Your Plan A is self-defeating. Romney would act against conservatism, and if he wins with a majority, would have what was perceived as a popular mandate to do so. ABOers could scream until they're blue in the face that they meant to vote against Obama, not for Romney -- and would be snubbed by a coalesced majority made up of Romney, Republican moderates in Congress, the GOP-e, the MSM, and Democrats. ALL of them would point to Romney's landslide as proof of the national popularity of, and desire for, his "progressive" style of governing. And Conservative opposition in Congress would be squelched.
Defeating Obama by having Romney take his place is a fool's errand. I don't pretend to have a plan to "defeat Obama" by electing a replacement. I have a plan to defeat Obama's agenda, which is shared by Romney, another way. I will be voting third party and praying that enough Americans, Democrat and Republican, do the same so that whichever guy wins has such a splintered popular vote plurality that he is denied a mandate and is put on defense because the majority of voters rejected him. And if it happens to be Obama, our empowered and emboldened Republican Congress will defeat his agenda.
You, on the otherhand, would be voting to HELP statism and amoral authoritarianism. That it would result in "defeating" Obama would be a bad joke.
“You are “all ears” only for a one-note samba: ABO, defeat Obama, no matter the price. And that price would be to sanction and endorse the capitulation of the Republican Party to a statist, liberal agenda....”
Spare me the lecture.
(((((((((WHAT IS YOUR PLAN B?)))))))))
Because defeating Romney means Obama stays in office, Not BOTH have to leave.
and then what? You sit there behind your keyboard and talk for 4 more years as if these posts on FR = veto power over the stuff WE KNOW he is going to do?
Like I said, get me an alternative plan. If you dont have one then that is your problem, not mine.
