FR discusses "brokered convention" fantasy, FR food fight ensues
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2914026/postsExcerpts for your amusement:
Absolutely we need a brokered convention. Romney is one of the worst forms of RINO democrat in republican clothing that could be foisted on Americans.
======
It’s a damned shame that the Paulbots have more courage in this regard than many conservatives. In just two days Tea Party conservatives have flexed muscle in Chick-Fil-A and the Texas run-off but still we act like we have to take what is served up. I just don’t get it.
=======
How are you going to get a brokered convention when mittens lready has enough delegates to get the nomination on the first ballot!??
That ship done sailed!
=========
Ridiculous, Romney is it! Grow up!
=========
If a true conservative comes out of the convention, they will get the base back. No one is excited about Romney (maybe mormons who think he is fulfilling a prophecy). I have yet to talk with one person who “likes” Romney and that is from republicans. Lots of people are saying there are no real choices and want nothing to do with the election. The common response is that they are all corrupt. Lots of people have a problem with Romney and all his money. I know, these are republicans, but they say he hasn’t had to live like normal people. They don’t care if he’s filthy rich, but don’t want that in a president. They also question how he got it all. As bad as obama has been, the republican nominee should be kicking his butt, Romney isn’t getting it done, and hatred of obama is not enough to move these people. Just look at FR and think about how many conservatives are not voting for Romney; and we are political junkies. The average person out there has given up on politics. The gop has to know people don’t like him by polling. Part of the problem is people are finding out what romney did in MA and say all politicians are corrupt.
==========
No thanks. Don’t need the negativity and Republicans beating each other up two months before the election as it would be a great way to do the typical Republican thing of pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory. Romney is not my preferred candidate, but I can say that Obama is even farther from that description. Even my cat would be a better President than Obama, and so I am far more willing to give Romney a chance than risk having more of Mr. Awesomely-terrible.
=========
Ah man, shut up and grow a brain.
=========
Mitt Romney’s father was a Mexican citizen therefore Mitt Romney is not a naturalized citizen and can not hold the office of president. If Obama’s daddy is a Kenyan then he is not a naturalized citizen either, so neither legally can hold the office of president.
What is good for one is good for all.

But alas, I left dialup BBS message boards behind me over 20 years ago.
I love how they want to devour the only slight chance they ever had.
Where's Bluto when you need him? 
that is an open letter to the delegates to the republican convention asking to vote with their brains...and vote Sarah Palin!
That's a truly excellent bit of trolling. 
If my people, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THERE (sic) WICKED WAYS; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and WILL HEAL THEIR LAND.
Instead, we are asked to vote with the political party that cheated and lied and for a man who is like Ahaz/Manasseh, who thought it was ok to kill innocent babies and took the things of God that was sacred (altar/tabernacle) and desecrate. Just like the people who want to take marriage and desecrate it by allowing homosexual marriage. Government did not give us marriage; God did. I am finishing a book on Ahaz, Hezekiah and Manasseh (Chronicles of the Kings) could not believe the parallels we are facing today.”
Well done. I am surprised that more American “conservatives” have not made this connection as well. In truth, we are looking to politics instead of looking to God, and we are embracing dreams of returning to a former American glory even while we not only TOLERATE evil, we EMBRACE it for political expediency. And as a result we are suffering for it. The scripture you quoted has been ringing in my ears, and it ought to ring in the ears of every American who claims to be a Christian. Even the origins of our nation has nothing whatever to do with our own actions, but with the blessings of God. Washington, certainly, wasn’t dodging bullets (they were punching holes through his coats!) because he was just LUCKY.
This is a call to action for all Christians to fervently preach the Gospel, to pray to God and humble ourselves. Outside of this, we are doomed.
You vote for Romney you'll wake up to reality almost immediately when his MIttbots begin disposing of the sheep in his flock first.

Hey, perdogg, weren't you told numerous times in the past this is NOT a Republican board ~ it's a Conservative board.
Conservatives are not locked into the Republican coalition ~ and can do what they want when the party goes against all Conervative and Christian principles.

You can be for Romney, for obama or for God!
You cannot be for all three, or just two in that list. Pick one.
