This is exactly why, when conservatives sit on the sideline awaiting the 100% pure candidate, we damage ourselves. Election have consequences and this is one - the ability to select Supreme Court Justices who will sit for life. Look at the ages of Obama's picks - 55 and 61. They are not going anywhere for years.
Abortion, gay marriage, assaults upon Christianity... and we dare to sing God Bless America. Why would he bless us when we spit in his eye.
“We had the ability to shift the court with a Republican president.”
Too bad the GOPe chose a Republican in Name Only.
Acronyms mean things.
Unless in a SC case.
“Words mean things. “
Except in a SCOTUS case.
Ain’t that the truth. Oh well. Just more lesser evil so many freepers demanded and got.
It’s the party of, “Something for everyone”.
“Lesser evil”
The second word in that phrase is key. ;)
I’ve heard the conspiracy theories about Cruz’s wife and her job. I dismiss them.
The Consensus on Free Republic is that Romney as President would have been just as bad as Obama, or worse. Remember, consensus is now fact.
I’m pretty sure the Memo went out some time ago.
The Debate is over, just like the National Debate on Gay Marriage, Obamacare and Global Warming.
Time to start another Cute Kitten Video Thread.
It’s a verry Whoppi Goldberg term believed by people who think like Whoppi Goldberg.
Rape-Rape. / Lesser evil.
They are interchangable too.
Lesser rape is logically better than Rape Rape right?
Lesser murder must me better than regular murder. Probably doesn’t hurt as much or you get to come back to tell the family good bye.
Lesser pedophillia must apply to either different acts or older kids.
Lesser bestiality likely involves squirrels.
So if ‘lesser evil is a legitimate conservative value, why not the above too? It’s not as pedo or bestial or rapey or murdery so it has to be better.
No consensus needed. Just a look at his record.
Who’s record, Obama’s?
Of course not! And I resent the implication I was totally focused on her rather impressive principles. I am a conservative afterall...
Do you not remember the side by side comparison Jim had posted for a number of YEARS on the front page of FR???
Except for the 2014 election … the GOPe have done nothing to stop Obama and the Dems.
The Republicans are as culpable as the Dems.....I have no more time for GOP Establishment talking points.
And getting beyond politics and party labels, the trend as exemplified by this ruling is towards a Uniparty authoritarian society where the emotional noise of false debate between D’s and R’s is a distraction from the tyranny that oppresses us.
Look up the definition o f”Conspiracy”. You have been BRAINWASHED to feel “uncomfortable” when almost anything smacks at the idea of “conspiracy” when every political action can be labeled a “conspiracy”.
Like Machiavelli stated-—you need to kill people to retain power. Stalin followed Machiavelli to a “T”. So does Clinton-—although she is sloppy. So does Obama and total control of “information” is crucial and that total control was ONLY broken with the internet. Solzhenitsyn told us in 78 that our MSM was worse than Pravda.
It is called “Cognitive Dissonance” when you are exposed to Truth-—that is how the KGB brainwashing works (public school programming) to prevent people from finding out the Truth/God-because Truth will set you Free.
BTW-—you have to SEEK the TRUTH-—always——that is all I have been doing for 15 years. You don’t take in anything that MSM feeds you without research of original sources-—MSM is all for the control of your emotions so you “feel” although you never will Know. MSM is basically a waste of time—like Ray Bradbury stated-—it is to addict so you are kept from Truth.
Come OUT of Plato’s Cave-—we need you!!!!! Plato warned that MOST people will never be able to come out of the Cave....but you CAN-—with READING the GREAT BOOKS (Machiavelli especially) and Cicero and everyone who predicted that government is Evil and Power corrupts absolutely.
It is in ALL of the history. We have been fed Lies since JP Morgan bought all the influential AP outlets in early 1900 and founded Foundations to bribe and control all text books, media, and “perceptions” of little children in the “public” indoctrination school. As GK Chesterton stated, all Mandatory “education” was created for the destruction of Common Sense (Reason) in the Common people.
Your “uncomfortable” emotions that arise when you “hear” the word Conspiracy was PROGRAMMED in you as most emotions, if you “watch” MSM or were in public schools, which just embed proper emotions—so your will always reject Truth/God. Those emotions are not Rational esp. when you understand WHAT a conspiracy really is. Most things could be classified as a “conspiracy”.
Wittgenstein——who ever controls Words can control the proper emotions of the ignorant masses. Educate yourself. Brietbart had a great platform and could not be bribed—so he had to go. He could affect how the young intellectuals “thought’ because he understood Leftist tactics. He HAD to be killed.

Well Norm, I don’t really care.
If you and others think that a Romney Presidency would have lead us where we are TODAY, then there is nothing I can say.
I wanted Newt, we got Romney. It didn’t work out and here we are. I’m not even sure what these Threads accomplish coming from either side. The damage is done and nobody here owns a Time Machine.
I have nothing left to Post on this Thread. Have a good day.
Cruz was out first and warned us about all the pretenders that would follow him and they have come out of the woodwork.
@fwdude - “Incidentally, we would have seen this same outcome with Romney in the WH. Yes, that election would have similarly had consequences.”
@SpeakerToAnimals - “The lesser evil you champion is still evil”
The problem is you’re only half right in making that comment about EVIL. You want a PERFECT candidate in a system where it is IMPOSSIBLE for current US demographics to elect a perfect conservative candidate. Be realistic about the context we’re in.
And Dude, there were ONLY TWO choices in 2012. You IMPLICITLY CHOSE Obama over Romney by not voting AGAINST Obama! What is so difficult to understand about that?
I don’t like RINOs either, but when the choice is between 100% evil and 50% or less evil, I will take the 50%.
Aside from Obama’s Marxist economic failures and socioeconomic fascism, one of the major failings of the Bork Obunga Regime is his seeming alliance with the Muzzies and his alienating our allies like Israel. We Americans will be suffering for this for DECADES!!!!
And I fault those 3.5M “conservatives” who essentially voted for Obama by not voting against him.
You might recall that Romney was strong on defense. I recall he boldly said in a debate when the subject of Guantanamo came up: “I’d like to DOUBLE the population at Guantanamo!” He knew that wasn’t a “popular thing to say.” So there are some elements of Romney, especially foreign policy & economics that are far superior to Ovomit.
Here’s the vid (at 0:40):

(compare and contrast that with Bork Obunga).
I wager that we wouldn’t be in this bad of an international situation with Romney in charge (whether or not you want to nitpick about his Romneycare, etc).
For you to think otherwise is simply delusional. Wake up and smell the coffee.
I wouldn’t hold my nose for Dole, McCain or Romney. Now the very real possibility of Clinton or Sanders in WH I am just interested in who can beat them. I doubt a strong conservative can, the country has moved to far left. Clinton as president will be worse than Obama.
