I agree, it is sad..........Hoosier Daddy wrote:The sad thing is all this could have been avoided by the Republicans nominating a fiscal conservative without a history supporting gun control and socialist medicine. It's enough to make someone wonder if there's a fifth column inside the Republican party making sure they don't nominate a conservative who is a clear alternative to Obama. I haven't decided who I will vote for in November, but it won't be Obama or Romney. It also won't be a Texas vote so the fifth columnists can save their breath.gdanaher wrote:I've read every word of this thread, and at this point y'all about have me convinced that I need to vote for Obama because it could actually be worse for 2A rights under Romney. It hardly matters anyway because Texas is a very red state, and Romney will get the electoral votes anyway, but I see a lot of ammunition here that Democrats could use to stink up Romney.
I will STILL vote Ron Paul in the primary. I will vote Mitt Robamaney in Nov. I will not vote 3rd party or "protest vote".
Will I be even a bit happy about it? No. Will I feel sick at my stomach? Yes. But, can I bear to stomach 4 more years of
Barack Hussein? No. If Reps control the house, and maybe gain some power in the senate, MAYBE they will be able to advise
Robamaney and guide him with a more conservative influence than they could ever influence Barack Hussein. I'm looking for
a glimmer of hope....... a slight chance that Robamaney won't make matters worse (if that's possible).
The Republican party is caught up in the "good old boy graduation system". Mitt didn't get it last time, so we'll reward him
this time. Instead of looking for new blood, Tea Party Conservative blood, not just lip service smaller government blood,
nothing will change. Nothing will change without term limits, nothing will change until politicians (both parties) decide to
do what's truly best for our country within the constraints of the constitution. Instead we have folks worrying about keeping
their jobs, giving themselves cost of living raises, excluding themselves from Social Security, excluding themselves from
sexual harrassment laws that apply to the peons, golden retirement and health packages etc etc etc. Professional Politicians.
Professional liars, snake oil salesmen and consumers of the public dole. Same old same old year in year out.
The last few weeks I have received numerous letters from the Republican Party asking for donations. Not going to happen.
Until there is a change in the guard.... my pocket book is closed. They don't seem to pay attention to Tea Party members.
They don't get that folks are fed up with the "norm". My lack of donations certainly won't break the bank.... but it is something
I can actually control. Voting for Mitt Robamaney is like taking a big dose of Cod Liver Oil..... hold your nose and swallow.
Come on, we're big boys, take your medicine, like it or not; because the sickness of another 4 years of Barack Hussein
might kill us all (financially anyway).
