If we endorse Romney this time, the establishment GOP might take heart and nominate Lincoln Chafee or Olympia Snowe next time. After all, if we are willing to vote for anybody with an “R” after their name, they might as well continue this trend and nominate someone even more liberal. And what kind of judges would Chafee and Snowe select?
Unless we stop the trend, we will simply keep getting even worse and worse handbasket drivers as our nominee.
Voting for Romney may be great tactics, but it’s horrible strategy.
If Romney wins in the fall it’ll be better than a 0bama win, of course, but he’ll find some kind of “mandate” that the voters never intended and he’ll do some kind of Socialism-lite garbage and be a one-termer and the dems will win in 2016 regardless of who they run.
Your term “handbasket drivers” is a great phrase that unfortunately rings too true.
And it's unlikely either of those two would get any votes in the primaries. We had a very lively primary this time around. The only people who chose Mitt were the ones who voted for him in the primaries. Maybe we can convince fewer conservatives to run in the next primary, but it's unlikely.
The Party didn't choose Romney, he just happened to be the one who received the most votes of any ONE of the candidates in the primary. He wasn't my first choice, but I WILL vote for him in November, because on Inauguration Day in Jan of 2013, I don't want it to be Obama being sworn in for a second term. That would be disastrous for this country.
‘Unless we stop the trend’
And how do you stop the trend?
By leaving obozo and gang in power for 4 more years to teach the GOP a lesson?
No matter what, obozo must go!
Romney is an American, obozo is not!
Romney will not have any czars and EPA kind of agencies! Obozo - full of them
Romney is not at liberty to veto a conservative congress’s legislation, obozo will always do so!
Romney probably wants to go down in history as the president who saves the Republic. We can nudge him in that direction; obozo has his own direction......
Instead of taking the better of the 2 and mold him, you would rather leave the devil there to complete the destruction - some kind of trend you will be setting!
You refuse to vote for McCain, so obozo comes in.
You refuse to vote for Romney, so obozo stays.
You have nothing but obozo from now on - that is the trend you want?
