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!

If that were the only choice, Romney or Obama, your trick question to force a desired response might be valid. But, those two candidates are not the only candidates that I may select.

Virgil Goode looks mighty good.

...the reality of the entire situation is, America is going to elect Romney or Obama.
Which one do you want making SCOTUS nominations?


Well in the meantime while we're waiting for someone on the SCOTUS to either retire or check out, do tell us:

Did you ever find any post from SoConPubbie which advocated, implied or hinted that conservatives should vote for 0bama in 2008?

Everyone is anxiously awaiting that evidence, ok? Don't keep us in suspense!

Elsie, I’m not the one who made that statement. My comment is in response to the poster who did.

So, what are some of your other FR names?

Nobody is "taking turns" with you, if anything we're just giving you a little more "street cred" on the anti-FReeper sites.

As of now, he is the placeholder for my vote. Still am expecting more events to unfold before our very eyes...before November.

The ABO crowd will SURELY be disappointed if the DEMs decide NOT to put Bammy back up for President and decide to go with someone who looks GOOD compared to Mitt!

OK Elsie, I'm beginning to believe you when you say that you are very, very old!

No, but their FACE is sure familiar!

Well in all fairness, there is a major difference between the death cult known as Islam (and specifically their terrorist operations arm, al Qaeda), and the Mormon Church:

Islamic terrorists show up at your door with a bomb and blow your ass up.

Mormon missionaries show up at your door with books, movies, brochures and what not, and bore your ass to death. ;)

And if I was 35 again, I would be a lean stud.

But I am not 35, nor a lean stud, nor will Mr. Goode be elected.

To me, it's the worst kind of selfishness to deliberately allow Obama to win by wasting a vote.

Nah...

The WORST kind of selfishness to deliberately vote for Obama!

Nah...

It's the worst kind of STUPIDITY to deliberately run a member of a heretical religion in an attempt to oust Obama from power.

And here I thought that only Obama was keeping an enemies list!

Exactly. But don't you enjoy seeing who the REAL liberal, pro same sex marriage baby killing freaks are here on conservative FR who have finally outed themselves?

Empty barrels make the most noise so they are easy to spot! Liberals always 'try' to force their evil onto to others - misery wants company. They WILL get their misery but NOT company they seek.

LOL, now that's funny Wbee!

My view is if the mods will allow an obvious retread to come back and talk smack to FReepers who have been here for years, I think they should invite Pissant to come back, he was never as odorous as the current n00b we're spraying the RAID at, lol

I'm purt near 67 years old and have never been visited by mormons. I feel so ronry.

Lots of J.W.s and even moonies about 30 years or so ago but nary a mormon.

Maybe they have a "list" like one of the posters on this thread, the "do not vist list", let him go straight to mormon hell.

Every general election is either the more-conservative candidate, or the more-liberal.

I don't vote "on the curve."

Is that what you base your vote on? Who you think will be elected?

If you have so little faith in the new conservatives the Tea Partiers are working to get elected to Congress, don't you figure they'd roll over even quicker to liberal Romney, since he's the defacto leader of the Republican party? How on earth do you rationalize that they would fight Romney at all, if you think they wouldn't be able to check Obama?

Voting to weaken the victor's mandate is the only way we can give all those conservatives we voted for down-ticket the chance to see a weak, defensive statist president whom they can DOMINATE.

Your false mantra is to claim that refusing to vote for Romney "helps" Obama. Here's the truth: whether you mean to or not, voting FOR Romney is helping liberal statism. There's only one way to avoid doing that -- vote for SOMEBODY ELSE and let the chips fall where they may. Our Founders designed a pretty good system for voters. LET IT DO ITS WORK.

It's like this: ABO is founded in fear and touched with hysteria. Fear and hysteria lead to bad moves and mistakes, and have pretty much since Adam. That is a HUGE WARNING SIGN that ABO is bad strategy.

Excellent post.
