If only we had that choice.
***We do. No one is forcing you to vote, nor pull any particular lever. It’s just me in that voting booth, and I have to live with my own choice.
A few years ago we had a go-round with a bunch of republicans who were badmouthing a conservative Tom McClintock in the California Guvnor recall race. They said Schwarzenegger was the only ‘realistic’ choice. Later on, a few of them posted their regrets in pushing for a non-conservative. Supporting the conservative is always the right thing to do when you are conservative. Yielding your principles out of cowardice does no one any good, especially yourself.
We are already in the dragster. I will take the pinto which gives me a better chance of bailing out.
I understand what you are saying. When I saw that Romney was winning the primary I told my husband I would not vote for him. I, like you, saw it as giving into the GOP-E. I understand refusing to vote for him. I still considered myself a republican until Romney won the primary.
I will continue to register as a republican so I can vote in primaries but I no longer consider myself one and I have no illusions about Romney. He is a liberal Rino.
While Romney is a liberal, the evidence is too strong that Obama is a Communist. His mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, the family of Valerie Jarette, and the mentor of David Axelrod were all working together in Chicago back in the 1930’s. All were card carrying communists and busy organizing for the communist party. Their hero was Stalin. Do you think it was coincidental that the 3 of them met up in the White House in 2008? I don't.
You say I am cowardly. I say it takes bravery to seek the truth and base decisions on it. It is very hard to accept that there really is a Communist in the White House. It is very hard to accept that the people who worshiped Stalin, in spite of the millions he murdered, were the families and mentors of those who are in the position to cause terrible harm to the people of this country and the rest of the world including Israel.
You call it fear-mongering. I call it truth.
