Thank you, Suzy. I appreciate that. I do want your opinion. I'm not trying to be intransigent.
I detest 0bama as much as anyone and my posting record shows that. It's just that Romney isn't appreciably different by virtue of his demonstrated record, especially in the area of abortion and social issues, and therefore not worthy of my vote.
But again, thanks. :)
OK, Col., here’s my answer. Not particularly profound, but thoroughly and painfully thought out. And, there’s probably nothing that hasn’t already been said here.
This election is the big one. We can either go straight off the cliff, or pull back on the reins, and accept – FOR NOW – a less than fully acceptable candidate. And, it will be a cliff dive that we won’t recover from for a generation at least. Our kids and grandkids are the ones who will have to pay for our wrong actions or inactions. And, contributing to the election of 0 again will be a wrong action.
If we thought that he would exponentially expand government spending and power, and devalue our global influence, and deliver our sovereignty to the UN and/or highest bidder, we ain’t seen nothing yet. In a second term, with no need to do the bidding of the citizens, 0 and his buddies will do whatever they want. And, what they want isn’t good for us.
It is our duty and responsibility to see to it that conservatives are advanced and helped to win elections. We have to take back the Senate. We have to keep the pressure on our career politicians and bureaucrats to do the right thing. All that won’t matter if 0 gets in again.
