Consider the alternative.
If you were faced with the prospect of choosing between an agonizing and slow death, and being able to get about with only a few prosthetics and painkillers, but with expectation of living on for many years longer, which would you choose?
Obama, depend on it, is surrender to doom and despair. With Romney, there is a middling chance that we may rally and cripple the forces of darkness, with at least some hope to regaining what we once were.
Broken glass has been strewn about you on whichever path you take. Blood, toil, tears and sweat are the only things promised to you.
Make the best of it. Because that is the remaining choice.
