“We already have maybe 10 years of misery just undoing the damage and debt Obama has ALREADY wreaked upon us. Four more years, and there will be only ashes. Does anybody want to wish this on our kids ?”

Apparently some people do. Many of the ones I’ve seen are practically gleeful in contemplating what Obama is going to do to everyone else, and how much we’re going to suffer because we didn’t nominate their pet ‘pure’ conservative.

First of all, good morning!

Thank God for another day, and another chance to fight the evil that is staring us in the face.

I have been reading all the comments on this thread, and I thank you all for stating so clearly what we are up against in just 45 days.

In 1980, even though I was much younger, I could see that the future of America was at stake, and the road to that future diverged between Reagan and Carter.

I feel much more so today. It seems that the rest of America is slowly catching on to what we realized in 2007 and 2008—Obama hates this country, his Administration hates this country, and they are all Godless,radical, Israel-hating people, who are endangering the very survival of our country.

The time for arguing about the purity or conservatism of any Republican candidate is long past.Those battles were fought, but they no longer matter.

All that matters now is what you see when you gaze upon your children and grandchildren sleeping safely in their beds at night—and realizing there are evil forces afoot that wish to compromise their liberty and their future.

For some of us, the majority of our life is past, and it has been a terrific one, steeped in freedom and abundance, and safe from want and fear.

But for them, their tomorrows are ahead of them, and they are depending upon us to do what they cannot do—select a President who will guarantee their future.

In 2012, we face such a choice—where the diverging roads of the future and where each will lead is so clear that it is frightening.

The issue of who is the more perfect candidate is not even relevant, because there is not, nor has there ever been, a perfect candidate.

If morality is the measure, there is no one who can argue that Barack Obama is a more moral man than Mitt Romney.

If executive ability is the measure, there is no one who can argue that Barack Obama is more able than Mitt Romney.

If economic understanding is the measure, there is no one who can argue that Barack Obama is more able than Mitt Romney.

If love of America is the measure, there is no one who can argue that Barack Obama loves America period, and certainly not more than Mitt Romney.

If guaranteeing the freedoms that are our birthright is the measure, there is no one who can argue that Barack Obama will fight for those freedoms mmore than Mitt Romney.

If the care and respect of our military is the measure, there is no one who can argue that Barack Obama cares more about the military than Mitt Romney.

If defending Israel is the measure, there is no one who can argue that Barack Obama will defend Israel at all, let alone more than Mitt Romney.

In the primary season, Mitt Romney was no one’s choice here.

In the election, Mitt Romney is the only choice.

Romney is not the same as Obama, and anyone who says so is intellectually deficient.

Make no mistake, the fight of our lives is upon us. When it would cost you nothing but the time to go and vote for
Romney to save the country, how can any of us make a rational excuse to those sleeping innocents for not doing so, when by NOT doing so, the cost of defending their future rises to a height that can only be paid by tremendous sacrifice?

Oh yeah, I was planted on FR in 2004 to undermine Romney’s candidacy.

Polls are historically since Dewey rather accurate

It's a scam. They start polling fairly right before the election.

WELL said E82!

Might I offer a minor edit to your excellent commentary?

Romney is not the same as Obama, and anyone who says so is intellectually deficient an EFFIN' MORON!

(thanks very much ;)

In a previous episode, my excellent FRiend SJB said:

“We already have maybe 10 years of misery just undoing the damage and debt Obama has ALREADY wreaked upon us. Four more years, and there will be only ashes. Does anybody want to wish this on our kids?”

***** BUMP!!!! *****

Luircin, you are SO absolutely correct on this. The so-called 'principled' ones and their ideological purists will either wake up on the morning of November 7th and scream "ohhhh GAWD NOOOO!!!! ROMNEY WON!?!??! GAAAAHHH!!!"

OR:

They'll wake up and say "0BAMA WON! YAY US! YAY 'PURE' CONSERVATISM! YAY America's gonna die now and prove our point!'

They are the political equivalent of the residents of Jonestown in November 1978, who couldn't believe what was going to happen until it was time for them to have their own personal cup of purple FlavorAid pressed into their hands.

(and what a coincidence, this November, just like THAT November, there was a Congressman Ryan fighting to get to the bottom of it all, but unlike Leo, Paul Ryan will (God willing) become the next Vice President of the United States).

Obama can't even get out the vote in Chicago. Without Chicago, he'll lose Illinois.

Prominent Members of Chicago Black Community: Those closest to Obama know there's no 2nd term

There will be no 2008 sort of turnout for Obozo. Not only is that one-time energy gone, gone too is the 2004 and 2000 Democrat voter energy, and the pro-Clinton energy from 1996 and 1992.

All the Democrats have working for them is an evaporating cesspool of hard-core gays, lesbians, union zombies, and social workers -- loud, nasty, vicious, but dwindling to minimal in actual numbers, and there's lots of overlap in those residual groups.

Another post showed an answering machine demonstrating how the dead-end call defaults to pro-Obama answers.

On and on, the main theme of this bizarre polling frenzy, the bizarre and weightless media complaints about anything Romney -- the commie media pukes are at Armegeddon-level desperation melt-down mode.

I'm predicting that Obozo loses 59% to 39% in the popular vote, with an electoral vote defeat worse than Carter in 1980.

In 2008 there were many freepers who said we should let Obama win, as that would give the sheeple a good taste of what they had bought into, and would lead to a conservative backlash later. That came in 2010, but at a cost which may turn out to be so high and irreversible as to amount to a Pyrrhic victory-- and which bears no guarantee that the Usurper won't win again this November.

Ok, I don’t understand the last statement, last sentence...
Call me stupid....but I can’t see how the 2010 win will cause Obozo to win...
I think the People wanted grid lock, voted in Tea Partiers in the House and will seal the deal by getting rid of Obozo....I hope.

Being "surrounded" by our racial/cultural future hasn't changed the political orientation of NY or NJ (the latter having more immigrants per capita than CA). You do have spatial segregation in suburbia, as even the tolerant lib breeders want to preserve their "precious school districts."

Maybe I should just stay in Brazil.

Exactly. Your post covered it all!

” They’ll wake up and say “0BAMA WON! YAY US! YAY ‘PURE’ CONSERVATISM! YAY America’s gonna die now and prove our point!’”

Obama won’t advance conservatism while in office, but he might save the economy. It’s all we have. Our country would collapse under Obama, or at least it would never be the same again. Also, homosexuality and abortion will triumph under Obama, while the military (whats left of it) will be all but destroyed.

I was wrong, there are just too many uninformed voters who believe silver tongued orators and their mpty promises.
