Romeny DID NOT say he will repeal Obamacare- only “the more onerous parts of it”

That is a DIRECT QUOTE from Romney on Hannity’s Show- even Hannity missed the weasel words as if he didn’t hear them

He did not write it. It still is not even the same county as “terse”.

Millions of people will definitely support/ campaign for any foreseeable candidate the R party wishes to nominate (including Gov. Romney) if the alternative remains Bho (or Hillary).

When the Constitution Party gets one congressman elected from one district in one state, then we can discuss who they have nominated for president. Until then, it is a wasted vote. There may be a need for a new 2nd party, but it isn’t going to happen in the next six months. Voting for anyone except Romney is voting for a second Obama term.

I don't like Romney. I truly wish there were a viable alternative. Sadly, there isn't. I gave money to both Cain and Newt. It galls me to have to be forced to vote for a younger McCain... but, damn it – I will for him for one reason: Obama needs to go. As bad as Romney may be, he is still better than the current occupier of the white house.

I’ve already read #34. So why not answer how you propose to remove the criminal and his thuggery? ... Oh, that’s right, you aren’t planning on removing him. You believe the Republic will survive four more years of this abortion. I do not believe it will.

Romney will be the only alternative to another for years of Obama on the ballot in November.

Good point, Romney IS a teensy weensy bit better than 0bama, however even candidate 0bama was better than President 0bama is.

"Nope, that would be one of the gay couples that Romney supports giving helpless adoptive children to."

Romney referred to sodomites who want to adopt children as "people who love each other." Absolutely sickening and proof that he has no moral compass.

As badly as Obama needs to go, as much as I want him out, I will not vote for a liberal abortion enabler and homosexual lover to accomplish that.

You are absurd.

The Club for Growth
The National Right to Life Committee
The NRA
All former GOP Primary Candidates.
Every elected Republican -—

Will endorse Romney for President.

Principles? What the devil are those?

Fixed if for ya. But? You are smarter than all of these people, aren’t you?

Sure, for 2016. If we are so lucky. All the “real” candidates have given up. I don’t call third party candidates like Goode as “real”. (The next president will be either a Republican or a Democrat)

Not that your single vote will matter all that much, but you may as well vote for obama if you do that. I am disgusted as well.

You are, of course, absolutely right.

And you will, of course, be absolutely ignored by the majority of the fake “conservatives” around here.

Second, you cannot “take over” the Republican machine and turn it into something in decent....

This is exactly what the so-called "e" want people to believe. The 'machine' is a business and has the same need of any business, profit and customers (not necessarily in that order). We can't do a thing about any political machine until one wakes up and realizes this simple fact. Businesses can be manipulated by customers if the customers so choose. As long as we keep looking at it as just some smokey back-room cabal with no ends or means other than power, we can't do a thing. If we think of them as a business and focus accordingly, we can influence them.

Of course, we can't do a damn thing if we don't have power first. If we don't have that, we are nothing more than coffee-shop philosophers.

In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.- Winston Churchill

Virgil Goode is a decent conservative and is a candidate too.

So if not voting, wasting your vote on a third party candidate is the way to go, one might as well give up on the political process and hunker down or leave the country.
Obama will destroy the republic and it will never be restored. If you feel that Romney and Obama are equally bad, fine. But instead of exhorting people not to vote for Romney, spend your efforts on a prepper post or ways to escape the US.

Congress is the key. As much as I hate to say it, even the Clinton years were prosperous with a conservative house and senate. I write in is a wasted vote. We need to get this assclown out of the WH. I don’t care if Pee Wee Herman is the R nominee. At least Romney has a verifiable past.
