Billy the kid sums it all up pretty well in the post above. It really doesn't matter to most Republicans,and 'conservatives'- anyone but Obama.

It doesn't matter santorum or mitt, either is 'better' in their view.

It also is a stretch to conclude the votes Newt received would have gone to Santorum.

While some people vote in elections like they are a beauty contest, more personal appeal than policy, the underlying policies do matter.

Most of middle class america fears change, longs for the past, is worried they are being left behind, and thinks any 'equality' will wreck the traditional power structure the same way Afghanis refuse to drop the local warlord, tribal leader for some Kabul politician.

But this election will hinge on where moderates think the future lies.

I did find Mitt's new attack ad 'warning' America Obama has a hidden agenda quite odd coming from a man who seems to be hiding quite a bit, or perhaps even worse has not given major issues much thought. Reminds me of the NRA fear mongering that had saw millions of weapons being sold at ticket scalper prices before the last election.

Colbert did a great piece on that, I have to laugh when the right wing sheeple panic at any rumor as it feeds their fears, baseless as they maybe.

Anyway, Romney will be supported by the people who voted for Santorum, maybe not with rabid enthusiasm, but it is up to moderates to decide this.

That sounds like it came straight out of the Libby play book. And after reading all of your post, I think you've hit every talking point, most of which don't relate to the thread, but I think you have done good. :mrgreen:

Yup, I'm gonna vote for the Repub candidate. I'm sure that fact just sends you screaming, but deal with it, okay?

Okay. So you're willing to trade Obama for Romney, even though Willard "Mitt" Romney is essentially the exact same politician as Obama, he's just white and a Republican?

Yet people call ME the lunatic for my political views.

Maybe from you perspective Obama=Romney; and that's your opinion.

But yes, I will vote for Romney if he is the Repub candidate. I've said before, but will repeat, I don't like the direction the country is going in and will cast my vote accordingly.

Billy-
'the libby playbook'????

really?

I didn't say your anyone but Obama, or 'Obama is destroying this country' (never mind the bulk of our debt came from Republican spending sprees...) was a page out of the radical right's playbook.

But it is what it is, most 'conservatives' will vote for anyone but Obama no matter the primary battle and what internal fracturing the Republican party is undergoing at the moment.

I do understand that not everyone is sold on Mitt Romney as the Repub candidate. As for me, I'll vote for any candidate the Repubs put up, since my goal is to get the current president out of the WH. I'll not sit on the sidelines clutching my vote to prove a point, and see the current occupant of the WH destroy the country. JMO.

Um...lets follow your logic.

If as you claim, that Obama is set to "destroy" the US, why has that not happened when the US (economically) was at it weakest point (in decades) just as he was sworn in 3 years ago?

It is one thing to fantasize with this irrational viewpoint, but when it does not relate to reality, what story do you tell yourself? That he wanted the US to regain stability and then pull the rug out?

Whether you are anyone else does accepts or likes my opinion doesn't matter to me. I will vote for the Repub candidate, Romney, Santorium, or who ever they choose. It is just that simple.

Yeah, I got that part.

It looks like you can't rationalize your belief at all, so one can conclude it is a matter of self delusion. I would like to think that you can explain to me or even yourself how you work out the most basic part of your reason for making this decision, but it seems to be too much to ask for.

Come on . . . . do we have to do this dance for the umpteenth time? I have said over and over, as has everyone else as to why they/I won't vote for President Obama. Now maybe you like redundency, but to me it's a waste of time. I won't vote for him. I will vote for whoever is nominated by the Repubs. If you haven't garnered enough info on why those against him feel that way, you haven't been listening.

LOL...you keep avoiding your explanation on why it is that when President Obama was in power and had a US in a state of great instability that he did not do what you claim he had planned to do. Again, is he waiting for a better time to "destroy" the US....even though the moment was at hand?

Again, what narrative are you operating under? If he is set to destroy this nation, what is he waiting for?

I mean, I hated Bush, but I never imagined that he EVER intended to "destroy" the nation.....ever.

Why all the talk about Santorum? It's not like he'll ever be president or anything.

Now, Romney just might be the next president, but it's way too early to make any predictions just yet. It would be like predicting whether or not it will rain on a particular date a month away.

Re: Romney FALLS down to MINORITY of LESS than 40% of People VOTES (against 61%) in G

Romney is the only candidate LIKELY to beat Obama.....
once the spoiler wannabes like Newt and Santorum are sent packing, the real battle will commence....
Romney can't just criticize what Obama has done, he has to offer up viabli alternative plans to move us forward economically.
I believe that he is probably the only one with the balls to actually cut govt spending. All other previous presidents who claimed they would, did not...
Certainly Newt and Rick have no record of success storys in the business world, or anywhere else. People whine that he gutted a few companies and ended jobs for those workers, but he has saved far more companies, and jobs. He knows how to cut with the scalpel, instead of the meat cleaver like congress wants to do. A flat percentage of ALL departments and programs is stupid, it takes no talent to propose such a thing. There are surely SOME programs that need more money....
But if the haters just want to vent, go ahead, but don't sit home holding your vote based on some constipated logic. The mission is to replace Obama.
Don't lose sight of that....
BTW, I have said that I would rather vote for Obama than SOME of the GOP wannabes.....IMO, Obama isn't near as dangerous as some of the lunatics in the GOP..

Are you still beating this dead horse?

Now let's both be truthful. The only reason you want me to say why IMO, President Obama is destroying the country, is for you to do "point" and me to do "counterpoint". Not like everyone on these boards, including me, has said why over and over and over.

But you see, like I said, plain and simple. I don't care what you're "point" is, I care about my vote against President Obama in November. Why you would think that I or anyone else needs to justify or explain the reason for voting against Obama?

I get it, not only are you the board spelling checker, you also see yourself as "Old Man Know-It-All". Here's some news, Old Man Know-It-All died last year, and they're not looking for a replacement.

There is a difference between baiting (Obama is going to destroy AMURICA!) and debating (Obama is going to destroy the US and here is how/why...).

You unfortunately fall into the first, you cannot support your irrational belief nor do you want to. All you want to do is to spout an irrational view, elicit a response but not justify it or defend it.
That is called "trolling".

This is absolutely hilarious that the entire liberal mindset is devoid of rational thought on political matters, that they have all basically just sold out to whatever Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert do as comedy bits.

This is Countdown with Keith Oberman (only in lieu of the moron himself, they've just aired an edited version of the Daily Show)
Jon Stewart Rips Glenn Beck - YouTube

This nasally voiced dork puts together these supposed gotcha expose in their own words documentaries... which just use clips from Daily Show and Colbert Report (and occasionally Bill Maher)
Stephen Colbert PWNs Glenn Beck? - YouTube

Even a leading liberal senator, Barbara Boxer, makes references to Jon Stewart comedy bits often...
Barbara Boxer Talks About Balancing The Budget, Jon Stewart; And The Debt Ceiling - YouTube
(including the following episode, in which she is trashed by jon stewart for doing one of his bits ON THE SENATE FLOOR)
Pill Bill - Volume 1 - Barbara Boxer's Daily Show Reenactment - The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - 03/01/12 - Video Clip | Comedy Central

In that and many other clips, Jon Stewart often even says, he does comedy and not real news...
The Daily Show: 03/05/12 Recap - YouTube

That he takes people's words, twists them out of context, and uses them for comedic purposes...

Yet, you all keep looking to him as a guage if something makes sense?

Steven Colbert does the same thing... His show a fake impersonation of The X Factor with Bill OReilly... Which he then in a later episode takes things he said and clips them together with Glen Beck, to make the same type of character assisination through satire...

Yet, Steven Colbert, who was "running" for the Republican Nomination... withdrew, as he knows the campaign was just a joke...

Even when he had his hearing before the house on immigration... he just told jokes for 5 mins, that mostly fell flat...
Colbert stays in character at congressional hearing - YouTube

Yet, so many liberals take every word these guys say as serious....

WAKE UP MORONS!!!

Re: Romney FALLS down to MINORITY of LESS than 40% of People VOTES (against 61%) in G

Sad but true is the fact Colbert and Stewart are willing to show the asinine words and actions on a lot more than just the 'conservatives' and their talking heads. Both do go after liberals to include the President with equal vigor.

But I guess you'd rather just call others moron like back on the playground rather than view the entire content of the post.

It WAS funny and cut to the bone. No one takes EVERY word seriously, but the points are valid.

Now you can return to the usual attacks and slurs.

It is unacceptable to let Obama destroy America with ObamaCare, but it would be okay if Romney destroyed America with RomneyCare.
