I have been posting at FreeRepublic since 1996... (then about a gazillion rambling lines snipped)

Too long, tried to read, didn't make any sense.

Presume the gist of your diatribe is that Romney is a RINO, a Morman and/or something else you disapprove of. We've heard it all before and it's probably all fairly accurate, or at least based on a nugget of truth. It may have been interesting the first dozen times I read it, but now it's just boring.

Want to capture my attention? Name a viable alternative to the GOP candidate. I already know Romney stinks, but Obama is stinkier. Romney also seems to lead among all those other demographics on the political right as well as some disgruntled right-leaning dems. Conservatives ain't the only folks registered as Republicans, you know. We can't push a candidate over the top by ourselves -- presuming we could get our rear-ends unmounted from our shoulders and *agree* on a candidate in the first place...

So,unless you can come up with a more viable alternative that can beat Obama, I'm voting for the GOP candidate. If you just want to recycle the same old crap we already know about RINO Romney, then you render your opinion worthless. Give me someone who can take the lead from Romney among the folks currently polling in Romney's favor. If you can't do that, then you aren't bringing anything new to the table. In which case, why should I not simply ignore you as background noise?

This is a self-defeating prophecy. If enough conservatives band behind a Virgil Goode, a Tom Hoefling, or anyone else for that matter, you can give YOURSELF someone who can take the lead from Romney. That's how the Tea Party was built -- individuals banding together to make a positive electoral difference.

To make it work, though, you have to think outside the box of the traditional Grand Old Plantation. Is it a long shot? Absolutely. But no cause worth winning was ever handed to anyone. It had to be earned.

In short, put your shoulder to the wheel and help instead of waiting for victory to come to you. If you know "Romney stinks", as you say, what do you have to lose?
