Me too! But we've also got to make sure that all our like-minded friends and family vote, too! Pile them all into a vehicle and drive them yourself if you have to. Have lunch afterwards, make an outing of it, whatever it takes. Way too many conservatives sat out the last election and look what happened. This time we've ALL got to walk the walk!

YES! We MUST remove Obama from office.  Even if it means voting in a man who has the exact same principles as Barry.  We must remove the current socialist from office so we can vote in another socialist candidate. 
 
 
I'm voting 3rd party in this election by writing in Jesus Christ for president.  Sadly even if this were an option most of you would still vote Republican because "It's a two party system."

No, we must get rid of the communist--even if the best we can do is put a less than conservative Republican in office, but at least one who understands economics and business.

I say (COMMON SENSE) tells me there is only one party with two divisions representing it to give the sheeple a sense of having some control over the outcome.It was pretty obvious from day one of the primary. Romney, Newt  and Rick were picked to run against the dreaded Democrat.The others like Paul, were there to give an impression of choice!


The voters in this country have voted party politics(Lesser evil) for as long as I can remember, and they continue to do it while the country continues to deteriorate.( I use to be one of the Lesser of voters.)Romney may not be as bad as Ombama! He may even be worse."Remember" We voted Bush in, and for that we were given the Department of Homeland Security, the beginning of the bailouts and endless wars. I'm sure They have more planned to give us with Romney or Obama.


The people have once again proven they deserve these shill's by failing to see the only real change candidate in the pack.The rest of us will just have to suffer along with them because of it. "And that ain't NO BULL!

    Although IRomney is not my favorite, he's no Obammy !  Do you REALLY think...
    Romney is against business ?
    Has Romney condemned drilling in ANWR..or building new refineries ?
    Does he want more regulations crippling business ? 
    Has he called us... "bitter clingers" ?
    Has he sat for 20 years under a pastor who says "G - - D - - - America" ? 
    I haven't seen him threatening oil companies !
    He has not been asking for more crippling restrictions on manufacturing.
    I haven't seen him supporting ACORN or the 'hate America' OWS crowd.
    He's not in favor of the indescriminate killing of pre-born boys & girls. 
    Has Romney been ridiculing the idea of drilling in the gulf ?
    Has he laughed at the idea of the Keystone pipeline ?
    Has he called upon restriction of the 1st and 2nd amendments ? 
    Do you think he will 'bow and scrape' to islamic exalted poobahs?
    Did he approve of "Fast and Furious" ?
 
  Although originally not terribly hostile to it, does Romney now sound anything like Obammy in the following statement?
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""'
   My view is that we don’t know what’s causing climate change on this planet,” Romney said in the speech, a clip of which was posted by the liberal blog Think Progress. “And the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course for us.”
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
      See..even politicians can learn...at least some of them..
 
  Frankly; I think saving "trillions and trillions" of dollars would be good for our economy !
 
   Sorry, Sam..but you sound a tiny bit like a 'single issue' voter.. ;)
 
   Let's dump those 33 CZARS !      A B O         ...anybody...but Obama..

  Unfortunately, the stubborn Republican "elites" had a good opportunity to unseat the prince in 2008..but they didn't back the candidate running against him.  THey joined the liberal media in trying to ridicule her.  If they want to appear credible in any way, they would have to show where Sharon Angle would have been worse for conservatives than is Harry Reid...

Ironglow and Guzzijohn I agree with you.  While the Democrates are pretty much united, the Republicans are all divided on their own little petty agendas.  They are stuck on one or two issues, and will not budge off them.  They just don't realize, not every one agrees with their ideas as best for the country.  What if I said only people that have served in the military, and earned the right, be allowed to vote.  Would everyone go along with that.  At one time I honestly felt that way.  But now I see that is not what is best for the country in other people's view.  I made a mistake, but still feel it is a good idea for everyone to serve in some sort of capacity.  Now back to the real agenda.

I've heard Romney say:  I made a mistake, and I have learned from that.                                                                OK tell me none of you have never said that.
                                        We have enough gun laws on the books, we just need to enforce the ones we have.     I've said that many times as has many of you.
                                        We have lots of oil here in America, we just need to go after it.                                        I know that to be a fact, so does the Donald. 
                                       
Romney, sounds good to me. 

Anyone that courts the Democratic vote just to stay in the running on the Republican ticket is not a true Republican in my book.  For those that don't know, Santorum did just that.

I like Newt, it's a pretty close toss up in my book between him and Romney.  But Newt's past and attitude is just enough to put Romney ahead with me.

Paul, I like some of his ideas.  He is spot on in a lot of the issues.  Then off he goes in lala land.  It's like he is not given serious thought to the results of those actions. 
Where is old Joe when we really need him?  Alaska Independence    Calling Illegal Immigrants "Undocumented Aliens" is like calling Drug Dealers "Unlicensed Pharmacists"
What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

I don't know if you guys know this or not, but Bush was against the bailouts, and wanted the banks and auto industry to go through the NORMAL channels of bankrupcy.  He was advised by Bernanki that if we didn't bailout the banks, our economy would go completely under.  Bush was intervied about a year after he left office.  Yes, he gave us homeland security, but if that is the only thing he did wrong, it is a far cry from what Obama is doing.  The Bush advisors even warned of the housing bubble back in 2006, but nobody listened.  Noone wants to hear doom and gloom.  But, hyper-inflation is comming if Obama stays in office, sooner than later.  Romney might could right the ship a little and give us more time.  Romney knows something as well as Ron Paul, Romney has about $500,000 in gold assets, and Paul has about $300,000.  Both advocate a return to the gold standard.  Just because Romney had Romneycare in Mass, doesn't mean he will continue it nationwide.  He wants the insurance companies to be able to operate nationwide, not just in individual states.  This would lower costs, first by competition, then by scale.  The bigger the scale, the lower the cost for everyone.  Kind of like a wholesaler vs a retailer or Walmart vs a mom & pop store.  I voted for Paul in the primary, but will vote for ABO in the fall.  Even Clinton had 50% of his advisors out of business and industry.  Obama only has 3% and one of those is the GE chairman (GE is big into windmills).  His advisors are phd's from liberal schools and trial lawyers.

  Oh sure..the best thing we can do on election day is stay home, pout and let Obammy waltz back into the oval office..yeah; that's a brilliant move !  Then Obammy can appoint the next 2-3 judges to SCOTUS !   AS stroke of brilliance !!

I perceive Romney is trying to look conservative.
That reminds me of McCain when he ran. Now he has resumed his normal political paint as a full blown RINO.
Can you expect the same with Romney?  IMO  YES.
 
From the three that are left I like Newt with some reservation best. As it is, he won't get the nomination by the looks of it.

Well, I for one like the idea of a moon colony.  It will cost only about the same as the space station.  There is platinum on the surface of the moon for one.  Oxygen from moon soil can be extracted and launched into space for a Mars mission cheaper that from Earth.  Also, for every $1 spent on the space program, it yeilded $100 worth of new products and technology.  So basically it is the only government program that actually develops new things.  Yet, we only spend 1/2 of 1% of the total Federal budget on the space program.  That is a drop in the bucket.  The Welfare program spends about  200-300% more than the space program.  So will Obamacare.  Technology and equipment, research and development always pays for itself.  Your computer was kick started by Nasa helping develop small lightweight computers for spacecraft 50 years ago.  Same with medical technology.  Hospital monitoring equipment was developed to monitor the astronauts.  In the '60s if you went to the hospital, you weren't connected to anything.  A doctor or nurse had to come around and check your vitals,etc.  Now equipment developed for the space program does that and can remotely notify someone if things are not right. 
Technology, the military, and helping build roads and bridges, are about the only thing the government can get right.  Social welfare and education, they can't change people, only make them dependent, so they need to get out of that business.

Well, I for one like the idea of a moon colony.  It will cost only about the same as the space station.  There is platinum on the surface of the moon for one.  Oxygen from moon soil can be extracted and launched into space for a Mars mission cheaper that from Earth.  Also, for every $1 spent on the space program, it yeilded $100 worth of new products and technology.  So basically it is the only government program that actually develops new things.  Yet, we only spend 1/2 of 1% of the total Federal budget on the space program.  That is a drop in the bucket.  The Welfare program spends about  200-300% more than the space program.  So will Obamacare.  Technology and equipment, research and development always pays for itself.  Your computer was kick started by Nasa helping develop small lightweight computers for spacecraft 50 years ago.  Same with medical technology.  Hospital monitoring equipment was developed to monitor the astronauts.  In the '60s if you went to the hospital, you weren't connected to anything.  A doctor or nurse had to come around and check your vitals,etc.  Now equipment developed for the space program does that and can remotely notify someone if things are not right. 
Technology, the military, and helping build roads and bridges, are about the only thing the government can get right.  Social welfare and education, they can't change people, only make them dependent, so they need to get out of that business.
It  looks  like   we   want   have   to   worry   over  the   issue.  Romney   said   he   would   fire   anyone   in  his  administration   to    suggest   a   moon   colony.  Im  not   against  a   privetly    funded     space   program.
