“Well you guys who print that you will not back Romney, this is what you get.... “
This is also what Massachusetts got from Romney, so what’s your point?
Fine, then give your vote to Obama.
I’ll think of you when I am sitting in chains somewhere in a soviet-style Gulag.
I'm not giving Obama any vote. I reject the reasoning that "a vote for anyone other than Romney is a vote for Obama" for if this were true then my vote literally does not count unless I vote a particular way. That is more an indictment of the system than it is of me.
Ill think of you when I am sitting in chains somewhere in a soviet-style Gulag.
Ah, so you're just going to go quietly into the night? I honestly hope that I am shedding enemy blood before that point, because if it gets to that point then I, and every person sworn to uphold/defend the US Constitution, have failed utterly.
so as far as you're concerned, every decision by a judge that you basically believe in must be in accordance with your own opinion.....good luck on that one.
I would be very dubious of a judge who agreed with me on every matter, that would lower him to my level of legal understanding....and believe me, that could be very dangerous.
AMEN
No, I did not say that. The problem is precisely this: any judge who thinks that a) it's been done before makes it ok, b) the constitution is whatever the USSC says it is, and/or c) the USSC can alter the Constitution ought not be a supreme court Justice.
a -- is precisely the idolization of case law and precedent.
b -- is a proud mind, incapable of accepting the authority of the Constitution over his position.
c -- is one who thinks himself above the law, a Black-Robed God-King.
The result is the same. Give my regards to your friends in Pravda and at the Politburo, too.
Of course the result is the same! That's exactly my point!
Obama Romney | | | | | | | | Marxist Fabian Socialist Socialist \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / IMPLEMENTS SOCIALISM
So, why should I violate my conscience by voting for a socialist?
Also, rather ironically, you can get what I hear is better news from Pravda than the US media sources.
A truly cynical and jaded view. I don’t share it.
Then list your reasons that you don’t.
Show me sound reasoning showing Romney *won’t* implement socialism.
I could list 1,000 and you would not care. Solipsism on the Right can be as bad as solipsism on the Left. And those kinds of arguments, especially here at FR, are endless and fruitless. . . as well as old news. An election is at hand. One reaches a point where one chooses to put a little faith in people (all of who are imperfect creatures), or one does not. I choose to. When good men do nothing, evil fills the vacuum, which is what your negativity would allow. I am saddened by that, but I hope you have a good day.
Agreed.
which is what your negativity would allow.
My negativity? I'm truly sorry you see my refusal to support the GOP's selection of such a lackluster candidate as 'negativity.'
The GOP isn't my wife, I said no vow to stick by it is sickness and in health, in good times and in bad; why should I give it that level of commitment?
I am saddened by that, but I hope you have a good day.
Thank you; you have a good day as well.
Maybe the article should have been titled “Flashpoint: Free Republic!”
The simple fact of the matter is that in 2012 a president will be elected no matter how much you complain about the result. The choices are simple too. You can vote and contribute to the victory/defeat of either candidate or you you can contribute to neither.
Do whatever you think will create the greatest good but don’t say the results are all equal.
I will vote for Romney as I think he’s a decent man. Obama is certainly not.
So you will like Obama’s better??
You’re assuming they won’t be the same judges.
Besides, the quality of a “good judge” is objectively not relative.
