It would be worse from my perspective simply because I don’t know if I could take another two years of the brown-nosing I’ve seen in the freshly-uncovered establishment media. Romney worship is spreading like a cancer over everything I used to enjoy listening to.
I don’t think you’ll have to wait until 2014 for a group of Tea Party renegades like yours truly to branch off into a third party, though. Any success of Romney’s candidacy spells the end of the GOP.
Given the opportunity, Obama will appoint another leftist radical to the Supreme Court. And then, another. Would Romney do the same? I think the answer is worth pondering. I can think of only one compelling reason to ever consider voting for Romney as opposed to staying home, and this is it.
He didn't do a damn thing to change the state's destructive glide path. What he did do was quiet the popular outcry against the state careening leftward, because now we had a republican in charge.
“No, for one reason: Supreme Court.”
If Romney wins he will be a one termer and could lead to a two term liberal democrat. So is 1 term of borderline GOP appointments worth 2 terms of dem ones? Also, only a quarter of Romney’s appointments in Mass were even Republican.
With Romney in, Republicans in Congress would be divided in opposing any pro-socialism initiatives from him. Romney+RINOs+Democrats beats conservatives.
o, I don't like Romney. But if he ends up being the nominee, I will vote for him. Anything is better than 4 more years of Obama.
At least we will decline slower under Romney, giving us a little more time to get the conservative message out, and to get real conservatives in local positions so they can start moving up the "food chain" so to speak.
I intend to write in George Washington for president and vote conservative on all other ballot measures.

Yes
Before you use the Supreme Court as an excuse for voting for Romney, take a look at the judges he appointed, as well as those he appointed to give him a list of judges from which to choose.
Check out Romney’s record on judges in Taxachusett’s. I believe most were very liberal.
>>>No, for one reason: Supreme Court.<<<
I once felt that way as well, but the more I learn about Romney, the more I think his nominees would be just as bad as Obama’s. Plus, it would be hard for the Republicans in Senate to vote down or fillibuster a Liberal activist nominee, nominated by a “Republican” president.
Romney is every bit as Liberal/Socialist as Hussein. Hussein is just more open about it.
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN.
OMG...but then, but then, but then
Now just think about what having a Republican like that will do to the conservative cause in 2014 and beyond. Time and again, when Republicans start acting like 80%-ers (or RINO's, Democrat-Lites, etc.) the base stays home and the Republicans get decimated at the ballot box. After all, what is the point of voting for Republicans if they act like Democrats?Yes. Precisely. Well argued. Great post. Thank you.
I don't like Romney at all, but it will be a no brainer if he wins, Obama is truly horrid, truly a Marxist, truly 100% destructive. Right now we have to work to make sure it's not Romney who opposes him because I think he's the one candidate who might not be able to beat Obama.
Thank you. Now I feel a little sheepish about my last sentence ;-)
I can quit the Tea party over Romney too.
Certainly if the Tea party starts supporting Romney I will just drop out.
I despise mitt the twit and do not want to see him as the nominee because he would probably lose by emulating mccain and dole.
That said; if he is (God forbid) the nominee I believe it would be infinitely better to have him rather than der Fuehrer. Get a grip! Obama and the democrat party ARE THE ENEMY and we know exactly what they will do to the country and Constitution if he gets a second term. We at least have a chance of saving the Constitution even with mitt rather than the nazi socialist POS currently driving the nation into socialism.
Too many conservatives pushed out and cheered the removal of real conservatives from the race because they didn’t have “fire in the belly” or they were accused of this or that, or the voters will believe the lies and accusations hurled at them, or they are stupid, or they don’t exactly represent my views. This thinking has once again pushed us into this Hobson’s Choice.
Yes, yes, yes! We are at the point now where the lesser of two evils may be the only choice. We listened to all the BS about who cares about voting for mccain because four years of obama would move everyone away from the democrats. What we ended up with is far worse than almost any of the predictions and continuing it for four more years will seal the death warrant for the country.
Whomever the candidate is, fully support him and get rid of the democrat party enemy.
Romney sent liberals tothe Massachusetts Supreme Court why would he do different as POTUS?
Romney is a white Obama.
Why do I keep reading people are going to write in some candidate or other for president, when there are attractive third party candidates. Since it’s a protest vote why not get a little bit of good out of it?
