Im a Florida tea-partier, and will not vote for romney in the general election, if he is the nominee. I will vote, but “will throw my vote away”, and write in someone (probably Palin).
Then the day after the election, will officially change my voter registration from republican.
To sum it up: if romney is the nominee, I leave the republican party.
Well I will be voting 3rd party if Romney wins the nomination.
I am having trouble with this, too. In 08, I was a Romney supporter, but not anymore.
I am worried that with Mittens, we are libel to loose the house. He is the conservative vote killer... is that really what the establishment wanted?
I think they underestimate the TEA party and conservatives in general. They shouldn’t worry about the fickle moderates. Republicans can not win without the conservative base.
I am worried because I am not inspired to vote for Romney.
I’ll ex-pat to the Philippines
EXCELLENT observations Rebecca. The establishment RINO GOP has seen the Tea Party as a threat. What they don't realize is that it was their ticket to regaining the leadership of the nation. With Romney, they are screwing the Tea Party and the result will be the demise of their Party. They have significantly and probably permanently divided their base.
I too want a third party NOW. The GOP can stick it!
How is Mitt any different than Obama? The biggest issue with Obama is Obamacare and getting it repealed. Obamacare was modeled after Romneycare. It doesn’t take much thought to understand that Mitt will do NOTHING to repeal Obamacare, and even if he did, he would want to replace with with something equally abomidable.
The next big issue is appointment of supreme court judges. Do you really think Mitt is going to appoint more conservative judges than Obama?
“To sum it up: if romney is the nominee, I leave the republican party.”
To paraphrase, If Romney is the nominee the republican party left me!
You need to re-read, “How to win friends and influence people.”
Are you worried that Mitt will suppress the conservative base? I can say ABO all day long, but I really wanted something more than Mitt.
Maybe, if I say ABO another times, I will be able to energetically go out and encourage others to vote for Romney.... no, I don’t see it. I will just tell people ABO.
It’s the end of America regardless. All a vote between Romney and Obama will decide is who gets blamed.
There’s but one solution, and I don’t think conservatives have the guts to carry it out.
She’s a Tea party member? Okey dokey...
If its Romney, I will stay home.
For the third time here at FR: May God strike me dead before I ever cast a vote for Mitt Romney.
It’s never gonna happen.
I will NOT reward the scumbag GOP establishment elite and their accidental brothers-in-arms, the Democrat newsrooms, with my vote. Never.
You summed it up quite nicely..I’m from Georgia and that is what I’m going to do also. I will NOT vote for Romney!
I will vote for whomever we nominate to take out 0bama - none of this ‘08 ‘Barry won’t be so bad’ crap from these ‘conservatives’ again.
“Then enjoy Obama’s second term and the end of America. Selfish, petulant twit.”
A Romney term will be Obama’s second term, with much the same result. A Romney victory would be meaningless.
Somehow, she is a retired detective AND a young, stay-at-home mom. Right..
Yes, call us selfish petulant twits for not sucking up to the chosen one. That’s a great way to win us over.
In fact of matter, we’ve thought this out, and we would rather have Obama drive the country into the ground, as he is well capable, then have Mitt Romney drive the country into the ground and take the GOP with it.
If Mitt’s in, I’m out. Probably voting constitution or libertarian party.
