Why you must vote and what you can expect

[HeIsEnough]

I agree completely, and you're right...but it still freaks me out.

Freaked out about what exactly?

Obama freaks me out, makes me angry actually, if I let my mind think about it for very long. Thankfully, I don't.

Thinking about Mitt actually calms me quite a bit politically, and I don't need to go any further than that, he won't be my pastor or spiritual adviser, though I think he would be a leap better than Reverend Obama-Wright on that one as well. You know, the one who thinks its cool to abort a child cuz its a girl, or thinks its a great thing being the first Gay President. Its not even a contest.

[Mom2ten]

IMHO, Romney is going to have to lean far right in order to show the difference between him and Zero. Does anyone have a link that we can see exactly what was in Romneycare?

[ron4Jesus]

I will vote for Romney if it means Obama is GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I hate the choice we have but it is what it is. GOD help us come back to the way this country was founded and PRAY everyday till the election to Our Almighty GOD that he brings this country back. If the rapture happens then so be it, it's GOD'S will.

Priorities matter.

I would have a real problem voting for Mitt Romney....

*IF he displayed the same cold attitude toward Israel & affection for the Muslim Bro'hood that Hussein clearly shows

*IF he seemed determined to DELIBERATELY undermine the Constitution in order to weaken America as we know it

*IF he showed an eagerness to exacerbate class & racial warfare into full blown riots

*IF he began dismissing unborn babies as "mistakes and punishment" therefore justifying their murders in late term

*IF we learned his lifelong associations have been anti-America radicals who "did lots of blow" with him

I'm not going to insist on 100% perfection in our candidate. There will always be something in his platform I will not like. But I look at Hussein and then I look at Gov. Romney and realize there's a lot to be thankful for in our choices this Nov.

TPTB are congratulating themselves on that note. He is nothing more than a painkiller. He is a carrot for the conservative right. Nothing will change. Please bookmark this thread and drown me in PM's if he repeals OCare so I can eat my words. Wake up RR. You've been had.

I am voting for Romney just to try and get O out.

That one is enough.

Slam dunk, IMO.

The Romney at Bilderberg thing was a false rumor. It does concern me that Romney had Henry Kissinger speak at one of his campaign stops. It also concerns me that he states on his official campaign website that he would appoint SCOTUS justices in the mold of Justice Roberts, especially after what happened last week.

Yes, they are all just salivating over our votes that don't count. Things definitely changed when Obama came into office, and that McCain guy didn't look any better than Romney.

I don't operate like that, I hope no one else operates like that. I've already said I think there is little chance it will be repealed, its difficult to get rid of things, rather than prevent them. I'll be quite happy to be wrong about that, no PM's necessary. You wouldn't know that cuz you're post only, and don't seem to read what others write.

Wake up RR. You've been had.

Wake up Emmie, many here are voting for Romney because he is not Obama. That seems really difficult for some to understand.

"Had" about what? That we didn't support Ron Paul? They are the only conservatives (so called) I know who would say such a thing. Tell me it isn't so.

What you say is laughable. Why don't you accuse us all of being Mormon while your at it.

I will vote for Romney if it means Obama is GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I hate the choice we have but it is what it is.

[CakeDecorator]

I truly hope that when the time comes, people realize and remember the things that Obama said he would do and didn't do and the things he said were not, and then said they were.

I think its unbelievable that people who voted for him, still believe in him after he did and said things and then turned around and did the opposite. Also this defiance of his to do whatever he wants regardless of the Constitution and what is decided by Congress and else, its very disturbing.

[In Christ]

Even though Romney and the mormons do not characterize Christ in his pure "I am the way the truth and the life" form, they do recognize him and do not just pass him off, that is NOT great or right, and will not get them to heaven, but its better then what we have today.

After all of O's _____ (fill in blank), Romney has my vote! O' has got to go...

[EarsToHear]

It seems some could benefit by relaxing a bit.

When a conspiratorial fear begins in your mind, a discerning red flag should go up, raised by the Holy Spirit.

Put the hypotheticals behind you, determine to vote against the worst U.S. president in history, keep praying according to the will of God and leave the path of future history up to the Lord. It's His plan and He will work it out. All your worrying won't grow one hair on your head--but your voting effort will count as one.

I wouldn't be so quick to excoriate Justice Roberts -

Well it's become obvious the Liberals are all charged up now and it's all the more reason why Conservatives and Independents need to get to the polls in very large numbers and by all accounts thus far that's exactly what's shaping up -

And there still may be a silver lining in this cloud as these authors suggest -

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/art...it_114646.html

Thursday’s health care ruling shocked most observers. It upheld the health care law as constitutional. But rather than find that the law was justified under Congress’ authority to regulate commerce, it instead found it was justified only under Congress’ power to tax. It also imposed limits upon Congress’ ability to condition spending grants to the states upon those states taking certain steps.

More at the link above....

And this -

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/...n-or-odd-duck/

In a tortured opinion that infuriated the eight other justices, Roberts’ ruling sent off a false signal that led many reporters initially to misread it as overturning the individual mandate. He eventually reached the opposite conclusion, on grounds that almost nobody saw coming, a shocker that could scramble the political fallout. President Obama is a big winner — sort of. He gets to keep most of his signature legislative achievement.
But, thanks to Roberts’ finding that the penalty attached to the individual mandate is really a tax, Obama is saddled with having imposed a huge hike on middle-class Americans, something he promised he would never do, and something he expressly said the law doesn’t do.

Republicans and other opponents are the big losers — the law survives their objections. But the defeat and the tax issue have many more fired up today than they were before, and Mitt Romney grabbed the moment by saying that on his first day as president, “I will act to repeal ObamaCare.”

The frustrating part of Roberts’ decision is that it fails to provide the one thing everybody in the country wanted: simple clarity. He didn’t split the baby in half, but he did give each side enough ammunition to continue fighting. That actually seems to be part of his goal.
Arguing he’s no judicial activist, by his own definition, Roberts stressed that he wasn’t passing judgment on the law’s wisdom so much as finding a way to authorize legislation crafted by elected officials. “It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices,” he wrote.

Wake up Emmie .... the country we love was had when a Marxist took office.

The potential failure of a president to all correct wrongs in America isn't what bothers me. It's the planned destruction of a nation by an evil man that I'm fighting against.

If you or someone else has proof that Gov. Romney is a stealth traitor who thinks like Obama I'd be anxious to see it.

[HikerLady]

With all due respect, I am amazed at people who say 'there is no difference between Romney and Obama'
Whoever believes that hasn't been paying attention. NOT to say Romney is perfect, and as someone else said, we're not electing a pastor.

What the heck?Their are actually people who believe that?Romney would not be my perfect choice but I think he would be better than the O.We might all have to have trampolines in our back yards but what the heck.

Yep, I've heard several people say it. It's usually people who don't want to go vote anyway

[Mooky]

I MAY sit this one out. I've taken alot of heat within my circle of friends for saying that. I can't vote for either. The lunatic left has owned this state for as long as I have lived here. The only Republicans they elect are the ones that are more liberal than the Democrat they are running against. I know my vote won't count, it hasn't in the past 35 years.

I was told it is my christian duty to vote. I thought my duty was to pray for politicians not vote for them. I've become very apolitical in my old age. I'm tired of the political nonsense, lying and junior high school level antics.

Neither politician can right this ship of state. It's sinking. GW drilled holes into the hull and BO thought he could keep it from sinking by drilling bigger holes to let the water out. I haven't heard Romney's plan yet.

It's interesting that both of these men's religions were started by the same spirit. It worked so well in 600AD that he decided to do it again about 1200 years later.

OK, I've vented. Will you all take me to the woodshed too?

[waiting1]

I'm certainly not a Romney fan, but I can tell you that our last election for Senator here in Minnesota (2010) there was a situation where the third-party candidate (Dean Barkley) was very good. I knew, however, that a vote for him would be a vote for Al Franken(stein)! Sure enough.... Norm Coleman (the Republican incumbent) lost a race that was "too close to call." (Barkley, by the way, received some 60,000 votes.) Yes... after I can't remember HOW many months, the ballots were counted, recounted, and recounted the recounteds (some were found in the trunk of a car???!!!)---Al became the new Senator AND, I might add, the 60th vote the Dems needed for, I believe?, Obamacare!!!! I just know there was voter fraud involved. So, in a nutshell, as much as I really don't care for Romney, I'll be voting for him because 4 more years of bama will, IMHO, be the end of our Republic. As it is now, it will probably take at least 50 years to undo what has been done under O.

Paint the same picture if people vote for a 3rd party president, it will be a vote for Obama. We need to vote for Romney, anything else will endorse Obama and give him the win and we are obligated by God to not allow someone who endorses abominations such as same sex marriage, promoting gay lifestyle and especially aborting babies! 40 is the number God has used in the Bible to allow for time to repent, and our 40 years comes in 2013 since Roe vs. Wade happened in 1973. No telling what will go down next year but it certainly seems to me we are due for something given our flagrant unrepentence in this country for our sins. Instead of repenting, we see our worst sins (not us Christians) as something to be proud of, or as some kind of achievement worth noting. God's Holiness demands judgment on our country for our abominations, and given the extent of our sins, Judgment to this country will not happen until we the Church are safely removed from harms way. Soon, very soon we will all be in Heaven. I feel for some of the people left behind that I know, but I have made it plenty clear to them God's Wrath is soon to fall on this corrupt world. The only way they will believe now for some of them is for the Rapture to happen, and when it does they will regret they didn't listen to me or any one of you out there who have done the same. The ride will be rough then and I am sure death will be welcome to many rather than live thru it.

Take you to the woodshed?I was going the same way you are.Not voting for either. I truly do not want either of them but I think less damage will be done by Romney.But then I have to rethink my actions.No vote at all is a vote for Obama.I really do feel that Obama will be re-elected.I think this evil world needs him.
