As a Life Long Republican, I Will Not Vote For Romney

[Hfcomms]

And that worked out so well with Roberts...

Cha-Ching!!

Amazing the machinations that folk will go through in order to fit their world view. No disrespect intended towards Seeker but we have to realize that the old paradigm is dead and this is not the nation that it used to be. Both parties are being run by thugs and gangsters for the most part or you can just call them globalists for short. None of them have an ounce of integrity and they serve their masters well.....and that isn't the ones who elect them to office.

 

[Josie]

I'm voting for Mitt simply to be opposite the Ron Paul zombies .

Got a chuckle out of this Thomas but I don't refer to them as zombies but more like zealots.

Checked into the rules for write-ins here in Illinois. Not because I'm a Ron Paul supporter but more like a Ted Nuggent fan. Here in Illinois, the Land Of Lawyers and the state that gave you Barack Hussein Obama, our present Imposter-In-Chief, if you lost in the primary, you cannot run as a write-in. Period. So on that rule alone, Paul is out. Then to qualify as a write-in, you (the candidate) have to file a "Declaration of Intent to be a Write-in Candidate" form to every jurisdiction (i.e. County) in the state and with each of the 8 Board of Elections Commissioners. There are 102 Counties in Illinois, so the candidate needs to file 110 forms total. Each one has to be signed and notarized individually. Then to be able to cast a vote to a write-in, a voter can either obtain a vote-by-mail ballot and write in the name of your choice in the special box on the ballot and mail it back in plenty of time, or head to your polling place on elections day and requesting a write-in ballot. A vote for someone not offically running as a write in is a wasted vote and will be tossed (Sorry, Ted). All of you that are planning on writing in Paul's name on election day, might want to check the rules in your particular state. I'd really hate for all those Paul votes not to be counted and give you ANOTHER thing to scream "unfair" about.

Since my own personal motto for this election is "Dump the Incumbent". I will be working to that end. If to gain this, I have to vote for Romney then so be it. I WILL take the lesser of two evils as some call it. No easy answers or choices here. Paul has a snowballs chance, IMHO. Ya might as well vote for that "The Rent is Too Damn High" guy. To believe that he (Paul) is the savior is delusional at best and dangerous at most. Even if he managed to gain the presidency, unless there was a majority in both the house and senate that saw eye to eye with him, nothing would get done. Nothing would change. Too many in that toilet called congress dislike Paul and would do whatever they could to undermine him and his policies. Just my humble opinion.

I'll now return you to your regularly scheduled bickering...

 

[Laurane]

Wow!!! I made it to Ragnarok's DGI List......honored am I......but alas I cannot vote as I am Canadian.

I also believe that we might get through another 4 years if the Republicans (under any President) manage to haul the US economy back up a grade or two, to where people are confident about investing and building businesses......but there has been a generation of people who never developed the urge to build a business or do much more than the minimum to preserve body and soul. And this lack of entrepreneurialism will bite back to where there will be more takers expecting more from the payers......and this will lead to civil strife and people having to decide if and when and where they really want to fight back.

Please will someone tell me what is wrong with Romney "making money for his friends"? As a President he will be making decisions which will make good business sense to anyone who is interested in investing or working or saving or feeding a family. As a Canadian who regularly invests in US equities, I will expect him to "make me more money" if I choose the best investments - and I am not his friend. Some of you think that making money really is evil - doncha know that evil is just putting that money above all else.

How does "I am Canadian" and "we" go in the same sentence regarding US elections?

A 10 min video soundbite comparison of Robama
and Obamney. This is quite startling to witness.

It's OK to discuss religion and politics. Saying that, it's the
mature folks who are most effective and most constructive.
Please consider voting your conscience and not just the
lesser of two evils.

Great post, Rag.

[Dennis Olson]

uh huh, and you presume no one else considers they are also? kind of a leap on your part, but I'm sure you've found the GOD-like PERFECT candidate and all

I love how the scared little sheep justify their actions. Somehow, in their twisted little minds, one either has a "perfect, Christ-like candidate", or it's okay to vote for the devil. Some of you people make me shake my head in wonder...

 

[FREEBIRD]

"uh huh, and you presume no one else considers they are also? kind of a leap on your part, but I'm sure you've found the GOD-like PERFECT candidate and all


(although I thought Obama was supposed to be the Messiah, I was not sure there were others)

uh huh, I guess if abortion is your sole concern then you can write in Todd Akin's name"


I have problems with all the candidates, but the problems I have with Obama and Romney are insurmountable, and I will not vote for them. Outside chance I may vote for a third-party candidate. My state has no write-in option in the general election, only in the primary.

I don't see any candidate as a "messiah"; as it happens, I already have one of those---His name is Jesus.

As far as abortion being my sole concern, it's not, but it's where I start. If I can't trust someone not to advocate killing innocent children in the womb, why would I trust them with anything else? However, the reason I brought up Romney's appointment of the Democrat judge was to point out an instance of Romney not sticking to his own stated principles, and that those who believe he will pick conservative judges are likely to end up extremely disappointed.

 

[Monty]

My vote doesn't matter, Obama will never get WV's electorial votes. So I'm kind of off the hook. I will not support Romney, I will not vote for Romney, I may vote for Gary Johnson. I hope people are right, that if Romney is elected, he will be better than Obama, I don't expect it. Most likely what I expect is if Romney is elected, the conservatives will let their guard down and we will get screwed in ways by Romney that Obama could never dream of accomplishing. Maybe better Obama get's re-elected, we stay on the attack and stale-mate for 4 more years.

As a Life Long Republican, I Will Not Vote For Romney.
Posted on August 29, 2012 by The Watchdog




The last republican I voted for both times I held my nose in the voting booth was George W. Bush in the General election. Al Gore and John Kerry seemed at the time not the kind of people I wanted to see in the oval office. There was a time I voted for the lesser of two evils which was not a good choice. I am guilty as charged. I voted for Dole in 1996 and Ross Perot in 1992. I voted for George H W Bush in 1988 thinking he would be like Reagan. George H.W. Bush was the first President I voted for.

I was inspired to be a Republican during the Reagan years. The actor, love him or hate him, he restored national confidence and our pride as Americans. When Reagan was sworn into office, I was 13 years old. People lost their way and had no will or optimism for the future. I remember when I was 17 years old, our national pride and dignity was restored when Reagan asked the American people for four more years. My Mom and Dad loved Reagan and cried tears seeing Reagan’s flag draped casket on a gun carriage going to the capital building.

The GOP has abandoned the American people. They no longer stand for the principles that made this country great. They have sold out to Wall Street and turned their backs on Main Street. How they played the underhanded games at the GOP convention in Tampa was nothing more than cheating. They are sore losers. They work for the Bankers and Wall Street corporate interest.

In 2008, I voted for Pastor Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party. He is an upright man above reproach who would have served the American people well if he was President. This year I am voting for Gary Johnson who is much closer to Ron Paul on many issues. He has executive experience and like Ron Paul was alienated by the party. Gary Johnson has my vote.

The convention in Tampa should not have been called the Republican National Convention. It should have been called the Romney National Convention. It is a neo-con Romney love fest. It was not a convention, but a dog and pony show. There is nothing about what is going on in Tampa that is Republican at all. They disenfranchised the American people and the Ron Paul supporters.

There is not one difference between Romney and Obama. From government-run healthcare, illegal wars of aggression, the patriot act, the NDAA to gun control. There is nothing that stands out to make a clear distinction between the two. They are both paid for by the same shadow government that hides in the shadows.

I might be blamed for putting Obama back in office because I did not vote the lesser of two evils. Well I choose not to vote for evil. I have to vote my conscience. I cannot vote for evil anymore if it is less or more. As a life long republican. I am not voting for Romney.

As wacky as you act on tb2k, who really gives a rats ass who you vote for.

 

[timbo]

Finished page 1 and now my reply because page 1 reads like every other thread that compares Mussobama and Romney. I will read the other 2 pages though, just for practice.

For you that can't see the difference between Mussobama and Romney..........buy some glasses. And I don't mean the sight of them but what they will do to our country.

So voting 3rd party will sure teach them won't it?

A real old saying: Pride goeth before the fall. You vote 3rd and it will guarantee 100,000% the fall will happen a lot sooner.

I will vote for Romney. And if he does a rotten job, I will complain about it and hopefully if we can last another 4 years, I will vote for someone else. If he does beats Mussobama........and I think Romney will bury him good. A lot. A whole bunch.

I've never been a life long any party. I've always weighed differences and tried to vote my conscience,.
Some years I won, some years I lost.

Such is life.

Getting too old for all this crap anyway.

 

[Bumblepuff]

I'm sorry, but there are differences between Romney and Obama that are frightening/surreal.....

"Yes, the differences are frightening and surreal. I wear a marvelous brain cap which
infuses my mind and soul with charisma, brilliance, compassion, wisdom and love for
my fellow Americans, but my Republican opponent wears silly religious underwear!
I'm warning you indecisive voters that if you elect my opponent, then after living in
the White House for four years, his old undies will reek and millions could suffocate!"

Agreed. On all points, not just your getting too old. We no longer have many people with the insights and wisdom of the Founders. I hope things can be slowed down, at least, but I am not optimistic. I have seen twelve presidents come and go, and it seems that none of them has been able to reverse the decline. No matter who is elected, I fear the march to oblivion will continue. . . unless there is another Great Awakening. Apart from that, things will get better when Jesus returns, and America will probably be a memory by then.

I'm not giving up, just acknowledging recent history.

 

[rhughe13]

A real old saying: Pride goeth before the fall. You vote 3rd and it will guarantee 100,000% the fall will happen a lot sooner.

Close. Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 18-16

When pride trumps sincerity, which can be a short jump, I'd say the verse certainly has merit here. I'd say pride has more so taken over Republican voters that refuse to heed the warnings. What else keeps a voter in that frame of mind except pride, spite or fear? All of which can be validated many times in this thread alone as the reason. Which brings me to the next verse, and the several following this one...

If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people. Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. Ezekiel 33-3

 

[timbo]

Thanks for the clarification rhughe13.

Maybe I should have said 'stiff necked'?

People that want Paul in but should know he has no chance in any way but will still vote for him.

Why?

What is the purpose? What is the goal? To be honest to oneself?

Or is it just delusion? A mirage? Trying to get something and it is a fabric of your imagination?

To be honest to oneself triumphs all those other choices.
If that is your answer, then I applaud you.

To belittle any other opinion takes away from that honesty. Stand for your belief! But not on the shoulders of those that don't believe as you.

This is not directed at you rhughe13 but to those that to either not vote or vote for Paul and think that it is the ONLY way to go.

 

[undead]

I love how the scared little sheep justify their actions. Somehow, in their twisted little minds, one either has a "perfect, Christ-like candidate", or it's okay to vote for the devil. Some of you people make me shake my head in wonder...

The ONLY thing that scares me is 4 more years of the current asshole.

Romney may not be a complete conservative (and I'm not sure there is any), but neither is he a marxist with the goal to destroy the country. And those that don't see the reasons for that make me shake my head in wonder.

[naturallysweet]

Let's be honest, most of our votes don't matter. Unless you live in a 'swing state' such as Florida or Ohio, then we are free to vote for anyone or not vote at all.

I live in Oregon. Obama could eat a litter of live puppies on prime time television with children standing buy crying, and he will still get the Oregon delegates. So I have no worries about giving the election to Obama by voting for Gary Johnson ( or whoever I choose), because my vote won't matter either way.

All I can do is vote against both parties, and show that they don't own us.

I agree with all you say, and my only reason jumping in the thread is for the "wasted vote", or "Your vote ensures O gets elected." Those are the ones that are trying to belittle others voting integrity. I don't usually defend myself or others when this takes place, but feel that If I don't defend myself and my beliefs, then who will? That crowd seems to be growing at a faster rate than the destruction of the country itself. It could be that they are tied together at the hip.

I may or may not vote for Paul. Most likely I will write him in. I've yet to see any other candidate so passionate about my personal freedoms, the God given ones. And that vote will be strictly from my own personal convictions. I'm not afraid of the results or outcomes, of the other two choices, because I have other verses that protect me from that.

It's good chatting with you because I have always enjoyed your posts. I'm not as seasoned as you are here, but am trying to catch up.

 

[Laurane]

Berta - I am Canadian and cannot vote, but "we" as Canadians and neighbors of USA are co-dependent in business with one another.......we actually have to ship some of our gas and oil to you under NAFTA treaty with certain conditions. Our businesses are invested in one another and our dollar floats along with one another's depending on what the USA does in the world at any given time......so when USA sneezes, Canada catches a cold!!

So it is important to Canadians that your President will take enough care of the US economy, that ours is not harmed......put it simply - if the USA is respected in the world and your economy soars, ours will too.......plus my husband is a dual citizen and we live in Arizona for 5 months of the year and get to live alongside Americans we really like and care about.......my son who lives in Utah will become a citizen next year and we are concerned for his family too.......got it, eh?

Rombag isn't a commie, a faggot or a muzzie. So I'm voting for him solely to get the commie faggot muzzie and the gang that put him there who want to eliminate 10% of the population who won't be re-educated out of DC.

Gives us some time get some conservatives in. I think a lot of people don't see how incredibly wicked 0kaka and his gang are. God isn't running for president so there are only two choices of people who will be president. Voting 3rd party may make one feel like a goody goody but it helps 0kaka win.

O must go - I'm voting for Romney/Ryan. If these guys don't win the election this year - I'm very afraid that we are a lost cause. If Obama gets his second term we will see 4 more years of destruction - and that is how I see it. God Bless us all.

 

[Tucson Sal]

I will vote - because I love the USA and I will vote in best interest of my country - I had others that I wanted to be nominated but It is Romney/Obama ---- Mr. Romney/Mr. Ryan have my vote. I love my country and things need to be changed to that direction. I'm not going to throw away my vote (like I did last time) on someone who hasen't a chance because this election is so vital for our country.
