I think it is a mistake to think re-electing Pres. Obama will not have dire consequences for the country, but I also share some of your concerns that a Romney Presidency could potentially do a tremendous amount of harm to the long-term cause of conservatism.

Baloney.
Romney is the furthest thing from a conservative.
He’s not a conservative. He’s never been a conservative.
His only hope of conservatism, is a whole-lot endorsement of someone like Sarah Palin, or as good.
I half expect him to make that compromise, to actually select a Palin as a running mate.
If he does not, my vote ends November 7th. But until the votes are counted.
Romney is my guy.
I’m not saying Romney is a conservative. He is a moderate at best.
My concern is that he will not govern as a conservative. He won’t institute the major reforms that are badly needed and that the country won’t improve much as a result.
The fact that Romney isn’t a conservative won’t stop the media from blaming all the country’s problems on the Tea Party though. It could set back the cause of conservatism tremendously.
Still, in spite of this risk, I think the risk of a second Obama term is even greater. That is why I will vote for Romney despite my reservations.
