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 years budget and every years 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 wont 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 youre doing that to teach the party a lesson? There wont 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.
I support Israel and believe it’s very important that our country support Israel.
Romney/Ryan would be a heck of a lot better for Israel than are Obama/Biden/Hillary.
Ryan has good conservative credentials. Vote to put Ryan in as VP, so he can step up to bat if Romney were unable (due to illness, for example) to serve out his term.
Thats OK. My point has been and always be, that it took about 100 years to get to this point, and if anyone thinks that it can be changed in one term, are really living in a fantasy world.
This will take years to get sorted out. Not in my remaining lifetime either.
I can make money under Romney
I can’t under Zero
Case closed.
What a sour-grapes crybaby you are - pouting because your candidate was rejected!
just own up to what you do....take responsibility...
if we get Rom in, its not like Reagan, we won't like many things...we'll be mad many times...
but we'll sleep at night...we'll have leader who will not be a muzzy, we'll have a guy who skin in the game...we'll have a guy who didn't spend time with Pakistan radicals and Man's country perverts...
its a clear choice..
Obama does not have the ability to stop time.
And President Obama thanks you.
Your analogy assumes the same SIZE of car which is incorrect. Romney will NOT be opposed by the party and will in fact, because he is supported by the GOP-e, USE the party to force acceptance of his form of socialism. Thus it is either 4 years of an opposed Obama or 8 years of an unopposed Romney.
So the correct analogy is: Which is easier to stop and reverse, a fast car or a slow semi?
Obama has given every outward indication of inflicting harm on our country...his mindset, his policies, and his actions ARE a clear and present danger. A non-vote for Romney by write-in, or third party IS a vote for Obama. He does not care how he wins, only THAT he wins.
While Romney may not be the perfect Republican candidate, it would stop the current hemorrhaging. It would buy us time to push for more conservatives in 2014 and 2016, and to unravel the mess we're in currently.
I can and will make money under either - so it is not closed for me.
my candidate was not rejected. I had a range of acceptable candidates from Ron Paul to Perry to Bachman, to Gingrich, any of which I could vote for in the general.
Romney is unacceptable to me. Always has been. I’ve been saying this since like, ever.
So this is just chickens coming home to roost. The GOP decided they didn’t need my vote, that is all.
No whining here, just stating the facts.
Also, I live and vote in Ohio.
The gummint will go on as before.
One or two characteristics of Communists, which repeats itself across every country where they took over, has been hunger for power, the incredible ability and smarts to retain it, and absolute incompetence when it comes to governing, administering.
And that incompetence is a good enough reason to vote our fine Communist out.
And vote another statist in!
That is the beauty of our two party system. We are way ahead of Soviet Russia, here we pretend to give people a choice, and the chumps buy it.
We even let them argue and have a little control over (some) social issues.
I really don’t care who thanks or curses me. I am a CONSERVATIVE first who just happens to be registered GOP. The reason I registered GOP was because, at the time, the GOP WANTED conservatives in their camp. Now I see that is no longer the case. The GOP is all about getting and maintaining power for the party. And they will attack anyone who disagrees with them.
So the party that puts forth CONSERVATIVE positions and candidates gets my vote.
My voting history is Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, McCain.
McCain was a hard sell, but Palin turned it.
Not this year. I won’t vote for a Liberal Mormon statist.
In a battleground state you shouldn’t do that.
Weren’t you ever taught to be a team player?
