I loathed voting for Romney a couple of days ago. I’m Sick and tired of voting for RINOs.

[circlecity]

You mean to tell me that Romney is ~gasp~ a politician? Whodathunkit?

[SampleMan]

Is there an issue where Obama is to the right of Romney?

I didn’t think so.

[Logical me]

What a bunch of ignorant crap. Get a life. If Romney is to win he must include all Americans. Saving America, how does that get you?

[TonyInOhio]

Virgil Goode for president and all R's down ballot?

You're complaining about Romney changing his views while voting for a former Democrat office holder? Yeah, that makes sense.

If you want to re-elect Obama, go ahead and try; The rest of us will save America from the scourge of Obama.

[chuckee]

Obama says etch a sketch too. You agree with Obama. Sorry we do not live in a perfect world.I will take Etch a sketch over the seventh degree of hell any day. Unless you have some other realistic alternative and do not tell me about some third party fantasy candidate.A third party protest vote is meaningless and will teach no one a lesson.

Just more examples of our devolution to the point we only have a choice between a flip-flopping Democrat Socialist or an anti-American Marxist to helm the country.

We’ve arrived at that place of societal ruin, where we see trading one evil king for our own choice of king, as justified and necessary. All of it resting upon a vain hope of having influence on the king of preference and under the reiteration that our survival depends on the crowning of the lesser over the overt.

Nations never recover what they were after arriving at this place in history.

[WOSG]

Did you come up with this while sharing a few bong hits with Axelrod or on your own?

It’s a great imitation of concern-trollism BS, so I commend your satirical skills, but not your common sense if you actually believe it.

[chiller]

You’re mistaken to believe the Massachusetts Mitt is the real one
Given the circumstances Romney will go down as one of the best ever.

He’s on a mission to fix this and will

But if Romney doesn't win... a clear distinction between the Tea Party in the House and Senate with Obama's policies - would that be a bad thing?

I am unwilling to do anything now but assume a Romney victory, because I don’t have confidence that we will have another meaningful election after an Obama reelection. If Romney doesn’t win and have a Republican Senate the country likely will not recover in my lifetime.

Assuming a Romney win and a Republican Senate, we must in addition to the sine qua non of aborting the “Affordable” (yeah, right) “Care” amounting only to band aids and palliatives - Act, address the real enemy of constitutional democracy. The enemy of the Tea Party, in case you hadn’t noticed, is the "credulity,” as Adam Smith would put it, of the public for “objective” (that is, homogeneous, self-interested, and irresponsible) journalism. Everything else is just a symptom. The way to address journalism is to make a frontal attack on the abuse of the English language. Thomas Paine told us in Common Sense that “Society” and “government” are two entirely different things. Society is good, but government is a necessary evil. So at least in the House of Representatives, it should be out of order to use the term “society” unless the intended meaning is distinct from government.

A lot of people who vote do not inform themselves in any other way than to watch THE NEWS on TV. Very well, that is their choice - but at least during election campaign season, public interest TV must be mandated. THE NEWS as we know it is designed to interest the public and not for the public interest, which is an entirely different thing. Instead of allowing FCC licensees to promote the naked self interest of journalism - which is in fact to promote criticism over performance, not so coincidentally the motivation of the Democratic Party - FCC licensees should be directed to televise true debates between Democrat and Republican candidates for all elected offices. The “Candy Crawley Moderation Rule” should be that the debates are conducted with only a chess timer for a moderator. And instead of having restrictions against notes, debaters will be expected to make Power Point presentations. The objective of the debate must be to maximize public knowledge of the facts and logic of public issues, rather than providing “gaffes” for journalists’ enjoyment. FCC licensees should be required to devote enough time to those debates - for POTUS, for senator, for representative, and for Governor - that the money in politics would be driven into the primary elections, where we have the real problem of reducing the issues down to binary choices for election day.

I have a strong feeling that conservatives are going to have to fight a lot with the GOP while Romney is president. Congress can not afford to be a rubber stamp to any more “bi-partisan” screw-ups.

There is a massive amount to clean up if Obama gets out.

[MasterGunner01]

Most Americans with an I.Q. above room temperature and paying attention understand this election is about firing Dear Leader Obama or the United States as previously known is doomed.

At least he hasn’t become Libertarian and promise Pot in Every Chicken.

"Romney will without reservation repeal OdumbaCare! Now he likes the idea of keeping the policy of covering pre-existing conditions, and likes the idea of extending to age 26 staying on the parent(s) health insurance. Who knows what else and how much he will pivot on and decide to keep."

(From Barnhard.biz)
"1. First, a FANTASTIC piece from Market-Ticker.org wherein KD speaks the truth in no uncertain terms about insurance and this total, complete bee-ess about forcing insurance companies to sell policies to people with pre-existing conditions. This is just sublime:

If you have a "pre-existing" condition then you're not buying insurance.

Remember what insurance actually is: A small payment made to someone in order to obtain pooled risk against an unlikely but catastrophic event that one either cannot or chooses not to reserve against on one's own.

By its very nature insurance is a negative-sum game. That is, if you take all the bad outcomes that happen across the insured population and sum their costs, the cost of the insurance purchased by that population must exceed the sum of the costs. It cannot be otherwise or the insurance company will cease to exist as it will make continual losses and eventually run out of capital.

As such if the catastrophic event already happened you're not negotiating for "insurance"; you are now trying to lay off the cost of mitigating the damage that has already occurred on someone else ex-post-facto.

The common word for that attempted act is theft."

Voting for personal benefit from the government (from the taxpayers). If this attitude is that of most U.S. citizens, the U.S.A. is gone.

[Little Ray]

Nope. He’s just not Obama. That’s all.
And hopefully his “turn around” work at Bain has prepared fro the big steaming pile he is inheriting from Obama.
