CUT THE SPENDING ALREADY!! CUT THE GOVERNMENT ALREADY!! RESTORE LIBERTY!!
It is a very tough choice.
I am with you one hundred percent.
There are times in peril, when all men are put into a situation of making a choice between two unthinkable situations. Civil war;shooting your brother or be shot by your brother. The man in the mountains trapped; the only way to escape is to cut off a limb, or wait for death.
Only the defeated man will do nothing or commit suicide.
The undefeated executes the risk and reward formula then makes his choice.
Those are the survivors.
Those are the ones that Darwin rewards with preservation of their gene pool.
Those are the ones that are superior to them that would do nothing or commit suicide.
Premier Romneykov and Chairman Obamakov are the choices we have been given.
We must unite. Mitt must win.
Thank you, Jim. I know what a difficult decision this must have been for you. God bless you.
I look at it this way...If we defeat 0bama then we can have a president that both parties despise. It may help keep him in check.
Jim
I love and appreciate you and FRee Republiuc and I can understand the stuggle you endured to come to your final decision.
But personally I cannot vote for either candidate.
I have put my opinions on the line and spent much of my time and money for nearly 40 years fighting against abortion and other evils which are tearing our country down.
I love America. I am an immigrant and shortly after arriving in the US I enlisted in the military to support my new country. I am a veteran of the United States Air Force and I proudly wore my uniform the day I was naturalized as an American citizen. I cried most of that day with joy at the thought that I now belonged to the greatest country in the world.
I was taught as a child to be thankful for the American soldiers and sailors and marines who fought and died in the Pacific against the Japanese to halt their advance. The American presence in those islands actually stopped the Japanese from invading Australia and New Zealand.
My father often said that if it were not for the Americans, New Zealand would have been easily overrun and conquered. He liked Americans and made several friends amongst those who joined his deep sea fishing club. My father greatly influenced and encouraged my desire to immigrate to the land of our forefathers.
My family lines were some of the first to arrive here from Europe, coming here as esrly as 1623 on the ship the New Netherland to NYC from Holland, and my families investment of their lives and ideas into the founding of early America is a strong source of humble pride for me.
Their belief in God which caused them to flee from their homelands and come to the New World is a motivation that cannot be ignored. They stayed true to God through hardships and tough decisions. I can do no less.
In deciding on a candidate, I have to refer to God and what He would want me to do. Do I ignore what I know to be true about God’s word on social issues or do I stand fast regardless of what might come my way? Do I abandon what I believe about God and His opinions in order to be popular and avoid confronations or do I risk the slings and arrows of those who do not agree with my decision?
God does not call us to be one of a crowd and choose only the safe, easy paths. He warns us that we may be alone with Him in the way He wants us to live and conduct ourselves. When speaking out against abortion before it was a cool thing to do, I was admonished by “Christians” that I was an “enemy of God” and stopping those babies from returning to the God who made them and wanted them back.
Taking a stand against the slaughter of the unborn was a lonely task in those days and few Protestant Christians would join the battle, referring to the battle against the horror as “a Catholic issue” and unimportant. What a different country we would have today if more people had risked their reputations and fought against abortion in those early years.
And what a different country we would have if people had stood for God and country when they voted in the past elections. However they did not and now we have Barak Obama.
Jim, I will not be voting for Willard Mitt Romney nor Barak Hussein Obama.
I do not at this point know who I will put in the top slot of my ballot in Novemeber but I will be voting for Conservatives down the ballot.
I hope I am still welcome in your home here. I intend to decrease my participation in threads that involve political discusions, although there may be little else.
I trust in God to guide America as the people pray and appeal to Him for His mercy and Grace. I do hope there are many praying as they did in 1980 which resulting in the election of President Ronald Reagan.
God is a God of miracles and I am believing for one for our beloved country.

Jim,
I see that you’re STILL struggling with your problem of sugar-coating your feelings on this subject. NOT!!
My paternal grandmother was Mary Louise Robinson of Coshocton, Ohio. Like Crissy Mathews, I get a thrill up my leg when I think that I may be one of your distant relatives.
God bless and keep you and all those who still remember what America — the IDEA — was intended by the Founders to be.
Read my tag line.
Amen, Jim.
I have been going through the same agony as you. I am still praying that Mitt will have a magnificent Spiritual Moment, that will solidify his Place in Christ, and also will Make him a REAL Conservative in his politics.
It’s not impossible. Nothing is impossible with God.
But getting rid of the Lyin’ King is the number one priority right now.
Picking Paul Ryan as his running mate was a real step in the right direction.
Vote, Baby, Vote!
Cut, Baby,Cut!
AND
Drill, Baby, Drill!
(((HUGS)))
Thread of the century!
Thank you, Jim!
Delende est Obama?
I didn’t vote for Romney in the primary, and didn’t want to vote for him in November. At one time I swore I wouldn’t. But I changed my mind, too. It was the 0bamacare decision that sealed it. When Roberts upheld the monstrosity, I knew it had to be repealed, and done quickly. We can’t wait for 2016, by then it will be too late. Once 0bamacare is entrenched in the fabric of our society, it will never be removed. And it is 0bamacare that makes us a 100% Marxist society. The 0bamacare decision made the Constitution a deal letter and destroyed the Republic...unless.... Unless the decision is reversed by Act of Congress and signed by the President. Otherwise, there will be no turning back. Ever. EVERYTHING else is irrelevant by comparison.
I believe Romney will sign into law the repeal of 0bamacare. I KNOW 0bama never will.
That was the decisive issue for me.
Thank you, Jim! Now I can put this Romney/Ryan sign on my front lawn with a clearer conscience! God bless you and thanks for all you do!
Thanks, Jim. That’s worth a donation to FR.
I understand your dilemma, but big government Mitt? No thanks.
In case you missed Jim’s thread.
VOTE THE MARXIST OUT
Thanks for posting this Jim.
This may well be the most gut wretching but important posts of 2012.
A little over a week ago, I came to the same conclusions for all of the same reasons. I know it wasn’t easy, it sure wasn’t for me.
Obama has gotta go.....
—Ryan/and the other guy - 2012
The great problem is that it likely doesn’t even matter who is in office, especially when neither one of them understand the fundamental issues that are causing the debt today. The Mittens campaign has stopped discussion of social security reform, and are even arguing over who is cutting Medicare more. Bottom line, even Ryan’s must dreaded (or praised) plan doesn’t actually cut anything. It is based on voodoo math, fake expectations of “growing” our way out of the problem, cutting one part of Medicaid to increase the spending in another part. It’s all smoke and mirrors, and we are looking at the images they project and are praising them, investing ourselves further and further into the big lie. And that big lie is that we are going to “save” the country on our own. Conservatives don’t even understand what caused the problem to begin with. It wasn’t Obama. It wasn’t Bush. It won’t even be Romney. It’s the ideology behind all of them, a downward spiral that started a long time ago and is only lately becoming more apparent since we are approaching the event horizon.
The only real difference I see here for a Mittens win vs an Obama win is this: If Mittens wins, “conservatives” are guaranteed to be complacent. The reason being that we have embraced “leaders” who don’t actually have any ideas, integrity or honor, but whom we vaunt as having them. The party always comes first when it comes down to it, and people embrace their delusions more readily than they do reality. Obama, at the very least, for the people who do not understand the problem, represents a very obvious problem. Until we can get a new breed of leadership, it is better to be a resisting minority than a complacent majority. Of course, it’s likely none of it matters, as I do not know if it’s possible for us to escape the great economic collapse that is coming with the mindset we have. Perhaps the collapse will do us good, insomuch that tribulation always makes us stronger, provided it does not kill us.
Good for you Jim. obozo has to go and if we have to use Romney to do it, then that’s just the way it is!
