The question is why you jumped on the thread to fight for Mitt Romney?

That's how you would like for it to work.

The way it really works is that your party nominates a liberal candidate, and conservatives don't vote for your candidate, and actively campaign for others to not vote for him.

And your canidate loses (again).

It's a brave new world. Your entitlement to conservative votes has been yanked.

You want that vote? Run a conservative.

Because as I said earlier, birds of a feather flock together.

The entitlement mindset of the GOP is staggering. They act like they have a God-given right to conservative votes.

Just like leftists think they have a right to our money.

Well its the same people after all. They can deny it like Obama denies reality. But reality is reflected in their actions.

Romney would have been a good president. Not my first choice. Not even close. But he would have been good.

Wow -- I'd forgotten! Another plurality win, which made Nixon weaker. George Wallace theoretically drew votes from Humprey, but it was probably like today -- the Republican and Democrat parties were so similar. Nixon created the EPA, for crying out loud.

Most of the voters in America rejected Nixon! Just like most of them rejected Clinton when Perot filled the void left by "Read my Lips" weenie Republicanism. But both were elected by a plurality and lacked any mandate; Nixon ended up resigning, and Clinton was impeached, though not convicted. Coincidence?

Listen, if in 2016 it's the same Democrat vs Democrat Lite as it was in 2012 for the Presidential, I am going to vote for the best limited government candidate on the ballot, which means THIRD PARTY (actually, second party). At BEST, my candidate wins and government gets pruned to bare essentials. At WORST, my vote weakens the mandate of whichever liberal wins, the Republican or the Democrat.

It's the best use of my vote to move things right.

That sure flies in the face of his single term as governor, which he failed at.

He gave up running for reelection and left office with 34% approval after giving the state gay marriage, banning guns, and creating Obamacare.

If you guys would’ve gotten on board when the deal was done in 2012 instead of dogging him because he’s not pure enough we wouldn’t be in this mess today. Own it.

In that case might wanna return to the old ways because the words Mitt Romney and good president don’t belong in the same zip code based on his record.

Your RINO Republicans just pisssed all over the Iraq war dead and all those currently missing pieces by standing back and letting Barry give it back to terrorists.

Own that.

We promote/select conservatives in the primaries, as in selecting Brat over Cantor. Failing that, we vote against the other side (0bama) in the general even if it means voting for a candidate who seeks to implement the same agenda as the other side. That’s how it works fails, folks.

There. Fixed it for you.

Voting "against" is in your imagination. A vote is ONLY EVER for something, or for something else. Voting "against" is in your dreams. In the waking world, you only get to vote "for."

Time to wake up in time for 2016.

First, “pulling people’s chains” is called trolling, second you weren’t lying then, you are lying now.

Your being a nasty romneybot goes back many years.

“Actually dear lady, the final “checkmate” is not your play to make. It will come when the Romneybots finally overplay their hand and the powers that be toss them.
My question would be is Romney really worth that.”

You Romney haters all use the threat of JimRob tossing anyone who disagrees with your viewpoint of Romney, don’t you. You know he doesn’t like Romney, and you play that up and hide behind that fact all the time. How very cowardly, and how anti-First Amendment rights of free speech. It appears you are the ones that act in a fascist manner, just like the Dems, threatening with the likes of shutting down talk radio through legislation to stifle any speech you don’t want to hear. Stand on your own two feet and can the threats, toots. It is very very unattractive and you are giving a supposedly free speech forum a very bad image. Grow up. I despise bullies.

See if you can dig up my encounter with her in the past year. took place over 3 days and all she did was scream bully, push liberal ideas and blame everyone but her liberal candidate/philosophy for America’s woes.

Males for a masterclass into the mind of a GOP sycophant.
