The last dance
Now that Romney is the presumptive nominee, and will be the guy who runs for the Oval Office this fall, the burden is off most everyone. The libertarians can all vote for their dangerous little creep without any fear he will actually be elected, so his isolationist antisemitic nutbaggery won’t ever get anywhere nearer the white house than it already is. All the idiots that don’t vote can say “This isn’t MY fault!” (as if the rest of us were just as ignorant as they) and everyone who loathes Mitt Romney as much as I do will just have to remember this one thing:
You have to go to war with the mittens you have.

Duzn’t mean ya has ta like it. But even a frozen turd can be a political weapon if used properly…
Indeed. And many of the same things that are being said by and about Romney were once said by and about Reagan.
No, I don’t have any hopes in that direction, of course, but it is the case.
Just for the sake of humor, Tell me again the differences between Mittens and President Unicorn?
I know one is an “R” and the other is a “D”. One is incompetent and the other may be more productive, but in what DIRECTION?
I seriously don’t see any choice in this matter or any substantial difference.
That you do, puzzles me?…

Obviously there are plenty of differences. Are the differences dramatic? No. Do I know what Mittens will do if he gets into office? Nobody does; anyone who claims they do is either God or a liar. You can make guesses, but they are just guesses, unless you have a time machine and can look at the end of his presidency and see it. Will it be better or worse than what we have? I don’t know. But if you have special insight that says “Absolutely he will be worse” then I’d sure like to know, because I cannot see how anything could be worse than a lame duck socialist with free reign to do whatever the fuck he wants to our civil liberties. In other words, I’ll take a Yaller Dog over Obama, because I don’t know about the dog, but I DO know what Obama has to offer. And not one person has told me how not voting will fix anything. And in the meantime I will continue to do all the other things I do to try to help steer this ship of state back in any kind of a normal direction,as most of the people I know do every day, just by living normal lives as decent people.
I see only one dofference between Mittens and His Holiness. With one we will have a straight economic collapse. With the other we would have the economic collapse with a totalitarian spin.
Collapse I can deal with. Spreading my supplies among the masses so we all starve is not something I want to see.
Still not voting for Romney. I’m tired of the GOP offering me dogshit on a plate.
Like I said at B’s place, that is the beauty of the vote; not having to use it if you choose not to.
“The libertarians can all vote for their dangerous little creep without any fear he will actually be elected, so his isolationist antisemitic nutbaggery won’t ever get anywhere nearer the white house than it already is.”
Come on, you sound like an idiot when you say things that are factually incorrect. Paul is the least dangerous of all the candidates, he is not in any universe a creep, his policies are not in any way isolationist, he is not in anyway anti-semitic, and he is not in any way a nut bag.
He is literally the exact opposite of all of that, so if you really believe that, then you have no idea what you are talking about, and make yourself out a fool.
We’re getting Obama, whether his name is Obama or Romney. The best the Paul movement can hope for is furthering the truth of his ideas, which he’s done quite well with- 20% or more votes this election compared to 5%, winning the military vote, winning the young vote, and actually winning a few states.
A bonus would be preventing Romney from getting it- not only to prevent a worse presidency, but also to punish people who think its all about getting elected and voting for crap like Romney.
“He is literally the exact opposite of all of that, so if you really believe that,”
I believe nothing. I know what the facts are. Paul is a creep- ever hear him speak? if you don’t hear ‘Creep” your creep radar is fucked. he has a pattern of antisemitic behavior, and he is obviously isolationist. if you don’t see any of that, you only have to open your eyes. But then most paulites willinly have their eyes glued shut so as not to learn any of the actual- you know- facts. Eric Hoffer has an excellent essay on the subject. While I’m not happy with Obama’s dream for America, and while Romney’s dream for America may look exactly the same (Which remains to be proven, of course) I despise Paul’s vision of America, because it assumes people capable of self government. This is an utter delusion.
Ed Hering – goddamnit, get over yourself and answer this question honestly : Who would you rather have appointing the next two or three Supremes ? Look at the far left bulldykes the Won chose and tell me he’ll do better next time.
Dogs: Ed is with the program, but hes disgusted, just like I am. I think in the final moment, Ed will do what he feels is right, just like we all do. In the end, it’s really none of our business,I suppose, I just keep hoping someone will tell me how not voting will fix anything, but all I hear is crickets.
Og: I’m looking at past performance, not at the words being said and the fact is Mittens HAS OUTLAWED ‘Modern Sporting Rifles’ in his past, while President Unicorn has only talked about it.
To me THAT IS A BIG DIFFERENCE. I will take a dog that ‘growls’ any day over a dog that has a proven history of ‘biting’ people.
Why? Because it’s in his DNA…
All The Best,
Frank W. James
Let me remind you of what your broker will tell you everytime you make a trade:”past performance is no guarantee of future results.”
It is of course impossible to know what either will do, but if I were a betting man, I’d say the liklihood that a lame duck socialist is liklier to ban firearms than a first term anything else.
If Mittens keeps up with this douchebaggery, I’m gonna have to not vote top of the ticket in Illinois….

Yeah. We could not have found anyone worse without working pretty hard.
Still: If you look at Romney’s record it seems he has a history of puking out what he’s filled with (IE: Romney care, etc). Maybe we need to fill him with something worthwhile.
Re: Supreme Court.
Waddn’t Souter appointed by a Bush…?
I’m trying to remember, and cannot, which liberal justisce currently sitting on the court was appointed by a Republican. Might have been Souter but can’t recall for sure.
My point, though, is that “Republican in White House” is no guarantee of getting strict constructionists on the Supreme Court and we currently have at least one sitting example of such.
Not to mention, it must be said, that the Democrats in Congress will do everything they can to prevent the appointment of more strict constructionists. “Bork”, anyone?
But that assumes that Romney would appoint strict constructionists. I don’t think he would; I have absolutely no confidence in his positions because he has already demonstrated that he is as changeable as the weather.
What I have seen of Romney is that he governs more-or-less exactly the way Obama has governed. Romney now claims to be more conservative than he’s ever been in his life, but how can I trust that? Why should I?
A lot of folks tell me I should hold my nose and vote for Romney–but I promised myself during the 2010 election cycle that if the GOP didn’t start trying they were going to lose my “hold the nose” votes.
Going up against an already unpopular President with unpopular policies, they didn’t even try to rein in government spending after running on doing just that. Worse, they lied about trying; the best they could manage was a piddling $100 billion in cuts that weren’t even real cuts…and acted like it was some major legislative victory.
That’s serving me dogshit on a plate and expecting me to eat it up because the dogshit is labeled “GOP”, and I’m not doing that any more.
“I’m not doing that any more.”
Which is your choice to make.
But won’t someone please tell me how not voting will make it better? I just can’t see it.
This story I posted about the NRSC and their “Young Guns” offshoot trying to take my funds and use them to support the old fossil GOP-E, Lugar, over his conservative challenger Mourdock goes a very long way to explain why the GOP-E was so hot for cross-over primaries! Read it and comprehend the game. Pass it on.
They light up the Democratic voters to support themselves and so they have enough
RINOsSKUNCs to keep control of the GOP.Vote for Bumney now just to buy us some breathing room. But knock off every effing GOP-E as you can.
And now you have a VERY good reason to bring an end to the open primary. Damn treacherous old GOP “Progressives” hate you because you are real conservatives.
Oh, I don’t have any illusion that me withholding my vote will make a lick of difference to the GOP.
But it makes ME feel better, and I’m at the stage now where I’ll take what I can get out of this bullshit. None of those manhats are going to represent me, so they can all suck it.
…and just because I’m not going to vote for Romney does not mean I won’t be voting in the Presidential election. Maybe for whoever the Libertardians put up there; or maybe do a “humor” vote. Maybe write in “Mordenkainen” like I did for an election here in Illinois once.
I’ll be going to the polls and voting, but I’m not voting straight Republican like I used to. That ship has sailed.
I’m with Ed.
We have become the ‘One Party’ state. It’s just that few are willing to recognize it as such.
Whether I vote or not isn’t really the point in a One-Party state because the outcome is the same either way and I’m not into fantasy games or make-believe…
All The Best,
Frank W. James
Sure. Everyone has the right to do whatever they choose. I just can’t get anyone to answer the question: How does not voting make it better? How, if we’re a “One party” state, does not voting fix that? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
If we are a One Party like I contend, how does ‘Voting’ help the situation?…
All The Best,
Frank W. James
Let’s keep it military. When you are advancing in good order, your enemy is in front of you but you have his number. What you DON’T have is the loyalty of your sudden allies BEHIND you.
If we get a total douchebag ticket such as Mittens/Tubby, I’ll vote Democratic.
Yes, I’ve put that on my blog and will continue to do so. You all go with your Quislings, I’ll elect the enemy I know and pass on my guns to my grandkids to bail themselves out with.
“If we are a One Party like I contend, how does ‘Voting’ help the situation?…”
Oh, that’s easy. Primary voter turnout is always miserable, because the country is full of “Enlightened” people who know that voting does nothing, instead of us idiots who still think we can do something. So inAlaska, American Samoa, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, U.S. Virgin Islands, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, stupid people voted and the enlightened people, knowing better, stayed home in droves. And as a result, Mitt Romney is the presumptive nominee.
If you want someone on the ballot worth voting for, you have to put him there. That’s how voting changes things. I still don’t get anyone who can answer my question as to how doing nothing changes anything or fixes anything.
Dog: If you are somehow convinced that another Obama term is going to be better than a Romney term, go for it! That’s the point of voting, after all.
“I despise Paul’s vision of America, because it assumes people capable of self government. This is an utter delusion.”
That is an interesting statement, with far reaching implications. I’ll have to think about that, and I’m interested in anything you can add to it.
“I believe nothing.”
Yes you do, you just wrote a paragraph about it.
“I know what the facts are. Paul is a creep- ever hear him speak? if you don’t hear ‘Creep†your creep radar is fucked.”
Yes I have. He doesn’t like a creep at all, so I must question your “creep radar”. Seems pretty broken to me.
“he has a pattern of antisemitic behavior, and he is obviously isolationist.”
There is not a single thing he has done that is in anyway antisemitic. Say he is antisemitic is an outright falsehood. I dare you to show me anything he is done that is antisemitic.
And he is not isolationist in anyway, so you are not very smart if you believe that. He is non-interventionist- which means staying out of other peoples business, but still working and trading with them. Isolationists want no contact with the rest of the world.
“if you don’t see any of that, you only have to open your eyes. But then most paulites willinly have their eyes glued shut so as not to learn any of the actual- you know- facts. Eric Hoffer has an excellent essay on the subject. ”
My eyes are wide open. Its the anti-paulites who have them glued shut, as you jus so aptly demonstrated here. You ignore all the facts with your own incorrect beliefs.
Where is this essay? I’m sure its full of falsehoods so I’d like to read it to find out.
“While I’m not happy with Obama’s dream for America, and while Romney’s dream for America may look exactly the same (Which remains to be proven, of course) I despise Paul’s vision of America, because it assumes people capable of self government. This is an utter delusion.”
Seriously? If people can’t self govern, what makes it more likely that they can’t be governed by other people? That makes no logical sense. THAT’S the utter delusion.
Its either let people control themselves (which has been shown over and over again the best way) or let them be slaves. So I guess you are all in favor of being a slave. Good to know.
Matt: i believe nothing, i have facts to back up what i say, unlike you. What color are the walls in the sanitarium?
Which leaves me puzzled all the more that you’ve remained silent about the GOP-E calling in the Dems to aid Lugar.
It’s as if you think Mourdock is no answer just as the others here think Bumney is no answer. So you like Lugar and the status quo. I wish you told me that before I sent Mourdock any money. Indiana is your state, not mine.
Im a little busy at the moment.
“Matt: i believe nothing, i have facts to back up what i say, unlike you. ”
Saying you have facts, and actually having the facts are two different things. So maybe you should show me this facts? Because I don’t believe you have them.
I don’t give a flying fuck what you believe, because, being a paulite, most of it is bullshit.
On the other hand, if you pull your head out of your ass for a moment, and google “Ron paul anti semite” you will find more than enough evidence of that demonstrable fact, but I suspect that having worked so hard to build a fact proof screen against the truth, you will have explanation for every time paul said “Saving the Jews in WW2 was none of our business” and his ongoing 9/11 truther stance and his avowed isolationism.
I can show you the truth, but I can’t fix your stupid.
