In Case You Don't Like Romney...
Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election …
“If Romney wins the nomination, as seems very likely, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who may have hesitation on that score, I’d just ask you to keep four things in mind:
1.. Justice Scalia just turned 78
2.. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year
3.. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August
4.. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago and has had cancer twice.
Whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.
If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you’re smokin’ something funky….”
So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didn’t get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can't win ... just imagine this possibility:
'SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ERIC HOLDER'
Did that get your attention!
I was under the impression that you wrote the above.
I certainly did write that. It does not say what you tried to characterize it as. If that’s to be your methodology, have nice day.
Good question.
From a FOXnews story:
“Last November, Romney promised that, if elected, he would model his Supreme Court nominees after Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas and Alito.”
*************************
Who are you trying to kid?
Unfortunately, with Romney, one has to stop right there.
God used the murderer Saul of Taursus and turned him into a mighty powerful tool.
He will use whom He uses. Please let it be a sinner like me!
You made my point about Reagan. He CHANGED from being pro-choice to being pro-life.If everyone thought like those here now attacking Romney, then Reagan would never have been elected President. I wouldn’t want to be betting my last dollar that Romney is sincere in his convictions as he says he is now pro-life and against gay marriage. But I am certain what Obama is. I’m also certain that Romney will do better for the economy than Obama. I’ll let God deal with him if he’s lying about the other issues.
Gosh Norm, there's only you and about a hundred other Freepers who are "pure" now....
:-)
Who’s my former Idol?
If you mean Perry, he was never my idol but I supported him and I still do.
If you mean Romney, he was never my idol. I was for Palin, then Perry, then Gingrich.
And, yes, I’m still hurt and astounded by the Perry abuse that happened to a good man on this forum, but it has nothing to do with my current posts which are all about getting rid of Obama.
How ironic that you would use the term ‘magical thinking.’
Magical thinking is that someone will swoop in and get the nomination.
Magical thinking is feeling that by not voting for Romney, you are making some sort of noble statement that will be heard round the world. All it will do is give Obama a chance to win.
I am allowed to state my opinions, which you call spewing my crap.
Life is not hard for me. It is good. I’m not consumed by hate and vendettas.
Well..
Actually "fake" might be a bit strong.
It says "This account has been banned or suspended".
Fact is.. it has.
It isn't now, but it has been.
Reagan put actions to his words AFTER being elected president. Thank God he was given the chance.
Reagan WAS NOT pro abortion.
Did you even read about the law, why he signed it, how he was misled about the medical information.
However, why does it matter anyway Romney promotes abortion and that doesn’t bother you.
I’m not trying to kid anyone.
I’ve stated over and over that I love Free Republic and that I wish it would return to its former glory.
If you can find a post saying I hate Free Republic, good luck.
You’ll have to go back to another dimension.
You insulted Freepers, You insulted the owner and you insulted the site calling it "weird", with a Jim Jones Mentality, and called it an insane asylum.
You are a liar and a fraud.

"Jim R. never posted or interfered much back in those days. I have totally lost respect for him because it's obvious that his pathological hatred of Romney has caused him to lose all perspective and he would actually rather see Obama win than Romney. I am convinced of that. And now the site is just weird. I checked it out yesterday. Very few threads of general and political interest were started. Most of those had 2 to 20 replies. On the other hand, the threads of the inbred idiocracy just kept going on and on up to 700 posts with the same people saying the same thing. I really think a Jim Jones mentality has set in over there".
(Posted by altura, May 4, 2012). "I was pleased when I saw the truce thread, but it turned out to be bull stuff.
It's exactly the same there. I think Jim was indicating that he wouldn't zot in the hope of getting more contributions. Their contributions haven't moved a dollar in a week.
But I scanned the thread and it's the same old BS. You cannot reason with those people and it's sickening to try. By the way, I am using my screen name from over there, maybe it was a mistake but it's done now and at this point I don't really care what the insane asylum does about me.
Lake, Please explain how any of those people, you or I can vote for a lib and still claim we hold to conservative values. I’m waiting for an explanation no one seems able to provide. Why?
Because one cannot, regardless if they are popular, or have a conservative talk show. Logic and critical thought lead to that simple conclusion. Sure it’s sounds radical and insane. But can you honestly, logically deny it?
I hate being on the opposing team to you Lake, after fighting the PDS wars together, but it is what it is.
Good men don’t back illegals by opposing effective means to stop them, nor pull his guardasil crap. He got the treatment he earned through his actions.
hahahahahaha
I was upset when I posted that stuff and, in truth, had forgotten all about it.
I’m not a liar and a fraud. I was talking about Free Republic not some other site.
If you’ve been insulted as much as I have for simply stating the truth, sometimes you need to vent.
I have always respected Jim. He started this site way back in about 1996 and it eventually became Free Republic and became world famous for being an intelligent, conservative site.
I mourn that it has lost that standing because of people like you.
You dominate every thread and insult those who disagree, however mildly.
The 105 of you who work tirelessly to elect Obama and point out flaws in his opponent are truly of Jim Jones mentality, so I stand by that.
I contributed in the last pledge drive and will do so in the next one, but it took two months to reach the goal last time. Why do you think that is?
Stop worrying about me and worry about yourselves.
You need help.
