I'm getting tired of the back and forth. If not with you, with others.
My Primary Vote is for Newt. If Newt drops out by the June Primary in my State of CA, I will write him in if it won't invalidate my Ballot. I will not Vote for Romney in the Primary. I would check off the box next to Ron Paul first.
In the General, I go with the Republican Candidate against Obama. That's it. I follow the Levin rule, Anybody but Obama.
You and others here disagree while others agree with my viewpoint. This posting back and forth between the two factions accomplishes nothing.
As a fellow Freeper, I respect your opinion. I hope you treat me and others who disagree with your viewpoint with the same courtesy.
Good night Norm.
Your conscience, your vote, your choice.
I understand where you're coming from and how you see what you've decided as being pragmatic.
In a way, I wish I could be pragmatic in the same way about the mission at hand which is to be rid of Obama. Bishop Romney is not pro-Life. He's just playing games so that if he's elected he can yammer out the time tested hokum of, "I have to enforce the laws as they exist and represent all the people, not just those who agree with me". Voting for Bishop Romney is voting to ensure that there's not even a slow down at the fascist ovens they call abortion centers. That, in turn, means voting for Bishop Romney is voting to sacrifice lives to accomplish the mission.
The trouble is, I've already used up all my pragmatism trying to spend the minimum number of lives to accomplish the mission. My life to accomplish the mission, fine, so be it. But since I'm not active military, I refuse to go along with sacrificing one man, woman, child, or embryo, to accomplish the mission. Anyone who honestly thinks we should be dickering over how many lives we have to sacrifice to accomplish the mission is wasting their time worrying about who to vote for anyway. If that's really the case, voting is the least of our worries, in fact, if that's the case voting is a bad joke at best. Given that I don't yet consider voting to be a joke, I refuse to vote for anyone who doesn't have a pro-Life record rather than a convenient election year pro-Life conversion.
When all is said and done, Christ is in control and the bill is due for the "Christian" majority in this country ignoring millions upon millions of murders. If voting into office a different Humanist fascist were sufficient payment, we'd be looking at better choices. In fact, I think Newt is in the wings just so no one can ever say, "we didn't have any alternative".
