Its funny voting for Romney is a Vote For Obama they’re both the same person with a different shade of pale they think walk and talk the same crackhead speech ....A real conservative would have already handed oboma his hat and the democrats would be blushing in real shame not this fakery they show for the public ......I’m tired of trying to back someone who thinks they should be president because of who they are and not for what they stand for

Romney is no different from Obama when it comes to political view a commie is a commie no matter what shade the sun shines on them !

GoldenEagles,

I understand what you mean by divine providence.

Here is my approach:

(1) I will pray for a better candidate than Romney (though I had been praying for one all along, and I sincerely wanted Cain).

(2) If God provides a last minute miracle candidate who is more conservative than Mittens, I will vote for him/her.

(3) If not, I am voting Romney.

Finally, I want to be clear on another point. I am not sure if you are a preacher (you may be!) or a arm chair preacher, but your interpretation of the Bible is your own. We humans tend to interpret things as we read them through our own eyes at that single moment. Sometimes, yes, we come back and re-evaluate our stance. It does happen.

However, unless you are a member of the Catholic church, us Protestants have a 1:1 relationship with God, where all our sins are laid bare directly to God in heaven, through Jesus Christ. When I read the Bible, I get this simple message: Christ died on the cross such that whoever believes in Him, the Father and the Holy Ghost is saved. Period. Beyond this simple message, the Bible can be manipulated to any given purpose, good or hateful. Even Satan quoted the Old Testament in the Bible.

One more point on homosexuality: Sodom is often pointed to as the example of God’s hatred of homosexuals. But God’s real problem with Sodom, in my interpretation, was the nasty way the men of the city treated the Messengers of God. They treated them like fresh meat, and the men of the city wanted to rape them.

Now the Old Testament does speak of the problem of men lying with men, however, that area of the Bible also bans shellfish, pork, and dictates all the restrictions that must be put on women who are having their period. I don’t think you can selectively say that homosexuality is banned, and yet choose not to live by the other rules. You can perhaps argue that the New Testament got rid of the food restrictions, but it lifted nothing as it relates to the female menstrual cycle. Are you obedient to the old law in every letter?

Finally, GeronL often likes to repeat the fallacy that not voting will not be a vote for Obama. Technically, yes, you are not directly incrementing Obama’s vote count.

But what GeronL does not tell his victims of his attempt to rationalize his irrational approach to the problem is that you are increasing the power of the votes that Obama receives.

Say you have a small county, 20Kilopeople. In this county, we’ll give a high voter turnout, say, 70%. Let’s say 7Kilopeople vote for Candidate A. Now if Candidate B matched all voter requirements for people who don’t normally vote for Candidate A’s ideology, he’d get 7Kilopeople, and there’d be a run off election.

However, say a key issue in the country comes up. This issue is handled by Candidate A in such a way that Candidate A’s voters will stick with him.

However, the voters who normally vote for Candidate B, are much pickier. About 10% of them definitely don’t like Candidate A’s stance on this issue, but they are not exactly approving of Candidate B’s approach either. What happens is that this 10% of likely Candidate B voters refuses to vote for Candidate B.

So what happens? Candidate A wins, because Candidate A’s number of votes from people actually casting votes is over 50%. Basically by refusing to vote for Candidate B, voters shrunk the voting pool from 14Kilopeople, to 13.3Kilopeople, and Candidate A carries over 50% of the actual cast votes.

So when GeronL tells you that, one has to wonder if GeronL is actually one of the dark agents of death you speak of.

Obama just “came out” today in full support of Sodomized Marriage. Even though every state that has voted on the matter has voted AGAINST this abhorrent practice. The record is 32-0. Four more states will be voting on this issue this election cycle. So why? Why is Obama breaking the traditional campaign advice about running to the center and instead running far to the left? What is going on with that?

Simple: You will continue to watch as Obama breaks with traditional campaigning moves to the Center, and goes headlong to the far left. On the surface you would think that was a move of suicide. But, that is only if you fail to notice that Obama serves an interest far more pervasive than his radical ideology would suggest.

Obama moving to the left, allows Romney to move to the left and still win.

Let that statement sink in. I will say it again.

Obama is moving to the left and is ABLE to move to the left, because it allows Romney to move to the left and still win. And Romney is moving to the left. In North Carolina, a MUST WIN state for Romney, they just voted overwhelmingly to sustain traditional marriage and rejected the “gay” agenda.

Where was Romney? Issuing a press release saying how sorry he was to see his openly gay adviser resigning. He was going on talk shows and saying “we wanted him to stay with our team.” And he said his campaign “does not discriminate in its hiring practices”.

This is intentional and not “bad timing”. I will repeat it a third time: Obama is moving to the left to ALLOW Romney to move to the left and still win. This is design. A short term sacrifice play by Obama to facilitate the demise of the religious right once and for all.

A “Left of Center” Romney means a permanent shift of the electorate away from Principled, Moral and Constitutional foundations, and establishes a new paradigm for what a Republican Candidate can get away with becoming.

For TPTB this is a win win. If Romney is able to move LEFT and still win, they will be free of “us” forever and we become totally marginalized. If Romney loses, his move left has STILL allowed Obama to move further to the left and win.

No matter which result, we are further LEFT leaning than ever before.

The ONLY HOPE: Romney Loses and Obama’s shift is too far and we see a HUGE reaction against it in 2014 and 2016.

A Romney win, as a left of center Republican, means the END of Goldwater/Reagan Christian Right/Tea Party effectiveness forever. And I mean no third chance. End.. for... dot... ever!

Watch it happen. Then... vote accordingly.

it is bad...but military troopers find ways to continue in their great traditions. The murder of millions of babies trumps any other evil that America has ever done! God will not be mocked! Prepare for the fury coming to a “theatre near you soon!”

I’ll be voting a straight republican, fully conservative ticket.

My top pick may not be who the GOP wants me to vote for, but I’m voting straight conservative nonetheless.

and SHARIA and (creeping) POTUS ineligibility
not represent the GOPe?

Obama or Romney? THEY ARE THE SAME.

It becomes a people publicly to acknowledge the over-ruling hand of Divine Providence and their dependence upon the Supreme Being as their Creator and Merciful Preserver . . . and with becoming humility and sincere repentance to supplicate the pardon that we may obtain forgiveness through the merits and mediation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Samuel Huntington - SIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE; PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS; JUDGE; GOVERNOR OF CONNECTICUT (March 9, 1791)

Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers. (October 12, 1816)
I recommend a general and public return of praise and thanksgiving to Him from whose goodness these blessings descend. The most effectual means of securing the continuance of our civil and religious liberties is always to remember with reverence and gratitude the source from which they flow. (June 29, 1826)
John Jay - PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS; DIPLOMAT; AUTHOR OF THE FEDERALIST PAPERS; ORIGINAL CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE U. S. SUPREME COURT; GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK

I’m afraid not voting for Romney will be the certain death of America. It would be foolish to willingly leave this nut in the whitehut. JMHO

What a bunch of BS. Romney loves America, unlike Obama and his wife that hate America.

I find it ironic that nominating a Mormon (who is the grandson of a polygamist) may very well be the death of a party that was founded, in large part, against Mormons and their practice of polygamy.

I cannot, in good conscience, ever vote for Mitt Romney.
