And I appreciate the support from yourself and Commander Riker ;)
I also would like someone to explain to me the logic in all these TEA Party rallies, all the Talk Radio and all the ‘name’ conservatives giving us the full monty sales pitch on why we need to send rabid right wing pit bulls to Congress, yet when it comes to their leader, well, the lib will do. Schizophrenic much?
Does any thinking person believe, I mean really in their heart and rational mind BELIEVE that makes one iota of sense? “We want a CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT!!! ...but we’ll vote for the biggest lib the party ever ran because...well we have to!
Gee...I wonder WHY the GOP keeps sending us more liberal libs.
And of course last time we HAD to vote for McCain because of the crazy Democrat. (And I dutifully did because of Palin). Before that Bush because of the crazy Dems Gore/Kerry. Before that it was Dole because of the Crazy dem. Each time the GOP candidate was more and more liberal. Gee #2: there’s a pattern here. In 2016 the GOP will be running a registered Democrat or an open Marxist. Why? Because the Crazy Democrat on the other side will be crazy, destroy America ect.
Duh. That’s what they do. They are Democrats. So what? We elect one of our own who is lockstep lib because he’s our lockstep lib?
Fact: The Dems will ALWAYS run a crazy man/woman. It’s who they are.
Fact: If we keep voting for liberal Republicans out of fear of the crazy democrat, we ARE crazy Democrats.
No matter what happens it’s going to hella suck. People are going to lose lots of everything. Anyone hoping a miracle will happen under ‘our’ liberal are living in a fantasy. There will be no magic bullet. We can either take the pain now or take worse pain in the future. But there WILL be pain.
The smart thing is to stop the bleeding and tend the wound. But it seems that many want to just let it fester and then in 4 years, the dems elect the crazy dem even crazier than this one and guess what? Just like the last 4 times “We have to vote for X or the country burns!!!”
Insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting a different outcome. We DO have a choice. We can vote for a conservative, or even a semi conservative, take the pain, and begin to rebuild. Or we can ride the train to hell on different tracks.
And again, I defy anyone to show me where any of the above is logically incorrect.
The logic is correct but how many votes are you going to get with logic? Certainly not enough to win the presidency.
Your logic is incorrect because you blindly use the term "liberal" to describe someone who is right of center. If you objectively look at the actual platform, policies, history, and governance of Romney, you will find that he is on the right hand side of the distribution of all of the people in the US. He may not be far enough right to satisfy the Romney-Mormon haters here, but he is far from "liberal". It is your promiscuous use of the term "liberal" that defies logic.
Norm, I feel for ya.
All the backers of Bishop Willard, The Celestial Child From Planet Kolob, who approach me have the same MO: personal insults, ad hominem attacks, and strawman memes. Not a single one of them to date have given me reasons why I should vote FOR their guy. All I get is, “Vote GOP, we’re not as bad as the other guy.” “He may be a scoundrel, but at least he’s OUR scoundrel” “Oh, so you really like Obama, then?”...
They truly must believe that since they can’t convince people of the rightness of their position (which not one of them has tried), they must resort to coercing, bullying, insulting and intimidating people into voting their way. Voter intimidation is for the Black Panthers, not Free Republic.
I agree with you 100%.
Then someone will argue “Yes, but Romney won in the primaries/etc”. Someone on FR wrote of some kinds of dirty tricks at a state Repub meeting with Romney supporters basically kicking out anyone else. Can’t remember who it was.
AFAIC the elite establishment dee cee insider GOPers are WORSE than Dems, because we know that Dems are the enemy. The GOPers are traitors, and they are worse than avowed enemies.
