The convention changes nothing.

Fair enough. Wondering why everyone was trying so hard to win the nomination if it doesn't mean anything.

I’ll vote for the Democrat Romney before I’d vote for the communist Obama any day. And as one of the last voters in Florida in 2000, one vote can make a difference.

Do I want Romney? No.
Did I vote for him in the primary? No.
Does anyone else (Paul, Gingrich) have any chance at all remaining? No.
Am I happy about that? No.
Is there a snowball’s chance that a convention fight will produce a different outcome? No.

Therefore, I have two options.
1) Vote for they guy who’s speeding toward the cliff at 95 MPH instead of 100 MPH and hope I can do something with those extra few minutes of life

or

2) Stay at home wrapped in righteous indignation and help Mr. 100 MPH toward the cliff get reelected. After his accidental open-mike comment, “This is my last election,” said Obama. “After my election I have more flexibility.”, he scares me a lot more than the other one.

I don’t like it, but it is what it is.

I have no idea what you were raving about, but it sounded like you want me to vote for a back-stabbing, abortion supporting, gay marriage mandating, tax raising, job killing, anti-gun, Socialist.
 
 

Well, that's OK if they have an (R) instead of a (D) after there name, right?
 
ABO only goes so far when the ABO you are going to hold your nose and vote for is no better than Obama.

If Romney is the nominee On Election Day, I will write in the name of the Tina Fey Look-a-like from Alaska as my president choice.

Chance of being elected President in 2012: Obama -y, Romney -y, Newt -n, Paul -n.

So, between the two that have a chance of being elected president in 2012, who will you vote for? The Democrat Socialist, or the Republican Socialist?

Jim, I’ll write in Newt. Can’t vote Ron Paul because he’s just to far out on foreign policy. I think he’d sell out Israel faster than Obama will.

Rick Santorum is suspended, not dead. He will still appear on some ballots, and until he releases his delegates, they are still committed to him.

I have an excellent sense of humor. You don’t.

Are you calling me a “rightie lunatic” because I said you are nuts? I don’t get it.

Romney was my last choice, but he's still better than a second term of Obama.

How is that possible, if the data on the chart above is true?

(EXCERPT)

Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Newt’s experiences as the son of a career soldier convinced him at an early age to dedicate his life to his country and to the protection of freedom. Realizing the importance of understanding the past in order to protect the future, he immersed himself in the study of history, receiving his Bachelor’s degree from Emory University and Master’s and Doctorate in Modern European History from Tulane University. Before his election to Congress in 1978, Newt taught History and Environmental Studies at West Georgia College for eight years. He represented Georgia in Congress for twenty years, including four years as Speaker of the House.

Newt served on the Defense Policy Board under President George W. Bush, which provided strategic counsel to the Pentagon and Secretary of Defense on how to better address threats facing the United States. He is also the longest-serving teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for Major Generals at Air University and taught officers from all five services as an honorary Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the National Defense University. In 1999, Gingrich was appointed to the United States Commission on National Security/21st Century, the Hart/Rudman Commission to examine our national security challenges as far out as 2025. The Commission’s report is the most profound rethinking of defense strategy since 1947.
