RE :” Okay. If you see me as selling my soul, that's okay

Not you specifically see #178, You have been reasonable.(you are not calling me an enemy of this country, yet LOL) But the general principle leads to that. I was just responding to those specific words.

Paul Ryan is a perfect example. Regardless of what he believes or said in the past he must defend anything MR says even if he doesnt understand it and its different than what he is on record with. That is tough job.

RE :”In WWII we formed an alliance with the U. S. S. R., in order to defeat NAZI Germany.

I am a history buff.

Technically we did that because Germany declared war on US first, not the other way around. And Germany declared war because Japan asked them too, and we were supplying England with war materials in spite of being neutral so Hitler decided "What the heck" Turns out he made a very bad decision doing that.

No American would have supported going to war to save the USSR and Stalin. But once Germany declared war, Russians/USSRs dying meant less US soldiers dying

In the end we helped cause a longer lasting problem, enslavement of Eastern Europe. But no one was thinking that far ahead, except Stalin

Okay, thanks for the clarification I missed.

I believe we have a vested interest in whether Romney wins or loses.

Therefore I try to defend him on certain issues. I’m not going to back his plan to address illegal immigration or his abortion policy.

Those are essentially a push with Obama. Fiscally, and economically, and in foreign affairs, I think Romney will be better. I still don’t want to vote for the guy because of his complete portfolio.

Is it reasoned to take the press to task when it is unfair to him? I think so. Is it reasoned to respond with rebuttal when you see folks going negative a lot? Look, I’m for folks expressing their vision, but at some point we have to ask ourselves if we want Obama or not. I don’t. That’s why I don’t see the benefit of listing all of Romney’s shortcomings, as if Obama were an exact duplicate.

He isn’t.

During the last month leading up to the election, I think we should put a cork in it. All of us know the dynamics by this point. There’s no point in beating Romney’s number down, so Obama benefits.

As for Ryan having to support Obama, that would also take place if the Black Congressman from Florida had been nominated instead of Ryan. (sorry, I’m momentarily blanking on his name) You can’t have the VP Nom antagonizing the top of the ticket constantly.

I’m glad Ryan is on the ticket. We could have had another consummate RINO.

We were stuck playing the cards we were dealt, just like we are now.

You aren’t alone!

I look at this as

1) Obama.....Hell on Earth

2) Romney....competent financier, and nothing else.
