RINO season
« on: November 16, 2011, 01:03:04 AM »
So I guess the next Republican Prez nominee will probably be some flavor of RINO or another. Which leads me to thinkin'. Would I be utterly crazy, in an Obama-Romney election, to vote for Obama?  :facepalm:

Neither Perry nor Gingrich would be my first choice, but IF ONE OF THEM IS NOMINATED, I would probably vote for them IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

If Romney is nominated, though, I don't see how I could justify voting for Mr. Romneycare. And I think I would be obliged to do my small part to see that the Republican Party gets the message - health control has to die; we will not tolerate it or its fellow travelers. So perhaps I should vote for the - the - I can't say it - the incumbent?  =|

I think at this point the most we can hope for is evicting the RINOs from the house and senate.  Even Romney would likely follow the lead of a truly conservative house.

You make a good point, sir. Odds are better for reforming the Senate this time around, so I've been hoping for that.

And even though I oppose RINOs, I would not outlaw them.  :P

I cannot vote for Romney as I do not trust him. He says he's changed his mind on all the issues he used to oppose, but he has no record to back that up. I will not vote for him in the general.

I also won't vote for Obama as I will not actively work for the destruction of my country. (Which is also why I won't vote for Romney.) I will write in a candidate if I have to. As a last resort, I will even write in myself if no other candidate is available.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Yeah, that's probably what I would end up doing.

I'm curious to know whether you would vote for Gingrich, Perry, Cain, etc, in the general election.

I would vote for Cain, Paul, and maybe Gingrich. Not sure I trust Newt to noy follow the party line.

Yes. They are not my preferred choices, but I would vote for any of them in the general.

Interesting input. Thanks all.

I'm hoping Mercer gets into this race soon. We could really use some credible leadership.  =(

I'd vote for any Republican.  Or I won't vote at all because I wouldn't want Obama on my conscience.

Sure, vote for Obama; you won't have to vote again, ever.

I am reminded of our recent election here.  I disliked both candidates for county executive equally, so I just left that part of the ballot blank and voted in the other races.

I hope you know which Mercer I was actually referring to. Of course, the media gave his campaign even less coverage than Ron Paul's.  :mad:
