Mitt, I want my $100 back, and don’t ask for more – UPDATED

By: mikefrey (Diary)  |  July 4th, 2012 at 02:13 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

UPDATE 7/4 0937 EDT:  Thanks friends for the well-deserved lash with the wet noodle.  You’re good comrades-at-arms – I let my guard down and whine, and you call me on it!  I’m over this and back into the battle.  While focusing on those below not doing their jobs, I forgot mine.  Mea culpa.

Well, I don’t need to replay last Thursday’s disaster at the Supreme Court for anyone, I think we’ve got it.  Chief Justice and now contestant for Law-Breaker-of-the-Year (against Eric Holder) John Roberts completely forgot his job description and rewrote Obamacare in such a way that he felt he could rule it constitutional.  Yes, and I’m Beethoven.

But we got one silver lining in the disaster – the Supreme Court said Obamacare is a tax, and otherwise it would be (is) unconstitutional.

OK, the Supreme Court threw this back to the people, theoretically believing that we will now do their job, and get the unconstitutional legislation repealed.  As Mitt Romney is supposed to be the standard-bearer for those who believe in the constitution, want small government, and their own freedom, I did something I had thus far held off doing.  I wanted to send a loud and clear message, “if the Supreme Court will not do its job, I will send Mitt to do it.”  I logged in on his site and donated to his campaign.

But alas, he has made me eat my words of recent days, “I’m starting to get really optimistic that Mitt will win, and that he will in fact govern well, and in line with conservative principles.”  We’re back to what I told my political friends before all the debates, “there is NO WAY Mitt will ever repeal Obamacare.”  Well, shame on me for wavering.

Mitt’s back in view 3 ways today:

1) Denying that Obamacare is a tax,

2) Sending me an email, days on the heels of the last, asking for more money,

3) And relaxing at some beach.

Mitt, if you have any scruples you will return my $100, which was donated in the conservative cause.  To support the blood, sweat, and tears that it will take to undo what all three branches of government have done, instead of following their oaths to defend the constitution.  And looking forward, you will have no more of my money until you publicly go all-in on the repeal.  ALL-IN.  Because if you DON’T, you WON’T.  And if you WON’T, you look just just another constitution-ignoring poseur.

Fool me once, shame on you.  And that will be enough of that!

    And THIS:

    3) And relaxing at some beach

    IT’S INDEPENDENCE DAY…a day when people tend to enjoy the company of family and friends at various locations. I suppose he could have volunteered to work at a Renaissance Fair to give the appearance of being more “patriotic”, if that would make you happier. Of course, that sort of tactic didn’t exactly work wonders for Michael Dukakis:

    Sheesh…chill out…and as for the tax issue, whether Romney says it or leaves it to the Republican attack dogs in the media and congress, it WILL be something Obama has to answer for.

      You are right of course. Is there a sword I can fall on around here, or will the update and apology cover it?

      Happy Independence Day, America!

        Humility is a big virtue. Well done.

        with destination yet determined.
        We go into The Battle with the guys we got.
        We would’a loved Another Ronnie, but guys like him are rare for a reason. {But why wouldn’t we want another, just the same?}

        All any of us can do is our personal best ,and this is a lesson that should be kept close to all our hearts and minds.
        Onward and upward, bud. {Meant in all sincerity}

        To you and yours, Freedom and Liberty. fwk/KMS

        Welcome back.

        We need all conservative warriors on the field for this war. And believe me, I know Mitt Romney can frustrate the best of us. He always seems to teeter on that conservative/trying to appease Indies line that makes us seethe at times.

        Hang in there…this is about more than getting Obama out of office, though that is the key aim in November. It’s also about keeping (or improving) our House majority and taking back the senate. We will be fighting this on many fronts.

    and he’s probably spent $7 of it mailing me asking for more. And I say: use it to spread the word, not asking for more from supporters! How do I tell them to stop mailing me stuff? My shredder’s needing emptying too often.

    While on the subject of spam mail: Candidates for House races (and their fund-raising contractors): please tell me at least what STATE you are running in when you send emails asking for contributions!!! I can show you emails from likely good folks but I have no clue for what district (or office) and in what state they are running. An example: Bev Slough (which Fla district).

    You obviously haven’t been paying attention. If you’re into sending money to people without understanding their background, I’d be happy to send you my address.

    This comment really made me laugh. :)

    …and the wheel is not done spinning.

    Giving money to any politician is fraught with Unintended Consequences. You’re a big boy, and you had to have known THAT, at the very least.

    Didn’t you note the ‘No Refunds’ & ‘ Warranty Not Included’ riders on the outreach Literature?
    Teeny tiny print I know, but it’s there…….
