Churchill didn't give up his values when allying with the devil (Stalin) against Hitler nor did he settle. He just played the best strategic move he had at the time. Hitler was a direct short-term invasionary threat. Stalin could be mitigated in the longer term. Sometimes the direct threat is so great, the alternatives make for strange beadfellows.
It is chess, not checkers.
How can I justify voting for Romney??
That is an easy one. Romney is not a Marxist totalitarian, law breaking thug. Nor is he a liar and he is a patriot.
Before I respond, is there really any way to change your mind? Or is this thread another battle ground for egocentric conservatives to flame each other and create division?
I'll give you my honest and polite response after you answer the first question. If your first answer is no, then I ask what is the purpose of your post? Are you doing research? Are you trying to convince others not to vote for Romney.
The biggest victory for the GOP and Romney being the candidate is the splitting of groups like FR and the Tea Party. I don't understand why the GOP is so blind, but the old guard is.
Like my yard sign says every election “VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICAN”.
I can't stand Mitt, but do you folks really think that he is a true believer like Zero? Do you think Mitt wants to take America down a notch like Zero does? Do you think that Mitt hates what this country stands for?
My duty as I see it is to ensure that the least harm comes from this election and taking my ball and going home just because I don't get my way is not the answer. Fight for a conservative in the primary and in all local elections. But, in the general election, staying home and not voting is the mathematical equivalent to voting for Zero and I won't do that.
I believe Obama hated America. I believe he is a Marxist if not an actual Communist. He is grabbing power through illegitimate executive orders and setting up others to represent his radical positions when it is politically dangerous for him to do so directly.
Internationally, he has turned over the middle east and south Asia to the radical Muslim Brotherhood.
Romney was not my candidate. I would have voted for Satah Palin with full-throated enthusiasm and voted for Newt Gingrich in the primary. But I believe Romney’s vision of America is of a positive, strong, capitalist and free country. To me there is no question but that I have to vote for Romney in 2012 and pray for his victory and wise administration of our nation.
One can’t and I don’t.
How does one justify a vote for Romney?
HE’S NOT ROMNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is important to NOT vote for a socialist Emperor
who thinks he is a deity — of EITHER party.
That BOTH candidates are ineligible and similar
is not coincidence.
That BOTH candidates support DEATH PANELS is pathetic.
Eric Holder, Van Jones, Napolitano, Kagan, Chu, Geithner, Corzine, Gentsler, Salazar, Hillary, Fast n Furious, Solyndra, Solar Trust, First Solar, La Hood, and on and on and on
That is how i justify it. I want all these thugs gone!
How does one justify a vote for Romney?
Good bad or indifferent but one word can answer your question for many people.
That word being .... OBAMA .....
This post kinda makes you wonder if there are infiltrators in our midst...
“Passivity is fatal to us. Our goal is to make the enemy passive.”
Mao Tse-Tung
We have to mobilize against not just Obama, but the whole Democrat machine, period.
We can always clean house later, but an enemy is breaking down the door right now...
How does one justify a vote for Romney?
HE’S NOT OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With Mitt Romney, we have a chance to influence him and his administration to peaceably reverse the damage that 0bama has done. We know that Mitt is a weather vane, so we just have to blow him in the right direction.
So there is your choice.
I do not understand the disgust with Romney when he’s running against the worst disaster for our Republic since FDR. I would crawl through broken glass to vote for Bill Clinton over Obama. At least Bill didn’t despise America or Americans. George W. Bush’s knee-jerk response to 9/11 was to federalize all airport security. He signed the No-Child-Left-Behind monstrosity with Teddy K. He signed prescription drug benefits onto an already bankrupt Medicare system. He desperately wanted amnesty for illegal aliens. His first nominee for SCOTUS was Harriet Miers. Do you want me to go on? He was a FAR FAR worse defiler of the conservative brand than Romney will be. Get over it you idiots, we’re talking about the destruction of our LIBERTY!
There are degrees of evil.You might have an argument if it was the less liberal Clinton that we were trying to foist from office.Staying home or voting third party might be warranted. But when it comes to the apocalyptic Obama it is not even close.I do not care how much one detests Romney, this nation cannot withstand another 4 years of Obama. IMHO the immediacy of getting rid of this destructive cancer is much more important than learning any long term lessons about nominating RINOs.
Last I knew, the Constitution Party was eligible in only 25-30 states.
How can Virgil Goode win if his party cannot get him on the ballot in so many states?
I’ve said it before, for the good of all American citizens whether they know it or not, I would vote for Linday Lohan for president if she were the only other candidate on the ballot.
Put me in for ABO.
I am rooting for what’s best for the country now. We may not get a chance to vote again in 4.5 years. We are working on getting Lugar out too. Honest change comes hard and takes time. We’ll continue our efforts to change the party after we unseat Obama.
Romney is the SLIGHTLY less Socialist candidate.
If you can vote for that, go ahead.
