To Mr. Robinson, I mean no disrespect. I see people supporting the Romney/Ryan ticket on here although I know you said not to. This is just my opinion. I'm a Mom and worry about my children's future like never before. I read the articles posted here and don't understand how we can think not voting GOP will help. I hope I'm not kicked off the board, but I can't take Obama anymore.

[mazda77]

So, you’re going to vote for Obama?

[MacMattico]

Letting you know what I posted and that even if I’m banned, I appreciate all you’ve done.

[rwilson99]

Dear Leader thanks you for your support.

Good work comrade.

[Admin Moderator]

I guess you missed this thread:

Obama the capitalism-hating, liberty-hating, America-hating Marxist must be destroyed!!

[Happy Rain]

They can, however, vote for Ryan...Romney who?

I voted for Sarah Palin in 2008—it's not my fault whatsis face had to attach his RINO butt to HER ticket:)

[jokemoke]

Great post! Thank you!!! I will not sit this one out and allow O to win. My vote will count!!!

[SamAdams76]

Don't agonize over it. The choice is simple. We need to vote out the party that is determined to turn America into a godless, communist state that will turn most of us into peasants.

Once Obama and his ilk are defeated, we can work on finding more perfect candidates in future elections.

[fellowpatriot]

Sitting out this election = a vote for obama. Romney may not be our ideal candidate but I do believe that he loves his country. This is an election that we cannot afford to lose.

[Son House]

I say go ahead and vote your conscious. I don’t think your vote is going to matter.

[submarinerswife]

Why the vanity? You are just repeating what is said by members on this board 100 times a day. Some of us aren’t so passive with our opinions of those who are going to sit at home because of the rotten choice of candidates who ran in the primary. Lady, you are just preaching to the choir. You aren’t special in your situation or opinion.

Most of us love this board and are very grateful for it’s existence and the hard work that goes into it by Jim Rob, but I think he gets it. We have no choice but Romney. We have nothing to apologize for or to justify. It is what it is.

R&R 2012!

[panaxanax]

Everything you said is 100% correct and reflects the views of many frustrated FReepers.

Thank you.

[mkjessup]

Good news Mom, JimRob adopted your position (albeit with reluctance because Romney was never any conservative's first choice) back on August 20th, this is what he had to say:

Obama the capitalism-hating, liberty-hating, America-hating Marxist must be destroyed!!

Obama the capitalism-hating, liberty-hating, America-hating, godless Marxist/communist must be completely destroyed politically!! To allow him another term in the presidency would be to allow the total destruction of America.

As much as I detest what the Republican party has become, there is no other party on this earth that can come anywhere close to accomplishing what must be accomplished to keep America from spiraling down a Marxist/communist toilet.

Obama and his Marxist government must not only be defeated, they must be crushed and totally destroyed!! We must pray that God Almighty Himself moves Heaven and Earth to rid our government of this unholy, filthy, communist scum that has infested the democrat party, our government and our society!! And we know that God will not do that. He leaves these earthly tasks to us. It's OUR country and if we wish to keep it, we must move the mountains ourselves and do whatever it takes with whomever we have to get the job done!!

America will NOT go down without a fight!! Free Republic will not standby and do nothing while Obama destroys everything we hold dear!!

Damn Romney and his RINO history! Damn the GOPe for making this fight twice as hard as it should be! ANY Republican with a halfway decent record would crush Obama like the vermin he is. Well by God, if it has to be Romney, that SOB better grow a pair and he'd better get his butt in gear and fight like there's no tomorrow, because there's not!! This is do or die time!! And Rove had better turn out to be at least half as smart as he thinks he is. He engineered it. Now by golly, make it HAPPEN!! And our friends Hannity, Coulter, Rush, Levin, et al, had better start cranking it up another notch. The tea party is ready to rumble. The tea party sweeps of 2010 was just a warm-up for the tea party flood of 2012 that's going to wash America clean of godless communist/unionist scum from sea to shining sea.

We are going to send that paper hanging SOB packing and then we're going to rip out all his Marxist B/S by the roots and fumigate the ground so it can never grow again!!

All Republicans, independents, grassroots conservatives, tea party members, moderates, Reagan democrats, Christians, Jews, life, family, liberty, decency-loving patriots of any stripe must work like the blazes for the next couple of months and then turnout on election day and drag their friends, relatives and co-workers to the polls to vote that communist bastard and as many godless, liberty-hating, capitalism-hating, God-hating, liberal progressive, corrupt Marxist communists bastards the hell OUT as is humanly possible!!

We'll deal with Romney and the RINOS later. [emphasis mine, mkj]

Let the wailing and weeping commence. I've spent the last sleepless night over this miserable situation that I'm going to spend. I love America, Life and Liberty too much to let it fail.

Praying with all my might that this is in accordance to God's will and plan. God works in mysterious ways.
May God bless and save America.
All Glory be to God.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.

Make it happen.

So you don't have to worry about being banned in my opinion, because we all realize that we have one shot and one shot only to throw that filthy Communist Kenyan out of OUR White House, and voting Romney & Ryan is it.

JimRob has not compromised his conservative principles one iota, what he has done is put everything on the line for the good of our Nation, he is focusing on our immediate enemy who is hellbent on destroying what's left of our Republic, and as he said above "we'll deal with Romney and the RINOs later".

And I might suggest having the mods edit your title to 'Real Conservatives Can't MUST Vote Romney/Ryan'. I think you unintentionally are sending out two messages here.

[vet7279]

I agree, with a little twist. I will vote Romney/Ryan but have NO hope that anything will change. The government will continue to grow, we will continue to accumulate enormous debt and we will crepe ever closer to that cliff. Bush had a republican house and senate, and in the days after 911 the nation was a united as I have never seen it before. The closets in the White House were stuffed with political capital just waiting for constructive use. What did we do? We spent it all on abortion and anti-gay crap. We wasted a perfect opportunity to restructure/reduce the federal government on ideological junk. So I have no hope that a future republican congress and white house will be any different. We are too focused on getting BO out that we are not pushing the candidates to do anything more than win.

[SueRae]

I’m on board with everything you said. With one difference. One day into their convention, I’m not terrified, I’m more determined than ever. the last four years have been the worst of my life. My friends tell me I read too much, watch too much news, have become a polticial junkie, etc. I admit it. After the 2008 election, I was so depressed that I even started smoking again after nearly 4 years. I want to quit badly...but until this regime is ousted, my nerves will not permit it. Romney wasn’t my choice either but I’m voting for him. His first executive decision to bring Paul Ryan on board sealed it for me. And I have concluded that the man has a love of family and a charitable heart. I think he wants to do the right thing but is going to need a lot of help and guidance to pull him in the right directions. I’m willing to live with that. The alternative is unthinkable for me.

I wish you well.

[gotribe]

Idiot! I cast a vote once for Mickey Mouse - Carter won that election.

[ScottinVA]

After reading your post, it appears you need the mods to rewrite your headline.

[montanajoe]

I don't think you can judge whether a person is a “Real Conservative” by their vote for or against Romney.

I don't vote for liberals period, therefore I wont vote for Romney.

I understand others point of view in voting for Romney but I don't and cant share it.

[thingumbob]

Agree, I'm a

A-B-O voter

[Bryanw92]

Worst. Title. Ever!

I was going to jump on the bandwagon and yell at you like everyone else. Fortunately, I stopped to read your article. I agree with you. Romney isn’t even my fifth choice either, but compared to the communist Obama, he is the far better choice. And I live in Florida where my vote can make the difference.

I was watching just a few minutes of Moochelle last night and she was terrifying as she talked about her long-suffering father who had to work and was so proud for sending her to college, even though loans and grants paid for almost all of it. He only contributed a tiny amount, but that was a source of “pride” for him because that’s all he could afford.

From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs. That’s their measure of success. Chip in a little and let the taxpayers pick up the rest of the tab. I only watched 3 minutes of the Communist National Convention and this was what I heard. I hate to think of what the other 3 hours was like. More of the same, I’m sure.

[Woodsman27]

I’ve struggled with this issue a lot. Mitt is a liberal who has supported abortion, gun control, gays, Romneycare, etc. I don’t believe a word he says and think that he is a Republican version of Bill Clinton or John Edwards. He’ll say whatever it takes to get elected and seems to have no core convictions. I like Ryan enough.

Despite the fact that I despise Romney and find him the worst candidate we’ve ever run I think Obama is dangerous enough that I have to support Romney. I think the best course of action is for me to vote for Romney because I live in a swing state. If I did not live in a swing state i’d feel free to vote my convictions and would do so.
