“Way to tell ‘em! Then on the morning of November 7th, when Barack Obama has been reelected President for a second term, we all can high-five each other and say we stopped that establishment RINO! Makes ZERO sense.”

Zero sense?

Your premise is all wrong. If we vote for Romney, just like we did for Dole and McCain, that Romney will win. Dole didn't win. McCain didn't win. Why do you think that third time is the charm? Deja vu all over again.

If Conservative voters, all voters for that matter, aren't excited about their candidate, they won't go out of their way to work for, donate to, or vote for that candidate.

FR can't do anything about that. Apathy exists towards Romney, probably even more so than it did for McCain.

Sorry, McCain did not give most a real reason to despise him. For too many Obama's policies have. We are still 7 months way from the election. Romney got to this point because of law of interest in the Republican base.

There is much that can be said or can happen from now... Rushing it to this point is why the party has been able to get past the base and select Romney as our anointed contender... but there is still a large body of the electorate who want more.

“Dole didn’t win. McCain didn’t win.”

No two, or three, elections are entirely the same.

Dole ran against Clinton, who was very popular although not with “us”. The economy was going gang-busters and remember Clinton ran on “it’s the economy, stupid” and so had kept that promise to improve the economy. Or at least that was how it appeared at the time. Plus the public had already slapped him down by giving Gingrich and Co. back control of the house during the midterms and Clinton was “triangulating” with them. Plus Bill Clinton never acted like he hated America or Americans.

As to McCain, he was awful and had gone out of his way many times to be a “maverick” by which he seemed to mean someone beloved by the NY Times. He COULD have been a good candidate, but he kept chasing that NY Times love, screwing over Sarah Palin in the process. He probably had the WORST campaign staff EVER, it seems to have been filled with two-faced, back-stabbing self-dealers.

Add to that the media frenzy over the “First Black President” (tm) and McCain never stood a chance.

So, what I’m saying is in the first case the incumbent (Clinton) was in a strong position for re-election and in the second the big O just out-politicked McCain mostly due to the failings of McCain and the cravenness of the media.

I get the arguments that Romney is 1. just as bad as Obama, 2. almost as bad as Obama, 3. worse than Obama, 4. neither better or worse than Obama but the country is going to collapse so let a Dem be at the helm when it does.

But I gotta say this, again, Barack Obama hates this country, hates its people. He, himself may not be an anti-white racist but FOR SURE Eric Holder is. Obama is violating the constitution on a regular basis in big and small ways. He’s lost Egypt and squandered our hard won success in Iraq. And.....he’s a nincompoop.

I’m voting “R” in November regardless of the nominee.
