...do as you suggest and not vote...

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.

Thanks for your clarification on the not voting part. We agree and disagree (sometimes at the same time!) on the rest of your post.

What a world....
