I clearly understand you will never vote for Romney, but my logic 100% correct. You do the math.
Obama needs to win more votes than Romney to keep his office. There will not be a 3rd party president. The next president will either be Obama or Romney.
If the Conservative base starves Romney of votes by voting 3rd party, then he will lack the votes to win the election. So who wins if not Romney?
Obama wins.
So when you and many thousands of other conservatives vote 3rd party rather than Romney, you are causing Obama to win the election. By not voting for Romney, you are not stopping the election of Obama.
That is something even a kindergarten child can understand.
You’re arguing with a Moby trying to sew dissent.
Every thinking conservative understands the time to express their views is during the primaries.
Once a candidate is selected we have to face the reality of a two party system and vote for the candidate closest to our side.
Excuse me, but no Republican is entitled to my vote just by virtue of being registered in the Republican party. And excuse me, my third party vote -- DO THE MATH YOURSELF -- is 100% neutral in influencing the outcome of the O v R race. Saying that my third party vote would "cause" Obama to win is not only wrong, it is entitlement mentality rearing its ugly head and posing as "logic."
Frankly, I think Obama is in as much trouble with Democrats as Romney is with Republicans. I think a lot of Democrats are going to vote third party in their disgust with Obama -- I've already seen indications of it among Democrat folks I know. It is entirely up in the air as to which one would win because BOTH are despised, though the MSM does a careful job of concealing that fact regarding Obama.
I have stood eye-to-eye with Romney's record and undertand that both morally and politically, he is off the table, as off the table as Obama is, when it comes to my vote. Yet I have a duty to vote.
I'll leave whether the winner is Obama or Romney up to those Americans willing to sanction them in enough numbers, and Obama is hugely loathed and despised by the majority of Americans, despite how the MSM tries to mislead people on that topic. So it is entirely up in the air as to which statist wins. I wash my hands of playing any part in that decision.
I cannot vote against either socialist, and neither can you. DO THE MATH.
You, like every American who casts a vote, may tell yourself that you're voting "against" something, but MATHEMATICALLY you can only actually vote FOR something or someone. You are willing to vote FOR turning the Republican party hard left and risking a disatrous landslide mandate, in order to vote "against" Obama.
MATHEMATICALLY, that is what you would be voting FOR.
I know that no matter how I vote, an anti-conservative authoritarian statist liberal who will push global warming, government-run health care, the homosexual agenda, abortion (unless you actually believe Romney's "conversion" -- hahahahah) and activist judges will end up in the White House. MATHEMATICALLY, I cannot vote "against" that and neither can anyone else.
But MATHEMATICALLY, I can vote FOR making the path as rough and rocky and difficult as possible for the winner -- and so can you. I will vote conservative Republican down ticket and third party at the top of the ticket for the sole purpose of contributing to splitting the presidential vote so that the next leftist president, Romney or Obama, gets in on a plurlaity, hopefully one so embarassing that nearly two in three Americans voted against the clown.
Fear makes people roll over and do things they regret later. Fear is the sole -- THE ONLY -- premise of ABO. ABO is a bad strategy.
