Why you must vote and what you can expect

[Acts5:41]

I'm not.

I am morally opposed to voting for a Mormon.

I will vote for a 3rd party candidate, because the Republican party FAILED to provide a viable candidate.

If they wanted my vote, they had to earn it with a Born-again Christian conservative. They failed. I didn't care what color he was. I was willing to overlook a lot. But I will not vote for someone who truly believes the devil and Jesus are BROTHERS.

Anyone else read "Kingdom of the Cults"? Please, read it before voting for Romney. At least have the courage to see just what you are endorsing.

God is in control. I'll accept His will, come election day. I am sure I will get one of two awful choices; but at least I will be able to sleep at night, knowing I at least voted for someone I could stand to see in the White House.

The Republicans failed. Not the voters.

I will also pray for rain on election day, Democrats hate to vote in the rain.

Edit: I mean REALLY? Out of how many millions of qualified people, they had to go Mormon? Really? HAD to?

[iSong6:3]

Acts, as was brought up before, people had the exact same fears about electing the first Catholic to the presidency, JFK. The conspiracy theorists were screaming that the US would be a Vatican satellite doing the Pope's bidding. They were just as serious and sure as the *I ain't voting for no Mormon* people are today.

Did Romney make Massachusetts into Utah? He is too liberal for that.

As the previous poster mentioned the Catholic JFK stared down Castro and saved us from great harm. He is beloved today by non-Catholics as well as Catholics.

Don't get all confused by side issues.

It's between Obama and Romney - pick one of the two against the other.

Let's remember the worst thing obama foisted on us was obamacare and it may be struck down by the SCOTUS. A SCOTUS that has two of his appointments, thanks to many Christians either voting for obama or not voting at all. I wonder how many people even look at it like that? The best hope we have to unwind this man's evil is in that body. Do we want him or Romney to appoint the next Justice(s)? Would McCain, for all his faults, have nominated either of the two Justices that obama did? Adding to that thought do I think for a moment Romney would have nominated either of the two women obama did, or ones with like judicial philosophy? No.

...

Though he was not my first choice, this election is as easy to decide as the last one. obama was a disaster then and is demonstrably more so now. McCain was a weak candidate but I have no doubt we would be in less debt and better shape had he won in 2008.

I voted McCain then for this reason alone and I'll vote Romney in the coming time for the very same one. He wasn't my first pick but the election is (and was) so very clear cut given the choice between the two, it's a no-brainer.

You either want more Obama or you want to give Romney a chance. Soilent green or a McRib sandwich. Neither one is made of what you might think, but the later isn't made of people at any rate. You don't want to eat too many of either, but much less the first if at all.

Somebody else simply is not an option. You throw away your vote with a third pick or concede to Obama by silence. In either instance, you might as well stay home.

[Acts5:41]

I'm voting "Neither".

As I said, I will be voting independent.

The Republicans failed the voters, plain and simple. Because they failed, they lost my vote.

I was willing to overlook a LOT. IMO, my vote is my endorsement, saying "I support you and trust you to lead the country". I cannot do that with either party.

Really, with say, 75 million eligible citizens, they came up with that?

If the Republicans want to guilt me into saying "That's a vote for Obama", then they need to look at themselves and their inability/unwiililngness to find a candidate I would back. I had a lot of latitude.

I would have even voted for a "sex pervert" as my husband calls them. My husband also feels the country is going to hell, regardless of who's elected. I agree with him to a large extent.

I wonder if you venture out to the left side's forums......do they say "if you don't vote for Odumbo, it will be a sure victory for Romney"?
If that is the case, then am I voting for both by voting for neither?

Depends on the 3rd party candidate; a "GREENIE" will siphon votes from the left, a "NRA" will siphon votes from the right!

[Steve53]

Think about the fact that you'll be helping the incumbent by voting for someone with no chance of winning.

Those verses aren't a directive to sit on the sidelines. Vote.

So a sex pervert is passable, but a mormon with conservative ideological values isn't? I'm sorry dear one, I just don't see the logic there. None the less, it's your vote and your voice to do with as you please. You still yet have that right.

I didn't make Romney the nominee. I didn't pick the hopefuls. It is is what it is.

If my realistic choice is between Obama or Romney, I will gladly side with Romney as I sided with McCain. I do not regret doing that at all! Seeing what Obama has done to my country and what he still has planned for it yet, I can with even greater confidence vote against him again!

I can sleep easy at night knowing I am for the country of my parents and my forefathers, and not against it. I won't stay home and I won't be silent.

If it falls due to this corrupt generation, my record will testify that I went with her fighting against the tide with the vote men and women much greater then me who have suffered much and even died to give to me. And to you. And to all americans.

[icebear]

i will vote. if the lesser of two evils = Romney, so be it.

[BarbT]

If they wanted my vote, they had to earn it with a Born-again Christian conservative.

The GOP is not the church. The citizens of this nation vote for secular leaders, not theological heros commissioned to lead us to the promised land. People really need to learn the difference.

[raml]

In the past there have been very few born again Christians who ran for president. I guess Heather wouldn't have voted for them. Reagan wasn't a born again Christian he did say he was a Christian but never that he was a born again one and the older Bush although Christian wasn't a born again Christian his son did say he was. I have never in all my years and I'm 67 voted on a person because of the religion he belonged to although I would never vote for a follower of Islam due to most have no moral compass due to following the Koran. I have voted for leaders on their character and morals and when I want a spiritual leader instead of a government official I go to my church. I love my country and if it goes down I want no part in helping it collapse.

[ThePenguin]

With tears on the ballot, Romney 2012.

[Mom2ten]

My sister is a die hard liberal and posted an article on my facebook page about voting for Obama. I had to literally force myself to click out of it before posting a comment
For those who refuse to vote for Romney due to his religion...when another person is on the ballot for let's say a judge, or even dog catcher, do you look at their religion too before deciding whether you will vote for him/her?

We are not voting for Pope; we need a new CEO over this country
Your logic opens the door for an unrestrained Obama and his new communism.
At least vote GOP for our children if not for yourself.

[EarsToHear]

I'm voting "Neither".

As I said, I will be voting independent.

Taking the action to write in a candidate who cannot win will only give the great enemy of this nation more power. In a personal way, your independent vote will cancel out iSong's Republican vote. Another person's write-in vote for Ron Paul will cancel out my Republican vote. If enough people follow their ideological strategies, Obama the Weed will stay rooted in the White House to take over the rest of whatever liberty he hasn't already choked to death.

[Hootmon]

we need a new CEO over this country

That needs to be repeated.

The President, as the head of the Executive branch, is quite literally the CEO of the US. Saying you wouldnt vote for someone because of his religion is like saying you wouldnt do business with a company or shop at a store because of their CEO's personal beliefs when what really matters is how they do business.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have/had their own sets of 'issues', but their companies made products that people wanted to buy. Neither one was/is an 'acceptable Christian', so you had better stop using their products immediately.

Whos computer product would you expect to work better: Obama's, Romney's or Paul's?

So simple even a caveman can understand it.

No I didn't liken anyone to a caveman, so take a deep breath.

If I could vote I'd vote for ABO. The presidency isn't a "whose the most Christian" competition. It at tis point is do you want an evil treasonous liar running the country or a not-that-great-guy-who-is-better-than-Obama race. The choice is obviously clear.

As much as Carter was messed up, I believe he loves the Lord and wanted best for this country but was idiot when it came into implementing it. But when a foreigner swoops in, says we cling to guns and religion, issues executive orders prepping for martial law without writ of Habus corpus, apologizes for the country, and ignores and violates the constitution, it is obvious. I bet any twelve of the founding fathers would convict this man of treason.
