Then get ready for the gulags, and loss of freedom on a massive scale never before seen in this country (and double what has occurred in the past 3.5 years). Good luck with that. For myself, I’ll NEVER REFUSE to do what I must to help save this country.
Where have we heard that before? Weren't people promising that in 2008 if Obama won? Wasn't Obama Hysteria predicting martial law and suspension of the 2010 mid-terms? You may have forgotten all that hysteria, but I remember it well. If Obama was that powerful, don't you think he'd have done the gulags, etc., by now? What is stopping him now that wouldn't be stopping him with Congress even more empowered by conservative Republicans and himself in office on a plurality (that's what a third party vote is FOR -- a plurality) where a clear majority of Americans voted against him?
You are letting blind fear manipulate you into risking a landslide majority sanction for the destruction of this country under the "R" banner. An authoritarian statist by any other name is still a an authoritarian statist, and Romney's record CONFIRMS his status as an authoritarian statist. That is a hard, cold fact. Your vote for Romney will be a vote FOR government tyranny, not "against" gulags, etc.
The problem JL, is that a Romney landslide, which ABO risks in a very big way, would in no way "help" this country. STOP obsessing over Obama and START pondering the real world consequences of Romney. LOOK AT HIS RECORD. Romney has long advanced and promoted everything that is part of the problem. Just because he's not Obama and not outspoken in his contempt for the Constitution, doesn't mean he isn't every bit as lethal an agent of government tyranny.
Better a term in the gulags than an eternity in hell. I don’t see Romney as a savior for the country anyway. Government mandated/forced leftist programs (like RomneyCare, for example) are not exactly my idea of free-market capitalism. Or of freedom. Government mandated (forced) RomneyCare is every bit as anti-liberty and anti-American as ObamaCare. Abortion, homo-marriage, homos in the military, etc, likewise. Romney is no conservative, never has been, never will be. Has no concept of “free-markets” or freedom. Claims RomneyCare is free-market. If it’s free-market why does it require government to force it on the people and fines (or tax penalties) against the formerly free citizens who don’t go along with his tyranny? And he’s still pushing this nonsense. Very little difference between his leftist mandated programs and his progressive abortionist/homosexualist/statist positions and Obama’s.
And it’s already started. I see Republicans now softening their positions on these issues already and he’s not even elected yet. Some are now trying to justify mandated socialist programs like RomneyCare as not so bad. Pam Bondi, for example, now claims RomneyCare is good healthcare and it would be a good thing for most states to adopt similar programs. And she proudly boasts that will be serving on Romney’s new National Healthcare Task Force. And some are trying to justify his positions on homosexuals adopting children, serving in the military, marrying, etc. Won’t be long until they’re clamoring to drop the pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun planks from the platform. After all, “Reagan was for abortion.” Right. Constitutionally limited government is already gone (thanks to “conservatives” like Chief Justice Roberts).
The camel’s head is in the tent. His ass ain’t far behind.
10 seconds until the Romney pushers start claiming I’m an O-bot.
