I understand the fear most have of another 4 years of Obama, so they think they have to choose the lesser of two evils to preserve what they want to protect from absolute ruin. Somehow they justify the sacrificing of their principles and faith once again for political and national expediency.
Two quotes about that:
” For whoever desires to save his life, he shall lose it. But whoever shall lose his life for My sake and the gospel, that one shall save it.” - Mark 8:35
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety”. - Benjamin Franklin
Voting for a lesser of two evils to “buy us more time” or “to stop Obama” is not just giving up essential liberty, it’s giving up one’s faith and principles for the purpose of saving their own interests.
There are other ways to stop a tyrant, but nearly everyone thinks the vote this November FOR a Liberal Socialist is the only way.
Bumping your posts to the tippy top!
Well said, all...
lol
Tigerseye: You can smugly vote for socialism and claim you did all you could while our country goes down the drain.
So what vote for who? Nobody? Somebody that has no chance of winning! Or get rid of the Commie in the White House now! No thanks we can’t afford the Zero in charge no more. He has to go for the sake of Our Great Republic!
And what if the Ruling Class decided in conjunction with the MarxoFascists that keeping Obama’s ‘fundamental transformation’ in power was to their better interests, and that is why they forcefed us Romney?
What if killing Conservatives from having any future influence in politics or society while ensconcing themselves into a seat of permanent power in a new order was the ‘kill two birds with one stone plan’ being perpetrated on us with Romney?
They win no matter how November turns out, and Conservatives are rendered irrelevant.
Principled Conservatives will get the blame for an Obama win (already a major talking point of the Romney camp) and if by some miracle Romney gets the nod, everything Obama has done becomes institutionalized and cemented as legitimate by “one of our own”.
We’ve been played by BOTH the GOP-e AND Obama. They are the Ruling Class. We, the citizens and taxpayers, we’re the disdained ‘Country Class’ both parties just assume went away.
Sometimes Jim, you've got to put your family and country first. That doesn't mean throw away your personal principles.
I don't know what else to say.... Good luck, we're all going to need it.
God should come first. First before family, and before country. That’s the priority our Founder’s adhered to.
Putting family or nation before God is idolatry, and maybe we need to take a look and collectively ask ourselves if that is the reason we are not being blessed with honorable and convicted leaders?
Don't waste your time posting to me, for it will be waste for I won't read it. Save it for the open minded where you can shove mitt in.
Gee how can one ignore such a reasoned intelligent response.
Bet it took a long time for you to compose and think out that response.
I don't understand your goal there.
If Axelrod had posted that, proposing a strategy to compartmentalize and marginalize the conservative influence, it would make sense to me.
As a conservative, though, I can't understand why you'd be excited about creating a system where you predict that 82% of the vote would coalesce between the far-left and muddled-middle. What kind of path-straight-to-hell do you think would come out of that?
You have committed your life to a man who is going to still vote for infanticide-supporting Obama, after three years of anti-American governing and economic destruction, racially dividing and internationally weakening this country.
But you're high-and mighty and not going to vote for Romney because why?
Speechless. Morons maybe not.
Intellectually inconsistent and incoherent? Obviously.
What I will say is that you're dumber than a box of rocks about what the MARXIST PUNK is doing to this country, as are your pals Moe and Curly (one of whom is the laughing stock of the whole conservative world with her vile posts about Michelle Bachmann [mercifully deleted by the Mods] and her braindead attack on Jeff Head yesterday.....one of the most respected and consistent conservatives on Free Republic).
I tried to help you understand about Obama yesterday, but to no avail.
I wouldn't be surprised if any of you get contacted to be a part of the next Obama administration, since you're BFF with the 'turd.' I'm sure the folks at DU are in love with you.
At any rate, I'm now familiar enough with your name to avoid you at all costs. Continue your Obama-isn't-such-a-bad-guy crusade wherever you wish.
Legitimate conservatives will ignore you and your campaign against the country.
And for me, that begins now.
I guarantee that these dunderheads know nothing about history, GC. I guarantee that they don't know how deadly it will be to this country and to our Constitution to have Obama appoint another 2 unqualified, racist, Marxist SC Justicies.
I guarantee that they don't understand what Obama's promise to Medvedev means to America (they probably don't even know about the Cold War, or how dangerous Russia is even today).
I guarantee that they don't know squat about the Weimar Republic, and how close we are to it right now, and more importantly how much worse it will be if Obama gets a second term. (If they did, they wouldn't be pimping another four years for him).
They ridiculed me yesterday simply because I understand the threat, and they don't. (Their idiotic words didn't bother me, other than knowing that there are people out there who actually think they're conservatives, and don't have a functioning brain cell or any historical knowledge).
If we don't ALL send the Marxist back to Chicago, this country WILL NOT RECOVER in our lifetimes.
You and I have a number of years on these little ones, I'm sure, but I can't see that the country will recover, even in their lifetimes if we don't get this Marxist Usurper out of DC.
FORTUNATELY, WE ARE THE MAJORITY, and I believe we will get the job done.
Either that (dunderheads).......or undercover Obama operatives....
Making excuses doesn’t excuse the fact you called Greyfoxx a NAZI. THe post (and I believe thread) have since been deleted
And we weren’t equating MORMONS with Islam, we were showing the similarities between MORMONISM and Isalm. Also, it is common knowledge that many LDS (espeically in times of war) take a “religious exemption” to service, like Mittens. You comments were still beyond the pale.
I don’t hate Mormons, if I did I would let them go their merry way to Hell. I love them (and you) enough to tell them the truth about Mormonism. I weep and pray for those trapped in Mormonism every day. I was once bound by those same chains and have been set free by Christ. I want the same for you and all LDS. That isn’t bigotry, that is love.
Jeff, you write well, and you are obviously too intelligent to fall for Smith’s lies. It is a dichotomy that saddens me. Use your brain and leave Mormonism.
Pass that repellant, we are gonna need it.
Voting for a lesser of two evils to buy us more time or to stop Obama is not just giving up essential liberty, its giving up ones faith and principles for the purpose of saving their own interests.

Worth a repost!

BINGO!
Good question, and I don't know the answer. I haven't followed Cheney's politics in recent years. I'm guessing he has no interest in future political positions and simply believes Romney can defeat Obama, but I'm only guessing when I write that.
Do you have a better idea? If so I'd like to know.
What took you SO LONG? You are, at least, three years behind!
I tried to help you understand about Obama yesterday, but to no avail.
And now you are trying to play teacher?? LOL!!
Where you on another site hearing about his goodness or something? It's hard to believe someone could be that clueless. Now that the primary is at it's end, anyone could see how not serious you took it!
Save your rant, sleepy!
By being so open minded.
it took a long time for you to compose and think out
And longer time for you to get it - I go easy on the learning impaired.
