I am struggling with how to cast my vote if Romney gets the nomination, while praying Newt finds a way through Divine Providence to pull out a victory in a brokered convention.
As several have eloquently stated, it’s waaay past time for the GOP-E to reap the rewards of their actions in perpetually skewing the primary process toward the moderate squish candidate that is “next-in-line” (Dole, McCain, now Romney).
The nation is at a critical junction. Without drastic spending cuts, departmental eliminations (Energy, Education, EPA, NLRB, etc.), wholesale cleaning out of career lib/progressives in State, Defense, etc.), reigning in of the Federal Reserve and Federal Judiciary, our economy is toast, our new job production remains anemic, and our freedoms will continue to erode.
Newt is the ONLY candidate I see willing to make “big” ideas like the above part of his policies, which he has reams of documentation on implementing at his web site.
Romney & Santorum will just take us off the cliff at a slower speed than the dems.
I seriously may go third party or write-in if Romney gets the Republican nod. His record as a conservative is simply abhorent, especially in the promotion of the homosexual agenda. His refusal to debate on conservatie issues/ideals/vision in the various primaries, instead opting to smear his opponents with lies and half-truths, simply should not be rewarded. If these tactics succeed, then there is truly no remaining discernable difference between the dem/progressive party and the GOP-E.
W. Bush set back the conservative cause a couple of decades simply because he refused to draw a bright line between conservative and lib/progressive policies, with the exception of FINALLY taking it to the terrorists, but then he mucked that up with his “nation-building” proclivities.
Obama has done more to energize the conservative, patriotic, constitutional base than any moderate candidates the GOP-E has proferred in the last 15 years.
Perhaps another 4 years of Obama is what is required to get the entire voting public energized and behind a true conservative, constitutional alternative.
God help us all if this is true, but I can’t see a moderate making enough of a difference in our national trajectory to justify holding my nose and voting for them. Especially as it will fuel the MSM/progressive/dem meme that the conservatives are the cause of the coming misery.
Let the dems/MSM/progressives and GOP-E own the coming financial disaster lock, stock, and barrel.
I am not a Romney fan, believe it or not. The past 2 weeks have shown me the handwriting on the wall.
I voted for Newt in our primary. I always vote my beliefs first and then have to fall in line with the nominee.
I truly wish we could all learn from this year and work harder than ever to support conservatives locally and let the cream rise to the top.
Please don’t vote for Obama by going 3rd party. That is his divide and conquer plan. He is really using all of Saul Alinsky’s rules for Radicals.
He pits poor against rich, worker against boss, black against white, women against men. Now children against parents in food choices. He is evil in so many ways.
He uses ridicule against anyone who stands up to him. Remember lipstick on a pig? We must do all we can to rid the WH of this vile man.
I pray that all voters will weigh the consequences of their vote and do what is best for the country. I really don’t think this country can survive another 4 years of Obama.
