It’s not enough to be against everything. You have to be for something. Right now we have 2 electable candidates. Refusing to choose a candidate and sitting out this election out means you stand for nothing.

Romney has an 87% approval rating among GOP voters. The ABO train has left the station.

It’s not enough to be against everything.

Deeply flawed perception, there. I'm not against "everything." I'm against voting FOR more and bigger government.

Refusing to choose a candidate and sitting out this election out means you stand for nothing.

Wrong perception again: I'm choosing a candidate -- I will vote for a legit on-the-ballot third-party candidate, and I am doing it most certainly to stand and vote against bigger government. I'll be doing it expressly to use my vote to help in the making of as weak a plurality as possible for whichever BAD candidate, and they are both BAD FOR AMERICA, wins. If Romney has 87% approval among GOP voters, then the GOP has left me and is not my party in any case. However, the reality is that Romney's "approval" is probably nil -- his only attraction is that he's not Obama.

Voting FOR Romney means you stand for making the Republican party the party of Big Government Statism. You can rationalize it all you want, but bottom line, that will mean that that's what you stand FOR.
