How Romney Can Win

I meant to ping you folks to #39.

"Mittler"

Ever heard of Godwin's law?

[EternalVigilance]

New tagline.

[Cyber Liberty]

Do you remember A+Bert?

[EternalVigilance]

Ever heard of Godwin's law?

Better to break some "law" made up by some guy on the internet than to violate the laws of nature and Nature's God.

[I see my hands]

Despite your attempt to distract with names such as Mao (lol) one of the two of those you mentioned will be POTUS. If you don't care which then say so. Fair enough.

I'm not for Romney, you made that up. You're a liar, not so fair.

[APatientMan]

Never thought I’d see you go over the fence.

Hope you come back. What kind of candidate are you voting for?

Respectfully,
APM

[Cyber Liberty]

Clever response. But wrong. I don't like Mittens the man, but I really don't like "Mittler" the name, as a pejorative. That's infantile Democrat Underground crap (Bushitler anyone?) and I expect better from FReepers.

It may be an internet-created meme, but it has purchase. There's some truth to it.

[Windflier]

I do not prefer Obozo. I do not prefer Mittler. I do not prefer Caligula. I do not prefer Nero. I do not prefer Diocletian. I do not prefer Lenin. I do not prefer Stalin. I do not prefer Chairman Mao. I do not prefer Obamao. I do not prefer Mittler. If that does not adequately explain to you my preference, get thee to a home for the terminally rationally challenged.

LOL .. If that doesn't get the point across, nothing will.

Just what is it with some people's logic circuits, that they find it near impossible to understand that many of us refuse to support that which we vehemently disagree with, in the form of a pandering, duplicitous politician, who has more in common with the left, than he does with us?

Tell you what. I'm tired of arguing with these integrity challenged sell outs. I want them to put their money where their mouth is. I want them to post some pro-Romney jpegs, and swear to me that they've got his bumper sticker on their cars. They want to pressure me to think their way - then by all means, pull out all the stops. If it's all over, and he's now our nominee, I want to see some real cheer leading with pom poms proudly waving!

Let's see them show the courage of their convictions.

I echo APatientMan's sentiments as well.

It is so sad to see principled conservatives sell their soul, their principles, even their morals to support somebody because they aren't Obama.

You've become a ABO, or more appropriately, a POP (Party over principle). I sincerely hope you come to your senses and come back to the conservative side of the fence.

[EternalVigilance]

There's some truth to it.

There's some truth to the comparison, since apparently Romney profited to the tune of about fifty million dollars from the trade in the broken bodies of the victims of the Planned Parenthood death camps.

And then there's his gun banning. Very Hitleresque, that is.

Other stuff too, as if that isn't enough.

[Cyber Liberty]

Tow-MAY-tow, tow-MAH-tow, I guess. I think adding “Hitler” to the guy’s name is just stupid, and makes the user look like a fool, but it’s really a matter of taste.

Please not I do not disagree with your assessment of Romney, but I just don’t like the “Mittler” handle. It’s not clever enough, for one thing. Democrat Underground level of discourse.

[Cyber Liberty]

“Please not” S/B “Please note.” Nabbed by the spell checker again.

[EternalVigilance]

Well, in any case, the usefulness of “Godwin’s law” is shrinking rapidly as our “leaders” become more and more fascist in their orientation.

[Dr. Sivana]

>i>I think adding “Hitler” to the guy’s name is just stupid, and makes the user look like a fool, but it’s really a matter of taste.

BlackElk has as standard operating procedure a willingness to match the rhetoric of his antagonist. In many ways, being called an Obama supporter because you're a principled conservative who will not vote for the matching slipper of the pair is aking to comparing Romney to Hitler, except that it is more personal.

[Cyber Liberty]

Then I consider it a passing thing. Good, because I don’t care for it. It’s purely a matter of opinion. You know what they say: Opinions are like a-holes, everybody has one.

Sometimes, I think I speak out of my opinion....

You, sir, have a great point there. It is good great to see the benefits of FR longevity at work. We agree 100%.

[Gene Eric]

>> I didn’t advise (or ‘force’ in your BS false witness)

You were not the subject of the statement. “Learn to read.”

[Gene Eric]

>> The suggestion upthread that we *must* elect Romney or suffer internment camps under Obama

Fair enough — a bogus premise.

>> Globalism is the new socialism, and Romney (as a globalist himself) is no improvement upon the current _resident.

I don’t agree there’s no advantage with Romney as POTUS, but the advantage seems relatively slim at times.

Romney and Obama aside, this fight is far from over. Liberty will prevail.

[Graewoulf]

” - - - Romney isn’t our best guy, but he’s light-years above Obama.”

Is that why Romney is called Obamalite?

Romney is so out of touch with REALITY that his paint-drying campaign speeches only point is to describe how bad Obama is.

WE KNOW how bad Obama is!

What we want to know is which 3 of Romney’s 59 points are going to REVERSE Obamanation?

Romney is the most DUMPABLE Primary Winner going against the worst Incumbent - - - and the polls call it correctly: THEY ARE TIED!

Give it to us straight Romney, or get out of the way!
