Argument rejected. You’re intimating (1)Obama will be re-elected unless I vote for Romney, (2)there is some correlation between your first and second sentences, and (3) it’s our (Conservatives) fault if Obama is re-elected.

You may reject an argument, but you're not doing it on the basis of logic. If the number of people who would otherwise have voted for the GOP candidate but who choose not to vote for Romney is greater than the margin by which Obama should be reelected, then those people are responsible for Obama's reelection. If the fraction of that number who are conservatives is greater than the margin by which Obama should win reelection, then the conservatives who did not vote against Obama by voting for Romney would, indeed, be responsible for Obama's reelection.

You have well stated the argument that Romney operatives have been pushing and will continue to push until...

But it is an argument that slyly inserts an ownership of guilt on ONLY CONSERVATIVES who do not vote the Republican Presidential candidate. Not logical, and not accepted because...

I NEVER EVER EVER WOULD OR WILL VOTE FOR MITT ROMNEY OF MY OWN FREE WILL. The fact I am a Conservative in politics is another matter altogether.

Argument rejected on the basis of...Non-Persuasive; Too Slick to Suit Me.

The thumbsuckers will never take responsibility for anything. You remember them as kids, the kid who took the ball and ran into his house when he lost. The normal kid sucked up and tried again in the next game. Those of us who are voting to throw Obama out of the White House don’t think like this. We want move our country forward, not just have a temper tantrum to punish the rest of us. I hope that the thumbsuckers are such an insignificant minority that they will have no influence. I think they fantasize about the influence they really have. They may be the true .1%ers
