If you wish to vote for him, if others here wish to vote for him, it will be your and their consciences that will have to deal with what he does, not mine.
Hear hear. Practically all I have left is my conscience, my personal integrity, and the fundamental American principles that I hold dear. I will not willingly give those things away out of fear or threat.
If Mitt Romney is the best we have to offer, then we're not even pretending to fight back against the leftist destruction of our country. No thanks. I won't be a party to that deception and sell out of the conservative rebellion at pennies on the dollar.
Thank you WindFlier.
I doubt you relish being placed in this position any more than I do. We tried to tell them earlier this year. They wouldn’t listen the first quarter of this year, and now I’m deaf to them the last quarter of this year.
Sad. True.
I identify with your thoughts on this. You worded it nicely.
AMEN, Windflier.
I pray that American patriots wake up in time to the foolishness of ABO and understand that they would better use their vote to weaken whichever statist authoritarian we are GUARANTEED to get, by voting third party and splitting the vote into such a plurality that the winner goes into office with the majority of Americans on record as voting AGAINST him, making that president vulnerable to his enemies in his own party as well as the opposition party, and giving the conservatives we voted for down-ticket a better chance of dominating him.
Windflier, we are in sizeable and good company. My list of FReepers who refuse to vote for Romney is at 119 names now, though there are probably many more because I am ONLY including those where I've caught their posts where they've said they won't vote for Romney, or (in about three cases) come down on him so harshly and so consistently, post after post, that it's safe to assume they won't.
Sometimes I read a post and am just about adding the FReepers name to my list, and then see at the bottom, "but he'd be better than Obama ..." and have to leave the name off. A sadly shocking number of good patriots and fellow conservatives who absolutely loathe Romney and everything he stands for, are ready to vote for him against their better judgment.
Talk about a red flag that voting for the guy is a bad move.
