Actually it becomes ever more likely every time I see some self righteous tripe like this.

Bunch of mewling cowards.

But onyx, don’t you realise that it’s better to vote on “principle” and let Obama win, than to vote for Romney???

What exactly did he say? Posting a YouTube link without a description is just lazy.

Bill Whittle points to limited govt; personal freedom; and personal responsibility.

Mandating insurance via ObamaCare -- or via RomneyCare -- does not promote either limited govt or personal freedom.

Advocating abortion -- as Romney has for reasons of "health" of the mom (as determined by the abortionist) -- is NOT personally responsible.

Nor does it advocate the personal freedom the pre-born child!

(Somehow Bill Whittle apparently doesn't think that personal freedom applies to the pre-born child -- or that personal responsibilty applies to how we treat the pre-born child!)

I am guessing all the Romney nonvoters here can’t see the irony of their disparaging others for the same act: Chuck Hagel, Liza Murkowski, Mike Castle. They said they were standing on principle too and decided not to support the winner of their primaries. Seems to be the same mentality.

I liked Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich and Michelle Bauchman, but they did not win. And if they could not win the primaries then they could not win the election. so I go with the winner because to do less is to help Obama. And I retain my right to disparage the Hagel’s and Murkowki’s and Castle’s!

Bill Whittle said in this message that third-person voting "will not change the fact that either" Obama or Romney will win; "no rational person can deny this," (he adds).

Well, by the same extension, no 2nd-person voting in SOLID red or SOLID blue states "will not change the fact that" the blue candidate will win the solid blue states; and the red candidate will win the solid red states.

(Bill Whittle's not advocating that GoPers are to only vote blue in blue states, and Democrats are to only vote red in red states, is he?...If the standard is that you only vote for those who could possibly win in that given state?)

Whittle tries to sound "civil" ... but note his parting shot...that it's only due to "standards of perfection" that people vote for third-party...

...All as if it's too much to ask for a GoP candidate not to be a pro-abort...or pretend to be a "god in embryo"...or claim he's an alien spirit-born on a planet near Kolob...

Hardly reassuring about his level of discernment for THE leader of the free world...

Arrogant "gods" who show their character by putting the least of these at risk is not simply a negotiable "standard of perfection."

For if the youngest within the next generation aren't allowed to live in a violence-free environment (the womb), then on what basis do we claim any other "personal freedom" or right or responsibility????

Exactly. People who are voting third party, I call "pat myself on the back" conservatives. They don't do what's smart. They don't even do what's right. They just do what makes them feel good about themselves.
