	And the Un-Masking of Mitt Romney, the lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, continues . . . "If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Seems the other day there was quite the kerfluffle about Virgil Goode being helped by the Green Party to get on the VA Ballot.

Romney seems to be benifiting from the extreme left as well Global Warming crowd as this article points out.

The fact that so many of Mitt’s moderate friends have chosen to make a run to the hard left should serve as a warning but it won’t.

So far, I will vote “none of the above” for president.

If Romney wins WITHOUT my vote,

AND

he governs as a conservative for 4 years,

THEN

I’ll vote for him in 2016.

P.S. a Freeper (I forget who) developed this strategy a while ago. It is the only one that does not violate my conscience.

Everyone now knows that Obama is GOING DOWN in November. This, and the fact that the Kenyan can’t get any money from anyone, is just another indication that these groups don’t want to be on the side of the sinking ship. If one takes their ideological glasses off, it’s obviously clear how bad things are starting to look for the Kenyan.

Most in the GOP are in love with the idea of carbon credits.
It is the next hedge-fund bubble which they think is going to enrich their fortunes.

Unbelievable. Impossible. Willard Mitt Romney is as rock-solid of a man as one could ever hope to meet. He would not waver even if he were sitting on top of a flagpole in the middle of a Cat 5 hurricane. He is so firm and uncompromising in his principles, he makes a stone wall look like quivering jello. This man simply DOES NOT CHANGE. We can take his word that where he’s at today will be where he’s at tomorrow, since it’s been where he’s at for ages past.

I had the sad experience the other day of talking with a fellow conservative who, after I briefly reminded her of Romney's record on global warming, state-run health care, activist judges, on-demand abortion, and the gay agenda (she was pretty horrified when she learned about the adoption agencies that closed in Mass. rather than cooperate with homosexual couples who wanted to adopt, as Romney's law now requires) has convinced herself that "Romney will surprise us." She so desperately wants to believe that "he'll come around," that she gets angry at anyone who suggests that a life-long liberal like Romney is going to remain true to form.

She also explained that she wouldn't be voting "for" Romney, she'd be voting "against" Obama. *sigh* One cannot vote "against" anything, ever, on any ballot, whether it's a candidate or a proposition; any vote is ONLY and ALWAYS for something -- even on propositions, you can only vote FOR nixing it. Voting "against" Obama is like voting "against" killing the pretty pink unicorns: 100 percent imaginary.

Meanwhile, the solid documented reality is that Romney is a liberal Democrat registered in the Republican party. Obama was "hope and change" -- Romney is "hope he'll change." The second one is as much a hoax as the first.

The last time a president won on a plurality, he was impeached. The time before when a president won on a plurality, he was dominated by the Republican Revolution -- and that president was pretty popular in general terms. Obama is loathed, he's in real trouble with his supporters, and there's virtually zero chance he could get 50% of the vote in 2012.

I cannot vote "against" Romney any more than I can vote "against" Obama. But I have a DUTY to vote. So I'll be voting conservative down-ticket, and at the top, I'll be voting for a plurality. Despite the mathematically challenged here who emote otherwise, third-party votes favor neither major party candidate; those who shriek, "It will favor Obama because it favors the incumbent!" should argue that point with HW Bush. Every single third party vote -- and there will probably be plenty from Democrats/liberals who'll abandon Obama this tme around -- reduces the popular mandate of the winner and increases the chances of a plurality.

So I'm voting for a plurality. I'm voting third party. It favors neither Obama nor Romney, but it will count toward making the winner that much weaker in terms of a popular mandate, and that will HELP the conservatives I'll have voted for down-ticket in opposing that liberal, whether it is Obama or Romney.

There is good, solid sense in voting third party as a means to help conservatives in Congress battle liberalism and statism. It will take the most courage I've ever had to muster in an election; it will be the first time in my life I'll have declined a Republican on any ballot, let alone the top of the ticket, since I started voting in 1976, and I have voted in every major and mid-term election since. But I must face the truth: voting for Romney is as nuts as voting for Obama, and I CAN vote for a plurality in my best and only chance to weaken whichever bastard wins.
