KC, Isirio and Louis.. great comments... thanks for staying positive!

Gary Johnson?  never going to win.. he was pathetic during the debates..  (pro-drug.. that's all we need)

I, personally, am growing weary of the videos posted that originate from the youtube guy..(johnperna2).. if you go to his sight it is ALL pro-you-know-who.. (aka, the guy who lost his primaries and who's son endorsed Mr. Romney...) 

Defeat Obama!

[Patricia M. McBride]

Roma, you need to get over it.  You aren't changing my mind or anyone else's mind, but you are beginning to look like a bitter loser big time.  You need to accept the choice of the majority.  They had a chance to choose your guy, and they didn't because he is too extreme.  Romney can begin the process of fixing things, and since he is your choice unless of course you plan to vote for Obama, you better start thinking of him as our president, because I believe the American people are finished with the empty chair!  Don't post all the hateful stuff.  Personally, I am done looking at all this garbage; there is no use to it at all.  I won't vote for Ron Paul and I know Romney is not perfect, but he at least has a plan that sounds American and loves his country.

 

You are ever so right Isirio, but I don't think people knew anything about Obama because he was never really vetted.  If they had known more about him, they might not have (but maybe not).  He was more of a heavy druggie too!

[Isirio Abelon]

KC Gibbon- I hr ago. KC, you can't say that about, " Gary Johnson is the pot smoking, former governor of new Mexico." You never know he will get elected on this 2012 election... Hehehe...Obama used drugs and got elected!

[K. Crenier]

Louis - Amen and thank you! 

[K. Crenier]

Isiorio - Who is Gary Johnson! He is the pot smoking former governor of New Mexico. Nuff said.

To all you conservatives out there who keep telling us Romney supporters are leftist, y'all need to wake up. The main issue in this or most any election is "the economy". I believe Mitt is about the most qualified person in that realm to run for President in my lifetime(i am 61). He has a record of success. Bush had business experience but I believe his oil business had some difficulties. Y'all put Reagan on the conservative pedastel but he had some not so conservative agendas(can we say amnesty?) The number 1 thing we need to do is reverse Obama's socialism. Gay marraige is a miniscule issue and really is a religeous issue. Abortion will never be overturned no matter who is president. Since Roe v Wade we've had Ford, Reagan and 2 Bushes and we still have abortion. So all the Ron Paul people and Evangelists(remember the last Evangelical President, Jimmy Carter) need to get over your loss and get united behind Romney so we can start going in the RIGHT direction.

Ken Stump's Comment 15 hrs. Ago. I finally figure out . You said: it isn't about Ron Paul, It isn't about Charlie Crist. Its the treachery and hypocricy of the Republican party, then you said, its you supporter of Mitt Romney.....blah.. Blah. Ken, why didn't you say so, that you are supporting Gary Johnson. You are going around bad mouthing Mitt Romney, the Tea party and the Republican party?. Who is Gary Johnson! . didn't see any of his campaign ads, talk shows, TV interviews, townhall meetings. How Many followers he have....Ken, I think their is a huge disconnection here.... No offense, Charlie Crist done the same thing, he is a traitor, backstabbed his old party, he can not accept defeat. Lets start all over again in 2016. Regroup. What we should do and concentrate now is to defeat Obama this coming election 2012. Have you seen the movie 2016. If not, Try to invest your few dollars to watch this movie it's worthed. Adios.

[Patricia M. McBride]

Ken, what you are asking everyone to do is to throw the election to Obama. Not directly, but that is you message..............and you wonder why you aren't getting any takers. You can repeat all the Ron Paul talking points, but the bottom line, you are asking us to let Obama have another 4 years!

Lisa, I agree. I believe many democrats are disgusted. They may tell poll takers they are voting for "the man", but how they vote will be up to them, and I don't think when they are handed the ballot they intend to mark the box next to his name at all if they even go to the polls as some will not be able to bring themselves to vote for himself or Romney.

I have observed for the past 4 years, a constant & growing hunger from citizens to do that very thing-reclaim this country & bring us back to even stronger Conservatism. I think that's the whole point here, how do we do this? You can't turn the tide if you don't win the election. And it's not a 2 man operation. It took a long time, since the 60's (and before) to get to this place in our history-a divided country where 1/2 want personal responsibility, a limited gov, the Constitution followed, God honored, integrity, fiscal responsibility, work ethic, our borders secured, an end to crony capitalism, an end to corruption, a thriving Free Market economy, our children well educated, our military supported, etc, and the OTHER 1/2 want reliance on the growing "nanny state." WE THE PEOPLE have to be smart, resolved, undivided, and get Obama's regime out-he/it is LITERALLY the worse threat to this country, to our Constitution, to our desire for Conservatism restored. He's the culmination of years of the socialist Progressive's goal to turn this country into a socialist one. Romney is a proven success in turning bad companies around to productive ones, in creating many new jobs, in bettering the economic situations of people. Ryan is brilliant with numbers & economic ideals, together, they can not only implement (with the help of a Republican led Congress that WE must insure) proven Conservative principles to turn our economy around, but down size the massive/over encroaching gov, balance our budget, show that Conservative principle work-NOTHING speaks to people more than money in their pockets, the fruit of their labor. It's our ONE & ONLY chance to keep the country from going socialist with Dear Leader, it's our new beginning to START returning the country to Conservative values & fiscal prosperity. We then keep pressure on D.C. to do the right job for us, we cull the Republican Party & replace those dead horses, old guard, moderates with strong 'young lion' Conservatives. There is room & certainly the need for the TEAM effort of Ron & Rand Paul, Newt, Pallenty, Rubio, Bachmann, West, and all those who have shown their real desire & fire to implement Conservatism, and most of all, for US. WE will need to continue this work, election after election. But it starts NOW. Be excited, be resolved, be a pro-active participant in getting Obama out & turning this country around. Any FREEDOM loving citizens need to stop the divisive talk amongst ourselves, there are 2 choices, proven wealth redistributing socialist Obama or proven prosperity creator Romney. To me, it's a no brainer-Romney.

Leanne and Patricia - I was chatting with an old high school friend who now lives in Wisconsin.  He was brought up a strong (D) and has now seen the light, as the saying goes. He said his turning point was the recall election in Wisconsin, when the unions tried to oust Scott Walker for doing what the voters had elected him to do!!  What I find most interesting is he is now vocalizing his position, in an online form through Facebook, and is coming under attack from his (D) friends and support from his non-(D) friends!  he is reaching hundreds of people!  I realized that it was time for me to step out of the shadow with friends and family and talk about getting out there to vote..  Amazingly, many of those (D)'s I grew up with are voting for Romney -- they feel it is time for a businessman to run this country.  I am seeing less 'vote against' discussions and more 'vote for' conversations.  I believe the tide is turning and the (D) convention should push a few more over to the side of defeating the incumbent.

Yesterday I talked with my neighbor, a life long (D), he voted for the current administration.  He asked me if I watched the convention, and I said yes.  He told me he was ready for a change and would be supporting Romney.  We have talked about it many times in the past year.  I guess you can change minds, one at a time!

Go, team, go!  Do not be beat down by negativity and sore losers!  Let the strong positive voices of the FCTP get out there and make a difference!
