We have to get every eligible conservative registered to vote in time and then at the polls on election day in November.

Ay, there's the rub.

Just look around here on FR. There is quite the schism on the Right and a great many who say steadfastly that they will never vote for Romney.
Thereby handing Obama his second term.

They believe a viable 3rd party candidate will appear like magic, solidify the Right and beat Obama. As much as I'd like that to happen, I'm a realist.

We need them at the polls, whether or not they plan to vote for Romney (and I fully understand the lack of enthusiasm!). They have to vote for US Senate, for the US House, and if we have the landslide that dissatisfaction suggests, we’ll have the numbers to force either Romney or Obama to govern more responsibly. With luck, those in swing states will vote with the country’s interests at heart.

That would be me. I'm not voting for Romney; no way, no how.

Thereby handing Obama his second term.

No, it is not me handing it to Obama; it is the GOP not pushing a candidate worthy of my vote: I will not again vote for a slimeball like McCain. (And Romney is a slimeball.)

Besides, for all intents and purposes Romney is Obama.

Who said anything about a 3rd party candidate appearing at all? I certainly don't think that. I am just unwilling to "hold my nose and vote" again; I will instead vote with my conscience and if that "makes my vote useless" then so be it: though that is an indictment on the American system itself, if voting for one's conscience is useless.

And, these are all fine folks who are either single issue voters or don't see and fear the true destruction of our fragile Republic if Mister Obama gets a second term.

I fear very strongly that in an Obama second term, there would be no Rush or FR and our Military would be reduced to near nothing. Willard, for all his faults, is the far, far better alternative.
