Also please note that the lesson I am advocating is not “you ought to vote for Republicans” but that give-a-damn matters in elections and that a choice exists.

I gave a damn, just not for Romney. I don't buy the argument "we need to get the socialist out of office by electing a socialist." That just doesn't make sense.

But again maybe YOU don’t want to be part of that because they might not opt for the Caviar Spoiler.

Ah, so because I reject the bucket of poison marked 'R' then it's because it's not caviar? There's one fatal flaw in your argument: Obama and Romney both are the poison that is socialist. Indeed Romney could very well have been worse: do you really expect congress to block "our guy"?
The GOP thought they could get the secondary thing, winning, by making it primary (that attribute called "electability"). In doing so, they neglected the first thing ("standing for something"), in fact the only thing, having a candidate that was truly different than the other guy.

There's a freeper with personal experience with Romney, fieldmarshaldj, ask him if he could pull the lever for Romney, and why.

You are setting up a gaggle of strawmen that I never argued for. I only pointed out that it’s likely that if people are truly educated in generalities, they will go for the Republican because that’s the only reasonable AND viable party left. Now maybe you feel that it’s a bad thing, therefore you don’t want to be part of it. But don’t set up a lot of strawmen that I never argued in order to justify wanting to keep the Democrat voters in the dark.
