Are you saying that I am wrong?

I won't if you can show me a significant number of examples of what you're saying.

Indeed..Our vote is our own to use as we choose...At least we still have that freedom.

You're absolutely right.

And may we never lose that freedom.

“Romney is NONE of the above. He is not the solution. He’s part of the problem. Been there, done that.”

Amen! Needs to be repeated over and over. Also, as I keep telling others on this forum that fanatically support an ABO position. Failure to support “Romney” is NOT IN ANY WAY FORM OR FASHION SUPPORT FOR OR HELPING OF OBAMA!

As you clearly state. Romney is NOT the solution! Just as Mr. Obama is to be opposed, so is Mr. Romney. Both are bad and unacceptable.

I don't think you are being honest here.

Either you have been reading the political threads here or else you haven't.

What I describe is there for all to see.

There are many people on FR these days who dishonestly seek to waste the time of those who hate Romney less than they do.

I think that is what you are doing here.

“But it was also the first-fruits of Romney Republicanism.”

We need to see enough conservatives in the House and Senate to keep a tight rein on Romney. And We the People need to communicate our needs/desires to the Reps and Senators representing us. It is possible...

This is an old, oft-posted spiel that is not responsive to the many points that I have taken the time to present, respectfully and honestly, on this thread.

You are going to get Obama or Romney..There it is.
Romney is not the solution..but we KNOW Obama’s Presidential record and KNOW he isn’t the solution.
I am taking my chances with Romney being better with a more conservative House.

You don’t think there’s any chance that Romney with both GOP Houses will sign anything positive into law?

What you're failing to grasp is that there is a far better chance of Romney, working with RINOs and Democrats, of negative legislation passing into law. Everything from a VAT tax to tax increases on the rich to climate change legislation to amnesty for illegals could pass if Romney twists enough Republican arms. Republicans would never allow Obama to pass any of that.

You mean it's so self-evident that you can't point to any single example? I see.

If you live in California, rogue yam, it won't really matter much to the rest of the world whether you vote for Romney or Obama in November. You really don't even have a vote that could possibly affect the outcome, do you?

You're the only one stuck with living inside your head so it's your job to keep yourself sane. Do what you feel is right. Vote for your favorite candidate. If you like Romney, go for it.

But, if you live in California, don't try to convince folks that you're doing it because you think it's necessary to help beat Obama.

Look, I’m not interested in point by point debating, negotiating or compromising away our freedoms. If you’re going to insist on promoting progressive liberalism/statism on FR, you’ll have to get used to my “spiel.” I’m not changing to suit you.

Our God-given rights are NOT negotiable and that’s not subject to debate.

We are the resistance!!

We do not surrender, do not retreat. We reload!

BTW, what is nearly as disturbing as what the Fedgov has become, are some of the fantastic Pollyanna comments ya see. Makes ya wonder if the fedgov has people manning banks of keyboards in the Capital basement.

Take care.

A valid question: will it be easier to reload under Mitt or under 0bama. I believe the Democrat administration made it easier to pick apart Sarah Palin. There’s so much hell America could have avoided even with John McCain as president, but he could not campaign his way out of a wet Democrat union brown paper lunch sack. Mitt can at least half competently campaign.

That's Capitol basement.

Capital punishment never takes place in a capitol. That's how to tell them apart.

Y’all can do as you please, but I am not going to vote for or support an obvious and self-admitted promoter ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OQoBxZZPqU&feature=player_embedded ) of abortionist/homosexualist statism. Period.

I have to stay scarce on the forum these days because I have nothing else to say on the matter and I don’t like the constant flamewars my comments ignite.

I’m pretty much set in my pro-life, pro-family, small government conservative ways and I’m not about to change to help an abortionist/homosexualist statist RINO get elected.

No compromise, no surrender. Our God-given unalienable rights are non-negotiable. I will not support a big-government statist. Period. Live free or die.

Oh, there are plenty of flamefests with or without your comments on the matter. At least you haven’t banned the clothespin nose Mitt voters, or you’d probably ban half of FR.

Is CAPITOLA (capitalized) the capital of capitalism, asked Capitan Nemo?
