"At least Jefferson was honest," said Hamiliton. Looks like you believe Obama is honest. One of two men will be president next year. I prefer Romney you prefer Obama. Why do you have a problem with me pointing out pro Obama Freepers?
You lost the election this year no matter who wins.
I'm a Republican. If Romney wins I'm good. Conservatives tried to stop Romney and proved they don't have to power to nominate a candidate. Just like they failed to stop McCain's nomination in 2008. If Romney wins the election he will owe nothing to conservatives. So you lost the election this year no matter who wins. Put some ice on it. Walk it off. Drink a little.
“I’m a Republican. If Romney wins I’m good.”
So what IS a Republican? You vote like sports fans root for a baseball team. You don’t care as long as the red team wins I guess.
I don’t prefer Obama, I prefer NEITHER, which means I prefer Conservatives. What that means to Republicans, who as you point out, are a far different thing than conservatives, is that Romney is going to lose.
The difference here is I understand, strategically, that Romeny losing is a minimization of the negative impact that this election represents. Obama is going to be bad for the country, but not for Republicans or Conservatives, should there be a country left when he’s done.
Romney would have been bad for the country too, but he would have destroyed both the party and Conservatives.
That’s OK by you, because being Republican and being Conservative are different things.
I’d like to hear your views on those differences. I see room for them, since I’m torn between Obama’s deliberate undermining of our national interests abroad and Romney’s unknowable position on protecting our national interests abroad.
The problem with knowing Romney’s position is that what comes from his mouth isn’t always the truth.
With Romney, it’s “Just the tip, just for a second, just to see how it feels.”
