Talk about giving aid and comfort to the enemy........Obama! No vote for Romney is a vote for Obama, and Marxism and radical supreme court justices, and higher taxes and welfare and fast and furious, and unemployment, and Nancy & harry, and solyndra. Bottom line I’d take Rubio in a heartbeat is he the best around, hell no but at least loves this country.

No vote for Romney is a vote for Obama.

Total poppycock. There's only ONE WAY to vote for Obama, and that's to mark his name on the ballot. You think that an Independent who voted for Obama last time who votes third party this time, is voting for Obama, which is absurd. Only an entitlement mentality says "no vote for Romney is a vote for Obama." It is pure entitlement thinking.

1. Obama is so low in the polls, held in such low regard, that there is virtually zero chance he could get a majority, let alone a landslide.

2. About 98% of Romney's appeal is based on FEAR of Obama. In other words, people don't think of their vote as being "for" Romney, they are thinking of it STRICTLY in terms of being "against" Obama, and there is no such thing as voting "against" candidates. It is materially impossible. This is not a yes-or-no vote on a proposition, where you actually can vote against something. You voting for Romney is you voting FOR turning the Republican party hard left.

3. Because of Obama's low standing in the polls and the fact that many who voted for him last time will refuse to do so this time, an official on-the-ballot, third-party vote (not an easily invalidated write-in) has exceptional potential of making it so whichever bad guy wins -- and BOTH Obama and Romney are BAD for America -- gets in on such a stinking, humiliating plurality that nearly two in three voted against him, and that president would be made WEAK, defensive, and vulnerable. If Obama won in such a way, he would become a laughingstock.

You will be voting for making the Republican party as liberal as the Democrat party. That won't be your intention, but it WOULD be the reality.

I will be voting the only way I can -- I will be voting FOR weakening whichever guy wins, so I will be voting third party. Because I understand that voting "against" is a fallacy.
