From March when Rush read a e-mail from a friend upset at Romney. Best email ever that describes our dilemma.
A Conservative's Despair of a Romney Republican Ticket

Rush Limbaugh: Romney Is NO Conservative

I will no longer bother to read their crap.
ABO!
Other than "Sid Mellman," your list consists of Republicans who have recently run for POTUS or VPOTUS and who are subject to an incredible level of party pressure to support quisling Romney as GOP nominee. The claim as to Palin comes from a prehistoric remark before the primaries that any GOP candidate was better than Obozo. I don't remember a specific endorsement of Myth Romney after his utterly dishonest and despicable primary campaign of lies, slanders and libels funded by the usual gang of polo players, Junior Leaguers and apparently an even more sinister group of megabucks slingers buying the nomination for Myth so that he can come through for them on promises to harm our nation and our people in Lucifer only knows which specific ways.
IF Sarah Palin actually endorsed or endorses the Massachusetts pseudo-GOP Antichrist, I would forgive her. Likewise Cain, Santorum, Newt, Bachmann and Perry IF he abandons Dewhurst. IF the Massachusetts trashbag is elected, it really won't matter whether you or his other pom pom girls abandon him upon his first or any other atrocity, I doubt any of you will EVER be forgiven. You have not been subject to the fallen candidates excuse. You actually wanted this reincarnation of Wendell Willke to be elected.
Who the hell is Sid Mellman??? Did you mean lavender queen former RNC Chairthing Ken Mehlman???
I fool no one and I don't intend to fool anyone. I say what I mean and mean what I say. What you see is what you get. I don't have to hide behind a screen of lies and distortions like the Romney pom pom girls.
When the BS is yours (as it is) you have to stop it.
Fallacy of the year.
You don't know Sid? You probably don't know what he and Marty Cavendish did in 62-64 to help start the modern Conservative movement either. What an amateur!
I see that's your false mantra, and an ironic one since ABOers are the ones who do such ludicrous things as yelp that those of us who refuse to vote for either Romney or Obama are "Obama supporters," while if we observe that they are Romney supporters because they are here a) saying they'll vote for him and b) urging us to vote for him, those same people scream bloody murder at being called exactly what they are: Romney supporters.
That behavior looks a lot like Romney's record: pure liberal.
So ... you’re saying that Jim Robinson is a secret lib trying to re-elect Obama? You’re certainly saying that I am, and you are dead wrong. You may not know it, but I do.
You just whine that "it's like arguing with a liberal," which is so ironic that it would be funny if it wasn't so damned sad.
Your last question is exactly the point that these terrified ABO tunnel-vision folks refuse to ponder.
Many ABOers loathe Romney truly. One of them, unkus, seems certainly to despise Romney but his fear of Obama is overpowering his common sense, and he has posted frequently to folks like me (see my tagline) that we'll go "nuts" if Romney wins.
I can only shake my head sadly: if Romney wins on a landslide and Innovative, unkus, and all the other ABOers ignoring their common sense and better judgment out of fear, anger, and desire for vengeance against Obama, see their anti-Obama referendum suddenly being taken up as a pro-Romney mandate, they are the ones who would go nuts. And only the most naive pollyanna doesn't get that if Romney wins on a landslide, that is EXACTLY what he would do.
And they, like conservatives in Congress, would be impotent and outnumbered by a president, moderate Republicans, GOP Establishment, Democrats, and liberal press who would point to Romney's landslide as a clear indicator that the majority of Americans wanted his "progressive style of governing." Obama would be long forgotten and irrelevant.
That is when we would be seeing ABOers going nuts, because they voted FOR it.
We had all better pray for a plurality regardless of who wins. A plurality is what is what I will be voting for, by casting my vote third party, because there is n such thing as voting "against" -- it is materially impossible; a vote can only ever be for something, even if it's for the rejection of a ballot proposition, and we don't have that thumbs-up-or-down option with individual candidates.
If two of every three voters says "to hell with both of them" and votes third party, there is an excellent chance, considering Obama's low poll numbers, that the winner, whichever one it is, enters office on such an embarassing plurality that nearly two in three votes were cast against him. It would make a downright mockery of Obama, if he was the one to win.
Col. Flagg: The part where that's true. Because it's not.
Colonel, Innovative is confusing choices with outcomes. The only outcome (unless we have a miracle) is Obama or Romney. As for ballot choices, we have many. If enough of us choose other than Obama or Romney, whichever plick wins will be a joke opposed nearly two to one, weak, vulnerable, and embattled, while conservatives in Congress will have the upper hand in battling him. Because the ONLY outcome (unless we have a miracle) will be an anti-conservative authoritarian statist president.
And you will go crazy when Romney takes your anti-Obama referendum and perverts it into a pro-Romney mandate.
But I won't LOL.
Yeah, that is a bit of a glaring omission, isn't it?
Really? What about the founder of this site, who is as opposed to Romney as I am? Is he a troll, too? Are the 130 (at least) FReepers who reject Romney all trolls?
And my third party vote will be entirely neutral as to whether Obama or Romney wins -- I am willing to leave it to chance, to other folks, to select the winner, and it will be close because Obama has become despised by many who voted for him last time. Are you so cowed and whipped that you think Romney would lose without me?
You need to admit that you are for moving the Republican party hard left out of your fear of Obama, that you have lost the courage to stand and fight liberalism, that you plan to vote like a coward and call people like me "trolls" in the bargain.
Or are you afraid to admit it?
Even Jim Robinson?
Your fear of Obama borders on hysteria.
Of course you didn't -- intellectually, you can't afford to.
Correction: If ONE in three voters says to hell with both of them ...
Sorry to report it, but Romney Republicans have a whole new crop of Boehners in the hopper.
I’m not afraid of Oblunder, I’m afraid of what America will look like when he is finished destroying it. If that doesn’t bother you, you really need to get your head out of the sand and think what your kids and grandkids will have to deal with for their lives.
