I am not voting for Romney either. If worst come to worst - we have a chance at getting a real conservative in there in four years rather than waiting for eight years if Romney gets in there.
It’s not to late - nominate a conservative and we won’t have to re-elect Obama.

......Mitt Romney, ... has proven to be a pasty, grey pile of formless mush. Well, that's fine, but what do you really think? .... LOL
To: xzins
That’s not “the free market system”. It’s the insider “manipulated market system”. It's the kind of thing Jay Gould used to do ... and Ken Lay .... and both were reviled by the real marketarians of their respective generations.

2)The Mormon thing. Bias against Mormons exists.
Bias against the Mormon church. Plenty of Mormons are good folks, but the Mormon church...

"they would vote for Romney to save our country from another four years of Obama.
You have to know that a write in is just another vote for Obama"
You have to know that a vote for Romney is exactly what
"Establishment Republicans" are counting on.
"Establishment Republicans" are the enemy!!!
"Establishment Republicans" ENABLE
Democrats Communists to CONTINUE their march towards
Fabian Socialism.
I refer you back to
post #6 so you can re-read
A Fabian Socialist Dream Come True,
The gradual revolution of the Fabian Socialists is quickly becoming a reality in America.
Let me remind you:
"You Americans are so gullible. No, you wont accept Communism outright.
But we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism
until you finally wake up and realize you already have communism.
We wont have to fight you; well so weaken your economy
that you will fall like over ripe fruit into our hands. "
Nikita Kruschev, Former Soviet Premier
How much longer will you allow these
"Establishment Republicans" that suck our life blood out of "Liberty" to
USE AND ABUSE YOU ?
When will you wake up and smell the coffee, and show these stinking
"Establishment Republicans" that "WE MEAN WHAT WE SAY" ?
Like I've
posted so many times before:
A Tea Partier who refrains from voting for a Republican candidate who shares few if any of his beliefs
can no more be accused of holding out for an ideal candidate
than can someone who refuses to marry a person with whom he has little to anything in common
be accused of holding out for an ideal spouse.
In other words, the object of the argument against purism is the most glaring of straw men:I will not vote for a thoroughly flawed candidate is one thing;
I will only vote for a perfect candidate is something else entirely.
As for the second objection against the Tea Partiers rejection of those Republican candidates who eschew his values and convictions,
it can be dispensed with just as effortlessly as the first.
Every election seasonand at no time more so than this past seasonRepublicans pledge to reform Washington, trim down the federal government, and so forth.
Once, however, they get elected and they conduct themselves with none of the confidence and enthusiasm with which they expressed themselves on the campaign trail,
those who placed them in office are treated to one lecture after the other on the need for compromise and patience.
Well, when the Tea Partiers impatience with establishment Republican candidates intimates a Democratic victory,
he can use this same line of reasoning against his Republican critics.
My dislike for the Democratic Party is second to none, he can insist.
But in order to advance in the long run my conservative or Constitutionalist values, it may be necessary to compromise some in the short term.
For example,
as Glenn Beck once correctly noted in an interview with Katie Couric,
had John McCain been elected in 2008, it is not at all improbable that, in the final analysis,
the country would have been worse off than it is under a President Obama.
McCain would have furthered the countrys leftward drift,
but because this movement would have been slower,
and because McCain is a Republican, it is not likely that the apparent awakening that occurred under Obama would have occurred under McCain.
It may be worth it, the Tea Partier can tell Republicans, for the GOP to lose some elections if it means that conservativesand the countrywill ultimately win.
If he didnt know it before, the Tea Partier now knows that accepting short-term loss in exchange for long-term gain is the essence of compromise, the essence of politics.
Ironically, he can thank the Republican for impressing this so indelibly upon him.
No, I will NOT vote for Romney!!!/font

This is a baffling argument because many people just seem to assume it's true, despite the plethora of evidence to the contrary.HMMmmm...
Sounds just like MORMONism.

Just imagine......McConnell, Boehner and Romney as the leadership of the Party. Somehow, I’m not instilled with the thought that this team could stop the “runaway train” Obama has started.

I think being boring could actually be a plus for him electorally speaking. Boring seems safe and steady compared to President O-Hype and other personality driven candidates.
