Open question: Where do you think we would be (politically, strategically, etc.) if John McCain had been elected in 2008? What do you think would have happened in the 2010 elections? Would there be a viable Tea Party movement?

Don't confuse the fear-mongerers and fearful with an objective point.

That unsettles them.

SCP, I admire your passion, I sincerely do. But I'm baffled by the apparent extreme angst you have towards the GOP establishment. Perhaps you've had more direct dealings with them to raise your ire, but as for me, I don't really care to give them more than a passing thought.

For me it's pretty clear; there is a fire raging. Call the fire progressivism, socialism, communism - take your pick. It doesn't matter to me who the GOP does or doesn't' support - or promote.

The election is not about me and the GOP - it's about the raging fire - and I've got my little bucket or water.

If Romney reneges on his pro-life conversion, then may his political soul be d@mned. But my doubts about his sincerity are not going to stop me from charging into the burning fray. I've got a bucket dammit - and I'm going to make the best of it...

Save your graphics,friend.

The point is not whether Romney is flawed, a liar, or whatever.

The point was that Romney is WORSE than Obama, which is not true.

While Romney’s list may be long and multicolored, Obama’s list would take pages.

A second term would give him a mandate which would make him unstoppable.

And make you wish you had voted against him in a way that counted when you had the chance.

To me, voting for Romney is easier than voting for McCain. At least Romney didn’t spend eight years on CNN and other tv venues trashing the Republican president and stalling Bush’s agenda in the Senate.

Palin or not, I couldn’t support such a traitor.

Romney concerns me about several things but at least I have no doubt which party he supports.


No, Romney just did the following:

1. Wholeheartedly supported Abortion
2. Implemented, unconstitutionally, Gay Marriage in MA
3. Implemanted an Assault Weapons("Scary Looking") Ban
4. Raised Taxes/Fees by $700 Million
5. Implemented Socialized Medicine
6. Wholeheartedly supported and believed in Global Warming, to the extent of coming within a hairs-breadth of implementing a Regional Cap-and-Trade system.


Most of this McCain wouldn't have touched with a ten foot pole, but you think McCain was much worse than Romney.

You are ignorant, my Friend, of Romney, maybe willfully so.

With regards to your statement concerning having no doubt which party he supports, given the evidence, once again I question your knowledge of anything where Romney is concerned.

And Romney, with his liberal policies will destroy the GOP as a home of any conservative thought or leadership for years to come.

That graphic very cleary shows how little difference there is between your boy Romney and that crypto-communist Obama.

The end result will be the same as it was in Massachusetts, he will destroy the GOP into something meaningless.

I have no doubt that Romney will renege on his supposed Pro-Life conversion, and will fully implement the Homo agenda and find a way to implement an Amnesty while saying it is something else.

You are taking the short view, driven by fear and manipulation by the GOP-E, while the long view has Romney destroying the GOP as a home for conservatives and with no conservative leadership.

By voting for Romney, you are actually surrending the war for conservatism for the current battle you fear.

I’m no fan of the GOP.

I have written many times that I would favor the founding of a third party for conservatives, right after the election.

So, I don’t fear the destruction of the GOP.

But there is more at stake, and a more important task at hand, 81 days from now—that is to get Obama out of the Oval Office.

If Obama stays in, the destruction he will wreak will make Romney look like a Cub Scout.

Sorry, not buying your Chicken Little, "The Sky Is Falling" routine.

The only reason we have a congress as conservative as we have right now, is Obama.

The only reason we have the Tea-Party so energized, is Obama.

With Romney, the GOP Congress will go along to get along, there will be no conservative fight anymore.

And the only reason Obama has been able to do as much damage as he has, is because of Boener and McConnell and their lousy, GOP-E leadership.

You running because of irrational fear, and throwing your conservative principles overboard because of that fear.

The founders only had 30% approaval during the Revolutionary War, they faced off against an unbeatable British army that was the best trained and most successful in the world.

They didn't run because of the odds or because of what would have been a more rational fear than you have.

My FReind, we may have to agree to disagree.

You have your doubts - I have mine too. We disagree on the course of action perhaps.

Please understand, I don’t fear the battle. Battles are a time for action.

If anything, I fear a cage - self-imposed or otherwise...

Courage!
(as Kenneth would say 8^)

What the ABR’s don’t seem to understand is that 4 more years of this thug in the WH means misery for millions and millions of jobless people, economic despair for the nation, a lost generation of young adults who can’t find work or start a life.

Is their hatred of Romney so strong that they feel this is an acceptable outcome to show their disdain for Rommey?

Romney isn’t Reagan, but I agree, I will vote for Romney/Ryan. To do anything else is unthinkable.

Mark,

You’re not alone here. Many of us supported other candidates for the Republican nomination. We lost. But we’re adults. We know we don’t always get what we want. The world is not an ideal place. Life, unfortunately, is a series of compromises. ETC.

But, it is imperative that we do all in our power to see that the Great Destroyer doesn’t get four more years to finish his work. And the ONLY legal and effective way to do that now is to get Romney elected as President of the United States. Let me repeat that. The only legal and practical way to remove Obama from office is to elect Romney.

As a consequence, I’ll be voting for R & R, and I will be urging others to do the same.

My take on Romney is that he is more the professional politician, tailoring his positions and messages to the audience, than he is a committed ideologue.

No unwavering full spectrum conservative could get elected or influence policy in Massachusetts. Anyone who climbs into the arena there will get their hands dirty. If people think its hard to hold their nose and vote for a suboptimal option in one election, imagine the lousy options he had to choose from every day in Massachusetts. Romney was pragmatic and disciplined enough to do what it took to get power and influence the action there, pulling policy to the right (relative to MA), getting an American Conservative Union rating of over 88 and balancing the budget in the process.

Who is he at heart? A hard working pragmatic executive who gets excellent results. If his goal is to get elected, he does what it takes to succeed. I believe that he ran on a socially liberal/fiscally conservative platform in MA and honored it after the election. That is what it took. He can get things done.

The contract that he is offering to this more conservative nation is a more conservative one. History indicates to me that he will honor what he runs on, has a knack for picking good people, and manages like a top tier pro.

Obama Must Be Defeated!
