Tempting as it is, I can’t badger anyone for not voting this year. I haven’t been a registered voter since 2005.
And this is okay with you? You really can't allow these people to run rampant thru FR. It's breaking our hearts.
Some conservatives cannot accept the fact that there were no well-organized, articulate, telegenic, well-funded conservatives to run against Romney from the begining.
Now, some folks are going throught the Kubler-Ross death and dying model:
• Denial and isolation: “This is not happening to me.”
• Anger: “How dare God do this to me.”
• Bargaining: “Just let me live to see my son graduate.”
• Depression: “I can’t bear to face going through this, putting my family through this.”
• Acceptance: “I’m ready, I don’t want to struggle anymore.”
I am at “Acceptance”. Bring on the General Election!
I am so opposed to a second term for terminator Obama that if Arlen Spector took another ride on the Merry Go Round and decided to become a Republican for the third time and won the Republican nomination I would vote for Arlen.For that matter I would vote randomly for the 100th name in the phonebook over Obama. Although Romney was not among my top choices to win the nomination,I will be voting for him to get the cancer out of the Oval Office.This nation will not make it to 2016 intact if the terminator is reelected.
Thanks for posting this. Hopefully the blind will have their eyes opened before it is too late.
The author focuses solely on policy, legislation, and money. There is so much more to consider.
- The author forgets the damage a President Obama can do to the Supreme Court if he hs the opportunity to nominate more justices.
- He forgets the damage Obama can do to relationships with our allies by leaving them to twist in the wind.
- He forgets the damage Obama can do by emboldening our enemies who DO NOT fear him and will not restrain themselves.
- He forgets the destruction that Obama and his Executive agencies can do to our constitutional rights.
Our individual freedoms probably will not survive another four years of Obama.
One problem with the argument. You I believe are supporting Virgil Goode.
Virgil Goode was a republican for almost a decade. And he didn’t leave out of a principled stand against the party, he “left” because he lost an election, and didn’t think he could win another election. In fact, he filed paperwork to run as a republican again, but then dropped out of the 2010 race.
It is only in 2012, when he again had no chance to win a republican nomination, that Virgil decided to move on.
Virgil is a party-hopper. When it was advantageoous, he was a solid democrat, supporting the Equal Rights Amendment. In practice, he was a horrible democrat, being much more conservative than the typical democrat, so other than voting the party line on leadership, committees, and such, he didn’t really belong in the democrat party.
He then did the “independent” thing. After that looked like a loser for him, he jumped again to the republican party, where he spoke of loyalty to the organization, and fit right in.
When that wasn’t working for him he jumped ship again, and now he’s, what, the constitution party candidate? No doubt after he loses this year, he’ll find some other party to join.
The point isn’t that Virgil is fickle. It’s that he was part of the “corrupt”, “bankrupt” GOP that this author denounces, and Virgil never indicated a problem with that GOP until he failed to beat a democrat for election, and then knew he couldn’t get a primary nomination again.
So, we are supposed to think the GOP is a bankrupt organization pushing failure on us, but vote for a guy who pledged his fealty to that very GOP, and in fact served during the very time we say they lost their way and started spending us into oblivion, simply because he lost an election and had to change flags to get a new ride?
I have a few questions for those who are voting for romney. We all know (and if you don't many of us here can send you proof) that romney, the gop, fox, ann coulter, drudge,.......pushed romney. They helped him cheat, steal, buy votes and endorsements....
Why vote at all? Unless you're a pro-abortion, pro-gay,....person your vote doesn't matter. Your nominee has been chosen for you like it or not. Many people helped pull this off, but they did. Now they EXPECT us to vote as they say. So, why would you vote for a person who cheated you out of a fair vote? Why vote for someone who has lied and is a known liberal? Common sense or wisdom, tell us that a person who says they are against gay marriage, abortion,...then says the opposite later is not to be trusted.
How is lying, cheating, stealing....being pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage/adoption....different than obama? Why should we trust he will be different than obama?
Why in the world are we acting like a battered wife who keeps coming back to the man beating her? Are we suppose to act like the gop, romney,....did nothing wrong and support him?
I am a Christian and praying for a miracle. If we keep moving left with the gop nominees, we will be today's democrats, obeying and following like sheep. At least they get paid for following (welfare....) we get what???
ABO Baby ABO!
Voting for Obama is better.
The next president will probably have a chance to name three Supreme court justices. Does this F NG asswipe realize the repercussions if all three are from obama and are lunatic leftists?
Stupid smug losertarian. I wish he was around me so that I could back hand his idiotic ass into next week.
Rmoney bump
There are only two rational choices: Romney or Obama. I’ll never vote for Obama.
Yep, yep and yep.
It was hard for me to reach the conclusion I did back in 1998, that the GOP had finally morphed into the power/money grabbing machine that it has. I wanted so hard to believe that they still represented my Constitutionally Conservative values. But they don't and more than likely hadn't for many years before I left.
There is no way I could take the author's suggestion and vote for Hussein. But I have no problem voting for Virgil Goode.
Thanks for posting this. The truth hurts; especially all the "party faithful" that permeate this forum.

In my view, from a pro-life perspective, Libertarians are joined at the level of the corrupted heart with the Democrat Party, on the cruel belief that the innocent and defenseless child in the womb deserves No shield of compassion and mercy to protect it from the abortionist's knife. What an intense level of moral blindness they harbor, which allows them to reject out of hand, the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is really a point of Atheism, where they deny that God is the Creator of that Life, and thus deny any responsibility for protecting it.
Make no mistake. To support the outright murder of the innocent in this life, will guarentee that when you are given an opportunity to re-embody, that you will suffer the terror of abortion yourself, as this alone is the only thing that can stamp upon your soul the truth, that abortion is the most unjust act in the universe. You will certainly believe that to the depth of your soul then when you have suffered it yourself. Don't tell anybody you were not warned.
Therefore, being joined at the level of the corrupted heart with the Democrat Party, the author of this article cannot be writing from wisdom, but from self-interest, and especially party interest only. It is a good thing that he has left the Republican Party, now if he would just take these other pro-abortionists with him, I would not complain.
At any rate, his wiewpoint is really cynical. Really Machiavellian, nearly every thought a streamer of disdain and mistrust, and yes, I read the whole article. So, I am not sure what I can take from it.
Is there anything in that article that is of any use to us? My rule of thumb, is that you can safely ignore anything an Atheist says, and as Libertarians appear to be integrated into that deep cavern of moral darkness, I think it might be safe to say that we would not err by simply ignoring the whole thing, even if he is making a case of the folly of voting for Romney.
Republicans don't need a Libertarian to tell them that Romney is ripping the very heart of the Republican Conscience, right out of the body of the Republican party.
Who has seen "The Matrix" movie series? Romney and his (pro-abortion) RomneyZombies are like the "Agent Smiths" who grab at Neo's heart to try to convert him into one of them. You would have to see it to get the connection.
Here, I found a You Tube Clip. This is a great action clip. The heart sequence is about 2:10 into the clip. See how Neo resists the taking over of his heart, yet he still has a battle to fight. Of course it is all allegory. The circle he draws around himself in the end, is an allegory for God. The moral of the story, is that while you must fight, you cannot win without the Power of God which you cannot access without obedience to His Laws. And yes, to surrender your purpose to the darkside, the purpose that God has placed in your heart, is to die.
The fact that the Republican Party is in this "Agent Smith" stampede to nominate a pro-abortionist itself, as committed as Obama to the slaughter of the unborn, that is enough for any principled person to refuse to vote for Willard M. Romney.
“’Anybody But Obama’— The Most Dangerous Three Words in America Today”
I have zero use for Libertarians. However, I fully agree with the writer on this statement.
