Just explain to me how I deserved to be saddled with Obama for another term? And look where we are — about to be plunged into WWII and bankrupted, unemployed, and death paneled by Obamacare.
Your high and mighty 3rd party stance is just stupid. Look where it has gotten Raoph Nader and Ross Perot. It is just the folly of dilletantes.
If he was wrong about absolutely everything, he’d still be a better president than the guy we got now.
I didn’t mention a 3rd party.
I would no more vote for a lefty Republican than a lefty Democrat.
Yet, you are so eager to attach "blame" to many other FReepers for Romney's loss whether or not they may or may not have voted for the liberal in RINO clothing?
Sheesh, talk about a disconnect.
In some states, it absolutely DID NOT matter whether one voted for the 0assclown or Romney or Mickey Mouse. It was a "done deal".
Quit projecting blame onto other FReepers for the results of an election that for all appearances was fraught with fraud and an electorate that relishes feeding at the trough.
Get over it...your constant projection of "blame" is divisive, of no value and serves no valid purpose other than to split FReepers along social lines.
Lots of Conservatives in this country grew a pair or a spine and made conscious decisions to stand firm in their values, morals and beliefs and stayed home. I won't stand in judgement of any person who did so. Their conscience led them.
In some states, like mine, it was like spitting into the wind anyway...
In your case, “lemming” is the animal that comes to my mind.
You post #71 confirmed what I said.
Sorry, but it is true, Romney did implement what the legislature would not. Romney instituted same sex marriage in Massachusetts. The courts told the legislature to do it but they were too afraid touch it. Even though no one (neither the courts nor the legislature) told Romney he had to do so, he ordered the clerks of the court to issue marriage licenses.
Since he’s the one who did it, Romney’s the one who is responsible.
Now did he actually officiate at a gay wedding? That I don’t know anything about.
But did he choose two gays raising a child to be celebrated as parents of the year? Yes, he did.
I had in mind the mascot of the Democrat Party for you.
This is Funny! Didn’t anyone else watch the debate on Foreign Policy? Mitt basically agreed with Obama on everything.
Oh, so YOU can make assumptions of other's votes, and cast blame on them, but deny that to others?

The courts told the legislature to do it but they were too afraid touch it. Even though no one (neither the courts nor the legislature) told Romney he had to do so, he ordered the clerks of the court to issue marriage licenses.That's exactly how it played out, and what was really sad and aggravating about that sorry episode in the history of Romney is that what he did was both illegal and unconstitutional as the Massachusetts constitution expressly states that all matters concerning marriage are to originate in the Legislature, and this issue did not.
Stupidity is, again, on YOUR side with regard to "Look where 3rd party got Nader and Perot." HELLO? Because of the third party split both times Clinton got the WH, Clinton was opposed by the majority of American voters, and it was on record for the world to see. AS A RESULT of that very clearly documented lack of popular support, Clinton was steamrolled by the then more-or-less limited-government Republican Revolution in his first term, and he was IMPEACHED during his second term. Neither of those things would have happened if Clinton had won with a majority OR if the Republican opponent had won. Your so-called "folly of dilletantes" served to weaken government tyranny.
Your guy Romney has ONLY EVER served to increase government tyranny. You can vote for more government tyranny and rationalize it any way you want, but your "solution" was as destructive as the problem.
Thinking it through, on the other hand, leads to a smarter and more accurate conclusion.
You do know that he gave free cars and car insurance to welfare recipients in Massachusetts don’t you? He also gave out $50.00 or free abortions.
Every time someone comes up with the he would have helped the economy garbage, all I can see is that we would already have amnesty if he had won. Maybe it’s just me but, I don’t quite imagine free cars for welfare recipients and massive immigration would help the economy one bit. Perhaps Romney believes that immigration is supposed to take the place of all the dead babies from the $50.00 or free abortions.
The other people on this thread claimed that they did NOT support Romney. That’s very different from assuming how I voted in our Wisconsin primary which didn’t mean anything because it is so late in the cycle.
I don’t remember how I voted for Santorum — whether he was still listed on the ballot, or whether I had to write in his name. I just remember that I did vote for him, but I supported Romney after he earned the nomination. Mostly because of Ryan. Obama is SO bad. We just couldn’t afford another term of O. And I was right about that.
The whiners on FR who have b****ed and complained about Romney for years gave us that 2nd term of Obama, either overtly (by voting for him) or covertly (by voting for another and discouraging support for Romney).
It a moot point, however. But I see it starting all over again with the current crop of candidates. Nobody is good enough. Sometimes I think these whiners are DU plants.
Yes, I knew somehow that you did. You are as predictable as you are short-sighted.
Rush Limbaugh shot the GOP in the foot with that one. Instead of commenting on what Fluke actually said, he riffed on an news article that misrepresented a tiny part of her speech, and, doing so, made his 'slut' comment the issue.
Most people, including most people on FR, don't realize Fluke didn't talk about her sex life at all, but told the stories of five other women.
Most of those stories were ridiculous - like the rape victim who didn't go to get an STD test because she assumed nothing involving her lady parts was covered by insurance because contraception wasn't.
We could have won that issue if we'd addressed what Fluke actually said instead of being blown off course by Limbaugh's blather.
OUCH! That's gonna leave a mark! Well said, and a tragedy that it is being said at all. The older I get, the more avidly I believe that abortion is a ghastly abomination, as is "normalzing" the homosexual agenda among children. I view both as EQUALLY horrifically abominable: when government nourishes those moral evils, it is nourishing paths to horrible soul-wracking sin. The aborted baby is murdered, yes, but I believe God then embraces that innocent's soul.
No, the woman who aborted, the doctor who performed the abortion, like the homosexual adult who defends and promotes his/her perversions among children and those innocent children who are then drawn into the perversion, are the real souls in trouble. That we VOTE FOR a government that promotes such moral strife and misery is ... well, a case of morality determining destiny.
I praise God that Americans were moral enough to refuse to pay such a price just to get rid of Obama. While it may not appear so right now, our destiny is BETTER OFF for it.
It’s a little late to be realizing this now. Last Nov 6 and before was the time to vote 0bomber out.
With Romney in the WH, we wouldn’t be favorably comparing the bare-chested Vlad over our own POTUS.
