Textbook answer from DU... you cannot refute a statement with facts, so cast an insult...
What has happened to FR? This election has apparently caused the concept of "standing up for Conservative Values" to disappear from this board. Maybe the left has truly won the victory no matter who is elected in November - because by insuring that a ultra socialist runs against a moderate, with real conservatism thrown out the window, they have caused those that once were sincere and dedicated Conservatives to become all mealy-mouthed just like the RINOs that we love to rag on.
Last election, folks started talking up 3rd party because Dems and Repubs had left Constitution-loving Conservatives without a solid candidate. They were shot down with the suggestion to "change the Republican Party by working with and in the Republican Party". So what did we end up with? Something far less Conservative than we had before, a party that is actually picking up speed moving further and further to the Left.
And here so many on FR are swallowing the liberal Kool-Aid and just saying - party at all costs. Kind of reminds me of all the crazy folks who are planning on voting for Obama - because of his race, not because of his platform, experience, viewpoints, or other applicable qualifications (if any).
We blindly vote for the "Not Obama" or the "Not Hillary" candidate, no matter what that gets us - reduced Liberty, further erosion of the dollar, out of control government spending, and no energy policy - just to name a few things.
I am so disappointed. I am as Anti-Obama as anyone. But I am sick and tired of "those in power" deciding who I am voting for (because I am only give two choices - bad or really bad).
Maybe another way to look at it - much as the WWJD fad, lets think in terms of what would our Founding Fathers Think? Those same founding fathers who believed in liberty, tempered and controlled by faith in God.
All this anti-Mitt bashing has been going on for months and during the primaries. The anti’s have stated their misguided opinions and have used left wing news sources such as the Concord Monitor and New York Times to back up their ill found logic.
Romney Care has been taken over by the dimocRATS in the state and have taken it in a direction that Mitt would not have. I know you guys want to blame Mitt for the dimocRATS misdeeds but you have to be fair about it. This has all been hashed out in the previous months and I'm not about go over old ground again.
