“It matters, and you should never compromise your morality. But you do have to keep things in perspective.”
Rush, you say “never compromise your morality”, which voting for Romney would do...then you contradict yourself and waffle by saying “keep things in perspective.” Rush...it is YOU THAT ISN’T KEEPING THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE!
I still like you Rush, but on this you are just plain wrong...as is Coulter. Romney DOES NOT deserve our support anymore than Obama. The “Prize” is getting a conservative POTUS....voting for Romney WILL NOT accomplish that, and it may actually hamper it.
I wonder how many may stop listening to Rush now? Another sell out to the GOPe! I can hear the clicks all over the U.S.
>> Rush, you say “never compromise your morality”, which voting for Romney would do
In my calculation, fewer nascent lives will suffer from abortion with Republicans in 3 Houses notwithstanding the fact that Romney has indeed betrayed Life. My vote wouldn’t necessarily be for Romney, it would be for Life. A 2nd term for Obama would keep the Life threat elevated.
The risk is well distributed on the few options we have. Romney could certainly pull the Republican party Left, but the GOP could also lose both Houses in 2014 with an Obama 2nd term; Leftwing Media and Obama would own the national dialog denigrating the “uncooperative” House Republicans in a two-year campaign. An Obama victory would continue in a campaign momentum to rid DC of Congressional GOP control.
Despite our diverging expectations, there’s no indifference to Life.
hamper it?? Do you think it is moral to lose more jobs and have more businesses go out of business if Obama is reelected? We will not survive with four more years of this destruction. At Least Romeny has the free enterprise ideals for heaven sakes!
I pinged one of them! I've also noticed that where the Rush daily show threads on Free Republic used to easily net 200 posts and more, over the last six months, the threads have dwindled such that on many days, they barely break 100, and often languish somewhere between 37 and 60 posts. The other day I saw one up to more than 200 posts, so I figured maybe Rush had said something courageous ... turns out most of the posts had to do with cooking. :^{
What you wrote was almost a mirror reflection of my own reaction to Rush's words -- I read where Rush urged "never compromise your morality" but considers voting for 100 percent liberal-agenda-pushing Romney because he's registered in the Republican party as "keeping things in persepctive," and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You ought to hear Windflier go off on it, and Windflier is absolutely correct.
Rush's advice to his listeners regarding Romney can only be one of two things: either he truly believes that electing a liberal statist like Romney isn't going to sanction and increase government tyranny ... or he lacks the courage to stand on his own and tell the GOP-e where they can stick it. EITHER WAY, Rush is on the path to profound failure of everything he's stood for. I pray that he recognizes soon that he's chosen the wrong (and easier) road, and finds the courage to do switch to the path that is HARD but RIGHT.
