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!

Who is more wise and to whose opinion should I lend more weight with regards to political reasoning?..... Regarding anything that might help reelect Obama? Moi, of course!

You can only write about who Romney will appoint?? Gee, do you even care what Obama is doing and already has done?
As for appointing any left wing nominee, didn’t George W Bush have to withdraw the nomination of Harriet Myers?? Argument disproven.
And a new GOP Senate promises to be far more conservative Tea Party.

(No Obama)
To: luvbach1; DoughtyOne
You don't have to do that to vote for Romney.
Just because a man or woman calls themself a Christian, does not make them a Christian, it's the fruit of their lives, their actions, that make them a Christian and will ultimately prove true or false their confession of faith.
In the same vein, just because an individual calls themself a Republican, does not mean they are a Republican, it's their actions that prove true or false their profession of being a Republican, much less a Conservative.

(Mitt and Obama: They're the same poison, just a different potency.)
To: Little Ray
I feel the same way. It is my blind hatred for Obama that will force me to vote for Romney. I don’t expect he will really be much different than Obama. If he wins, I doubt he will be re-elected in 2016. Perhaps by then we will have a conservative candidate to vote for.
To: fishtank
Nobody has said Romney is a conservative; rather that he would probably be more amenable than the doctrinaire and destructive 0bummer.

Like it or not, folks, those are the facts.
Well try on these facts:
When Romney was Governor, he appointed liberal 'Rats as judges even when he had more conservative Republicans he could appoint.
Romney was a liberal then, he's a liberal now, he will be a liberal for the rest of this days. You can paint the turd any color you want, but it is
Would Romney be an improvement over 0bama?
Sure, the same way Gorbachev was an improvement over Andropov and Chernenko.

To: NE Cons
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!Right on. This IMO should not even be a discussion.

To: trisham
Sorry, but Romneys record stinks. I dont think that there is any reason to believe that he would do any better as president than he did as governor.Even of your statement is right, which it is not, that is not the reality.
The reality is; Obama or Romney, which do you want?

To: E. Pluribus Unum
If Ubama appoints one more radical, we are done.
This is going to be a very hard election for many Freeper's.
For years I have espoused a fact very similar to your posting. SCOTUS is the big prize with this election. The dems know it and it is the one thing that could over ride any doubts they are having about getting O reelected.
This election will set the tone for the republic, maybe for decades, maybe forever.
The liberals know this and will vote to take the big prize besides the presidency. SCOTUS is all we should consider in this election. Liberals know this and will vote accordingly. Those who say they are not voting ARE doing so if the liberals take control for another 4 years.
Letting the liberals win IS voting for Obama, and for conservatives that is committing murder of our republic. Doubt this FACT only at your/our peril.
I am NOT endorsing anyone, and God knows knot Romney. If conservatives got Romney as the only choice besides O, then that is our fault. So starting from 0 (number) is our fault, but starting from "O" (obama) is well along the liberal game plan and exactly what they wish for.
I seriously have been shedding tears over the situation we are in, and pray about the burden we have given ourselves. Either way we have much work to do... I just hope we are not going to start from the hardest position of "O".

This guy came on board FR in 2007 just to try to convince everyone not to vote for McCain.

To: MindBender26
You have one choice; Obama or Romney.Are these the only candidates running? Proof, please.
If you want my vote, you're going to have to convince me that Mitt won't sell us down the river like Duh-bya did.

To: SoConPubbie
All I know is that I feel like an innocent bystander the mob is trying to force me to cooperate so I can share the blame.
If people want to vote for Romney, that’s their business but I don’t intend to share the blame for him being what we all know he is.

As a conservative I have no more faith in Romney’s nominations then Obama’s.

Even Harriet Myers, as unqualified as she was, would be a better choice than anyone the Marxist would appoint.

My statement is correct, but it is also "right".
The reality is that I despise and distrust both.

My point is that these are the BEST we can expect from Romney. Romney’s appointments in Massachusetts were far WORSE.
