Romney is the suicide vest on the body of the GOP.
That's BS and if Bork Obunga is elected to a second term, there will not be any pieces left lying around for anybody more conservative than Mitt Romney to try to pick up or put back together four years or twelve years later. I assume that's why Mark Levin has indicated that he is supporting Romney at this point.
Yes I know that the Green Party is opposed to everything that is right and just. I know that whoever they choose will be a reprehensible person.
However, if the Green Party gets 5% of the popular vote they will become an official party as far as the US Government is concerned. That will mean that they can demand to participate in presidential debates. That means they can get some funding from the US Government. However, sickening that prospect might be, it will allow them to pose something of a threat to the left flank of the Democrat Party.
Splitting the leftist vote is about the only thing we can hope for out of this election with Romney as the GOP candidate.
If your state is blue, vote Green!
If you're planning on voting 'None of the Above', vote for the party that is Always Wrong.
Mike Steele is not an Establishment Republican ~ in fact, after he presided over one of history’s greatest electoral triumphs the Republican Establishment FIRED Mike and brought in Priebus ~ who really is a hardcore Mittbot!
Willard, the White Zero.
Better yet, let’s just vote for zero, that’ll show ‘em. If zero is re-elected, this country will never recover. It will suck and only be a memory. At that point, an Amerika under zero can go straight to hell, it will go the way of nazi Germany.
So, go ahead with FUMR, and we can all agree with ‘rev’ Wright when he said God Damn America.
The GOP-e knows that conservatives live on the Republican Plantation as surely as Blacks live on the Democrat Plantation.
They aren’t willing to stand up and object to being taken for granted. They aren’t willing to leave.
Both groups are pitiful slaves.
As long as they live in fear (and if you listen, it is fear that is driving conservatives to tell us we must support Willard),
hoping for a Reagan once every hundred years when the stars align, and suffering for the rest of the century, it will continue.
These conservatives pretend to be voting for conservatives, but create their own destiny by accepting the abuse because of their fear.
The Plantation owners have no worry that conservatives will go elsewhere. They own you because of your fear. Willard has abused
conservative values throughout his whole career and in this primary season.
I’m done voting as a slave of the RINO-Plantation. FUMR. FUGOP-e.
Now that I left the Plantation, my vote must be earned. It must be earned by conservative candidates. It will not be given to baby-killers,
gay marriage supporters or RINOmney - but I repeat myself.
Anytime I start feeling the pressure of ‘not wasting my vote’ or ‘anyone but Obama’, I just play this short four seconds... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhx8e9j7r0w
LOL, no we didn't. Virtually none of us here weighed electability and ended up voting for Romney.
The conservative base and grass roots mostly voted for other candidates, there just aren't enough of us - AND we didn't put up a compelling enough alternative to attract moderates and conservative minded people that don't pay much attention (which is a LOT of people).
Bachmann blew up her own campaign screeching at Perry over the HPV thing. She just came across terribly un-presidential and it destroyed her. Cain couldn't defend his personal indiscretions, Perry couldn't communicate well enough to be successful at the national level (the debates proved this). Ron Paul is a Libertarian and will never get anywhere in the Republican party due to his far left foreign and defense policy views. Santorum was a better candidate than expected, but still could only appeal to social conservatives once it became clear he wanted to talk about things like contraception being "not okay". I like Newt and have supported him, but I guess the things many of us like about him are just not appealing to enough people. That's just the problem, conservatives, base voters and grass roots supported all manner of different candidates but could never rally to one or even agree on a consensus candidate - and worse, no conservative candidate could appeal to the lower information voters that are inclined to vote Republican.
I think that already happened. Like four years ago...
Romney was not my choice, and, to me, he was the worst of the group that ran for the GOP nomination, but...
It’s over, and now, we have to support him, even if reluctantly, because, at the end of the day, he’s many times better than the destroyer-in-chief now living at the White House.
So, I will not sit home hoping for the best, and I will not sit home in protest of what the GOP gave us, and I will not wait till 2016 to try to rescue this country. Now is the time to work to get rid of Obama via our votes. We don’t have a choice, and voting for a third party candidate won’t give us what we want. It’s time for Obama to go, and voting for the worst that “our” party gives us, is much better than allowing the worst of presidents ever to continue destroying the country.
Conservatives have nobody to blame but themselves.
Not-Romney after not-Romney was shot down. Often this was because conservatives turned on them for not being sufficiently conservative on one issue or another.
The perfect is the enemy of the good. Insisting that we must have a perfect not-Romney had a good deal to do with ensuring that we wound up with Romney.
Insisting that we must have a perfect not-Obama may play a role in ensuring this Nov. that we wind up with Obama for another four years.
>>...we can send a message to the RNC that we are a force to be reckoned with and our voices will be heard...<<
Good luck. However, a protest-vote, write-in, sit-out, whatever is not going to teach the GOP-e anything. I doubt they would be bothered, much less give a rat’s patoot what we do. There are far too many “republican” voters who will dutifully line-up and vote the way the GOP-e/MSM tells them to vote. We are seeing that in action right now as Romney becomes the presumptive nominee.
So, if anyone has any ideas how to change it, they should start providing the nitty-gritty details so we can get it underway for 2016.
As for me, this fall I’m voting for the GOP nominee, whoever that may be. Obama must go before he can make any more liberal *lifetime* SCOTUS appointments. At this point, that should be one of our primary motivators. The hell with the GOP. I don’t care if they think my voting for their nominee is because I’m loyal to them. They’ll never see another penny from me. I’m voting to get rid of Obama. That is all that matters to me at this point.
We have the next four years to figure out how to gut the GOP-e and nominate an actual *LEADER* who can inspire, motivate, persuade and bloody well *LEAD* the country.
My principles direct me to vote for my preferred candidate in the primary, but in the general, I *MUST* do everything I can to unseat Obama. I’d vote for the town drunk if he were running against Obama. If it comes to it, Romney will be an easy vote for me to cast. I don’t care for him personally, but it’s not about *me*; it’s about what’s best for the country. If my choices are limited to Romney or Obama — it will be Romney. Anything else would border on emotion-driven retaliation agaisnt the GOP-e, rather than logic & reason.
I’m voting Constitution party. All 6 candidates have peaked my interest for the nomination.
We are stuck with the hand we were dealt. Sitting this one out or voting 3rd Party this Election cycle is a non-starter. If Zero gets another term, there will be nothing left to save in 2016.
