I hate Romney so much that I'm tempted to cross-over and "McCain" him
I so want to see Romney kicked to the gutter that I can't stop thinking about it. If Romney became president, I would want Dems to stop participating in the economy so it would crash. We could then start over again - that's how much I despise plastic man. I am "undeclared" here in NH and can vote in either party as I see fit. Anybody think I'm out of my mind to consider such an option?

1. The best way to keep Mitt from the White House is
to get a Democrat elected. :)

4. Well, yeah!
I am certainly hoping this is the outcome this fall! I still hate Romney and all the horrible RW business owners who have huge "ROMNEY" signs up in front of their businesses. I won't be doing business in any of those places, I can promise you that!

2. I don't know. I think it might be the wrong website to discuss your predlications
for voting in a Republican primary though. Wouldn't you like to help choose the person who is going to represent our party rather just voting against someone on the other side?

5. Yeah, I just can't decide
...and all the fighting here has made it even worse - I'm still undecided and not that driven to vote for any one in particular.

15. I live in KS and they can do that here in our caucus. I hate it personally.
I don't think people who are not part of my party should help in choosing who represents my party. I work hard for Dems. I don't want someone who can't even decide what party they like to have an equal say with me.

3. If it doesn't keep you from voting for the Democratic candidate in the GE, knock yourself out.
It depends on how strongly you feel about the Democratic candidates, if you really want to help HRC, Obama, or Edwards to the nomination, then I wouldn't use your primary vote in this way. If you don't feel that strongly and just want to knock out the Mittster, then go ahead.

7. Of course I will vote for the Democratic nominee
That's not even in question. This is an attack on the other side - similar to what some were accusing the Republicans of doing for Obama. I dunno - my hatred of Romney is blurring my vision :D

17. We are the most powerful group now in NH - 43% of registered voters
I have always been and always will be a registered "undeclared" in my state. There is power in being with the majority in my state and I want the candidates to know that. It's also the reason that a Dem will win as a greater majority of undeclared are actually Democrats - as I am.

6. You won't need to take such drastic measures.
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 01:09 PM by liberalmuse
But I don't think you are out of your mind to consider voting for McCain if only to stop Romney. I lived in Utah long enough to know it would absolutely kill me if this man were to ever become President. To watch how too many Mormon men use and abuse government office as merely a tool with which to push their ideology on the masses, and how they do it with such incredible arrogance and disregard for anyone who doesn't fit into their worldview is pretty horrifying. I'm not saying all Mormon men are like this, but Romney most definitely is.

10. Thanks
If there is one thing I am sure of, it's my longstanding hatred of the scumbag Romney. I'll never ever forget him going down south and making fun of the liberals in Massachusetts - WHILE HE WAS STILL GOVERNOR!! :mad:

8. Romney is pond scum, that's for sure.
My apologies to pond scum for the comparison.

9. It is my opinion that
we Democrats shouldn't worry ourselves too much about who the Republicans nominate, in any race at all. Let them cut themselves in the throat.

Quite frankly, if Romney is the nominee, he will probably be laughably easy to defeat.

22. Yes, but don't even think of taking on any responsibility
for who the Republican nominee is.

13. I've done this before, in an organized way with others....
to get the less nutty republican on the ballot. We can't be naive and think everything will work out for the best, when we have the power to stop the lunatics ourselves.

:hi:

14. It really depends upon if you feel strongly about HRC, Obama, or Edwards.
If you feel strongly about any of them, NH is a critical time.

If you want Obama, a convincing win in NH could propel him to the nomination.
If you want HRC, any kind of win in NH may be necessary to stay alive in the race (although she's got money to stay in a while longer).
If you want Edwards, it's probably do or die. He needs a win or "tie" to force himself into the media conversation, and possibly knock out HRC and make it a two candidate race in which he might have chances to come back.

18. Huckabee is the One to Worry About
I'm actually considering crossing over to vote FOR Mittens (ugh) to try to stop Huckabee.

Huckabee would probably beat Hillary or Obama.

We will be totally Fuckabeed if he wins.

19. Heh - clearly you don't live in NH!
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 01:47 PM by HughMoran
Huckabee is a nut-job up here - even to Republicans! He's lucky if he gets 3rd place up here.

24. Please don't
I think McCain is going to be the hardest one for us to beat - and if this thing is close then with the voter suppression and the voting machines we're going to end up with another 4 year nightmare....

I seriously can not take any more years of this let alone FOUR...

Never interfere with opponents while they are eating one another. Its bad karma.
