To Those Of You Conservatives Who Plan On Sitting Out This Election
Vanity | September 26, 2012 | Diamond6

Posted on 09/27/2012 10:28:51 AM PDT by diamond6

A conversation between my husband and a FReeper who wants to sit out the election because he doesn't like Romney:

"See, I believe that we are already past the tipping point.”

You really are naive. Nothing worse can happen, huh?

How about those hefty taxes that are planned for the “rich” (really small businesses) in January? Think that might possibly cause our economy to get even worse by increasing the jobless?

How about the $1 trillion dollar debt (conservatively estimated) for the next fiscal year’s budget and every year’s budget thereafter?

How about the disregard and attacking of the rights of all religious institutions, who will be forced to pay for something they believe is morally wrong? Do you think quite possibly Catholic hospitals and facilities might possibly go out of business?

How about the actual implementation of Obama Care, which will devalue our way of life, drive doctors out of the business, bankrupt insurance companies, and cause skyrocketing premiums?

How about the complete collapse of our economy, which will likely result in unprecented skyrocketing inflation rates and quite possibly a depression that we have never ever seen the likes of?

What about the complete disregard of any and all pro-life protections - babies, the elderly (euthanasia - they won’t be needed anymore?

How about the removal of any moral values for our country at all?

How about World War III in the Middle East, the annihiliation of Israel, and a nuclear holocaust there as well, with the fear of dirty bombs in this country?

How about the removal of all our rights - free speech, freedom of religion, right to bear arms through Obama executive order fiats?

How about the replacement of our conservative judges with ultra liberal anti-Constitutionalists?

How about a Communistic-style of government that will lead us to the point of no return?

Your no vote is a vote for Communism. Congratulations on your “principled” approach. And you’re doing that to teach the party “a lesson”? There won’t be a 2016 election to turn to, after Obama gets done.

You and others like you have no genuine concern or accountability for our country at all.

as bad as Romney MAY be, I know for certain that Obama is truly 1000 times worse.

That is the crux of our disagreement.
4 years of an opposed Obama or 8 years of an unopposed Romney. Seems about the same to me.

At that time when we declare that the party nominate a conservative “or else”, We will be believed.

All twelve of you will be as relevant as those who vote for the Taxes Are Too Damn High party.

And if it really is just twelve of us, then FReepers will be taken for granted (again) and they will nominate another RINO (again) and we will lose (again).

But it won’t be my fault.

The credibility of people is always subject to change.

Principles are unchanging.

Nothing you do can change conservative principles.

Nothing you do can make credibility unchangeable.

Thank you for your thread, you make excellent points. Through leftist incrementalism and takeover of the schools and media, we now have a Kenyan communist in the White House who was brought up on anti-Americanism in his mother’s milk.

It is mind-boggling to me that anyone who claims to care about this country won’t do everything in their power to dethrone this monster :-(

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking:  What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?  Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?  The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

No there is no guarantee of a restoration, but there is a guarantee of a system collapse. The question is when.

Sooner is better.

So you are deliberately trying to destroy America. Thank you at least for admitting it.

This was outstanding! I may not like everything about Romney, but the alternative is unthinkable. I liked him more last election, but your husband is right; there won’t be a 2016. Vote for the RINO over the communist any day. I’m also counting on Paul Ryan to TEACH Mitt how to be a conservative. Those qualities should rub off.

Destruction of this country will come by those who vote for Obama. If you are not with Romney, you are against him.

I'm not voting for either Obama or Romney.

Now if that means I am against Romney - so be it, amen. The intimidation tactics don't affect me bub. Might as well state that if I don't vote for Romney I stand with the Jihadists.

And If my refusal to vote for Romney bothers you...too bad.

What're you gonna do about it?

Come hunt down us folks who would not surrender our faith and principles? If so - take a number.

You folks illustrate my contention that we are about to make the French Revolution bloodbath look like a picnic in the park in comparison.

Me personally destroying America? Are you really this obtuse? Nevermind, that was rhetorical.

I’ll go slower so you can be sure to follow along. First you have to understand the Federal Reserve’s role in the ruling el... HEY LOOK OVER THERE!!! COMMUNISTS!!!

I posted the link with the CNS NEWS HEADLINE.

You got a problem with that and want to accuse them of lying?

TAKE IT UP WITH THEM.

Seems pretty clear to me that Ryan is okay with Homosexuals openly serving in the military.

Here’s his own words - they’re on video at the link: “Now that it’s done, we should not reverse it. I think that would be a step in the wrong direction because people have already disclosed themselves.”

“I think this issue is past us,” he added. “It’s done. And I think we need to move on.”

I would bet that we will hear the same thing from the Romney ticket about ObamaCare and every other thing Obama has already done that we want repealed: It’s done. And I think we need to move on”.

Just ONE MORE REASON to vote for a staunch Conservative and NOT for Romney .

What I find hilarious is that for you people, 'everything in your power' seems limited to voting in a rigged and compromised election process for a Ruling Class Liberal vs a Marxist who CHOSE Romney to be his opponent.

Sorry. Some of us are thinking past November, recognizing where we already have arrived.

The useful idiots who want you to sit out of this election had better open their eyes to what Obama, Eric Holder and their collectivist, Muslim Brotherhood Globalists are already perpetrating against our Republic.

Having taken the oath and spending four years in the service myself I wouldn’t expect any of my service brothers whom I’ve bonded with where ever I have worked to sit out this election.

Get off your butts and do some simple research to learn why this is the most important election in the history of our Country...

just watched the video where he says that's past us. So what did he say if he didn't say homosexuals are OK in the militry.

RYAN EVEN EXPRESSED SYMpATHy For tHose who"D already exposed themselves ~ but they shouldn't have been in there in the first place.

NO, RYAN HAS turned his back on the last 4 million years of human evolution and thrown his lot in with the faggots.

MUST HAVE BEEN MOLESTED AS A we laddie eh!

When you knowingly repeat a lie, you yourself are lying.

It’s NOT A LIE. WATCH THE VIDEO AT THE LINK.

CNS NEWS. Not exactly CNN on the spin for the Socialists.

HEAR WHAT RYAN HIMSELF SAYS IN REGARDS TO HOMOS OPENLY SERVING IN THE MILITARY.

AND THEN COME BACK HERE AND TRY AND TELL ME CNS NEWS AND ALL OF US WHO NOTE WHAT RYAN SAID ARE LIARS.

The headline fits with exactly what Ryan said. He wants us to ‘move on’ from the issue of Homosexuals openly serving in the military.

Next up: Romney and Co will tell us we need to “move on” from the issue of repealing ObamaCare.

They could have ten thousand of those hideous things and still not come even close to getting all of us.

The bastards still gotta get out to pee, make a donut run, etc.
And at the end of the day they have to go home .. assuming it hasn't been burned down during the shift.
Along with whatever family might've been unfortunate enough to be there.

It'll be war, and it'll be atrocious.
But in the end, they will NOT prevail.

Hey, you can hyperventilate all you want, exaggerate all you want (like calling him Rooney...LOL), but you didn't get the hint.

Mitt Romney worked in the capitalist system. He built and helped businesses. He understands making payroll, he understands building staff, he understands making profit.

Obviously you do not.

You think he's a socialist.

You're a total moron, like another poster said, it's hardly worth posting to you.

Do you have a business? Do you actually understand what you're talking about?

I don't think so......
