It's dishonesty of the worst kind. As I said earlier, I just wish they'd be honest about it, and say up front that they're aware that Romney is a big government liberal, but that they're willing to chance that he won't be as bad as Obama. Tell me that you're making what you think is a pragmatic choice, but don't try to fool me that you're not also compromising your supposed conservative principles by doing so.
Just as in the first American Revolution, those who have the actual courage to stand by their convictions and fight for what they feel is right, are few in number.
It's estimated that as few as three percent of the colonists of the eighteenth century actually fired at the British in anger. Fully a third supported King George III. Another third, while not brave enough to fight, supported the revolution. The other third cared only for themselves.
Unfortunately, this appears to be the natural order of things. You and I are part of a rare company, my friend.
Sometimes being right means being alone...or nearly so. On the day after the election, my conscience will be crystal clear. I have seen many posters claim this attitude is insane etc. So be it. But when we look in the mirror, we will feel no regret because what we believe in really is more to me than words typed on a website.
They cannot say the same. Which is why we have a liberal running against Obama in the first place.
