyes on the Presidential Popularity Contest, we have a serious chance to fill the Senate and House with Conservatives. We can surround Romney with Conservatives whether he likes it or not.
He out spent everyone and had the FOX Neocon Channel (FNC) bailing him out. Romney isn’t the speaker Gingrich is. He didn’t have the cultists following him that Jew hater Ron Paul has, and he’s nowhere near as fiery as Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, or Herman Cain.
If you look at Romney’s record in The People’s Republic of Taxachussetts, you’ll see a whole lot of bowing down to socialism and reaching across the aisle. Not a whole lot of Scott Walker-like cojones.
It is what it is.
Anyone who thinks they are analogous is part of the problem not part of the solution.
Cute, but ridiculous. That makes absolutely no sense.
Anyone who thinks the choice between Obama and Romney is in any way similar to choosing between Stalin and Hitler isn’t capable of judging what is and isn’t ridiculous.
That’s probably not going to work ~ it didn’t when the GOP-e ran Windell Willkie against Roosevelt ~ it won’t work here.
Oh? Study Romney's record from when he was Governor of Massachusetts and make the case that his politics bear any substantial difference to Obama's.
Trust me. You can't do it. But go ahead and try, if you think you can.
I'd choose the latter. He stopped, or was stopped after a few million, while the former was still being worshipped for a long, long time, here and elsewhere.
Maybe, maybe not. It can’t hurt to try.
I hope and pray that Romney Wins and we get rid of the socialist;
Romney will be Pushed to the right.
And unlike Bush, he may surprise us all my governing as a conservative. Where bush governed more like a rino.
Romney has shown no sign he is for life, he’s a con.
His record is pro-abortion. Obama is a maximum pro-abort.
I will not vote for either and you can’t say you didn’t know.
It is a grave mortal sin on your soul, for anyone who legislates abortion, you cooperated with their evil.
Puhleeeeze.....
Use a little common sense, would you? Romney and George Bush were both Governors. Compare their records as Governors, then tell me which one of them governed more like what we expect of a conservative.
Well, I'll tell you. It was George Bush without reservation. Romney didn't govern like a Republican, let alone, a conservative. At least George Bush's record as Governor bore some resemblance to conservatism. Romney? Not even close. He pegged the needle hard to the left while he was Governor.
And if you think the conservative right will have any place at the table in a Romney administration, you're dreaming fairy tales. No such thing will occur. He can blather on about how "severely conservative" he is, but his record says otherwise. He's already filling up spots in his future administration with confirmed liberals.
Don't be a dope. If you're determined to pull the lever for Romney, that's your right, but just know what you're getting. It's not what you're hoping and praying it is. Trust me. He's going to break your heart if he becomes president.
Precisely, which is why people like our friend factmart sound so whacked out drunk on the Kool-Aid to me.
I can understand if they're so panic stricken about Obama that they feel they have no choice but to vote for Romney, but to attempt to push their pretzel logic on the rest of us, and promote the idea that he's 'not so bad', or that 'he can be pushed to the right', is sheer dishonesty.
If someone is willing to shunt aside every conservative principle they have, in order to vote out of fear and duress for a man who has violated every one of those principles, then that's their loss of personal honor and integrity - not mine.
Wow, is this thread durable or what ? Whoulda thunk that a few hastily written paragraphs would cause such a fuss ?
One never knows when they're going to push a button that's currently red hot.
I've posted threads that I just knew would go to a couple hundred posts, just to see them die on the vine after a dozen or so. Then again, I'll get bored and just post something off the cuff that I don't think all that much about, and wham-o. I get replies for a solid week.
What's that old saying? 'Posting threads is like a box of chocolates....' LOL
On second thought, I just read your original comment again, and there’s no surprise that it generated so much discussion. You really touched on some things that have been hanging in people’s minds for a while now.
Great editorial.
Boy, I know that feeling. There have been times I’ve slaved away on stuff for days on end, just to watch it die on the vine. Other times, I’ve typed one measly sentence and got a bunch responses.
Mine is not to question why, mine is to make silly comments or die.
:)
I don’t know if my illiterate scratching is worthy of such praise, but it is appreciated.
Thank you!
He won’t break my heart, Zero would.
