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

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!

Do fear campaigns really work?
What about all republican congressional members who confirmed Kagan and Sotomeyer? Huh?
Romeney will nominate globalists who put international law above the Constitution. He has proven his globalist nature by enacting the ‘climate protect plan’ in Massachusetts.

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
SECTION 89
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, February 27, 1833. HC 1: 327329. As a consequence of the early brethren using tobacco in their meetings, the Prophet was led to ponder upon the matter; consequently he inquired of the Lord concerning it. This revelation, known as the Word of Wisdom, was the result. The first three verses were originally written as an inspired introduction and description by the Prophet.
19, Use of wine, strong drinks, tobacco, and hot drinks proscribed; 1017, Herbs, fruits, flesh, and grain are ordained for the use of man and of animals; 1821, Obedience to gospel law, including the Word of Wisdom, brings temporal and spiritual blessings.
1
A aWord OF Wisdom, for the benefit of the council of high priests, assembled in Kirtland, and the church, and also the saints in Zion
2 To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the
aword of wisdom, showing forth the order and
bwill of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days
3 Given for a principle with
apromise, adapted to the capacity of the
bweak and the weakest of all
csaints, who are or can be called saints.
4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of
aevils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of
bconspiring men in the last days, I have
cwarned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this
word of wisdom by revelation
5 That inasmuch as
any man adrinketh bwine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.
6 And, behold, this should be wine, yea,
apure wine of the grape of the vine, of your own make.
7 And, again,
astrong drinks are not for the belly,
but for the washing of your bodies.
8 And again, tobacco is not for the
abody, neither for the belly, and is not good for man, but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be used with judgment and skill.
9 And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.
10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome
aherbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man
11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with
aprudence and
bthanksgiving.
12 Yea,
aflesh also of
bbeasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used
csparingly;
13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be
aused, only in times of winter, or of cold, or
bfamine.
14 All
agrain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
15 And
athese hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.
16 All grain is good for the
afood of man; as also the
bfruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground
17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.
18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments,
ashall receive
bhealth in their navel and marrow to their bones;
20 And shall
arun and not be
bweary, and shall walk and not faint.
21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the
adestroying angel shall
bpass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.

Noobies soon learn that the old timers will point out that fact that they need EVIDENCE to back up their assertions, if they want to be taken seriously on FR.Really? That's all you got? Noobies?
Someone assures us the 4 SCOTUS judges, all in their late 70s- past the age of an expected life span- will be in their seats for another 4 years... And --- I --- need to provide proof? He's not the only one who's delusional.

So, lemme see if I have this right.
I say vote for Romney to deny Obama a 2nd term and you say vote for Goode to ensure that he does.
Do I have that right? Is that really your analysis.
Are you also comparing the nation today to 1857? Americans are waking to the threat that we face and are acting on it or did you miss the 2010 midterms and the Wisconsin recall?
Romney is by no means my 1st, 3rd, or even 5th choice. But he is now the only choice that has a chance to remove Obama.
Hasn’t Goode been a dem and a pubbie before seeking a new home in the CP? What does he believe? How do you know that he won’t revert to his dem roots? What chance does he have to win? In what may (or may not) turn out to be a close race (with massive voter fraud), even the 1/2 of 1% that Goode might garner, is more than the anti Obama vote can afford to lose.
I do appreciate your view and your passion. Believe me, I have made every argument that you are making against Romney and probably for a lot longer than you have. However, this is crunch time. We either remove Obama or we witness the total destruction of the nation. At best, Romney is a place holder until we can get a real conservative on the ballot.
As I told a dear friend who still holds your position, I disagree with her but I won’t say she is wrong. She is just differently impassioned.

Romney appointed NOTHING but liberal judges as Governor of Massachussetts.
Wake up and understand that the future for us in America holds NOTHING but consequences. The time has come and gone for good men to make a difference. All we can do now is remain true to God through the adversities which surely come, and pray for individual protection. The country is beyond saving by men, and we as a nation have turned from God.

Thank you for admitting you are going to help re-elect Obama.
Thank you for providing another fine example of the mindlessness of the ABO crowd.

I'm likely on your enemies list by now already. But I'd like to be certain of it as I don't want to miss out on SVCW's barbecue. I won't be voting for any liberals on the ticket in November -- and that most assuredly includes Romney.

I was only able to bring myself to read 110 posts, they became more repetitive and stupid.
Ugh. That means you are likely under-reporting your list of genuine conservatives. Darn it. I'm afraid some good FRiends are going to miss out on SCVW's BBQ.

Vote for someone good, that is all God asks. If there is no one good to vote for, write in someone good. For me that is George Washington.
Obama is evil. Romney is blasphemously evil.
Realize there it is too late to change anything with a vote, and God is restraining the modern day counterparts of the Lexington Green and Concord Bridge stands. What has begun and follows for this country is God's judgement on a sinful nation.

I'm shocked that there are those of you that blatantly would rather have a Muslim Marxist born in Kenya, who is destroying our nation, all the while calling us racist and engaging in class warfare, race warfare, divisions across the board, over a good family man who is a moderate but loves America!? Just because of your bigoted views of his religion?
Folks like yourself amaze me... And NOT in a good way... Pathetic

Says the keeper of the "snitch" list....
Seriously, your obsession with the Flying Inmans and keeping of an enemies list is psychotic.
Many FReepers disagree with our mission against mormonism, but there is evidence of a seething hatred evidenced in keeping a list. To what end? Are you going to report our FR screen names to Romney? To the mormon church leaders? To the TBL folks? They already have our screen names.
My opinion is that you have singled us out as a target because you just can't stand being disagreed with due to your early FR sign-up date. Well, your foolish vendetta is costing you some of the respect you have had on FR in the past.
I suggest you zero in on Obama and accord to ALL FReepers the right to vote their own consciences. It really ISN'T your call.
