The notion (however questionable) that this useless GOP pig is marginally better than that Demonrat one has a name: moral relativism. Conservatism is NOT about moral relativism.

Do you believe "progressive" is code language for "communist"?
A lot of people here do. "Yes, I agree with that question". Some don't. "No, a progressive is not a communist".
So then what say you about Mitt Romney, who has openly stated the very thing.(and his record shows the truth of his claim)
It’s doubtful, but if that is your reason for settling for Obama, go for it. I don’t see a conservative option or alternative that is on the table in this election, at least not one that can leave the realm of principle to become political reality and power. The only options I see are Obama or Romney. I stooped to voting for McCain, so voting for Romney isn’t that much of a chore, and I guess I’ll be stuck with these choices until conservatives can get candidates who can win primaries. Taking my toys out of the Republican sandbox, and standing back where I can keep regurgitating all the anti Romney vitriol I worked up during the primary, and I have tons of it, doesn’t get Obama out of office, and it doesn’t help get conservatives elected to Congress. I’m in this for the long haul.
I guess you missed my tag line. Like you, I'll be voting against Obama.
Suggesting that Romney, who has not only been highly successful in business, but apparently by understanding how Capitalism works best, has "Communist leanings," is rather far fetched. Certainly there have been many wealthy Socialists--often the neurotic, guilt fed heirs to what men like Mitt Romney have earned;--but there is no inkling that Mitt Romney is such. His move to the right rhetorically over the last few years would make little sense, then. His behavior certainly does not suggest that he is some sort of "Manchurian Candidate."
Why do some folk insist, day after day, in attacking Romney, when Obama continuously ramps up the class-warfare? Class-warfare is what Communism starts as; only a small number of leaders actually even pretend to understand the looney verbal constructs of Karl Marx. It is the appeal to envy & resentment, the Blame & Envy Cocktail that fires up the mob.
I have suggested that Romney can be moved further to the Right by a polite, patient, persistent effort to play to his better nature; Romney & American Conservatism. But whether the effort proposed convinces Romney or not, it makes sense for the public in general--it will not hurt if we focus on the things suggested.
Frankly, the demagogue in office leaves us no choice but to rally all we can to vote for his removal. As for Romney in Massachusetts? Did he lead the people there to the ideas that we Conservatives do not like, or were they already there--in effect leading him to those positions? Think about who led whom!

I STRONGLY take exception to that comment.
We have a choice.
Make it right. There may be no second choice...
Good call. Liberal Romney supporters infest FR and it doesn't take much to see that one for what she is.
Interesting idea. Although I want to be clear...I am not a Romney HATER. I do not even know the man. I am sure I would enjoy visiting with him, meeting his family, etc.
I simply do not like his past record, nor am I willing to put faith in a promised conservative record, and I completely disagree with his chosen religion, which will effect his leadership and it is foolish to suggest otherwise. Further, he appears to be a globalist, which is dangerous to our nation.
I actually do not see him as evil. I see him as vastly misguided.
So it would seem that we agree to disagree and you will vote for Romney and I will not, and that is what this process is all about. Individuals speaking on their own behalf.
Thank you for sharing your rational with me and hearing my rational. :-) Will will all see in November, eh?
I have a collection of her crap as altura over there, before she changed her screen name ot Ms Snarky.
sleaking = speaking
All creeps. I have no interest in any of you.
I can’t imagine that I replied to one of you.
But you certainly can’t tell me what to do no matter how you follow me from site to site (which is way sick in my opinion)
You may not know that I joined Lucianne’s site after she left Free Republic. I’ve posted there a few times, you might want to run over there.
There are several more sites I go to,but I assure you that I do not mention anyone with an IQ of under 80 anywhere I go.
And with the morals of a toad.
my previous post to ‘all’ was not directed to all but to the few creeps who are obsessed with me.
I’ve never insulted them beyond maybe calling them stupid but they absolutely hate me.
So, I will certainly oblige them by never posting to any of them again and hope they will grant me the same favor.
we are not obsessed with you. That’s your delusional mind running your mouth/fingers. We find you a disgusting two-faced creep who continues to expose your treacherous duplicity every chance you get, like it must be done to feed your sick ego somehow. Do you deny posting the insutls we have copied from ‘that other site’ and shown at FR?
; )
I prayed to God that we get the right man in the White House and the right Congress in 2012 to stop our country's downhill slide.
I was first for Herman Cain, then for Gingrich and then settled for Santorum. We got none of them. We got the guy I feared the most, Romney.
Now I just got to trust God answered my prayers and that in some way I don't understand right now Mitt Romney is the right guy.
I look at it this way. Romney can't do anything regarding Abortion or Gay Marriage. But he can do something about the economy which is the foremost important issue. I also know Romney understands business unlike President Kardashian. He's run business's and knows how much government can hurt business. If he can get the economy growing again and get us back in the black on the budget, then he could be worth it in the end.
I don't trust the guy (or any politician) but I trust and will continue to pray he is the right man, that God will lead him on a clear course that is right for America and is right by God.
We can complain about Romney and all his faults, but he is the only one that can take 0bama out at this point. We just got to put it in God's hands and pray the right thing will happen.
If 0bama is re-elected it only means a majority of Americans have rejected God and will suffer the consequences for doing so. Unfortunately the good will have to suffer to because of the bad.
And given that I had not posted anything to you for weeks if not months prior to your attacking me in another thread, it's a lie to say I am obsessed with you. But you've never had a problem lying, it's what you do.
You lied to your fellow FR/Jim haters when you said you "have held off contributing to FR". You either lied then or you lied on these pages when you said you did. Which is it?
You lied when you said you wrote that famous post wherein you said Jim was insane, something you have since said you wrote prior to his offering the truce. That was another lie proven by the fact that you mentioned the truce in that very post!
You lied when you wrote this. Do those kooks at your favorite hate-FR site really not know ms snarky is altura? They''ll probably read this so they do now.
You are a liar and a duplicitous creep. And as long as you continue your duplicitous ways of trash-talking this forum and it's owner, either I or someone else is sure to call you on it.
Have a nice day...ms snarky.
The thing is, I can provide plenty of evidence that mitt is a lying globalist and a socialist who displays symptoms of psychopathy.
And you're reduced to spewing ad hominem at other FReepers. How cute.
Of course! mitt is a dumocrap to the core so of course dumocraps esteem him so highly.
