Nope, I'm an optimist.

You lie to yourself.

I figure the stupid GOP-e will eventually figure it out, if I don't enable them like you are doing.

Whether you like it or not they have the power. It is incumbent upon conservatives to get their starry eyed wishful perspectives out of their asses long enough get the gumption and savvy to co-opt that power to make sure their power becomes your power.

Too many of the self-righteous around here haven't figured that out yet. This is how the game is played. A couple of rounds ago these same self-righteous allegedly "principled" voters gave us Clinton twice by voting for Perot.

Your dower, downcast, inwardly turned perspective merely depresses you. Motivationally, you have become your own worst enemy and the DNC laughs at you all the way to polls.

I won't vote for Romney. Ever. I'll vote conservative.

And in a race between Romney and Obama, who might that conservative "messiah" be this time around? You realize of course, who ever it is you choose to vote for is tantamount to voting for whoever becomes the victor in November.

I will always vote for the most conservative candidate available in two-man race. Third candidates are suitable for parliamentary systems, not ours. Inserting themselves into a two-man race merely makes their meaningless candidacy a spoiler for the victor of the two-man race.

Name calling, blaming me for electing Obama, all that crap is just because people are scared to do what their principles tell them to do. Which is vote conservative.

Pretend whatever you like, but if Romney doesn't win, you will have to accept the inescapable blame for contributing to the election of Obama, even as Perot voters have to accept their blame for contributing to the election of Clinton. If in your pride and self-righteousness you chose to sit out 2008, I have you to blame for the fact that Obama is there.

By contrast my conscience is perfectly clear knowing I didn't vote for Perot and have never sat out an election where a (R) candidate was there to vote for against a (D).

You will never be able to vote for perfection until you can vote for Jesus Christ, but since He's not on the ballot and He doesn't need to be, you will have to vote for something less than perfect in the human sense every time.

Some folks want a win more than they want a free republic.

You have to win if you ever hope to have and maintain a free republic. Your perspective requires some significant maturation.

A free republic loses with either Romney or Obama at the helm.

OK since you have resolved to be a loser no matter which way it ends up, why not just put yourself out of your misery now, surrender, get out of the way and let the rest of us who are actually in the fight to win this thing get to work doing so.

FReegards!

Actually, I think it is those who are trying to scare conservative voters to Romney who lack optimism for our country. Those of us principled conservatives who are going to withhold our votes from Romney feel that our country has enough inherent strength to withstand four more years of Obama if it occurs.

I still have a primary to vote it. And I won't be voting for Romney.

Then comes the election in November. And I still won't be voting for Romney.

I will not compromise or be an enabler for the GOP-e. Blame them for 4 more years of Obama.
