The only way that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave wins another 4 years is if people like you would rather stay home or vote for a third party candidate, instead the nominee. I will vote for the nominee whoever it is. I will hold my nose if Ron Paul is the nominee, and it’s not the first time I have done so
” I will hold my nose if Ron Paul is the nominee....”
I could vote for the crazy man, but I WILL NEVER vote for Romney, period.
In ’96 I voted for Harry Browne because I saw very little difference between Clinton and Dole. Then again I also knew that when I voted for Browne it was merely a protest vote because Dole had a snowballs chance in Hell in August of even coming close to winning and Ross Perot (yea Third Party!) had pretty much already screwed that pooch good and hard anyway.
In two weeks, I’ll vote Gingrich in the PA primary but I have no illusions that he has any chance of winning, nor will I donate any money to him, even if I had any to donate. That’s not giving up; that’s just being realistic.
And being the very realistic and pragmatic sort of gal that I am, come November, I’ll pull the lever for Romney. I’ll hold my nose as I’ve often done before (and my nose was rather bruised and sore after voting GWB the 2nd time BTW) but that’s just is what it is. And all sorts of navel gazing about some third party savior or some miracle dark horse candidate and praying to a higher power will not change it.
I will vote for what I think and hope is the better alternative to Obama. And staying home and sitting it out is simply not an option – too much is at stake. I will also vote for most conservative in my local and congressional races. And I will hold my senator and congress critter accountable for keeping Romney in check, or (shudders) Obama if he is re-elected.
I tend to think that if Romney is elected, his main priority will be turning the economy around. And I think he has a pretty good understanding of how business works and how money is made and how that benefits everyone, even the “poor” secretaries. / s
If Romney can turn the economy around and not grow government and regulation by doing so, I think that bodes well for conservative Republicans. If he can do this, much like Regan did; get people back to work, make US business profitable again; we could see a tidal change that would be a good thing, even if we don’t like Romney in every way. IMO, we need to boot the known Communist from the Oval Office and hold the RINO’s feet to the fire and bring him and force him to the right of center and hold him accountable.
Throwing up our hands and sitting the election out on principal or writing in who we would have liked to have seen nominated, even among those who didn’t even run, simply guarantees another four years of Obama. If anyone thinks the first four years of Obama was bad, think what a lame duck Obama will do and just how bad that could and probably will be.
