“I actually have a friend who thought similarly about McCain, and so voted for Obama. A lot of good that did us all.”
Then your friend accepted the binary decision-making failure.
The bigger issue is that the GOPe has strongly supported a candidate who has routinely supported evil, is not a conservative and participates in an anti-Christian religion. Totally outside my control. I’m not completely convinced McCain would have led to a better long-term result than Zero.
...
When you support a candidate that supports evil, you discourage the base.
When you discourage the base, they don’t work, give or vote.
When they don’t work, give or vote, you are out of power.
When you are out of power, you sit at home more watching cable TV.
When you watch the lame programing on cable, you get depressed.
When you get depressed, you to to motivational workshops.
When you go to motivational workshops, you feel self-confident.
When you feel self-confident, you go to Vegas and bet wildly.
When you bet wildly in Vegas, you end up sleeping on a park bench.
When you sleep on a park bench, you end up selling your hair to a wig shop to get enough money to go home.
When you sell your hair to a wig shop, you look like Karl Rove...
Don’t support candidates that support evil.
I’m no legal beagle (and shoot me if I ever start to change professions), but I have yet to figure why the whole licenses/fees gimmick can be help up as ‘good’ for guns, but using the same logic vs. voting...it’s a ‘poll tax’ and ‘not-good’
Exercising a right that is fee’d to death cannot be construed as a right IE: infringed.
I have two words for you: Wise Latina.
We can live in the real world or in a dream world. The damage done to our country by Obama has been severe, really severe. It started on Day One when he sent the bust of Winston Churchill packing. If you don't think, especially in retrospect, that this was a Big FU Western Civilization, then you're not playing with a full deck.
These are times which try men's souls.

“I have two words for you: Wise Latina.”
I have two responses.
... First, if the Republicans had Senators with BALLS and convictions, it wouldn’t have happened. The Presidency can’t fix the party. It is filled with RINOs and RINO lovers, who want Mitt to lead them to higher levels of RINOdumb.
... Second, Gov. RINOmney appointed 75% non-republican, liberal, gay and abortion leaning judges. How wise was that? How much conservative conviction did it show? Just imagine how he will promote all kinds of silly liberal things with Executive power. And the RINOs will gladly hold his hand and sing songs of glee as he does it. At least with Zero, they are “somewhat” in opposition.
Sorry, no scare sale.
Mitt is a turd. Obama is a turd. You can’t freshen up the punchbowl by scooping out one turd and throwing in a new one...
As governor of Massachusetts, Romney signed a ban on assault weapons, at the time saying "These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all."" -- President Ronald Reagan
All too true. Unfortunately, to many here, as long as a ‘Republican’ wins it’s all good...
Though the current Republicans in Congress haven’t said a peep about recess appointments, F&F, etc. Why would they be up in arms with their own team helping promote BIG gov’t?
I’m surprised the brow beating, being a Libertarian, hasn’t commenced just yet for my insubordinate thinking *off to the Republican ‘training’ camp*
As if the turds currently in Congress, church mice-like currently, will hold the line to anything Mitt would push...
They think I’m pulling the level for Kerry, Jr., for the party, they can kiss my rosy-red ass. Principled, indeed.
Neah. We still hate him. We just hate Obama more. And we’re trying hard to find some sort of silver lining.
Unfortunately, everything about Mitt that looks like a silver lining usually turns out to be, at best, tin.
If he thinks Romney was a disaster, wait until he sees what Pres. Obama’s second term is going to be like...
Barring a miracle at the ‘Pubbie convention, we’re not getting any good choices this year.
Take a look and see why Rick Santorum received an A+ NRA rating:
‘“He [Rick Santorum] was the most effective advocate of bringing it [legislation to protect gun companies from frivolous lawsuits] to the floor and getting a vote scheduled. He used his influence to get it to the floor. Without that, we would have lost every American gun company.”
– Wayne LaPierre, CEO – National Rifle Association, October 25, 2006’
excerpt http://www.ricksantorum.com/defending-2nd-amendment-rights
It looks like, according to Wayne LaPierre, we would have lost every gun manufacturer in the U.S.A. if it weren’t for Santorum. Let’s keep this in mind the next time Rick Santorum is the presidential nominee.
Just thought I’d add this great story as more incentive to vote for, and support, pro-Second Amendment rights politicians:
“Gun-toting grandma fights off armed robbery with .38-caliber revolver
Posted by The Right Scoop on April 24th, 2012

she said she heard a voice in her head whisper to her to get into the front seat and lock the door. She immediately did, and she said that likely saved her life.
Seconds later, two men carrying guns approached her. One of them, later identified by police as Brenton Lance Spencer, 32, started to shout at her through the front passenger door to open the vehicle up and give him her money. The other, whom Macon police have identified as Dantre Horatio Shivers, 30, stood in front of the truck, also pointing a gun.
“(Spencer) shouted, ‘Give me the f—— money and open the f—— door!’ ” Campbell said. “I said, ‘Oh my God, somebody is going to rob me.’ I said, ‘Baby, you’re going to kill me anyway, so I don’t have to open it!’ ”
Campbell said she reached for her .38-caliber revolver just as Spencer allegedly fired at her. She felt Spencer’s bullet whiz by her chest as she fired back. Her shot hit Spencer in the chest.”

It looks like Heaven, and her gun, saved this brave lady.
