Thanks for putting that up.
Your post shows thoughtfulness and wisdom amongst the yahoos.
I’d like to see a blowout as much as anyone else.
I’d like to see Obama crushed electorally.
I’d like to see those who surround him totally repudiated.
I’d like to see the left run out of town.
But being a realist, I just don’t see this as a given.
This will be a close election, bitter, contested, divisive.
The end result, even if Romney wins, will not serve to unite the nation, but only to further divide it.
If Romney wins (and I believe he will, by a small margin of the popular vote and a razor-thin margin in the Electoral College), expect to see the ‘rats “Wisconsinize” — with the end goal of totally thwarting any Republican efforts to dismantle the ravages of Obammunism.
Romney’s victory (assuming he wins) will mark not the end, but the beginning of a bitter struggle by conservatives and traditionalists to either re-take the nation, or failing that, to take the first steps towards separating from the federals and establishing some kind of “second nation” in which they can do as much....
Starve the beast... States should reassert sovereignty and that is easy for men of character... and deny the gop our votes when they do not deserve it. I have 40 years experience with the gop... I know that what I am saying is true. Every election for the rest of our lives will be the most important election of our lifetime... and nothing will change if WE do not force a change... so I ask you... if not now... when? "Later" no longer works for me and I do not have the luxury of the time to continue to wait for this mythical change. I am only one man but I have decided to try to implement that much needed change and I am not alone. We exist because they feel the pain of our existence. This is good... they will feel more pain in the future.
I truly appreciate your post and I completely understand the "whys and hows" behind it. I spent 40 years thinking and believing the same thing. I do truly appreciate your post and your FReeper civility... and they say that the old FR is dead. Not hardly!
