In Case You Don't Like Romney... A Challenge To Every FReeper
email from friend

Posted on 06/13/2012 2:03:43 PM PDT by MindBender26

In Case You Don't Like Romney...

Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election …

“If Romney wins the nomination, as seems very likely, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who may have hesitation on that score, I’d just ask you to keep four things in mind:

1.. Justice Scalia just turned 78

2.. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year

3.. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August

4.. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago and has had cancer twice.

Whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.

If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you’re smokin’ something funky….”

So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didn’t get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can't win ... just imagine this possibility:

'SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ERIC HOLDER'

Did that get your attention!

I have stated, several times in fact, that I am voting principle over party.

Actually, everyone is voting their principles.

Neither.

Romney is so bad as to be unacceptable.

It is naive to thing the voters across the nation selected Romney. In fact, I would wager not a single individual on this thread selected Romney. He is the product of a successful divide and conquer strategy and nothing more. That's the part the GOPe doesn't get. They believe if they pull the right strings the conservative base will all fall in line like good little republicans. They just cannot fathom that our loyalty lies with our Founders and our Creator and not the Republican party as their loyalty does. That ignorance has cost them elections before and will again. It's a weakness.

You are afraid we are reaching the "end of America". It's not the end of America until good conservative people intentionally choose a baby-killing, gun-grabbing, healthcare-ransoming, stimulus-providing, homosexual-advocating, muslim-welcoming, socialism-advancing president for their leader. I guess we are reaching the end of America. But I'll go down fighting rather than selling out our Founders and Creator. And as you can see on this thread, I'm not nearly alone. So we'll try to save America and welcome all who join us.

"Caveat Emptor. Those words never applied so much as they do to Mitt Romney. Would he be better than 0bama?

Probably. In the same way that a little dog with rabies would pose a slightly lesser risk than a BIG dog with rabies. But BOTH dogs remain rabid, and if they bite you, you’re going to get infected, and it’s not gonna be pretty.

So choose your mutts."

Amen. Personally I will stay away from all dogs with rabies. I will write in George Washington, and walk away with a clear conscience knowing I had nothing to do with the inevitable troubles headed toward America.

Repent Freepers, I know you're scared, but dont take part in the inevitable. We have fought evil at every turn, but it has overcome our nation. For our first election ever, we can only choose between pure evil and pure evil. God has consequences for America, that we as a nation are and will continue to suffer. Do the right thing and stay out of the evil so you can have individual protection during the hard times to come. To vote Romney now, after all we have fought and stood for over the years, it to switch sides before our national defeat.

Do not vote for a Baal and Jupiter worshiping cult leader as president of our country. God will not be mocked and we need his protection more than ever right now.


Graven idol of sun "god" at LDS Sect "temple".

Here is reality:

By your actions on election day, you will help elect Romney or Obama.

Which to you choose to help?

To: DallasSun

of course she is free to vote however she wishes

that doesn’t change that a vote of protest for someone who can’t win could also help 0dumbo

and again absolutely that is her right , to help 0dumbo if she wishes.

just as it is MY right to point out that if we are all do concerned about what 0dumbo is doing to our country I would hope we all would do everything we can to stop him.

I know you are not denying me that right to post.

While it is true that every person’s vote is an expression of their principles, it does not follow that those principles are necessarily conservative principles or Christian principles.

It is not possible to vote for Romney and be voting for conservative principles or Christian principles.

I would call that classic situationism for those who had formerly guided themselves by their Christian or conservative principles.

Yes, we all have many choices, but only two will actually help chose the next president.

You have a choice, help the more conservative Romney or the more liberal Obama.

We may not like the choices, but to choose to not vote for Romney, is to choose to help Obama.

You and I are in agreement on this issue. I will be voting for a conservative. If the republicans or democrats don’t run conservative candidates, they cannot count on my vote.

Bender, you keep using the words: reality, only choice, end of America.
Your BHOhysteria is clouding your vision and reason.
Conservatives have many choices, you on the other hand have limited yourself to just one.

You have a choice, help the more conservative slightly less but still liberal Romney or the more liberal Obama.

There. Fixed it for you. Glad I could help.

Yours is a false dichotomy. The real choice is Goode or evil.

To not to vote for one liberal over the other liberal is not a choice I choose to make, that is your choice and apparently the only one you are willing to make.

I am not BHOhysterical, I do not suffer that affliction.

There are many choices for a conservative to make, and this conservative will not vote for a liberal.

I choose to help America and care less about which one of the liberals "wins" than you do. Either one will be a formidable opponent while in DC. Perhaps Romney is the more formidable opponent because he will have republicans rubber stamping his socialist leanings in the same way you are rubber stamping his candidacy. And that will damage the republican brand for elections to come. So that probably is the greater evil if you want to weigh evils. I'll go down fighting for America; I'll vote for any conservative on the ballot. Right now that looks like Virgil Goode and I'm comfortable with his record. My mind is at peace knowing what I must do. Some of us throw tea into harbors, and that is reality.

Romney is a baal worshiping cult leader, not unlike King Ahab, if elected.

Obama will destroy the nation. Romney over Obama puts this country out of the frying pan and into the fire. The fight for good was lost during the primary, steer clear of the evil that God might protect you individually from his wrath.

Wicked men often rule and good people suffer under them, but a nation that chooses a leader that worships other "gods" mocks the one true God, and He will destroy the country.

1 Kings 17:1
[ Elijah Proclaims a Drought ] And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.”

1 Kings 18:2
So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab; and there was a severe famine in Samaria.

Perhaps you are right.

Which one do you want for the next 4 years?
