The choice of candidates is what it is. If you don’t vote for the GOP nominee, you will be responsible for electing the current president-with-an-agenda, whether you accept that or not. Your principles will not keep you warm at night when our children or grandchildren are assimilating to a life as a socialist or communist with no memory of a great country dubbed the Land of Opportunity.

I’m just not convinced the outcome is any different under a Romney regime....other than the fact that this time it would be under the banner of the GOP.

Romney has very similar positions to Zero....see Romneycare, global warming, a permanent assault weapons ban, appointing liberal judges, refusing to support the Ohio bill restricting public unions, and the list goes on and on. As a matter of fact Obama’s plan for capital gains is more pro growth than Romney’s. Zero defines the “rich” at $250k and Romney’s plan is $200k.

Show me anywhere that Romney has demonstrated by his actions....not just his talk...that he is any better than Zero. I would vote for Romney if I was convinced that he is any different and not just an empty suit. If Romney voters want to fool themselves into thinking they are doing the country a favor by sending it down the same path under a GOP flag....go ahead.

I wont be bullied into picking a candidate who is essentially the same as Obama just because some non-conservative GOP establishment and the media tells me I should.

So, extending your logic, for example, if the DNC has Obama, and the GOP puts up a flaming Progressive, if I choose not to vote for either, because both of them support Abortion on demand, and the DNC candidate supports Gay Marriage, but the GOP candidate does not, and I choose to vote for the American Independent candidate who is a conservative straight down the line, I'm responsible for the Obama getting elected?

What alternate reality are you living in where logic, morality and responsiblity to your principles get so turned on it's head?
