There are too many “vote lesser of evils to defeat democrat” republitards out there who lack the balls to vote for true reform in a third party candidate.....

Thankfully, that’s not my history. Unfortunately, my candidate lost because I had the b#!@s, and Obama won. But since America is now infested with communists in high office and 49% of our population is on entitlements and handouts, it is more important to pick a winner this time than a loser. We can’t risk four more years. Voting down Obama by having to support a winner who doesn’t pass my purity test is hardly cowardice, it’s courage.

History tends to repeat itself. What if 2012 is just like 2008 when the only choice you have is Obama (D) and Obama Lite (R)?

"Voting down Obama" is your fear-filled assessment of what stands in front of us. My courage-filled assessment is voting IN a Republican who holds up the banner of a necessary movement toward limited government.

Going the fear-filled way is how I have voted straight ticket for something like 35 years, and caused much damage in the doing by voting for, giving my validation and blessing to, a politician who did things contrary to my principles more than half the time.

The problem is not Obama. The problem is liberal minorities in both parties seizing power. When at least 50 percent of Republicans are voting OUT OF FEAR for someone quite a lot more liberal than they are, then all that is doing is to compound and infect the problem.

The "lesser of two evils" argument wrongly assumes which is the lesser evil. Fear is a warning, and a useful tool. But fear is a LOUSY PLACE to come from when voting, as it is becomming more and more evident. Schwarzenegger, anyone? And look what followed -- an even more insanely liberal Jerry Brown, because Schwarzenegger skewed the "center" so far to the left. THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN on a Presidential scale if business-as-usual Republicanism takes the White House. The next Democrat president will make Obama look like Boehner.

Fear is a good alert system, but a poor guide to solutions.
