“Complain about Romney, complain about Gingrich but if you don’t place a vote for the GOP candidate in November IT IS YOUR FAULT that Obama gets re-elected.”

And here is the attitude that is part of the problem.

There is no way in hell I’ll vote for Gingrich or Romney. If they are nominated, an Obama victory lies solely with the GOP (as an aside, I probably wouldn’t have voted for Perry either), not an individual voter who is exercising his right to vote as he sees fit.

OK...and I'll admit up front that I might be wrong here, but....

Isn't what the previous poster is trying to say, this?: "If you can't find it within yourself to vote FOR a rino candidate, then for pete's sake, vote AGAINST the stain."

And your statement infers that if you don't get the candidate you want for the rino ticket, then you won't vote at all....am I correct?

Then, might it also be true that an "empty" vote on the rino side means a non-counterbalanced vote on the side of the stain!!

No indeed, the gop - regardless of how one may consider it - would not be at "fault" here just because they did not hand you your particular choice of candidate. It is an INDIVIDUAL decision for whom to vote (or against whom to vote as the case may be) and whether to vote at all.

A "missing" or "non" vote in this case could be defined as your preference for the stain over a rino candidate that is not of your choosing.

IMHO...and ONLY IMHO....there is nothing - repeat NOTHING - and NO ONE - worse than the stain.

Period.

Who would you vote for?
