To: Logical me

I seriously doubt anyone on fr thought Obama was better. The reality whether you can accept it or not is that Romney is a liberal. Period. Why would any conservative vote for a liberal? It goes against commonsense, is idiotic, and illogical. If there is no conservative candidate then one should not vote. That is logic. I guarantee you liberals don’t vote for conservatives. Go peddle your hate on d.u.

YOUR candidate was a bold-faced liar, unless you believe a man can change all of his opinions on a dime at the moment he decides he wants to be President.

I happen not to believe that.

He was not my candidate. I spent my time attacking Obama, I had nothing good to say about your candidate.

>Obama ONLY became pRes_ _ent because of Romney’s vicious
2008 sabotage.<

I really liked Duncan Hunter back in the day. But, he wasn’t exactly a ball of fire. Looking at the present day situation, could we have found ourselves in a nightmare scenario had John McCain been elected?

Why do you have such a stupid expectation? Because you are angry that we're correct and are calling you out on your own laziness to do your own due diligence?

Bingo!

Which means, afraidfortherepublic, that you have neither a teachable heart, or the desire to learn, or the desire for an honest debate on these issues because you REFUSE to admit when you are wrong when confronted with historical evidence that refutes your position.

Which really puts the question whether or not you really are a conservative into play!

Two issues with this piece:

1. Did Romney really even lose? I suspect if the votes were tallied honestly he would have won.

2. It’s not even that Romney was “right” the way Einstein was right about relativity or Churchill was “right” about Germany in the 1930’s. Romney was just spouting positions opposite to those of Hussein what any thinking person with a brain would have come to after a nanosecond or two of noodling. Obamacare is a bad idea? Really? You don’t say.

How about believing what our candidate said and using your influence to keep him on the straight and narrow?

I sure wish I thought you were joking. I am sad to say I know that you wrote the above in all seriousness and incredible ignorance of observation. That you think conservatives would have had any influence on Romney, is ... well, breathtakingly ignorant, totally blind of current and past events, short-sighted, and naively idealistic.

Well then I expect you two to throw your hats into the ring for President and VP next cycle.

At least one Freeper actually did.

No, because Jesus once told an angry crowd, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.”

Same advice for you. If you don’t like our candidates, run yourself and let us judge your credentials.

People say many things during the course of a campaign. People also change their opinions over the years. It is up to us to discern their statements. I would give a candidate who is 85% of what I want the benefit of the doubt over one who is only 5% of what I want (breathing and on the golf course). There is just no comparison.

Did you work for Santorum, if you didn’t like Romney? Who was your candidate?

Agreed. That’s why I said I haven’t seen a dream candidate since 1980. Bush, Dole, Bush II, McCain, Romney. Its sad that the “conservative” party produces these candidates.

I still maintain that he is a decent man, unlike the candidate you gave us by default — Obama.

NO! Romney's back-stabbing primary campaign gave us Obama. Your failure to vote in the primary for an honest conservative is to blame for Obama!

That whiny "blame shifting" gets really old. Mitt's attitude of superiority and arrogance in believing in his god-given right to "save the constitution" kept Obama in the WH. Mitt (and voters like you) believed that he was "chosen" and didn't have to work for it!

And how’s that working out for you? Do you think Obama thinks of himself as weakened? Remove your rose colored glasses, if you do.

Could I interest you in used car? I figure if you're willing to buy all of his lies then you'll buy anything. I'd like a shot at your money before someone else fleeces you out it. And you seriously think you were going to force him to do anything after he got your vote? He would have left you sticky, broke and confused. And you would be here making every excuse for him after showing his true colors.

How do you know whom I voted for in the Primary? I voted for Santorum, although he wasn’t even on the ballot any more because our primary is so late (August, or September).

Jesus also warned that those who lead little ones astray are very, very bad dudes. In constant pushing and enabling of homosexual groupsm, THAT IS WHAT ROMNEY DID and continued to promote even during his campaign.

You voted to promote and raise that creature, and I refused to. DEAL WITH IT and have the honesty, please, to stop throwing in straw man "arguments" like "run yourself if you don't like our candiates!" and "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." ROMNEY WANTED TO USE GOVERNMENT TO ENABLE SIN!

Hello??????????????

You problem is that your candidate has a proven historical record of changing his positions from week to week based on political wind-changes and also lying about his past actions and policy positions.

Once again, either you are ignorant of Romney's record(which doesn't seem that probable given you are a freeper), purposefully ignoring it, or flat-out lying.

That truth right there should make any professing Christian stop dead in their tracks about supporting a creep like Romney either before or after the election.

just explain to me how Romney earned my vote by being a flip flopper on every issue I care about?

He spoke plenty lies too. That was his problem. Mixed truth with lies so much you could never trust anything he said. Ask him the same question twice and he’d give you the opposite answer.

We don’t need a candidate like that, ever.
