Perhaps it's time for a brief reality check for all of us. Personally, my Conservative credentials are intact. I maxed out to Gingich, and also did major fund-raising for The Hermanator. I was the co-founder of the infamous Seminole Seven who forced a court in Seminole County to send a case threatening to disenfranchise 1800 Bush military voters up to Leon County (Tallahassee) for our final victory.
I am not nearly so much pro-Rerpublican as I am pro-conservative, to the extent when I was with network in New York, I was registered as a member of the Conservative Party, not a Republican.
But that is not the real issue. The real issue is that in about four months, America will elect a new president. I wish the Republican candidate was The Newtster, The Hermanator, or Mr. Santorum, rather than Romney.... but to my dislike, we lost that primary battle.
That said, I realize that in the wide, wide world of political reality, either Mr. Romney or Mr. Obama will be elected. No third party candidate has seriously started, much less emerged from the “static.” BTW, if one does, it could be disastrous. Ross Perot begat Clinton in 1992. Had Perot not run, Clinton would have lost.
41 was not all that different from Clinton in some ways, but he was the MORE conservative candidate.
That's what it amounts to now. Romney is far from a true Movement Conservative, but he is certainly MORE conservative than the current resident Marxist, Obama.
America, and every American faces a binary choice. Will we help Obama get elected by voting for him or sitting home, or will we support the more conservative candidate, Romney? If you have a problem with using Romeny’s name in the same sentence with “conservative,” then just call him “less liberal”.
Finally, the issue of trolls. Are they here? Of course they are. DUmmies are politically uninformed, lazy, likely to be ultra thin druggies if male, fat and ugly if female, and probably on some form of psychotropic medication plus welfare, but they are not stupid, so of course they are here.... messing with us.... just as some of us lurk at DU, watch what they are doing, and throw in the occasional grenade just to see who will leap on top of it. I know one FReeper who has 3 DU accounts. Sometimes he even argues with himself just to add to his “creds.”
We cannot ignore the troll factor, just as we cannot ignore the cold hard fact that Romney or Obama will be the next president. Like Romney or not, I simply could not face my grandchildren if I had not done everything (legal) to stop Obama and Obamaism.
Could you?
