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.
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
“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 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!
“To sum it up: if romney is the nominee, I leave the republican party.”
There will probably be a lot of people doing the same thing.
I am in a State with a late primary; so, if it goes the way it is going right now, I won’t have much of a selection. Most of the candidates will be long gone. But, I won’t vote for Romney.
I wonder who the Green Party is running this year...LOL
I am a tea partier. Went to Washington twice and used my family’s vacation money to finance my trips. If Mitt is the nominee I will vote Mitt and ride him HARD for 4 yrs! I see the bigger picture and will not throw the election to Obama. He is counting on us freaking out and stomping our feet. I think we have evolved as a force that even though we don’t get our man we can still force the Rhino winner to the right.
Our #1 objective is Remove Obama. I am equally as appalled by Romney’s campaign, and his complete disconnect this cycle with the conservative base, but we have to keep our eye on the ball. Four years of Obama mean disaster....likely 2-3 liberal justices, including at least one or two on our side....permanent Obamacare as it exists now....economic destruction.
I am with you...I am considering a different party the day after the election, but we as a nation cannot deal with four more years of Obama. I share many thoughts here that in the long term Romney is not good for our party and is far from the ideal candidate this year, but good lord, we can’t wait five more years to start facing our problems. By them, well over 50% will be zero liability voters and likely government dependents. We are nearing the 50% tipping point now.
We have to oust Obama, and we as a base have to do our work in these Senate and House races to weed out the insiders and get new blood in office. After the election, we have to keep the heat on and make the best of it. This is an awful situation, but not time to give up.
Do it the day he gets it - maybe they'll start to get it (doubtful, but we can dream).
YUUUUUUUP!
This is a comedy.
The brilliant political class of the GOP, are so brilliant.
They cannot see this ?
Arrogance with incompetence...GOPproud
