What Were All of You Thinking?
American Thinker ^ | 11/14/12 | Robert Oscar Lopez

Posted on 11/15/2012 4:23:11 AM PST by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle

***SNIP***

[L]et's be honest. We had little reason to believe that Romney was truly dedicated to improving our social and cultural conditions -- indeed, that all-important thing called the human condition -- because he talked endlessly about his business experience. Most Americans don't like their bosses and have trouble with landlords and creditors. Talking about one's business experience is not usually a good way to win them over.

On election day, it became clear to me that the Republican Party had been led into Purgatory by the Laodicean wing. In case you aren't familiar with Revelation 3:14-17, here is what God says in that text:

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked[.]

Here's the simple version: stand for something important, damn it. Articulate human values. Be about something more than numbers. Be hot. Be cold. Be a flavor. Don't be Mitt Romney: lukewarm, milquetoast, centrist. The Laodiceans were warned -- God will spew thee out of His mouth. So it came to pass.

***SNIP***

As an Evangelical values voter, I felt like I was the dirty family secret asked to come into the "big tent" through the side flap. In the end, I voted for Romney, but many people like me [...] decided to stay home and spend the day praying to God for strength. At least God, unlike the Republicans, will never forget us or be ashamed of us.

So? Obama's a lawyer. Maybe we should have hung that around his neck at every opportunity.

Yes, we should hang that around every lawyer's neck. The two most destructive organizations in the US are the public unions and the trial lawyers association.

Values don’t get you anywhere when the economy is in the crapper. Unfortunately, it seems like Americans like the economy the way it is.

I voted for Virgil Goode.

Those who voted for either Romney or Obama were willing to vote in a government who would kill innocent, unborn children...in government controled clinics.

That is who Romney has been ever since I first became aware of him. That is who Obama is.

Anyone who would vote for someone who will do that to the most defenseless among us - the unborn - and then criticizes those who stand against it thouroughly deserves whatever they get.

Period.

And they will be reminded of this for the rest of their lives.

When they stand before God, It will be better for them had a millstone been hung around their necks and they were cast into the depths of the sea rather than they had voted in 2012.

In my mind, a lawyer is one who actually practices law.

I'd say 0bama just has an advanced degree in obfuscation.

Actually, you didn’t vote. You pretended to vote for a pretend candidate.

Rather than make a hard decision for one of the two actual candidates, you took the easy, the cowards way out and merely pretended to act.

Lest you forget - Romney also has a law degree from Harvard Law School. He never practiced, but did pass the bar.

I can gulp down iced coffee, I can sip scalding hot coffee, but lukewarm coffee tastes like crap.

Romney should have been something either way, instead he was standing in the middle of the road.

The only thing that bothered me about Romney was that I think he either believes that the human race is responsible for so-called climate change or that he panders to the “demographic” that does.

What most refuse to acknowledge is that it was unlikely that ANYBODY could have beaten the voter fraud planned and perpetrated by the Obama machine. They seem to prefer pointing fingers, blaming Romney and blathering on about Patraeus' sex life.


Col Allen West; "I don't want to see America become like Zimbabwe where people don’t trust their electoral process. If we cannot trust the integrity of the voting system then we are no longer a free republic".

Col West has opened the door.

We must fight election fraud.

It falls on ‘We the People’.

Silence is consent

There’s overwhelming evidence of fraud.- Here

Excerpt from Mitt Romney's reference:

These elections are NOT certified yet. The only way to get this investigated, much less recounted or overturned, is through the Secretary of State of each of the five key states: Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. EVEN IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER STATE you can help. But it won’t do any good to dilute our effort to challenge California or Michigan or other states. Until a major group gets involved to do more, here is the plan: Contact the Secretary of State of the state in question. See contact information below...

We must act NOW.

Start with the election. If we let the Rats get away with this massive voter fraud, we're no better than a bananna republic.

We must keep digging and pounding him every day, in every way we can- phony birth certificate, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, his hidden life, records....

We are FReepers. We must fight!

Those who shrug and accept this atrocity without a fight are not worthy to be called Freepers!

Pervert, I Don’t really care how much you personally want to sacrifice babies to support your unmerited lifestyle of hedonism.

You personally are a coward.

You have never made a hard decision or deprived yourseld in your whole self centered life.

Whine as much as you like.

In the end, you are left with your emtiness, and all you have spent your life on you will recognize was of no worth.

I voted to give you what you personally deserve.

These kids who are being dismembered in the womb have value.
You, not so much.

“Silence is consent”
I sympathize with you, but there are factors that are in play that have totally undermined our democracy.
The most frightening is the total capitulation of the American press, from a watch dog of government to a mouth piece for the administration. with out a free press, there is no democracy. What we have witnessed was a silent coup perpetrated by the press against freedom. This is not going to change.

The Dems have seen that they can win without the white vote. This will be the future of all upcoming elections+promise people more free stuff.
