Thanks for the support. What you see here is actually the type of thinking that got so many conservatives votes split in the primaries and why we got Romney in the first place. Now these same people are GOING TO STAY HOME because they don’t have the ‘candidate’ that they want (... and forget about the ‘real enemy’ - it’s all about the ‘pure’ candidate).
It’s like fighting a fire to keep the house from burning down, and someone doesn’t want to help because the ‘water hose’ is not the ‘ideal’ water hose!
Fricking Unreal!!!
This election is a fight for the soul of America. The enemy sappers are inside the wire,and we have individuals who are concerned with the “purity” of the firebase commander who is leading the counterattack? Unreal!
I’ve been here at FreeRepublic for a very long time, and I thought I understood how we think here, our ideals, how we feel about America. If we don’t excise the cancer in the WH, we won’t have America as we once knew her. Not voting for Mitt Romeny is the same as voting for the lying Kenyan usurper who squats in OUR White House.
What I think the I-won’t-vote-for-Romney crowd doesn’t understand is that we got Romney because we didn’t have enough votes, at the right time, in the right places to defeat him. Moreover, we don’t have a strong leader. You go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had or the army you hope to have one day (Rumsfeld, ca. 2003). Then you get your people in everywhere you can.
For example, we should have an organization dedicated to getting conservatives into schools, academia, appointed government positions. That’s where you have to fight them, for now.
Sometimes the fire is so bad, playing with the hose just wastes time and you have to go with demolition to keep the fire from spreading. I think that's where we're at. The GOP will collapse before the country does, so perhaps that will avail.
There isn't enough water in the Romney hose and furthermore, it has been known to spew pro-abortion, pro-gay, socialized medicine crud.
