Within my circle of friends, their friends, and groups I am in, I have seen a lot of talk about "revolt" come the convention. Now revolt seems to take many different forms. There are the Paul supporters who want to hi-jack the convention, there are conservatives who have gone the "your way or the highway" route, and people who are just upset their candidate is not the nominee. I recently saw a post demanding we all revolt come convention, and get some other candidate!!
The common thread that all of these versions of revolt have is this, to get rid of Mitt Romney. Now Mitt was not my first pick, in all honesty he was 3rd on my list out of all the candidates. Needless to say he was certainly not at the bottom of my list either. I know Mitt is not perfect, but NONE of the candidates were, and none ever are. Some people seem to have an issue with Mitt's religion (I wrote a blog about that before), some have a problem with the fact he has worked hard and made a good living for him and his family, other's seem to have a problem with the fact as he's gotten older, his beliefs have changed and formed. Whatever the reasons, the time for all of this is past.
Think about this people, especially if you are on the fence concerning our nominee. BO is ruining our country. I have heard the excuse "it's just 4 more years, how much harm can he do?". Seriously? how much harm? he has already done immeasurable harm to our country. The man has kept none of his promises, has sky rocketed our debt, has no regard for our military, no regard for our Constitution. He has already bypassed our Constitution several times, what's to stop him from completely tossing it out if he stays in office? he has shown he cares nothing for America, our principles, our founding fathers. He cares nothing for our future, our laws. If this man is allowed to stay in office for 4 more years, we will NOT have an America come the end of it, and most likely this will be the last election in our country.
Is sticking to your principles, or demanding your "perfect" candidate, really worth it? Is it worth it for our children? I certainly do not think it's worth it. So many complain that the other side won't work with us, or the party won't work with us, has it ever occurred to anyone that for the good of the country sacrifices have to be made? I for one am willing to stand with our founding father's, and sacrifice what's necessary for this country, so we keep the America that we love, and have a country we are proud to call home! I have honestly lost ALL patience with people who are refusing to budge, who refuse to see the big picture, who will vote for someone not on the ballot but then say they did not help Obama. A vote for anyone, other than our nominee, is a vote for BO. Not to mention that this fighting, and bickering, and trying to hi-jack a convention in order to force another nominee? is only hurting us in the long run.....
Very well written! Thanks for this post. Four more years of Obama will absolutely ruin our country! You are so right. Anyone who doesn't vote for Mitt Romney is contributing to the continued ruin of our country. The convention should be a time of uniting and celebrating and planning--not infighting. People are leaving the Republican Party because of this divisiveness. Let's unite behind our candidate!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharlene! It is nice to know that people understand and relate to what I write. Obama is definitely a threat to us, and I am praying that we can come together to defeat him!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!! I think this says what so many of us feel!!
ReplyDeleteWhen many people voted for Ross Perot, we knew it was a wasted vote, but many people including myself felt that they were sending a message to the Republican Party. We did - the message was, a third party vote by a Republican helps a Democrat win.. I have wanted to change that vote a hundred times since then, but once it was cast, it's over and you can't get it back. The stakes were not as high in that election and I know that lessons are better learned when you make the mistake yourself - BUT by voting for a third party in this election you are sending the future of our country down a path that we may not be recoverable. Think of your future and more importantly the future of the children in this Nation. I want all children to grow up in a country that they are proud of and that they can be successful in anything they chose to do if they work hard. America is the Land of Opportunity and we should fight to keep it that way. I don't want my children to think that food stamps and welfare are a career choice and they have to feel ashamed to be a Christian. This election is not the time to prove a point - It's a time to save our Country and to be PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN AGAIN!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell said! Did you ever hear the old joke about baseball? It goes, "My favorite team is the Braves and whoever is playing the Yankees". We all need to band together to make Mitt Romney our favorite candidate simply b/c he is playing against Obama. I'm not a Romney fan or a Republican party fan either. I am a Reagan Conservative. WWRD? Stand with the man who can beat Obama.
