And it's so ironic that the Hair On Fire Crowd is so convinced that Romney is entitled to my vote that they consider my refusal to submit to their entitlement mentality as equivalent to voting "for" Obama. It's the same "logic" as regarding refusal to raise spending, as a "cut" in spending.
I do hope that before November, Republicans move past their fixation with voting "against" Obama and start giving serious thought to the consequences down the road of what they're on the brink of voting FOR.
Anyone planning to vote for either the Undocumented Communist, or the MandateHillary Romney, one wonders what they are even doing on this site.
Thank you. Romney is an abortion-enabler and a homosexual lover. I have no issue with those who decide they have to vote for him, but maligning those who can't and portraying Romney as conservative make me HAVE to speak up.
Bullseye!
It should also tell them something about Romney that the only arguments they can make in his favor, are rooted in Fear of Obama; when you remind them of the cold, hard fact that while a vote for Romney may be a vote "against" Obama, it is also a vote FOR making the Republican party hand-in-glove with all the statist agendas of the Democrats, you hear either *crickets* or more Obama hysteria; their heads are firmly planted in the sand as to what Romney IS and WOULD BRING.
If Romney wins, Obama would be soon forgotten and the ONLY thing that would matter would be what Republicans voted FOR: an anti-conservative Republican statist as the most powerful Republican in America. See my new tagline.
Look,you know how liberal Romney is. Did you expect conservatives would fall in line the way the GOP-s wants us to? Didn’t you think there would be some who just could not go so far as to vote for Willard? You can’t really be that shocked
Im not shocked. Just how separerated from reality people are. We have two candidates. People need to pick one..
I won't vote for either O or R. But here I is.

No. Sorry, old FRiend, but no.
I won't be shoved into picking evil. Ever.
And that's what you are asking me to do.
/johnny
No, we don't.

Hard to do that....we agree on Romney, I believe.
Yes, we do.. unless one is a moron..

No. Just a couple of weeks ago, Romney said that two people of the same gender “who love each other” (isn’t that sweet!) should be allowed to adopt children. I draw the line at casting a vote for such a corrupt, morally bankrupt snake.
Again, is namecalling and insulting the only thing you have? Well, yes, actually I guess it is. Heaven knows you can’t give us anything positive about Romney’s record.

Stay home then. Have a whiskey sour and let the unvetted one have four more years. Your choice. Its your right. God bless. But I wish to not see you on this forum bitching about entitlement spending for the next 4 1/2 yrs. See ta then ol buddy..
It's exactly that sort of herd mentality that got us into this mess to begin with. If conservatives had begun putting their foot down long ago about all the RINOs the party keeps foisting upon us, someone like Romney would never have gotten the backing that he did. The party would have gotten behind an honest conservative in 2008, and we likely wouldn't have ever had Obama as president.
But, here we are, four years later, and the herd animals are trying to convince us that if we just play ball with the establishment one more time, that it'll really be better this time.
When are they ever going to get a clue that falling into line for the establishment will never result in us getting the sort of candidates that can truly move this country back toward its Constitutional moorings?
And now we're seeing stories that Romney is bringing people onto his team that have a history of serving the liberal agenda. Is it already time to say, "I told you so!"?
I agree. After Romney, I don’t know if we can ever get the Republican party back.
Wrong. We have many candidates; we have two candidates only if you narrow it down to Republican vs. Democrat. As it happens, THIS time, both the Democrat and the Republican candidates have established records of pushing the SAME liberal agendas.
People need to pick one [of them].
WRONG again. People need to decide how to cast their Presidential vote to best promote their own interests. I am a conservative who will vote for limited government conservatives down-ticket, and that will dictate "best interest" in how I vote for President.
At this point, it looks like in the presidential race, there will be one of only two outcomes: Romney or Obama. Both will be enemies of limited government conservatives, so it is in my best interest to vote so that whichever one wins the White House, will enter office politically vulnerable and on the defensive so that his opponents, both in his own party and in the opposition party, have a better chance of making him weak. I will vote third party and hope I am joined by enough compatriots to force the "winner" into a plurality victory where some 60% or more of Americans voted AGAINST him either by voting third party or for his opponent.
Obama Hysteria aside, when a president is elected under those circumstances -- as Clinton was in 1992 -- he is made weak and vulnerable and his opposition has real power. The Republican Revolution followed Clinton's 43% plurality win, when enough Americans disgusted with big-government Republican HW Bush as well as liberal Clinton, voted for Perot. We owe a debt of gratitude to those Perot voters because IF HW had won OR IF Clinton had won with a majority, the Republican Revolution would probably never have happened.
ABO is based on Obama Hysteria, and people make really stupid moves that they regret later when they are hysterical.
Social issues are “sensitive” to conservatives. Give it a break. R v w wont be revisited for 20yrs. We have bigger fish to fry.. ie- freedom. Abortion isn’t going to change for years to come. We need jobs, moral, and welfare reform..
I'm always going to get screwed with entitlement spending (Jesus did say we'd always have the poor with us), but I'll confine my bitching to dead babies.
