You remind me of my husband, DrO. We engage in likeminded discussions because we have 7 grandchildren whose futures we're both deeply concerned about. Unlike me he's not voting in this election, so his pro-Romney side is meant to either enforce or break my position.

Critical thinking is always extremely important, but obedience to God is imperative.

I cannot support Romney for several reasons, namely a liar can never be trusted; but also including the manner which he has "sniked" his way to his almost inevitible way to the GOP-E nomination, by trashing, bashing, and lying about his rivals, --- literally spending all but $2 Million out of $45 Million in vicious attack ads against Gingrich to first stop him in Iowa when he was running away with the election in Iowa and nationally according to every poll, and then more reccently against Santorum. He was much more effective against Gingrich, likely because voters caught onto his trash, and Santorum was a very lucky surprise who caught Romney off guard and caused him to spend the extra $20 Million.

I put most of the blame on the stupid, short-sighted electorate for falling for the attack ads they claim to hate and on the media with its lust for the horse race and never ending polls, which are meant to influence voters, not to inform voters of anything relevant. Open primaries are another sore spot altogether.

So just who is this Romney? Strange that he used all that money attacking his Conservative rivals but only spent less than $2 Million promoting himself or his visions and solutions for a better America.

Also strange, that he could not bring himself to call The Marxist Obama, a socialist but we're supposed to believe that if he's the nominee, he's really going to take it to Obama...LOL.

The GOP-E including the TV pundits are arrogantly counting on conservatives to do the right thing again: vote against Obama.

SCOTUS is at stake. Our Republic is at stake. We get it!

Now is not the time to crumble, but the time to stand strong on principle, virtue, integrity and by God, a whole lot of *ARE*!

The primaries aren't over yet! Newt Gingrich remains in the race, just like he said he would from the beginning. A brokered convention is not yet out of the realm of possibility. Vote for Newt and keep praying!

God bless you all, God Bless our Founder and Leader and Long Live Free Republic.

WE ARE IN REBELLION!

Quote Link “In the wake of the devastating Detroit riots of the summer of 1967, Michigan Gov. George Romney, a liberal Republican, met the radical organizer Saul Alinsky to discuss the grievances of the urban black poor,” he explained.

Photos of the meeting can be found in the archives of the Library of Congress.

Kaczynski noted that a book on George Romney quotes the former Michigan governor telling his allies, “I think you ought to listen to Alinsky.”

Political analyst and think-tank researcher Steve Baldwin believes that Mitt Romney was definitely impacted by his father’s association with Alinsky.

@ post 1012 - wow, I will never be able read all of these.

I won’t dispute a thing you said about Mitt Romney. I am depressed about his seemingly inevitable nomination although I truly feel like our nation is too far gone for any single politician to fix. I don’t expect him to reverse the downward trend of our nation and government.

I had a long drive today for work and thought about this. I stand by what I previously said regarding SCOTUS because, as horrifying as it sounds, that is the only thing holding our current government leaders back - and I include most of the GOP in Congress with that statement.

I am in Washington state on the conservative side. If Romney runs the uninspiring campaign that I expect it is unlikely that my vote will count since the Seattle/Olympia left coast corridor rules statewide elections.

I won’t spend time on this site trying to pursuade any person to vote for a particular candidate. We are all adults that make our own decisions and our children will live with it.

I think our nation is finished. I can’t see a pursuasive path to cut entitlement spending and the size/power of government. That would take a generation to accomplish and the handout crowd will mobilize when they get cut off and take back power within 2 years. I don’t think “insert your dream candidate here” can fix it. That is just the way I see it.

If Romney nominates a couple of lukewarm Justices that may give us a few more years to get the hobby farm built up. The extra time to prepare for what may be coming will not be wasted. I won’t be voting for him. I will be voting against the other guy.

I believe we should be able to discuss issues in a reasonable manner. Thank you for believing the same and each of us should do what we believe is best. May God bless you and yours.

Thank you for the note, Onyx.

I agree we need to be very careful voting for a person with a history of untruthfulness, though the reality is that many politicians have that problem.

One virtue of a reputation for bluntness is it gives the speaker the freedom to be forthright rather than polite.
