If the “rebellion” at the convention is successful I will vote for that nominee. If it is not successful I will still vote for the Republican nominee.
This isn’t rocket science.
You are only predicting Romney’s behavior with a Republican congress, but you know what Obama and his policies will bring regardless of the congress.
The fact that Romney isn’t Obama is a good enough reason for me....
Then you are part of the establishment and you are not a part of the rebellion. The Establishment must be taught that there is a large segment of the GOP who will no longer sit by and watch the GOP turn into a lighter version of the socialist democrat party.
You have signaled that you are on board with Romney only because he is not Obama. You are the kind of voter that the GOP-E was counting on when they threw all their cards on the table for Romney. They knew they could count on people like you being squishy and cowering in fear at the threat of another 4 years of Obama, so they conspired together to give us the most liberal former governor in the history of the United States as the standard bearer for the GOP.
Romney basically got about 30-40% of the votes in the GOP Primaries and caucuses, but because nearly all the primaries were "OPEN" primaries, a large portion of the votes that Romney got were cross over votes from democrats (who really didn't even have a primary) and liberal brainwashed independents who couldn't make up their minds about any candidate and were sold on the lies that Romney was the best candidate to take on Obama.
So go cower in the corner. The GOP-E is pleased to know that you are not going to rebel against their concerted joint war on liberty. As for me, I will do something that Romney has never done in his life. I will stand for something. I will take the risk that my rebellion might make my life a little more uncomfortable for a season.
The Rebellion is on. I know we can't count on you. Who can we count on?
