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!
I agree with you it would be wrong, but we get into RealPolitics 101 here; who has the votes?
Interviewed Tom Delay ( a great man ) a few times. Once asked him
If he was sure his position was the correct one on some issue
His answer was a political classic: “If you have the votes, it doesn’t matter if you are right or wrong. If you don’t have the votes, it doesn’t matter who Is right either!”
I did I did

I hope that you are right. Almost anyone is better than Romney. I just think that from a practical standpoint, Romney will be the nominee.
I agree with you. I do think that this nation has abandoned God.
This nation needs a revival and an awakening. For myself, every time I turn to the flag, I find myself turning to God because that is the inspiration for our Founding. With education and a spiritual revival, ousting the left would be relatively easy.
Wow !
You are praying for your God to kill a man who has committed the crime of beating your favorite candidate in a primary election
I wold reply..... But .....
"Vanquish" means "kill"? In what dictionary?
Finny said “vanquish” dummy...
He used “vanquish” as in beat, remove, replace etc..
Good thing he didnt use “exterminate”
Then youd really have had a cow...
That is blatantly untrue. You insinuate something the poster did not say. That’s not only misrepresenting the actual words used but projecting your thoughts about what was meant. As Joe Smith said: “You lie!”
TOL,I don’t think NE Cons’ll be getting that bonus check in his Christmas stocking from the Romney campaign...
No indeed. A single lump of coal will be all he has to warm him this winter. Too bad, so sad...
Dang! I never could gin up alligator tears.
AFLAC! ;0)
Bender you truly are unhinged.
Finny did not say what you implied.
Cute you are not, you have however a sever case of BHOhysteria.
It's just TOO bad your education is so lacking that you make a claim that is hyperbole...and totally wrong against another FReeper.

You could have gone all evening and until tomorrow morning without saying that.
LOL. I'll be 59 tomorrow, so I feel it too ;-)
Truth, Rita. Hurts, too.
Be sure to take you key with you; as we lock up at night...
That particular liberal RomneyBot loves to make comments then run away from them as you can see here.
Check that thread, it contains many of her rants against FR and Jim. She claims she only comes here when she wants to 'suffer' then runs from posters who respond to her. What a kook.
Cyanide has been used as a form of legal execution and is relatively humane compared to arsenic. Any sane person, if faced with such a decision, has an easy decision to make if these are his only two options. The same could be said about this election. ....let me fill in the cute punch line for you. “Either way you’re still dead”.
