Romney in the Wings - Ready to fly for John

10 Comments

Groundswell growing for Mitt as VP

Go to http://www.unitethegop.com for news articles and comments about drafting Mitt Romney as McCain's VP running mate.

We need the strengths of both men in the the White House.

As we learn more about the REAL OB

and Hillary C, I am deciding I have no choice but to vote McCain. And EXPECIALLY if he were to do the smart thing and have Mitt as V.P. That would seal it for me!

A Call to Arms

Norman, a frequent poster in TH has invited all to participate in a grassroots effort to come up with an alternative to McCain:

My TH blog, The Blogatorium, has a new mission: To serve as a forum for disenchanted conservatives who cannot in good conscience support John McCain, and want to use their vote wisely and effectively in November.

This endeavor is predicated on the following assumptions:

1. That the GOP has abandoned conservatism, and that conservatives are consequently under no moral, ethical, or other obligation to support the so-called "lesser of two evils."

2. That no true conservative would willingly and enthusiastically support John McCain.

3. That the basic tenets of conservatism are accurately reflected in the "three-legs" model (social, fiscal, and national security), and that a true conservative will embrace all three.

4. That conservatives may, however, differ on the application of each "leg," particularly with respect to questions of faith, and should respect each others' right to do so.

5. That with unprecedented turmoil in both major parties, there has never been a better time to galvanize and mobilize conservative support for a viable, third-party candidate.

6. That compromise is often necessary in politics, but that there comes a time when compromise becomes counterproductive and even suicidal.

7. That the GOP, in making an abusive and manipulative “case” for John McCain, is asking conservatives to put party over principle and to help the GOP destroy the conservative movement.

8. That, in consequence of the aforementioned, a forum should exist wherein conservatives may discuss, debate, and compare the various third-party candidates.

9. That conservatives should, as much as possible, throw their support to ONE third-party candidate, en masse, in order to facilitate a strong showing in November, and future election victories.

It is a pleasure to meet a "wise woman'!! Thanks for coming by. I went to countryman and told him he has a great idea for 2012 but right now we have one duty. KEEP OBAMA OUT OF THE PRESIDENCY.
Too many people are too "principled" to vote for him. When they succeed in electing Obama I hope they will be satisfied.
I agree about Romney. I would like to see him as VP getting ready for 2012, maybe?

Letter to Congress in my blog

Point taken

you have a good point about when you saidthat its dangerous that obama is lieing about stories its also dangerous because he might lie about something pertaining to office.

Romney VP

What a wonderfully well written and well thought out idea. I've always like McCain, can't understand why the right would not stand by him with full support but hey, its a free country right. I like Mitt Romney too and agree that maybe we let a good thing go.

Just is case you missed this where I originally posted it I am reposting it here.

ww: He gave us many titles, including I AM, which may not translate well into English.

GB: There is a better translation of that verse (Ex 3:14) I-shall-become who I-am-becoming in stead of I am that I am.

It is found here http://www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/OTpdf/exo3. pdf

I voted for Mitt in the primary and though disappointed he did not win I now support McCain. It is a difficult road to hoe though lots "o" rocks along the way. We need to ask ourselves the question is McCain hearing us or are we speaking to the wind. No one appears to be listening.
