Vanity: RINOmny or Zero....other something else?
1-29-12 | VMIVol00

Posted on 01/29/2012 10:56:41 AM PST by vmivol00

I'm just curious as to what folks are thinking....

If it comes down to Romney vs. Obama (socialist vs. socialist), what will you do?

If Paul were to go 3rd party, what would you do?

How about if Palin were to go 3rd party (not going to happen I know...just curious how it would be received here)

Before anyone accuses me of being a Paulbot or Romneybot, check my posting history. I'm all in for Newt.

I just know that I will never cast a vote for Romney, however I will still support GOP Reps and Senators. In my mind Romney is just as bad as Obama. In some ways he is worse for conservatives because he will push his liberal, pro abortion, gun grabbing views and they will be labeled as conservative in the media. Romney will also push moderates/liberals into GOP leadership positions. The damage to the conservative cause will be incredible.

Beyond not voting for Romney, I'm not sure what I will do. I might write in Newt, leave the Presidential portion blank, or vote 3rd party.

Anyway, I'm curious to read others thoughts.

Let's hope Newt carries the fight forward and this little Romney nightmare scenario never comes to be.

What will you do when Newt and Sarah ask us to do it?

I will never vote for Romney. I will spend my time working for a new party. I am done with the republican party. When they viciously go after one of the own like this and directly and silently then I am done with them. I will change my registration as soon as the primary in NC is done, just in case Newt is still on it.

If Palin, Newt, Rand Paul, Cain, West, and a couple of other “names” would join together to form a Conservative party, I really think it could happen.

Of course the GOP will play the “splitting the GOP vote empowers the Dems” card. I’m not sure there is much difference in the GOP leadership and the Dems. So that argument really doesn’t matter to me.

I'm not so sure that Romney will be the nominee. A lot will happen between now and the convention, so my hope is that Newt will be the nominee.

I voted for Newt in the primary, and I will absolutely not vote for Romney. I will throw my vote to a conservative pro-life candidate, either third party or write-in. We've already seen what we get when Romney is in charge.

If that were the case, I would not vote for either and do everything I could to ensure a Republican House and Senate.

Romney cannot beat Obama. Obama will still get 42% - 47% of the vote even from the liberals that hate him because they refuse to vote for something other than a Democrat.

Romney has about 20% and there is another 20% that has floated from Palin to Cain to Perry to Newt and Santorum THAT WILL NOT GO OVER TO ROMNEY.

To put my hypothesis is layman terms - we are screwed.

While the President in our system and particularly Obama’s system has tremendous power, the congress and the American people wield power as well. Vote TEA Party down-line in every instance, school board, city, county, etc. and let your voice be heard, locally and socially and we will win out.

DO not not vote for the (R). Obama is certain death.

A president can be held hostage by the will of the people.

I have no loyalty to Sarah, Newt, or any politician...only to their conservative ideas.

Never put your faith in the man above the ideas. The man will ALWAYS disappoint you.

I will not vote for Romney under any circumstances.

I just don't know. I really do feel disenfranchised.

I'll never vote for Mitt.

I’ll vote in all the local and state elections. May write in Sarah or someone. NO to Mittens, NO to Paul and besides those 2 I can’t imagine there would be anyone if it wasn’t Newt.

I agree. I too feel disenfranchised and there are many more like us.

To use a frequently repeated quote, “I didn’t leave my party, they left me” That may not be 100% correct and I’m not sure who said it, but that describes me and the Republican party.

If it is Romney vs. Obama, conservatives need to find and encourage a credible third-party candidate to run. If one does and gets a significant percentage of the vote, it will send a necessary message to the powers that be within the Republican party.

Romney will ultimate do more harm to conservatism than Obama. His Presidency will be the national disaster the Schwarzenegger governorship was for California.

Not because he is a RINO, but because he is scum.

He is lying scum that can't be trusted on a single issue.

“Romney will ultimate do more harm to conservatism than Obama. His Presidency will be the national disaster the Schwarzenegger governorship was for California.”

Having lived in CA through the Governator years...that’s an outstanding analogy.

The fiscal train wreck is approaching and it cannot be stopped by any Presidential incumbent.
