Gingrich to Georgia GOP: Let's rally around Romney

The Florida Times Union ^ | May 19, 2012 | Errin Haines

Newt Gingrich took the stage at the Georgia Republican Party state convention on Saturday wearing a Mitt Romney sticker, focusing his attacks on President Barack Obama and attempting to energize the crowd around his former Republican rival.

"To every conservative, everywhere in America: When your choice on the one hand is Barack Obama, and your choice on the other hand is Mitt Romney, no serious conservative could possibly believe that electing Barack Obama is acceptable ... for America."

I can walk and chew gum at the same time..Vote in
a strong conservative Congress..VOTE out the Obamanation.

If the race is between Romney and Obama..the choice in November will be simple for me..I’ll vote for Romney

[Sola Veritas]

“If the race is between Romney and Obama..the choice in November will be simple for me..I’ll vote for Romney”

Do whatever you want pard. However, you won’t be any better off under Romney, and, in fact, may in the long run be worse.

This is a tough position to be in. Not being able to support the GOP nominee with the worst POTUS of my 58 years in office right now running for reelection. However, I’m sick of not getting a decent GOP nominee because of the GOPe. They don’t own the party, and it is time to wrest it from them. Romney is not only a terrible candidate, he is the making of the GOPe. I cannot back him.

The GOPe has become a bully. If you don’t stand up to a bully, you condemn yourself to forever being their victum.

However, I don’t see Romney doing that well this November.

Although I won’t support him. On some level I would feel a degree of relief to have Mr. Obama voted out. However, I know the relief will be short lived.

We are trully in a mess. This, by far, is the worst situation I have ever seen.

[Agamemnon]

So, post your ABO insanity, and it will be vigorously opposed.....and no matter how you try to spin it, Jim Robinson isn’t gonna kick your opposition off.

Jim can speak for himself; he doesn't need you to speak for him

I can respect his position; I cannot respect yours -- nor should any other thinking conservative.

Those like you who want Obama to win in 2012 promote surrender as strategy.

I can't ever recall Jim endorsing the idea of surrender as strategy.

Your "let Obama be elected" strategy is merely self-righteous surrender.

Since no one else was pinging Jim except you, Sola Veritas, and he told you to stop pinging him, I'd listen to him, or be prepared to suffer the consequences for not listening to him.

[Sola Veritas]

“Since no one else was pinging Jim except you, Sola Veritas, and he told you to stop pinging him, I’d listen to him, or be prepared to suffer the consequences for not listening to him.”

I kept pinging him because you kept making unfounded threats like saying “Jim Robinson is going to kick you off.” I have written him directly and knew his stance. You didn’t believe me. I proved you wrong. Now you want to quibble about that. I agree he was irked. However, his being irked wasn’t just about me pinging him. He has clearly stated his position about not supporting Romney repeatedly. He was also irked because he has to keep repeating it. You feigned ignorance on this. I proved you publically WRONG. Jim Robinson will NOT vote for Obama or Romney. He considers both of them bad...as do I. You are such a bully and coward on the forum to keep threatening even now. I don’t run from bullies.

Now grow up and stop threatening anti-OBA forces on this forum with zotting. You can spread your opinions, I can spread mine. That is called “Freedom of Speech.” I’m sorry that you cannot understand abstract concepts. Jim Robinson has decided to leave the forum open. Originally, he was going to take the stand that the forum would be a Romney free one. He changed that because the ABOs like you were so numerous. However, you are going beyond merely an ABO position to one where you are saying Romney is going to be OK. IF anyone is in danger of zotting, it is you.

Stop telling untruths and stop trying to provoke more principled person than yourself. You have been dishonest, arrogant, rude, judemental, and a pain in the backside. I grow weary of anyone that uses the phrase “self righteous” against any Evangelical Christian of principle. Especially when you know nada about that person. That is a catch phrase of liberals.

I have honestly explained my position to all. There is nothing devious in it. It is not something I do lightly. Mr. Obama has done some atrocious things as POTUS and I do want him out of office. However, although a superficial examination of Romney may make him appear “better.” When I “reason” it out, I realize he would be as bad or worse in the long term. My conscience will not allow me to vote for someone with his political record and real hard core mormon leanings. I know he is ultimately no better than Obama.

Another poster on this thread seems to have characterized you correctly. You are a trouble maker that attempts to provoke when you cannot “win” an argument.

Buddy, I’m not going to drink the Romney Cyanide Koolaid you ABOs are pushing, and I’m going to try and warn others not to drink it either. I have voted in every general presidential election since 1976 and ALWAYS for the Republican. Some I liked, (President Reagan), others less so, and some I was neutral on. However, I despise Romney totally. He is an insidious evil that disgusts me.

My disgust for Romney and the GOPe that has forced him on us is greater than my fear of Obama. So, I will vote for neighter man. If I cannot find an appropriate third party (I will NEVER vote Libertarian), I will leave that portion of the ballot blank and vote to put conservatives in the House and Senate. Fortunately, where I currently reside in Missouri this is possible. We already have a strong conservative Republican House member I will help actively to reelect, and we have a liberal Democrat Senator I will actively work to replace with a conservative Republican.

By the way. My native state, and the place I consider home is Oklahoma. That is probably the most conservative state in the union right now. How does Conn. stack up???

[Sola Veritas]

Let me be clear about something else. I am heartsick that I am forced into this position of “not voting” by the GOPe foisting Romney on Republicans.

I also dread four more years of Obama, but the disgust I feel over Romney being POTUS outweighs any fear of Obama. I believe we WILL do very well in getting conservatives elected to both House and Senate in this cycle and more so in 2014. That is my “positive” side.

Anyway, I can understand your fear. I just don’t think Romney is the answer.

You want Obama to win. This all the board needs to know.

You said it here again for what has to be the 3rd time on this thread alone.

I called you out on your desire to have Obama re-elected, and you alone foolishly pinged Jim repeatedly.

You feel you need to ping Jim and the Mods when you need an intellectual diaper change.

You are well advised to cease pinging Jim.

You think he and you are on the same page. Jim neither wants Obama nor Romney to win the Presidency.

Your strategies are not the same.

Jim does not want Obama re-elected. You do.

Unlike Jim, electing Obama is all part of your strategy. It is not part of Jim's strategy.

As with any poster Jim will allow you to post your strategy -- the strategy that assures that Obama is re-elected -- only as long as he cares to allow you to do so.

My suspicion is that if he keeps hearing of that strategy from you -- that is, your hope that Obama gets re-elected -- for too much longer, your retention time on the Board will not be long.

He may not do it today, he may not do it tomorrow. I suspect someday he will do it.

FR doesn't advocate the re-election of Obama. You do.

No one threatens you more than you threaten yourself.

You’re busted!

That is a very revealing, sick and disgusting statement.

>>I believe we WILL do very well in getting conservatives elected to both House and Senate in this cycle and more so in 2014. That is my “positive” side.<<

We can have every seat filled by a Conservative.
Obama ignores them. So what good is it to have conservatives anyway?
He rules by executive order and czars.

Then you’re going to allow him to pick Supreme Court Justices.
This is not a horrible Rino against a Leftist.

This is a horrible Rino against a Marxist, Muslim Brotherhood loving, Israeli hating narcissist who voted to allow babies to die in a closet alone.

[Sola Veritas]

“Jim neither wants Obama nor Romney to win the Presidency.”

I don’t want either elected. Both are unacceptable to me. I will NOT vote for either. I will encourage everyone to not vote for either.

Stop being a coward. IF you really think I’m such a terrible person. Then ask the mods or Jim Robinson to review this entire thread. Stop “spinning” things to fit your version of reality.

You have made a lot of damnable false accusations about me and my motives. It is your time to face one:

I am starting to think you ARE NOT just an ABO. You are in fact a Romney supporter. You don’t just want Obama beat, you WANT Romney to win. You are Pro-Romney....your posts prove it. Defend that before Jim Robinson.

[Sola Veritas]

“That is a very revealing, sick and disgusting statement.”

What, you are not disgusted by Romney? You are not anti-Obama, you are PRO ROMNEY. Go back to the demons that spawned you.

I’m really starting to believe you and Agamemnon and other so-called ABOs on this thread are actually Pro-Romney supporters. You WANT Romney. You may not have initially, but you do now, and NOT just because he isn’t Obama. You goes have crossed the line to becoming Romney proponents, not just enemies of Obama.

A conservative should NOT want Romney or Obama.

[Sola Veritas]

You Pro-Romney types are just pawns of this guy:

This dude is Romney’s real boss.

What, you are not disgusted by Romney? You are not anti-Obama, you are PRO ROMNEY. Go back to the demons that spawned you.

Give it up, Sola Veritas.

I will do all I can to prevent Barack Hussein Obama, an evil, avowed enemy of my beloved country, from having a second term.

0bama and his ilk would have your “Christian” head on a pike if they was allowed to do it.

[Sola Veritas]

“0bama and his ilk would have your “Christian” head on a pike if they was allowed to do it.”

As would Romney and his Salt Lake City buddies. The “Mountain Meadows Massacre” wasn’t a fluke. Believe it - where Mormons are in the majority - there is no true freedom of religion. They do not believe in separation of Church and State...they were only allowed to be a state after they agreed Brigham Young could not be governor. The cult’s leader, Joseph Smith, greatest wish was to be the POTUS. So, yes I find Romney disgusting.

Plus, he has a terrible RINO record that should disgust anyone claiming to be conservative.

I will not help either of these evil men get elected. I will stand up to the GOPe and force them to stop ignoring conservatives. Both Obama and Romney are evil. Conservatives readily recognize Obama as so, but many are fooled by Romney.

I really am starting to believe that your ilk has actually started being Pro-Romney not just Anti-Obama. That is disgusting as well.

[Sola Veritas]

“I will do all I can to prevent Barack Hussein Obama, an evil, avowed enemy of my beloved country, from having a second term.”

You are a Vietnam era vet, and I don’t doubt the sincerity of your desire to protect the country. I just think you are foolish to place any hope in Romney doing anything better. Like I said, Obama is open evil, Romney is an insidious evil.

It is not hard to rally folks against the obvious. However, it can be extremely difficult to rally against the insidious. That is why I take the stand I do. I loath both men. I’m extremely ticked that of the many fine candidates running in the GOP primary....that Romney is the one to win. I blame the GOPe and Romney’s buying the election. I also find that disgusting.

[unkus]

Adios.

[Sola Veritas]

“I will do all I can to prevent Barack Hussein Obama, an evil, avowed enemy of my beloved country, from having a second term.”

This reminds me of the analogy of the “drowning man.” A “drowning” man will grab even the sharp edge of an extended sword in desparation to stop from drowning.

No doubt we are the worst off we have ever been in my 58 years under Mr. Obama. However, I don’t see that Romney will be any better. He is “grabbing the sharp edge of a sword in desparation.” You are still going to drown, but with cut up hands.

IF you folks really want to stop Obama. Then REFUSE to let the GOPe force Romney on us. IT is NOT impossible for a determined group to so disrupt the convention and activities leading up to it that some form of placation will be reached. NEVER give up to the “Romney’s all that’s left” mentality. That isn’t fighting, that is capitulation.

Join me in calling GOP delegates to your state and telling them that you are mad as heck about the GOPe’s pick in Romney. They will be held accountable. We must field a better candidate. Folks, Romney is not going to win. There are too many in his party that just won’t vote for him.

Wake up!

[netmilsmom]

>>I really am starting to believe that your ilk has actually started being Pro-Romney not just Anti-Obama. That is disgusting as well.<<

I will not say anything “Pro-Romney”. I’m ABO.
I’m terrified for my children because Obama and his ilk are out to destroy Western Civilization.

Can’t you see?

[Sola Veritas]

“I will not say anything “Pro-Romney”. I’m ABO.”

I don’t believe anything you write. You are pro-Romney and not just ABO. I have a teenage son, I’m concerned about this country too. However, Romney is NOT the answer to Obama. Trading evils still gets you evil.

I have berated and misrepresented by your spokesman Agamemnon too many times. You should have corrected his excesses.

This very thread - “Let’s rally around Romney” is a dead give away.

[Sola Veritas]

This is what Romney will get you:

Can’t you see?

And don’t come back with the JFK argument. JFK was always a “convenient” Roman Catholic. He was never devoutly so. America being heavily under Papal rule was never a danger. However, Romney is devoutly Mormon.

[Sola Veritas]

“This is a horrible Rino against a Marxist, Muslim Brotherhood loving, Israeli hating narcissist who voted to allow babies to die in a closet alone.”

Romney is not pro-life. His ONLY loyalties are to Salt Lake City. That makes him ever bit as bad as Obama. Only difference is too many don’t realize how evil Mormonism is. Most can see the evils of Islam.

This country will NEVER go pro-Islam. Won’t ever happen. However, Romney WILL use the office of POTUS to spread Mormonism. He will do so insidiously. He cannot be trusted anymore than Obama. Both men are evil. Neither should be POTUS.
