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!

considering that lies and flip-flops are all part of Romney's stock in trade,

Exactly! And did you notice how easily he can bend people's minds? They are like clay in his hands. Evil are experts at that and they prey on the WEAK!

Hey Noob (though I have a feeling that retread is your actual status), you've been pimping Romney all over this thread so don't try to pretend you aren't. However, what really pisses me off is your smug attitude with long-time established FReepers.

*******************************

Very possible. I had originally posted the sign-up date of NE Cons to someone who had mentioned that they had noticed a number of Romney promoters who had recent sign-up dates, and if I recall correctly, thought they might be Romney operatives. This particular poster seemed to have a very antagonistic attitude right out of the gate, which is not typical of the average newbie.

I abide by the rules... If you don't like it, that's too bad. It's called an opinion for a reason.

Opinions change as do FEELINGS - nothing too rock solid there - wishy washy fencesitter!

Anybody but Romney? UltraChristian conservatives? Nah; no bias there. Rejected on grounds of snottiness.

Romney will probably win. But he will not win with my vote. He's going to have to count on there being enough godless liberals and unprincipled conservatives who will vote for Romney out of fear of another 4 years of Obama.

Are people necessarily "godless and/or unprincipled" just because they do not agree with you?

Just because I want to remove a criminal enterprise from the Oval Office, this doesn't mean that I'm motivated by "fear." It means I'm boiling MAD at the creep that is trying to destroy the United States of America and everything she stands for. With impunity, evidently — because people like you don't mind that he stays in office, to wreak more anti-God havoc on a nation conceived to be "under God."

After only God alone, I love my country. And will speak for her well-being, according to whatever Light and Grace has been permitted to me by the Holy Spirit of God.

But I gather you believe I am an "unprincipled conservative."

Okay, fine. I can live with that. For God's Truth is finally NOT an "opinion" — neither mine nor yours.

Just do what you think you ought to do. As you say, since this is a "matter of conscience," it cannot be otherwise....

You have First Amendment protection for this sort of thing — until such time as Obama destroys the First Amendment....

Meanwhile: Go in peace, dear brother in Christ.

The retread-troll 'NE Cons' pompously sputtered the following in response to my post #559...

Zzzzzz. Sorry, no interest in interacting with you.

To which I say to you all:



Now YOU guys can deal with him, I'll sit back and enjoy the show! ;)

(Keep asking when he got zotted last time, that seems to hit a raw nerve with that RomneyTroll, lol)

Romney operative? Hahaha... Is that how you justify trying to drive off strong conservatives from his site? I have 450 posts in that time. I've been consistent- nothing touting Romney's policies, but proudly ABO.

Perhaps if you actually took the time to actually read more of my posts, you'd see we agree 95% of the time, on nearly every issue, and we could have good conversations instead of each of you taking turns trying to force a solid conservative off

I responsed to one person who was blatantly anti-Mormom. Guess you're ok with that. That's one. The other - I'm a pragmatist... I view Romney - warts and all- as the only person in the world that can stop Obama... And as such, I support his candidacy... So do lots of other folks here

As my tag line says, I was a huge Palin supporter, then switched to Perry when she opted out... Knowing the ridicule many or you throw towards Perry, I could have said Newt... But thought he was better.

Yeah, I miss piss ant too, he could be obnoxious but never dull.

Maybe someone should start a list of all the FReepers that would rather have Pissant back with us in place of some of those folks presently insulting and lecturing others because of their voting choices.

Since this particular thread has been sanctioned, why not?

SoConPubbie listed reasons why conservatives should NOT vote for McCain. Once again you demonstrate a lack of comprehension, you opine that if one does not support McCain (or in this case Romney), they automatically support 0bama, which as I already pointed out to you, is a LIE.

mkjessup,

MindBender26 is both ABO and POP (Party over Principle) and as such, he/she does not have a problem lying about others as he has about my motives on this thread. This is standard stock and trade for those suffering from POP.

Ignore the evidence of Progressive Liberalism in both McCain and Romney's record because they are Republican. They will accuse you and I of being DU members, Obama supporters

They lack any true adherence to conservative principles.

They truly are Party over Principle types.

And as for me, I pulled for the Dodgers until they moved then I rooted for Stan and the Cardinals before I went back to the Dodgers for Drysdale and Koufax and now I enjoy college baseball more.

All I did was post your sign-up date in response to someone else’s post, and copied you out of courtesy. You’re responsible for what happened from then on, since you made an issue of it. You could have simply ignored it, but your arrogance and anger wouldn’t allow that.

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!


Thanks mkjessup.

The false accusations are just the sputtering of pretend conservatives failing in their attempt to cover for the lousy record of Mitt Romney, a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal.

It sure has the flavor of the MittBots of '07-'08, and given the nasty, nasty primary campaign recently run by Romney looks to be deliberate.

For God's Truth is finally NOT an "opinion"

Finally? It NEVER was nor will it be - TRUTH IS TRUTH. There is ONLY ONE TRUTH, Jesus The Word.

"That shalt not Kill" - so it is 'your opinion' it's OK to vote for someone who instituted abortion in their healthcare? And you say After only God alone, I love my country. Really, where do you fit GOD in abortion?

according to whatever Light and Grace has been permitted to me by the Holy Spirit of God. Is someone preventing you from reading HIS WORD?

He gave HIS Holy Spirit inspired WORD, His Word is the Light unto our feet. You might want better understanding of HIS WORD if you say whatever Light and Grace has been permitted to me by the Holy Spirit of God.

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

"Therefore a MAN shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his WIFE, and they shall become ONE flesh"

Who was the first governor to initiated same sex marriage under his power? Again, where does your after only GOD alone - fit in? Seems more like God is on the back burner for some while 'claiming' otherwise.

Agreed. If I recall correctly, there were some dirty tricks by the Romney campaign against Sarah and Newt. So much for his "squeaky clean" image. He's a fraud.

You’ve only found 46? Maybe on just this thread. But if you do it for a couple of days and look at many threads, you’d end up with ... well, as of this count, I’m at 93. And I haven’t even finished this thread.
