Romney to Quit the Race

[TheSarge]

Well hell...as if this election cycle weren't bad enough. 

[Tess Anderson]

There are three things that are making me keep an open mind on the "Voting for the death of my own liberties" issue with McCrazy:

1.  The SCOTUS Justice issue.  Yes, a couple of the most lib Justices are virtually on life support waiting for a Dem to become Prez, and have been for four years....even if Crazy John virtually is a Dem, there is still a thin line there and I'd love to see the wailing and robe-tearing when the particular Supreme Weasels realize they're truly screwed.

2.  The Veep choice, since that will tell whether he actually gives a rat's ass about the Conservatives at all.

3.  What commitments is he going to make to us...not really the platform, but what promises is John going to make to us and be held accountable for (i.e. the infamous 'No new taxes' pledge, however in his case I'd settle for 'I'll leave gun control where it is').

I do not buy that Hitlery will destroy the US in four years, she is too cagey for that, she will just inflict major (but not irretrievable) damage, aside from GWOT and SCOTUS I doubt there will be much noticeable difference between her and McCain as Prez.  Obama is a whole 'nuther story, he is a total rube if a very charismatic one, and therefore likely to be another Jimmuh.

He's worse  than Jimmuh, he's an empty suit socialist surrounded by terrorist sympathizers. It doesn't get much worse than that.

1. Juan would still have to cram a normal person through a Reid Senate.
2. There are rumors he'll pick Pansy Graham (RINO-SC) as veep.
3. He'll adopt whatever political stance makes him look the most "maverick".

Let Hillary have it. Then, after she's ****ed up the country, SOMEONE may step up that's a real conservative. Electing McCain will only do one thing, continue moving the Republican party towards the Democrat party.

Won't be voting for McStain but I will be voting for the State and local level Conservatives that will do everything that can to keep his liberal deals from going through.

[Airwolf]

BTW, you guys can support or vote the way you feel. I won't denigrate you, call you neo-cons, call you assholes or anything else. Your vote and your position is yours and yours alone. My posts here have been mine.

Which is the way it should be. This is why I like the majority of people here that were here from the start. We all have a choice , Its up to everyone what that choice is and all we can do is hope for the best. As someone else mentioned earlier. We don't have to like or vote for McCain but we can still vote for others that have the real pull as conservatives and the only thing that McCain can do with a Conservative majority is either veto or sign bills. Congress can pretty much do what it does or override the President's veto's. If McCain wants to look like an ass for 4 years that will be up to him.

[Atomic Lib Smasher]

Well, we're all ****ed with a capital F. Even if McLame wins (which I doubt), we'll see illegals flood the gates, taxes  may or may not be raised sky high... but they will not be cut anymore, we will not see another judge in the SCOTUS that adheres to the Constitution, and the terrorists will be treated like they're staying at Club Med. And that's just under a McLame presidency.

Well, time to stock up on ammo and canned foods and living in the mountains.

I have a son in the Marine Corps. I can't in good conscience do anything that would put his life in the hands of Hillary or Obama. The thought of either one being my son's CinC scares me more than anything. Everyone needs to do what they think is best but I hope no one forgets some have a lot more at stake this election.

Cindie, that's the ONLY reason I'll wind up voting for the McLiberal.

Kevin, I agree with all of that.. but what i have heard for the past week is people consistently saying they arent voting at all. Talk radio is absolutely lit up with people being so pissed off about this. So, I'm concerned with people here and out there not voting and losing our other GOP seats as well.

The Dems got far more people to the polls this past week and half and we cant keep our seats that way..

awesome point Cindie ..

IMO, the GOP needs to get on board and get back in touch with its conservative base, as they have completely lost touch.

Losing the Congress last year wasn't enough for them, apparently. Now they throw up a liberal republican (which I NEVER even thought there could be such a thing) to run for the presidency. They won't get my endorsement on that.

Someone on another thread very accurately stated that the party is devoid of leadership. That's right. Until they get their act together and get back on board with what their constituents want, I cannot and will not support them.  I will hold them to a standard. I don't believe in voting for mediocrocy just to keep the other person out of office, because I believe to let the other person in as that may be what it takes to get this party back to where it needs to be...light a fire under their asses.

**** McCain. I'm staying home.

I hear ya. Both Hitlery and McLame want oversized, overpowering government.

and again, i agree with your sentiments.. but i live in a blue area (seattle) where I'm already taxed almost to the ends of my abilities - and we make good money. we are already not able to send our 8 year old to private school next year and that has me worried sick cause the public schools here are CRAP. we are preparing for a tax onslaught that will eat up a good chunk of our reserves this next year. and if a Liberal gets the White House and both Houses? I'm not sure most families around here can survive that.

its all selfish on my part - but I cant vote against my own family.
