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, Id 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 dont think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think youre smokin something funky .
So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didnt 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!
We may not like the choices, but to choose to not vote for Romney, is to choose to help Obama.

I am sick of this fear tactic. The only way it really matters is if you are in a swing state.
My state will go for Romney, it has gone Rep since FDR. It really does not matter who I vote for, so I am voting (lower races are always close), but I am voting my conscience and sticking by my conservative principles. I am voting against BOTH Romney and Obama.
Nice try, MindBender, but I dread even reading the responses.
I’ve read none of them so far, am waiting for the pancake to settle.
But the usual suspects will doubtless crop up comparing Romney from everyone from Hitler to the Devil.
There will be ugly posts about his religion, people will say he’s pro-abortion when he’s not, and many lies and deep-seated and mindless hate will be revealed.
Later on, I’ll read the posts and see if I was right.
If I had a dollar, I’d bet it.
BHOhysteria is beginning to really be irrationality.
I am not voting for the liberal, as I do not suffer from BHOhysteria or Romneyhopeandchangeism.
Oh, my, God.
Romney is not evil.
Is insanity catching? If it is, I’d better leave this thread immediately.
Explain how Romney is not pro-abortion.
You have said before he is pro-life, when was this?
He has repeatedly said he was “pro-choice”, he championed low cost and free abortions as governor, why do you think he is pro-life?
"You shall have no other gods before me"-Second Commandment
A vote for Romney is mocking God. Beware America.
I have posited my theory that there are only 30 people on Free Republic who have a rabid hatred of Romney to the point that it has destroyed all reason.
My theory is that these people, though few in number, have created a feeling that they represent many or most of us because of their sheer persistence and multiple posts, many of which are cut and paste.
I now feel it is my duty to go through these posts and see if I can add any new names to my list, which now numbers 27.
But I don’t want to. However, I probably will and will let you know the actual number later.
At present, I am still looking. I have a few options in mind, but at least I know that I can stand before God and say that I voted for the best person I can.
My gosh, I think I’m gonna have to add a couple of names.
But first, a blessed outing with my dog to clear my soul of the hate.
You people need to wake up and realize what is happening in the country. You need to fear God more than Obama.
....And this is FR, quit with the phony "hate" card taken from the Alinsky playbook. I posted unedited LDS scripture and compared it to the second commandment, and you call it "hate".
Go ahead, vote Romney, you will remember this day, and this warning. The curse and power of the Prophet Elijah was not just sent to ancient Isreal, it was recorded for us today as well. Mock God at your own peril.
Mormonism is a multitheistic babylonian mystery religion, and Romney is a leader....Just Like King Ahab was. Christian conservatives need to understand the implications of what a vote for Romney means in the eyes of God.
I prayed for you (and others like you) on my Bubba walk this morning.
I always use that time for prayer.
Hope you don’t mind.
Romans 3: 7 Someone might argue, If my falsehood enhances Gods truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner? 8 Why not sayas some slanderously claim that we sayLet us do evil that good may result? Their condemnation is just!
He told me to warn you.
Consider the possibility that you are wrong about my motives. Compare what I am saying against the scriptures to see if it is so. Obama is just another evil man. Romney is a cult leader, death oath sworn to consecrate any future office he is elected to for the spreading of his cult. I too was a an LDS sect mormon leader, similar in rank to Romney. I once was blind, but now I see.
Read The Harbinger." Maybe then you will begin to understand.
Search Daniel and Revelations for any indication of the existence of America during end times, and you will find none. We as a nation are going exactly the way of ancient Isreal, before it's utter destruction by the Assyrians.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
I just spoke to God. Seriously. And he told me I should pray for you because you are not only wrong, but you are using His name to support political views.
And here I thought that only Obama was keeping an enemies list!
Has JR approved this little project of yours? OR, is he on the list?
I find it hilarious that someone obsessed with keeping track of the posts of a handful of FReepers is in a snit about what you have labeled an obsession....and if being a snitch on FR is considered a "duty", you'd better inform the boss! I doubt he is aware of it.
First of all, kudos for posting a pro-Romney post and sticking with the thread to answer every false accusation.
I was only able to bring myself to read 110 posts, they became more repetitive and stupid.
However,I’m forced to admit I found additional Romney haters.
They now number 46. I am now running into massive repeat posters so I don’t think that number will increase much.
How many members are there currently on Free Republic? Anybody know?
Well, every single Romney hater has posted here and we’re still under 50.
I think there would be far more people to come to your defense except that people are tired of arguing with mindless trolls.
What gets me the most is that most of these people either do not realize they are, in effect, supporting Obama, or that they don’t care.
Either case is scary.
It does not bode well that you mock God.
Please provide the list of the 30 or 27 FRs that you are stocking, and disagree with your BHOhysteria, I’d like to invite them over for a BBQ.
Oh please, Altura, add me to your list. I've always wanted to make an enemies list. I was too young for Nixon's, too naive for Clinton's, and too small potatos for Obama's.
So maybe I can make yours.
PLEEEEEEASE!
Here, I'll help: I despise Romney's politics and consider him a radical liberal baby aborting, gay marrying, gun-hating, 3rd way, social corporatist. Surely that qualifies me.
My position has not and will not change. I won’t be voting for or supporting an abortionist/homosexualist statist for the presidency. No Romney vote here.
