Republicans Are Playing Their Cards All Wrong

Lots of Republicans, like radio talk show host Mike Gallagher, are refraining from saying anything bad about any of the Repulbican candidates that are running for president. They want Obama out of office so bad, they want ANY Republican to beat him -- even Ron Paul.

I think that is a really stupid notion. I agree that I do not want Obama to be president again, but
what I actually want is for Obama to be neutralized. A Republican House AND Senate can do that.
If the Republicans take control of the Senate and retain control of the House, we will be OK. 
Obama will basically be a lame duck for the next four years. Of course, that would mean they
keep control for all of the next four years. So getting rid of Obama would be the best route.

However, I think the "anyone but Obama" thinking is the reason Romney has lasted as long as
he has. If people like Mike Gallagher were broadcasting the truth about Romney, he would 
probably be a distant third and might have dropped out all together.

But, instead, people like Ann Coulter are pretending Romney is a Conservative, which is
outright laughable and makes Ann look like a horses ass. Sorry, you could not be a 
conservative and want Romney to be the guy. I suspect anyone backing Romney of even 
being a true Republican. I would more likely believe anyone backing Romney is,
at heart, a Liberal Democrat who has fled the Socialist Democrat party. 

I think that is really what is going on today. The Tea Party is more representative of old Republican Conservative values and ideals.  If Romney is the Republican choice, he will lose and then 
it will be on next time -- the gloves will be off. A new Conservative party will have to arise to get us anywhere, if we have any freedoms left to work with. 

Ann Coulter is usually pretty conservative, but now she is backing Romney when she 
spent several months of the primary warning that Romney was a loser who would mean certain 
defeat for the Republicans. I agreed with her then, but not now. She has obviously given up and 
actually thinks no Republican can win. So she is betting on what she thinks is the only possibility, but
that is because she does not respect the American voters who are by a wide margin Conservative.

Bush was not a Conservative, McCain is far from a Conservative, and Romney is almost a 
Liberal. My hope, first and foremost, is that Obama loses for the sake of our country. Secondly,
I hope anyone other than Romney beats him. Conversely, if Romney is the Republican choice,
which I still doubt, Obama WILL win a second term, which is EXACTLY what Ann Coulter was
saying not that long ago. Unlike me. I have never thought Romney could win and I still think
he cannot win. He most likely will not win even among Republicans. I do not think any Democrats
will cross over to vote for Romney (they already have a Romney -- Obama). I do think
Republicans and Independents will again cross over to vote for Obama IF Romney is the
Republican candidate (they will vote for the evil they know). 

Romney could not beat McCain, which meant most felt he was Left of McCain. Why would they 
vote for him now? It just makes no sense. I know I will not vote for him (or Obama ... I will 
just stay home). And I cannot imagine why any staunch Conservative would vote for Romney. 
That makes no sense either. He gets tongue tied when he tries to articulate Conservative principles. 
I do give him credit for being a fairly honest man. He has trouble lying about his beliefs, which 
makes it hard for him to pretend to be a Conservative when he definitely is not. Just look at his 
record. He could run as a Democrat and no one would blink an eye.

Republicans who are on the "anyone but Obama" bandwagon to the point of not calling a loser
a loser (Romney) are simply letting the Republican semi-Liberal elites (like Carl Rove and
the Bushes) pick our candidate for us. They are taking the path of least resistance, trying to
put forth someone who will not anger Liberal assholes and the Liberal asswipe media.

I think true Conservatives, like Mike Gallagher, should find their balls and tell the Republican
elites that they will not vote for just anyone. If they keep pushing Romney, and he is the
Republican candidate, true Republicans should let it be known that they will stay at home,
not vote for a loser, and let the current loser continue to drive this country into the hellish
nightmare place he wants it to be.

If you actually are a staunch Conservative, you should stand up and tell the elites of both
parties that you are not going to stand for this bullshit any longer, that you will not vote
for another John McCain or Bob Dole or George H. W. Bush or Mitt Romney.  

Liberals got us into this mess and are destined to take us even further into this mess. We
do not need another Liberal like Romney to help them out. We need a Republican, a real
Conservative Republican like Gingrich or Santorum, to take us the other direction before it
is too late, while someone still can. If Obama can be re-elected, who knows, the Senate
AND the House may go back to Democrats as well. 

There is a tiny light at the end of the tunnel and it is not Mitt Romney. That I am pretty 
sure of. If Mitt Romney becomes the next president, it will be in spite of me, not because
of me. If Obama and Romney are my choices, I will stay home on election day as all
STAUNCH Conservatives should. Letting stupid Republicans tell you what to do is no
better than letting stupid Democrats tell you what to do. Obama / Romney, Obamacare / Romneycare.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Romney will win. I have no idea why you can't see this. Romney is your only chance. America fundamentally rejected your way of thinking probably before you were born. Civilized people simply can't live by the principles you want.

feather said 3 months ago ...

I'm curious to know who you'd want as a consevative candidate, that is if you could choose anyone even someone who is not currently running who would be your ideal presidentt?

sean_renaud said 3 months ago ...

While your question would be better phrased giving me a few options and asking me what conservative I would vote for I'll answer as you pose the question. I like Ron Paul. The majority of what he and I disagree on are so unlikely to pass Congress that I'd let him pass given no alternatives. I'd probably vote Obama over him granted but meh I could easily vote RP.

Actually I was asking alienated, sean. Sorry about the mix up.

You continue to run Romney into the ground and put forth not a single reason why you believe he is not a conservative and what is funny is it you people that are keeping this going and making the Republican party as a whole look bad. Why are people voting for Ron Paul? They know cannot win. We need to unite around one person otherwise we continue to look disorganized and stupid. How are we going to get anything done with opposing party if we cannot agree with our own party?

Sean-So agree now Romney can beat Obama. :)

Feather-Great question!

alienated said 3 months ago ...

I totally agree. Ron Paul and Rick Santorum should throw in the towel and announce their support for Newt. Romney is simply not going to beat Obama. He is too much like Obama. My first choice was Rick Perry. He has the experience and know how, he simply got off to a bad start and the Liberal media was never going to let anyone forget that he is the governor of Texas, which should sound familar to everyone. My next choice is Gingrich, but I figure I will be voting for Santorum once Paul and Gingrich fall victim to the Liberal media and throw their support to Santorum. Romney is a smuck who smiles at the camera and trashes his opponents, and his opponents end up hating him just as they did in the 2008 campaign. Romney should offer the vice presidency to Gingrich, to get his to quit and give his support to him (Romney), but that will never happen. I figure when Gingrich sees the writing on the wall, he will be offered the vice presidency by Santorum. What a team that would be. You see, first and foremost, it is anyone, A N Y O N E but Obama. And, second of all, it is anyone but Romeny. In 2008, that meant, unfortunately, McCain. As I keep saying, I do not want to see Obama elected for another four years, but I will not waste my time going to the polls to vote for Romeny, and neither will a lot of other people. Not a single reason why you believe he is not a conservative? Really? What about Romneycare? Romney makes the Republican party look bad. If he were not the choice of the Liberal media and Liberalish elitist Republicans, Romney would have already had to drop out. You people (Romney supporters) are making the Republican party look bad ... to conservatives. If you think Romeny is a conservative, you are probably in the wrong party anyway.

outlander said 3 months ago ...

How does practically a foundation of Conservative principles that comes out of the Heritage foundation assist and endorse Romneycare and you are yet to read about it or put it into context that Romney was a Republican in a rabid Liberal/Democrat state? We don't need a hardcore Republican Conservative (which Newt is far from but that's a different argument) we need a leader and Romney has the record to back it up.

Keep in mind pleeeease, THE ONLY SINGLE THING THE DEMOCRATS HAVE IN THEIR FAVOR IS OUR DISUNITY. We need to unite or we are going to die.
