Voting for people who aren't running is beyond stupid.

Please consider not leaving it blank. It is better to put any name in the field than to leave it blank where the potential exists for anyone to put in their choice for you!
Christie's first decision was to select a pro-choice running mate as Lt Gov. She would take over if he leaves.
Then you will re-elect OBamby—
I’m interested in your comments on this thread.
My first impulse is that this is the most important point I have read while lurking on this thread. But on second thought -
Let’s say (and pray) that Romney wins in November. The only way a primary challenger has a chance in 2016 is if President Romney crashes and burns on an Obama-itic scale. I doubt that will happen. Maybe the focus for the next four years should be on increasing the conservative presence is the House and Senate. Just because, for one thing and also to encourage Pres. Romney to steer to the right whenever he is inclined to waver.
That is BULL EXCREMENT. By all means, crawl over broke glass to vote straight conservative downticket.
But voting for Obama is as nuts as voting for Romney. There's another alternative. I remember what happened to Clinton when 57% of the vote count was against him, and he won on a 43% plurality. He got his ASS KICKED in the mid-terms. I am voting against liberalism in the General because it is the best way to make my vote, an oar in the water, steer the course such that whichever socialist wins, Obama or Romney, wins on as piss-poor a plurality as possible, with a vote count where well over 57% of votes cast, were cast in opposition. It would be a blow to the political gut, power-wise, for whichever liberal statist gets the White House.
A vote FOR Obama is an exceedingly stupid vote.

Yeah, I know. I saw that thread and it was vile. Notice though that it was pretty much just the same handful of people that have spewed that sort of venom. It really isn't that many members involved, it's just that they felt emboldened because the majority who plan on voting for the Republican nominee (which will be Romney) didn't feel they could fight back without risk of being banned. And really, I'm pretty sure it was just one seriously deranged poster who was responsible for the really incredibly vulgar stuff directed at Bachmann. With the majority now free to speak their minds and support the Republican nominee, I think you'll find that fringe opinion will have a much harder time of dominating the forums.
Good to read this. It’s what I’ve posted on here thru the Operation Chaos primary season. I didn’t see any of the candidates as true Tea Party conservatives. I want to see someone emerge for the next presidential cycle who has been elected because of Tea Party backing and has a record to run on. So the best I was hoping for was getting more TP candidates elected to state and local offices. If Romney wins, those are the people of his own party that he will have to answer to. The fewer GOP-e, the better. Bottom line—NO OBAMA!
It is and it's firm...and yes divide and conquer has and will work as well...we've seen it here. It's was the plan and we should have seen it when they threw out there so many candidates running and further saying the more the merrier....it worked against us. The gop played every one of them....and created confusion for the voter.
So here we are. What a mess!
He never said anything like that. The owner has stated that FR will not be used to campaign for Romney. I think that's very clearcut.
As to the other, posting on an anti-freeper site and posting here is normally called trolling. No one wants to see you get caught up in something nasty.
Not “selling” anything just stating facts! You can face them or not.
Not just a retread, but a dishonest one as well. You know darn well what you were implying with that post.
makes no difference who occupies the White House, it is still stock up time. The only difference it makes is if there is ammo to stock up on. We have a better chance of that with Romney.
I think your “politics of personal destruction” post kinda speaks for itself — or rather, smells. It has the thick scent of Romney.
My dear Jim, this decision of yours to make sure your loyal FReepers are not fractionated will help FR’s economy! I could tell people were rethinking their donations because you didn’t approve of them voting for Romney to stop the communist enemy Obama.
This is a wise decision and I personally feel more welcome here now.
I agree with everything you say about ROmney and the GOPe.
We need to start NOW to develop more than grass roots of a true Constitutional Conservative Tea Party (I don’t care what the name is, but it has to be planked on the principles which unite conservatives).
You have made my day with this post. You understand how we feel. Some of us will be voting Romney just to stop this takeover by enemies of our nation. It’s OK if you can’t stomach it.
Also, to everyone, we did not FAIL with the Tea Party. Real change, that you CAN ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN, takes time. What we want to change is to have a party which runs NOMINEES WE CAN BELIEVE IN. LOL. What the Tea Party did was establish that there is a large number of Americans who do not want Washington statists. The statists just wish to protect their own cushy taxpayer money, lobbying positions, country clubs, and seats on tv poli-chat shows. We want to return to the freedom our Constitution promised.
We had hoped our grassroots movement would have been sufficient to give us good strong conservative candidates that would have left the traditional RINOs in the dust.
It was a very good start, but we had to fight the statist media, especially Faux News, who had our parents in their easy chairs completely fooled that the network was somehow conservative, and this phony network bamboozled enough voters to allow GOPe to win with their Democrat with an R by his name.
We couldn’t get far enough that fast. We have a few miles to go before we sleep. But we need to PUSH NOW for the new party that will allow us to dump the GOP. For they will forever take our votes for granted, knowing we can’t go the other way. It is time for a third party that will knock the GOPe to its knobby knees. We can’t start soon enough for 2016.
I disagree. Being disruptive or spreading FUD is trolling. Posting on a wide variety of discussion sites is normal.
