A Pledge Never to Vote for Romney: Send a Message to the GOP

Vanity | September 12, 2011 | Xzins

Romney is Obama-Lite. Take the simple pledge:

I will not vote for Romney for any reason.

[GlockThe Vote]

Romney is not my first choice by far - but if its him or Obama - there is no choice but to go to Romney.

[GlockThe Vote]

Obama, Bill Ayeres, sotomayer, Kagan, Van jones, Rev. Wright, all thank you for your help in re-electing Obama.

[GlockThe Vote]

I would vote for the Son of Sam over Obama.

[Antoninus]

Heck, be all you can be then...pull the lever for Obama since it won’t matter as you say.

That false logic hasn't worked on me for many years. If I have a choice between socialist and more socialist, I'll vote third party. I'm not locked in to voting for a Republican just because the Democrat might be (slightly) worse. If that leads to a Democrat victory, it's not my fault. It's the fault of people like you who continue to settle for "slightly less socialist."

[Antoninus]

Which actually serves to give me confidence that as President he would appoint Conservative judges. It's just political reality. In MA he couldn't afford to tick off Democrats. As President he wouldn't be able to afford ticking off Conservatives.

He served one term in MA. He could have ticked off the Dems to his heart's content. He didn't because ideologically, he's one of them.

[Antoninus]

the problem with the tea party going rogue is that it takes years to get a party on the ballot in a state.

Indeed. But there's enough Tea Partiers that they could simply latch on to one of the traditional also-ran third parties and make it a force in no time flat.

Like your previous example of the Constitution Party, come to think of it...

[Coleus]

If it comes down to Romney being the nominee, I’ll sit home thanks.
I’m done voting for next best. >>>

I feel the same but I won’t sit home, I’ll write in a candidate for president and vote for my US Senate candidate.

[Tax-chick]

Let us say ... I need a drink!

[F1reEng1neRed]

Turning yourself into everything you claim to despise right before your own eyes.

If you can’t make a valid argument without twisting and putting words in others mouths, than you can get, oh mighty veteran, KING of trolls, bent.

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly right.

[wagglebee]

Turning yourself into everything you claim to despise right before your own eyes.

I have no idea what you are talking about, then again I don't really care what trolls have to say.

If you can’t make a valid argument without twisting and putting words in others mouths,

I haven't put any words in your mouth.

YOU are pushing conservatives to vote for Romney.

The only difference between Romney and Zero is that Romney was more successful at pushing the leftist agenda than Zero has been.

YOU are a troll, we have been through this with the Rooty Rooters and the Romneybots. You continuously claim that we MUST vote for the leftist with an "R" after their name. NO MORE! Conservatives have fallen for your lies one time too many.

If Romney is the hill where the GOP decides to take its last stand then they can go down in flame for all I care.

I will vote for a CONSERVATIVE for POTUS next year; if that person happens to be the GOP nominee fine, but only if the GOP nominates a conservative.

[F1reEng1neRed]

Mr. not so quick...

Let’s take it slow...

In this hypothetical, your ONLY choices are

1. Mittens

2. Zero

You voting for someone other than #1, helps re-elect #2.

Got it??

So your cute liner “It’s the fault of people like you who continue to settle for “slightly less socialist.” is a pile of BS, because that would imply I’ve voting for him in the Primary, which I’m most certainly NOT. You are LYING about myself and others and we will not sit back and watch Obama be given another 4 years while you’re the one who signaled surrender.

Besides having a logic problem, you sir appear to have an integrity problem now as well.

[DoughtyOne]

Once again, the promise of open debate is revealed to have failed to protect us from the likes of Romney and Perry.

I wonder quite often these days why people come here to act as if they are Conservative, only to back the biggest RINO every general election. Are they plants. Are they just plain stupid. Are they crazy?

I’d rather have 5% of the people we have here, if it would help stop this backing of RINOs that will surely destroy us as much as the Barack Obamas will.

A beacon to the world instead has a message that is so befuddling, that it’s not even worthy to tell your friends to come here to be enlightened.

We could be a 50,000 lumens beacon, and we’re a small birthday candle on the verge of being blown out.

[metmom]

I will not vote for Romney for any reason.

Voting third party is better than staying home.

It’s well past time to get someone besides a Republican or Democrat in.

[F1reEng1neRed]

“YOU are pushing conservatives to vote for Romney.”

Then by your OWN tortured logic, kind sir, YOU are pushing OBAMA.

“I will vote for a CONSERVATIVE for POTUS next year.”

No you won’t. You’ll vote for an irrelevant 3rd party and Obama thanks you for your vote. You’ll then spend the next 4 years bitching about and wondering why sh@* is so bad.

Bet you voted for Perot too.

[Peet]

I am VERY disappointed in my fellow FReepers.

Now I’ll grant my search was primitive, but I searched every page of this thread (256 posts the the time) and neither the letters “AWB” nor the word “assault” were found.

I’ll be the first to say:

I will *NOT* vot for a canidate who has signed a permanent (so called) “assault weapons” ban.

Not now. Not ever.

FUMR, you piece of waste that squeezed out of a bodily orafice!

[wagglebee]

Then by your OWN tortured logic, kind sir, YOU are pushing OBAMA.

Listen you lying piece of crap troll, I have not suggested that anyone vote for Zero. YOU and your RINO ilk ARE suggesting that people vote for Romney.

No you won’t. You’ll vote for an irrelevant 3rd party and Obama thanks you for your vote. You’ll then spend the next 4 years bitching about and wondering why sh@* is so bad.

Hey troll, the GOP started as an "irrelevant third party," and if they nominate Romney they will become an immediate major party.

The GOP was started to support SOCIAL CONSERVATISM and that is something that you and the other RINOs seem to hate.

Tell me, to the best of your trollish ability, why conservatives should overlook the following:

1. Romney's allowing sodomites to "marry" each other.

2. Romney's creation of the prototype for Obamacare.

3. Romney's campaign for the senate based on the idea that he was more liberal than Kennedy.

4. Romney's support of gun grabbing.

5. Romney's ongoing support for abortion and $50.00 abortions.

[Antoninus]

So your cute liner “It’s the fault of people like you who continue to settle for “slightly less socialist.” is a pile of BS, because that would imply I’ve voting for him in the Primary, which I’m most certainly NOT.

GOOD! Neither am I.

The difference between you and I is that you are willing to accept Romney as the nominee if the party establishment manages to ram him through somehow. I am not. He is part of the problem as is the GOP establishment that is attempting to foist him on us. The should not be rewarded.

Taking over the GOP is our first order of business. We can't effectively fight the Obama socialists with our "friends" stabbing us in the back every five minutes.

[xzins]

Exactly....that’s what I’ve been saying about Palin and been getting shot at for bringing up.

She could latch onto an already established party that already has ballot access in the 50 states.
