What gives you the idea that I would want to vote for Romney? Did you miss my post in #21? All I did was tell camle if he doesn’t want to vote for president, that is his business, but he shouldn’t sit the election out

We have paid party hacks that are on FR today... already beating the drum of “get behind romney... beating obama is all that matters”.
Sorry... we cannot save America with mitt romney or obama. I am not certain that any of the candidates in the republican primary can save America... but newt or santorum at least offer hope. romney is an assured loss to obama and if he actually were to win the White House... he would be worse than obama on some issues... and boehner and mcconnell stand ready to pass every manner of big government republicanism. There will be no stopping it if they give the dims some table scraps. Kaslin you're the best... not part of the problem.

Newbie.
Yeah, I can see how my ongoing support for Santorum would lead you to the conclusion that I support Obama. It’s more like you are a Liberal if you are willing to vote for Romney. At least I am not abandoning Conservatism to do that.
if you want me to vote for you, gimme something to vote FOR. don’t campaign as “not as bad as the other guy” and expect entheusiasm. i can’t vote FOR romney, adn i won’t. if the party elite can’t get the message then they deserve to lose, and let the tea party go on their own. the republican party will pass into the night, and the people will have a true conservative to chose.
I will not vote for Romney either, and I did not tell you to vote for him. But to sit the election out and not vote at all is ridiculous and will assure that arrogant, lazy, lying pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is being reelected. Besides there is still a long way to go. Florida was only the 4th state that had an election in the primaries. Just because Romney has won 2 states does not guarantee him the nomination. So far he only has 84, or perhaps even less if it turns out that Florida can not be a take all state and that he has to share the delegates with Gingrich.
i wont’ subsidize my own destruction, adn if i’m going down, i’d rather it be at the hands of my enemy rather then he who calls himself my friend. the RNC thinks that they can take me for granted, that I’ll support whichever schlum they parede before me.
I won’t. and if the RNC took me, and all like me seriouslty, they’d look for another candidate. the fact that they think that they can make me vote THEIR way shows their arrogance.
But, yeah, if Mittens wins I'm voting for him. I used to say before 2008 that I'd stay home rather than vote for McCain, a declaration I had to eat. I'm not eating my words again. ABO. ABO.
I do not think that Romney will be in as good a position to show his contempt for conservatives that GW Bush did. He had our goodwill for his statist domestic agenda and MR won't have that goodwill. If he tries to go for a Medicare Drug Plan or No Child Left Behind people like me are going to be on him like a duck on a June bug.
Give me, give me, gimmee? This is so much childishness. Puerile, babyish demands. How is Kaslin in any position to give either you or me what we want? I wanted Sarah Palin. If I stay home and let Obama win, I don't get Sarah Palin.
Grownups have to work with what is--we don't get a corner to pout in.
I'm even seeing a GOP president without the support of his base, worrying constantly about a third party and a furious Tea Party. We stopped GW from turning over the US to Laura's Mexican housekeeper because Poppy's boy was so sentimental about the servants who brought him up and taught him Spanish. That's when the Tea Party got its real start, fighting off the Brit Humes and GWs and, sad to say, Tony Snows. It wasn't fighting Democrats.
We can do it again, and better, because we don't trust the Rinse Prebus and Bill Kristols...
I hear ya and I respect that. I just won’t. I mean, I’ll never vote for Obama, but I have been around so many years that I’ve seen where the enemy is in your camp, and difficult to Identify, it is MUCH tougher to get rid of them than if the enemy is outside and identifiable.
Romney will kill conservatism as we will be diluted beyond recognition. I’d rather rally to fight Obama than to sit back and wonder where it all went wrong with 4-8 years of the GOP’s Obama.
But, again, I certainly respect your opinion on the issue.
I think he might have thought twice before opening his silly mouth about "compassionate conservatism." I think if it has to be Romney, he's not going to find DC as receptive to soft socialism as W did.
I’m not sure what to do but I’m not helping the RNC anymore and told them that tonight too. The RNC and the DNC need to just go ahead and merge. I will work my tail off for a good Real conservative party.
I do know with 100% certainty Cultist Heretic Romney will NEVER get my vote!!!
is is more purils babish, etc. to be led by the hand by your party and told that you’ll vote for their choice no matter what, or to take a stand for what you beleive in.
you cannot simply force someone to vote, or whom to vote for. if the republicans cannot offer viable alternatives to the crap that is drowning us in debt, than they deserve to die out, to fade away.
you may think of us as sheep who will do whatever because you tell us to, but we aren’t.
and yes, GIMME!!! the party isn’t shy about sending me ‘gimme yer dough’ letters and solicitations. but until they respond to the nation’s calls for a conservative, they won’t get a dime. you cannot force me to contribute either.
romney can go to hell, and if he takes the republican party with him, then that’s thier choice, isn’t it?
if you think romney is any different from obama, than let him win adn you’ll see. he gave birth to obamacare, and if you htink that he’ll repeal it, then who has the brain of a child?
