To reiterate:
Romney is an extreme liberal pretending to be a moderate or, at times, a conservative. A pretender will never get my vote. I vote for honesty, if honesty is not there, I don’t vote (that old conviction thingy hounds me day and night).
So, my choices are between a socialist/communist and another socialist who doesn’t have the ability or brains to realize that he is a member of a cult. Gee, choices, choices ... not my call.
Seems to be a lot of energy expended on my one vote ... sorry, my mind is made up. Let the chips fall were they may. If Obama wins, blame my one vote.
My convictions stand ...
To clarify, I will be voting for everything except for President. Polling machines don’t allow write in votes ... you must go to paper ballot. I will not go the write in option knowing that my vote will mean nothing.
Sorry if I’m a dumbsh*t in you estamation ... I have convictions that supercede political concerns.
I hear ya. However the Bishop is a photo negative of the original.
Do you really expect him to do the right thing about anything?
His plan is to trash Romney so that lots of people will stay home. It works for FR, they get Obama and it appears like their fingerprints were not on it.
You are wasting your time with these people. They never are happy with any candidate unless that candidate does everything they want. And if not - they proceed to tear him/her down.
We realize we have to fight - no matter the weapon we are given. Obama is destroying America and it is in our hands to do what we can to stop it. I do not want a dictator or destruction of our constitution. I don’t want anything in the hands of Obama or a democrat.
So - we may not get all we want - but at least we would have a man that does love America and is an American.
Suggest we spend our time with tea party people willing to fight against Obama.
These are bench sitters - so the voters will decide and they can sit at their computers and pat themselves on the back for sitting out the most critical election for America.
Primary’s mean nothing now.
Help yourself, vote for yourself, it will make no difference.
The big question is in November.
We all know that, but unfortunately we are stuck with him.
I don’t see any hope for anyone else so I vote anybody but Obama and that’s Romney.
Good move: That will free you of any guilt when Obama is elected.
That is actually a good picture of Was-A-Man.
If you consider yourself a social conservative, how does the following quote sit with your conscience?
“”Omission” is here taken to be the failure to do something one can and ought to do. If this happens advertently and freely a sin is committed. Moralists took pains formerly to show that the inaction implied in an omission was quite compatible with a breach of the moral law, for it is not merely because a person here and now does nothing that he offends, but because he neglects to act under circumstances in which he can and ought to act. The degree of guilt incurred by an omission is measured like that attaching to sins of commission, by the dignity of the virtue and the magnitude of the precept to which the omission is opposed as well as the amount of deliberation. In general, according to St. Thomas, the sin of omission consisting as it does in a leaving out of good is less grievous than a sin of commission which involves a positive taking up with evil. There are, of course, cases in which on account of the special subject matter and circumstances it may happen that an omission is more heinous. It may be asked at what time one incurs the guilt of a sin of omission in case he fails to do something which he is unable to do, by reason of a cause for which he is entirely responsible. For instance, if a person fails to perform a duty in the morning as a result of becoming inebriated the previous night. The guilt is not incurred at the time the duty should be performed because while intoxicated he is incapable of moral guilt. The answer seems to be that he becomes responsible for the omission when having sufficiently foreseen that his neglect will follow upon his intoxication he does nevertheless surrender himself to his craving for liquor.” newadvent.org
You, like Romney, give up entirely too easily on the real issues of the day.
We have one of two choices: a. help Obama b. help Romney
The only reason I’ll vote for the republican nominee is because
I consider the alternative to be truly evil.
ALL THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST OBAMA ARE MOOT WITH Milt
There is a difference and at this stage, any difference can the one that saves this Nation from destruction. If minds like Palin/Rush/Gingrich and others can see it and understand that Romney, despite his faults, is head and shoulders better than Obama, those with an ounce of sanity might consider it.
What you have on FreeRepublic is a bunch of egomaniacs who believe they’re doing the Lord’s work by being anti-Romney and anti-Morman. Look at the postings, extreme liberal? Oh, please.
You are correct in your care about this nation. We must get Obama out of the Executive; all the Democrats for that matter. But you can’t fight the human ego that’s attached to the religious bigotry on this forum. I have challenged some to prove that their own religions are provable; I receive nothing in return, save cheap responses, liberal type misdirection and stonewalling.
People will vote for Obama because he’s black, but they’ll give other reasons. People won’t vote for Romney just because he’s LDS, but they’ll give other reasons.
I remain free to tell others that Romney isn't the one we need.
You are engaged in magic thinking.
RomneyCARE exemplifies the Democrats.
Got THAT? Romney = RomneyCARE
Milt Romney is a bully, a backstabber, a liar, a cheater,
a statist, a destroyer of Constitutions,
a shapeshifter whom HIS PEOPLE CALL “Etch-a-Sketch”,
a piss poor Governor, and a vulture corporatist.
Please then tell us how he can win.
Romney was CHOSEN to lose and destroy America.
Yeah bozo those tough questions are just too hard to answer for your little mind aren’t they.
Great post. Just shows what rocket scientists we are dealing with here who are making FR a laughing stock in the blogosphere.
So ignore me boy.
Voting for a liberal is not the conservative position.
It is the position of chicken littles the sky is falling hand wringing bedwetters sniveling about the bogeyman under the bed.
As another FReeper put it:
"If you are afraid of Obama, vote for Mitt. If you are afraid of God, DON"T!"
