Since you responded politely, I will answer a couple of your points.
Obama has not only most of the media, he has the dead vote, the dog vote, the duplicate voter-roll vote, the dirty-trick Chicago-style vote and every other kind of fraud imaginable, and he’s not afraid to use them. So unless he fully implodes before November, I’m not certain I’d count on less voter turnout as a padding, particularly with the black vote firmly in his pocket and the 65% of Latino’s consistently polling for Obama.
Certainly I believe there are horrified (or at least disgruntled) Obama voters who won’t vote again for him, but to what actual number, we won’t know until after Nov. 6.
If enough conservatives do as you suggest and not vote, I think that might add up to some damage for the Romney effort. At what point does Romney need that base vote to win?? And are you willing to be part of the effort that ends up in his defeat?
God forgive me if I need forgiving on this, but I just can’t stand by and waste my opportunity to help get rid of BHO. And yes, I’m sick and tired of holding my nose and voting for moderate republicans.
I do understand your viewpoints and I appreciate your post. I also share many of your concerns. Could even a republican majority in both Chambers stop a steam-rolling, hell-bent 2nd term Obama, though? I’m not so sure.
That was NOT my suggestion. Indeed, I believe informed Americans have a DUTY to vote, that not to vote is a dereliction of duty.
Obama has not only most of the media, he has the dead vote, the dog vote, the duplicate voter-roll vote, the dirty-trick Chicago-style vote and every other kind of fraud imaginable, and he’s not afraid to use them.
His media "support," if he won on a 34-40% plurality, would be even more laughable than it is now, and even now it's only fooling a few -- the MSM is loathed in America; read the comments on MSM websites when a pro-Obama story appears. That Obama might win by vote fraud (as he did the last time, I believe), is zero reason to vote for an amoral statist Romney. We'd still end up with the same results: a liberal minority that has seized power over the conservative majority. If Obama, as loathed as he is now, could still win a majority via vote fraud, then we are lost ANYWAY.
Could even a republican majority in both Chambers stop a steam-rolling, hell-bent 2nd term Obama, though? I’m not so sure.
I'm not either, but there's a good chance, I believe, that they could because Obama is not Oz the Great and Powerful, and if started his second term on a humiliating plurality with the world knowing that nearly two out of three voted against him, he would be psychologically gut-punched. On the other hand, the chance of conservatives in Congress being able to stop Romney's liberal agenda advances are virtually nil. Romney's win, especially if it was a landslide, would make them a minority compared to moderate Republicans joined by liberal Democrats who share the same agenda as Romney.
God has blessed us with a scenario where Obama is so loathed that splitting the vote could well work to create a 34-40% plurality for either victor, Romney or Obama. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE by voting Third Party. On the other hand, if Romney wins in a landslide, we'd lose it all.
Seeing as Obama has a penchant for bypassing congress, I wouldn't count on it.
Cherish the moment if a Mitt hater responds politely.
I’ve never had it happen.
I was just called a liar and a lying liar, not even an upright liar.
I can’t remember the lie, I’ve told so dang many of them.
Apparently it had to do with Obama being worse than Romney or something.
