Mediate: Breitbart Writer Begs Libertarians To Vote Romney — Sorry, It Ain’t Going To Work

[supermario21]

Yes but what is the Republican Party of Mitt Romney? It was different when he was in Massachusetts and it was different when he ran in the primary. If Rand suddenly became one of the powerful leaders in the Senate then Romney would likely be finding ways to bend over backwards and reach out to him, especially considering that without Rand, he wouldn't be able to get anything done (as the Senate seems to be tilting back toward 50/50 or even D control). Keep in mind while all of this will be going on 2014 primary season will already be heating up where hopefully we can prop up Davis against Lindsey Graham and vote out some more neocons. It's kind of a risk/reward situation with Romney. The risk is we literally don't know what Mitt will show up to the White House. But the reward would be him being a puppet, and reaching out to the new emerging face of the Republican Party. He isn't a known quantity to the extent a McCain was, or a Lindsey Graham would have been.

I think the risk is worth it, we may not get a Republican nominee this vulnerable to being influenced/swayed until one of our own like Rand runs someday. What else do we do, sit on the sidelines, watch Obama make more changes that will likely never be overturned even if a liberty movement were to take over Washington DC?

You lost that argument with me when the GOP rubber stamped the Patriot Act, Medicare Part D, and watched GWB tell Congress "Fuck You" when they voted against the auto industry bailouts.

I can make the argument even shorter and in just four words.

"The ayes have it."

Well I can see I am vastly outnumbered on this forum. Oh well. I was a delegate for Paul back at the 2008 West Virginia convention where we gave WV delegates to someone other than Romney. Romney then blamed McCain, which even though I dislike McCain, was not his fault. Just pointing out that I am no troll and have no love for Romney.

I was encouraged when Romney chose Paul Ryan as a running mate (would have preferred Rand) because Ryan seems to want to really tackle some of the economic issues facing the country that are big. Our debt has been downgraded twice and Obama soldiers on without a care. Not sure where the low spending chart came from but I don't buy it for a minute when our annual deficits are running over 1 trillion dollars now and the debt rose from about 10 trillion before Obama to over 16 trillion now. Ryan has acknowledge he liked "Atlas Shrugged" which encourages me as to the direction he would push the administration. Granted, his votes are not what I would like...

I want this Obamacare eliminated, and with Obama in office, that reality is impossible. Judge Roberts ticked me off but at least he ruled that under the commerce clause, the government could not mandate what they wanted to. All the liberal justices would have had no problem in upholding the law on commerce clause grounds granted unlimited power to the feds. So yes, justices appointed by "Conservatives" can turn out bad but there is a better chance of some good ones than with guaranteed socialists if Obama picks them such as Kagan, and Sotomayer. Looks like the next term maybe 3 justices will retire. It's a big deal as far as I am concerned. Even the liberals vote against drug legalization so that hardly matters on this equation.

I get it, Romney, GOP and Co. acted pretty rotten toward Paul supporters and I understand being ticked. I just at my core want Obama out of office. I know some things won't change. If Bill Clinton was President I would happily vote Gary Johnson but when Chavez sees Obama as a kindred spirit, the man has got to go. Just me.

Of Course, here in WV the state will not go to Obama even though it is heavily Democrat. A felon in prison in Texas was on the ballot for the Presidency on the Dem side and he actually won a few counties in this state. Most here can't stand Obama as his administration is implementing policies which are eliminating thousands of jobs in this state so maybe I can vote Gary Johnson here.

...the man has got to go. Just me.

No, sir. Not just you. Not hardly. In fact, there are a pile of liberals who feel the same way, in addition to more perfect conservatives such as yourself and just about all of the independents. Not hardly just you.

The only problem is, the Demopublicans and the RINOcrats have become so interchangeable that they both have to go. It honestly doesn't matter which one you're stuck with. If we can't use our votes to get rid of both of them sooner, we must find a way to get rid of both of them later. That really is far, far more important than trying (for most of us, in vain) to tell the difference between them.

Most of us can't separate them with a crowbar. The difference between you (and you're not alone) and others here comes down to one letter--the man has to go vs. the men have to go.

Very true. Seems an insult to call these people men.

Paul Ryan's own budget plan would add trillions to the debt and wouldn't balance the deficit for three decades. He's a big-government, fake-conservative, useless hypocrite.

Seems like a really stand-up guy. I'm sure he's convinced scores of libertarians to vote for Romney. He can go kiss a porcupine.

Kurt Schlicter is a dick who hangs out with people like Erick Erickson, who is also a dick.

Just my humble opinion.
