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!
Love your tagline. :)
That is SO well said!!! LOL! In a sad way, but hey -- we are cheerful warriors. I truly believe that ALL of us here, even the reluctant ABOers, have it within us to CONQUER this scourge of statism.
Looks like NE Cons got the zot.
The idea that Virgil Goode or Tom whatshisname is a perfect and totally principled alternative is laughable.
I’m amazed that he lasted so long. :)
Regardless of what some try to tell us, we don’t have to choose our poison in November.
Well, some are more active than others and some are linked through ping lists which encourage people to come on and make outrageous attacks and accusations.
Some will jump on occasionally to make a post and some come on a thread and just keep posting the same idiocy, some of it that annoying cut and paste stuff.
It is really sad and strange when a conservative (me) who has been here longer than anybody and who has always been conservative is viciously attacked because she is supporting Romney.
These people defend themselves by all sorts of weird mindsets about Romney and have convinced themselves somehow that he is worse than Obama.
Obama openly supports abortion (even late term), gay rights, socialism, higher taxes, a destructive EPA wich is killing our economy.
His administration doesn’t seem to have an honest person in it and some obvious criminals and many socialists.
This is a fact.
So why anyone would vote for him I can’t understand.
And it reeks of hypocrisy because none of them will admit they are voting for Obama, which it’s obvious that they are.
It’s totally weird. I’ve never said one non-conservative thing.
***********************************
Agreed. Such arguments are unconvincing. We've been through this before.
He stold it and I was there when he stold it. I saw it happen.
I made a vow that I would NEVER vote for a candidate who was pro-abortion. Romney's record as a pro-abort is as bad as Obama's.
No one is perfect, no one is totally principled, not even you, no one is even close.
Not all imperfect people are radical pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality, pro-gay marriage, pro-gay adoption. I think there are some sinners out there who aren't quite in the same league with Romney. I'll vote FOR them.
The Sage Of Free Republic. Everybody listen up now.
Lets have a real contest and see who has been on earth the longest. I vote for Elsie.
The idea that Virgil Goode or Tom whatshisname is a perfect and totally principled alternative is laughable.
****************************
I'm not asking you to vote for anyone.
**************************
Prove it.
Vote for your favorite. If Virgil Goode is your favorite, then vote for him. If Tom (whatshisname) Hoefling is your favorite, then vote for him. If Romney is your favorite, then vote for him.
It’s up to you, but no matter which candidate gets your vote, vote with pride and let the chips fall where they may.
And, trust God.
:)
Agree. But is Tom Hoefling a hobbit?
And just for general info, my list of folks who are ABOOR, like you and me, is at 97 FReepers. The only reason I started compiling this list a few days ago was to see just how much we were in the minority. I expected there to be maybe 60 of us.
I am pleasantly surprised and encouraged, if only to know that I am in such sizeable good company. I realize that we are only FReepers, but I pray that millions of non-FReeping conservatives correspond with our thinking on this, that Romney needs to be rejected regardless of the scare tactics of Obama Hysteria.
Pray for a miracle. I'm praying that the Almighty vanquish Mitt Romney before this November and elevate a limited government Republican in his stead.
Check my nearly 500 posts here and tell me where I pimp Romney and his views...
