Perot gave Clinton the presidency.

(You can read that into it in '92; not '96...in '96 Dole & Perot combined for 49.1%...Clinton had 49.2% in '96)

What we do in the safe states isn’t going to matter. The election hinges on Virginia, Florida, and Ohio.

The people in those states who waste their Romney votes should discuss whether the consequences of a second term can ever be undone by our descendents.

We can't survive another 4 years of O. And if Obama is elected again we probably won't survive another four years!

(So YOU're a religious prophet, eh?)

Or is Romney your political economic Messiah?

Are we to bow down & worship Romney now -- or later???

You'll "prophesy" for us that Romney WILL for 100% certain be our economic savior??? He and him alone & turn around the economy in a single bound?

Where's his superman uniform?

“...Conservatives, especially social conservatives, will turn elsewhere...”

:::::::::::::::::::

And I wonder where that would be? It is really amazing how blind to the big picture some FReepers are. The biggest issue in November is getting Obama out of the White House and cleaning Washington of all the anti-American trash he has created his “bypass ghost government” with. It does not matter WHO the other candidate is.

And when it comes to a conservative perspective, I am almost as conservative as they come. I left the Repubs about a decade ago for obvious reasons, mainly because I am a conservative. So I certainly do not need anyone defining conservatism to me. Especially from the perspective of our Constitutional Republic and what it all stands for, how it came to be, and WHY it came to be.

Time to get real. This is a top-down issue election. If Obama wins it, the Republic is gone. We can handle Romney.

Pray to God the majority of the electorate realize what the BIG problem really is.

Won't happen. He's a Virginia Baptist.

And they are OSAS! LOL!

“In many ways, for conservatives, it might be better to have Obama as president next year rather than Romney,” replied Goode, explaining that “it would be tougher to get through Congress some bad things under Obama than it would under Romney.”

“Take one for the team? Not me brother!”

Romney has no basis for complaint. He too could "take one for the team" by withdrawing so that the party could pick a suitable candidate.

But, he probably won't. And then he'll lose.

Obama rules by executive order. He is also giving billions to thugs.

“The Constitution Party is now, and has been since its inception, devoted to conservative principles.”

If electing Democrats is the result, they will defeat their principles.

The libertarian party says they are devoted to liberty.
Really? They ran a bunch of candidates in state-level Texas races in 2006 and 2008 and as a result turned GOP districts into Democrat ones. Those Democrats voted for bigger govt, more spending, the teachers unions and against the ‘liberty’ agenda. Many of the Republicans they defeated were just *fine* from the pov of ‘liberty’. Brilliant!

When will 3rd parties learn?

Show me ANYTHING you don’t like about Romney and I will show you TEN TIMES as many detestable things about Obama. Virgil is an idiot who barely 15 years ago ran as a Democrat.

Stop being obtuse. Nobody is telling you to bow to Romney, or even like him -- hell, I don't like him at all. Romney is far from certainly our economic savior, and we won't turn the economy around in a single bound.

But we will NOT survive another obama term. How long before he issues a royal diktat executive order banning FR, conservative talk radio, or a host of other things we hold dear in our freedom?

Romney isn't our savior, Romney is breathng room.

It is time to think about buying off Goode, for his own goode interests—and the Nation’s interests.

Romney just went before the Veterans of Foreign Wars, as pro-military group as you can get who OPPOSE openly gay members in the military and oppose military uniforms at gay pride parades.

Find me Romney’s comments, in front of this group that would certainly welcome them...find me his comments condemning military uniforms in gay pride parades.

Give me the link.

Your attitude and twisted sarcasm toward Romney would be better received on DU. They will welcome your cheerleading for an Obama win....and the opportunity to turn the USA into another Venezuela. End of discussion.

If you are standing in lava, a pile of shit is a much better place to stand.
