I worte a bit too fast on the title. I meant to write destined and in the post I meant to write conservatives but misspelled. Thanks for everything.
Don’t give them any $$$.
If I really cared about who our president is in 2013 I’d be really concerned. But I don’t so I’m not.
The Titanic hit the iceberg. The water is up to C deck, and I really don’t care who the captain is any more. All I care about is finding more nails so I can build my family a life raft out of deck chairs.
We’re on our own, no matter who wins.
I disagree with this article in the sense that the GOP and the American people know that Obama has to go. Then change Congress so that control will be brought back to the people of this country. Again, control Congress and the states and you will control the President. But for not, go with Romney, get Obama out and take the next four years to change things. We can’t wait until an election to start changing things. If a third party is needed it has to start now. Either that or change the Republican party to what we want it to be.
Please remember that conservatives must vote this November, no matter what we think of the liberal from Massachusetts. We don’t have to vote for Romney, particularly in states that Obama is guaranteed to carry, but we have to vote. Whether we end up with a big government liberal like Obama in our White House or with a big government liberal like Romney in our White House, we need as conservative a Congress as possible to restrain the excesses of the administration. Vote!
Sure looks like time for a third party. But respected conservative leaders would have to get on board early for this to happen - maybe in time for 2016?
I think W was probably the last American President. I’m not sure what Obama is, but by 2016 he will be Chavez or Castro if he wins re-election.
It’s quite obvious at this point that the GOP is decadent and worthless. Look at their presumptive nominee. The only thing holding it together is a fear of Barack Obama, and let’s face it, that’s only going to be a motivating factor for the Republican partisans. For a lot of folks who aren’t beholden to the GOP, fear of Obama alone is not going be enough to motivate them. You have to give people a reason to vote FOR you, not just use wearisome scare tactics. Romney doesn’t give anybody a reason to vote FOR him. He drives off conservatives because he’s a progressive. And he doesn’t attract other progressives because they already have their guy sitting in the White House. When you get right down to it, the large bulk of Romney’s 44% that he’ll get on election day is going to be made up of that third of the country that formally identifies with the Republican Party, and who therefore thinks that they “have” to vote for him, no matter what.
Is your country not worth one last Hail Mary?
Well, I didn’t vote for the rino mcain, didn’t vote fot the rino dole, wished I had not voted for the rino elder bush. Problem is the establishment rino gop is to stupid to learn. But at least I sleep well...

I hope we can get a good congress that will hold Romney’s feet or Obama’s if he wins re-election.
The 2010 election gave us a start, but the GOP has been disappointing. They even turn their back on the HOuse contract pledge that they had trotted out after they wonm the elections in the House. And most people said it didn’t go far enough.
The whole situation is the speed with which we can get good people inc ongress. It is taking longer than planned because in the senate the tea party failed in various races in 2010.
I do hope we can keep the house and get a conservative senate. The congress is all that is left for us to aim for.
No matter what happens I see a fight, so the speak, brewing. The GOP ios not easily going to do what conservatievs wnat they have proved.
They seem to love Jeb Bushes, Mitt Romney’s, John Mccain’s and Lisa Murkowski’s. So it is not easy to steer them in the right direction.
Socialists are fighting with 20 year to 100 year vision. Conservatives feel defeated then elated every 2 years. We have got to stop this seesaw and continue the Tea Party movement XXXX 100. We are the majority. My only concern with POTUS is the nomination of judges. BUT that can be controlled in the house and senate.
Like your attitude RC2.

Amen, Mozilla. Jim, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this wonderful website. I hope every other FReeper has joined me in contributing to the FReepathon.
Actually both parties may implode.
I am seeing all kinds of fault lines and fissures opening up on the Democrat side (Enviros vs. Unions, Blacks vs. Hispanics, DC Dems vs. State/Local Dems on Fracking, etc.)
Maybe the third time will be a charmer for the GOP IF they loose this year...let’s hope if they lose this one they won’t have another chance as a pary. Time for this Grand Ole Party to end. With Pappa Bush, Dole & McCain’s losses if Romney loses, the money should just stop flowing to them.
Last go around I gagged and voted for McCain only because of Palin who was the brightest light in that election. Dole got another gag wimpy vote from me-pathetic candidate the GOP gave us. Now, Romney. I’ll vote for him not because I am scared but because I don’t like what Obama is doing one bit. So in the meantime, in the TX primary I’ll vote or write in Newt and in Nov. I’ll puke before and after voting for Mitt. No money from my pocket in this cycle if he is the nominee.
I don’t see why any rational person would find it difficult to choose between ANY non-Obama candidate and the dog-eater.
We know what the dog-eater HAS done in his first term. And, thanks to his bungled handling of an “open mic”, we know what the dog-eater WANTS TO DO, if America’s most incompetent President EVER is re-elected.
So please don’t believe every poll-tested lie and every cleverly shaded half-truth deployed by the White House, as it tries to sow dissention among us patriots!
And please remember that “cutting off your nose to spite your face” is a form of madness...
