Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone,... and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.
-John Quincy Adams
NO! We must vote Romney! All those ‘purists people keep posting about like Adams and Paine and Washington....what do they know? It’s not like anyone ever threatened their lives or livelyhood is it? Sheesh!
This is Obama we’re talking about here. He could do something BAD! Those old dead guys NEVER had to deal with any real threat to their lives/families/country like OBAMA!!!
You are wasting your time, I could care less what you think or write. You are entitled to your thoughts and opinion, and....I am entitled to mine. This is still a free country!!! As for upcoming POTUS results, only time will tell.
One word!!! Reality!!!
I generally agree with you. Have only made it through ~15% of this thread, and have already observed what can only be described as a circular firing squad. We claim to be conservatives, yet conservatives are being routinely desparaged here based on scant evidence. There are also numerous posts alleging the need for “saving” the Republican Party, but that disgusts me to some degree because I abandoned the party a decade and a half ago for good cause (Newt and Trent), and see no rational reason to return. I’m now unaffiliated with any party and will vote for the lesser of the evils put before me which I believe represents the attitude of most of us Tea Partyers.
Moreover, I almost got banned some weeks ago for calling fellow Freepers ill-advised names out of frustration, but now we have Jim doing the same thing on this thread with ample support from others. WTF is going on here???
Freepers have made a significant impact, but not so much as the various Tea Party factions, and I sure would hate to see Free Republic disintegrate internally due to sometimes petty disagreements about the ultimate objectives involved in taking our country back from the insidious, antiAmerican “progressives”! If this gets me ZOTTED, so be it...

BTW Windflier, I just noticed we exchanged private emails back on 12/23/2010. We are in the same area code. I hope your business is doing exceptionally well.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? That you'll support the liberal Republican over the liberal Democrat? Excuse me, but No F***king Thank You. I will not willingly give away the last remaining portion of my God-given rights to informed self-determinism.
This is war. No different than what our forefathers waged against King George III. I will NOT accept a Socialist for my president, so help me GOD, come what may!
Sure I do. You’re talking about political suicide. I’m still supporting Newt and hoping he can stop Romney and have a convention floor fight... but I will NOT sit out the Presidential election in favor of the Marxist Usurper. Period. And I don’t care who rails against me.
You sound unhinged.
We're hanging in there, no thanks to Obama and his sycophants on the left, AND the right. Life has been a struggle since that man usurped the office of president.
I once had a business. Now I'm simply 'self employed'. Big difference.
So let him buy his way thru the General Election as well! The heck with votes...he doesn't need them.
Reagan said the democrat party left him. Has the Republican party left conservatives? Quite possibly. After this election, anything can happen. Whoever wins, conservatives will be holding the bag 'cause they didn't have a dog in the fight.
Man, I'd give anything to have a fire-breathing conservative to go up against this stinking Marxist administration in this election. Someone to stand up for America. Someone to stand up for freedom. Less government= More freedom= More America.
The more I think about this, after reading/participating in the several thousand posts over the last 3 threads on this topic, It has to happen this way.
These people have to reap the rewards of voting Romney. After the whole country collapses with him in charge (Thanks to Obama’s bubble bursting on his watch and he has no plan to change it) and the utter chaos that will be blamed on the Republicans, after they lose everything in the rioting et all to follow, after they have time to dwell on the fruits of their labor, perhaps then we can count on them to remember that principles are worth fighting for and lesser evil is still evil.
Or not. Because they would have to admit their folly. And if they can’t now, they sure as heck will not then.
Typical response from a neutered, head in the weeds, Republi-bot. Your forefathers look upon you in shame and loathing. They did not deserve such progeny as you.
Jeez.
Yep, you called it. I will support the liberal Republican over the liberal Democrat, because they are not the same thing. Romney isn’t a socialist. Obama is.
The last couple of posts I sent were my attempt to be respectful and make peace. Is that okay with you?
You're a fool, in that case. Choosing Romney over Obama is no choice at all. They're near-identical twins, politically.
All the name calling on here sounds just like the libtards. I’ll bet they are laughing their asses off at this fratricide here. Pretty sad.
OMG.... Is this truly the level of abject insanity that we've come to? If so, then we are truly lost, and the way forward will be paved with the blood of tyrants and patriots.
Okay, man. You win.
