Anyone like yourselves, who is trying to tell conservatives that there is no difference between Romney and Obama is either totally detached from reality and has not been following how Obama is destroying the US, or an Obama supporter trying to suppress the conservatives’ vote for Romney.
I think you are both most likely to be in the first category. I recommend you learn more about what Obama has done, is doing, and is planning to do, unconstrained in his second term, then crawl through broken glass, if necessary to keep Obama from getting a second term and the only way that happens, is if Romney gets more votes and defeats him.
Reality, anyone?
The reality is that the GOP is leaning increasing left. I am more concerned with winning the ideological war than with winning the 2012 presidential battle.
Peace in our time -my ass! You want to compromise principle and kick the can down the road and HOPE the GOP will fix itself -good luck with that.
Anyone like yourself, who truly believes that there's some substantial difference between Obama and Romney, is simply deluding themselves, and NOT reviewing his uber liberal record. To wit:
Mitt Romney’s Dismal Record
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

You don't have to tell me how bad Obama is. I'm acutely aware of that fact. The point that you and others of your mindset are missing, is that Romney is only slightly to Obama's right, and most of what constitutes that, is campaign rhetoric on his part. It's not borne out by the man's actual record, which reads more like any liberal Democrat's than a Republican's.
Prepare to have your soul crushed, if you're casting your lot with Romney in the belief that he'll actually roll back Obama's leftist agenda, or even turn the wheel. He'll do nothing of the kind, and in fact, will likely only tap the brakes slightly a couple of times to trick conservatives into thinking he's honestly doing what he was elected to do.
He's as much a globalist, elitist, Socialist, as Obama is, albeit from a different mold and manufacturing stamp. In truth, they work for the same masters, and are sworn to the same agenda.
The only real choice you have, is whether to support the puppet masters' destruction of America, or resist with everything you've got. There are no other real choices.
