What’s sad is that a lot of Freepers even after reading this will still vote for Mitt if he gets the nomination, and rationalize it by thinking anything is better than Obama.
Soth Carolina - is Newt land
What would you suggest we do instead, vote third-party? Stay home? Convince ourselves that 4 more years of Obama (no longer constrained by any re-electability concerns) would be better than 4 (or 8) years of Romney?
Count me in. Jimmy Carter is a vicious far Left anti-Semite. But at least he was an American.
No one even knows what Hussein is or where his allegiance lies. He is a shadow man who speaks and behaves as if he has no affiliation with American and no stake in the outcome of anything he does. He has put himself under the jurisdiction of the U.N. He has said that America is no different than any other country in the world, such as France or Kenya. Obama says this kind of stuff because he really doesn't see the difference. It all the same to him.
I think he has to occasionally ask his security attachment what country he's in. “Oh yea, America that's right. We did that election thingy and now I'm the..uuuuh...urr. Yea. I remember now.”
Mitt stinks, but you’d rather have Obama? Wow.
That's because ANYBODY is better than Obama. If Ron Paul was projected to carry the nomination, I would be the happiest little Paultard on my block.
I am TERRIFIED at what would happen to us with 4 yrs of Obama in the WH, not giving a damn about re election.
Apparently, you aren't there yet.
I don’t like Mitt, but the president, himself, is not the entire concern here. Obama surrounds himself with a barrage of leftists, socialists, communists, environmental and sexual fascists within his cabinet and his list of advisers and czars that scare the living daylights out of me. Mitt might be a smidgeon better here.
I didn’t want to pull the lever for McCain, but I did, and thanks to FreeRepublic.com, I’d already vetted Barack Hussein Obama even before he got the nomination. That and the fact that he chose Palin - allowed me to vote for McCain and almost like it. I hope (if Romney gets it) he chooses a running mate that is a conservative.
Truly - I would vote for Mickey Mouse before Obama.
But that doesn't mean we have to like it or even vote for that person. I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to vote for Romney. But don't kid yourself: Obama is uniquely poisonous and dangerous to the Republic. Almost any qualified Republican you could name would be a step up from that evil bastard. How you choose to deal with that fact is entirely up to you.
...”What’s sad is that a lot of Freepers even after reading this will still vote for Mitt if he gets the nomination, and rationalize it by thinking anything is better than Obama.”
Wow... In other words, you’re saying you think Obama is BETTER than Mitt.
Haven’t you realized yet that Presidential elections ALWAYS force us to vote for THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS??
Other than Reagan, I’ve never seen anything but a “Lesser than two evils election.”
Though George Shrub wasn’t an evil person, he was pathetically inarticulate and folksy so was an easy target for the liberal media. I voted for him rather than Albore or KetchupKingKerry.

Do you realize that if you stand out this election in a stubborn protest against a repub candidate you don’t like, you’re giving one vote, by default, to the Marxist? You do realize that, don’t you?
YES, I’m in the “ANYTHING BUT OBAMA CAMP,” aren’t you???
If there is no other choice other than an anti-Obama vote (and assuming the other choice is even more pathetic like Reverend Wright, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackwagon), YOU VOTE FOR THE MORE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE.
What am I missing here? Seems like you want Obama for 4 more years rather than a Repub you don’t like. Do you realize that the country may not survive that?
Yes, I’ve heard the tripe about how “Mitt will tarnish the reputation of conservatives, so we can’t choose him, but better to have Oblamer for another 4 years.”
But face it: 1) Mitt will primarily tarnish the reputation of Mitt, and 2) Conservative image has already been tarnished by George Shrub.
Get real, dude.
