Beliefs and Principals shouldn't trump electability.
« on: January 07, 2012, 01:38:45 PM »
This is one of the very reasons I'll distance myself from the Republican party after this general election.When winning is more important than principals,there's really no reason left to stay in this party.It's become worse than the other. From now on if and when I vote it will be as an Independent.


Romney Surrogate, State Senator Gary Lambert of New Hampshire say's Beliefs and Principals shouldn't trump electability.

I already have. I will vote for the man, but have no use for either party.

that's one of the great things about this country.  we can choose to vote for the liar of our choice.
point out one that hasn't lied and I will vote for him.

I have come to the following conclusion:
 
We have republicans and democrats running this country. Both parties hate freedom and liberty. One party will restrict freedom in Jesus's name. The other party will retsrict freedom in anyone else but Jesus's name. End result either way is I wind up a subject rather than a citizen.

The old folks used to know that there are things worse than losing an election ... like standing before your Creator. At the end, all I am is my beliefs and principles. That's what my family relies upon, that's what I taught my children ... I couldn't call myself a man if I did otherwise. I'll put my trust in God, and not the party, and do my best to honor Him with my vote.

Any man who claims my principles are not as important as "electability" has just lost my vote. His Principles are NOT even close to mine if he believes that!

That is court room proof that he has no principals. Don't need him or anyone that supports him. ear

I will vote for whoever the nominee is.  All of them would be so much better than Obama.  Namely, as many claim, out of conviction if Romney got in they would vote 3rd party.  Really?  What do your convictions tell you about all of the judges both federal and Supreme court that Obama will be putting in?  Kennedy has stated he will retire after this election.  There's the 5th vote to take away our 2nd amendment rights as well as any reference to God in our country.  But hey, it's your convictions that will not allow you to vote for a guy that might have a few different views than you but would appoint judges and people to the state department and other beauracracy's that will be there for decades to come to defend our freedoms like Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito.  Maybe you would prefer Ginsberg and the other terrible justices on the bench.  It's your choice but you and your children's children will live with rulings and the effects of the czars and all of the socialist policy's and positions put together by another term of Obama. 

I'm a Santorum and Gingrich supporter but if they do not make it I'll vote for Romney and campaign for him.  Anything to stop Obama's march to destroy our country.

I can see that Minnesota weather has not froze your brain.  this is exactly how I see things.
the third party folks have the chance to help obama totally destroy this country with his SCOTUS appointments.
