The main problem is, when you look at their history, you can’t tell the difference between Hussein and Romney

That is pure unadulterated bull shit. It's also stupid and dishonest!

I’m not about making nice with idiots in the hopes that they’ll vote for my guy. If they can’t see the danger facing the country they’re beyond reason. I don’t care if they’re offended, hurt or even amused.

Don't be suprised if you lose, then. Calling people (that you need to vote for your guy) names doesn't win elections.

“Looking at the same numbers from current polling when compared to McCain in 2008 and Bush in 2004, it’s no longer a question, it is fact that conservatives and evangelicals are not turning out for Romney.”

No, that’s not a fact, since nobody has actually “turned out” yet, as we have not held the election. It seems like this analyst has stared at numbers for so long that he forgets they are only a projection of reality, and not reality itself.

I think R. Paul is an absolute disaster

Good God he is the ONLY reason I am voting for Romney. Paul Ryan is the Sarah Palin of 2012.

You think I meant Paul Ryan. I meant Ron Paul. A world of difference.

You're self righteous and sanctimonious.

Project much?

They’re letting “perfect be the enemy of good”

Another of the quadrenniel, nonsensical canards trotted out to justify a nomination from the Rockefeller wing of the GOP. No one asks for "perfect." The best president of the last century, Reagan, had one or two ideas with which I disagreed. What "they're" asking for is a sincere man who can take a firm conservative stand on at least most of the issues "they" find important.

I'm voting Romney, but I'm not enthusiastic. More accurately, I'm voting against Obama. It's a mistake, like it was a mistake to vote for Dole and McCain. That only encourages the GOP to nominate such non-conservative, loser candidates.

But we've been forced to make a choice. I made mine, but I won't criticize "they" who decided to get off the bus. Either way is a mistake.

“Fine and Obama is not mine, nor is Obama appointed by God. He is also constitutionally illegitmate thus nulling and voiding any authority he has. Romans 13:1-7 was also written at a time when oriental despostism was the rule of the time. The concept of a free society, the rule of law and democratic republic conceived by Christians inspired by God came several hundred years later which was even beyond St. Paul’s knowledge and experience.”

Obama IS appointed by God. That’s Biblical stuff. Although judging by “St. Paul” I’d say you’re Catholic and therefore don’t believe in the sovereignty of God. I’m just trying to explain the mindset of Evangelicals.

“Your point is that you’re complicit in the destruction of our country and surrender to Sharia.”

Are you even hearing yourself when you type incoherent crap like that? Using the same “logic” you use, I could say that YOU, SIR are doing the exact same thing by voting for a left-of-center Republican.

...but I won’t... because that would be stupid and irresponsible.

You want math?
How much debt did GWB rack up before Obama was even in the picture eh?

This is what we get when we vote for moderates. We get the same out-of-control spending, open borders, gun-grabbing etc...

So spare ME your “fall in line” garbage.

Obviously you were never taught what it means to be a team player.

The republican party endorsed obama by putting RINO Romneycare rationed medicine for enhancement of insurers power in the health care sector over patients and doctors endorser, and Agenda 21 supporter via massachusetss climate change, soviet planner mitt romney up as the candidate.

They knew how distasteful honest Americans find romney’s record when they selected him, but since they don’t care about America surviving the economic and cultural push to global government, they knew romney would be the right man for their team to finish the job.

Either way the republican elite gets the global government they desire, the American people be damned!

What I mean should be self-evident. I see critical thinking isn’t one of your strong suits.

But you just confirmed that my low estimation of your intelligence level was correct.

It’s the truth that there’s little to like about Romney from
a conservative point of view. But he does seem to be more
in touch with the middle east than the the nonfriend of
Bibi in the white hut now.

Very nice thing to say... very courteous. Personally I find your “critical thinking” to be lacking as well. However, I have the common sense (although maybe it’s not so common since you clearly lack it) to realize that it’s just my OPINION and not fact.

Your estimations of my intelligence level mean absolutely nothing to me. Nice try though.

Mitt Romney will not receive my vote. You can cry about it if you like. Neither will Barack Obama btw.

I’m a conservative. I’m voting for a conservative.
