I advocate voting for the Republican, whoever that might be, precisely BECAUSE it means removing Obama at all costs. I do not trust any Democrat. We did not know in 2008 how bad Obama would be and McCain was my dead-last choice. McCain has absolutely no redeeming value. You know what? I would’ve crawled on broken glass to vote for him. I don’t know if Romney will get the nomination, but if he does I’ll crawl on broken glass to vote for him also.
I have no honest idea how you can make the suggestion that Romney would govern in any way like Obama has. There would be no healthcare bill crushing private industry. There would be no mountain of regulations crushing private industry. Gas prices would almost certainly not be as high as they are. Would we still have debt problems? Most likely. They are not even remotely close to being the same. Not at all.
Look, the simple truth is this: If you’re part of the conservative base and you don’t vote Republican, you’re helping Obama.
“I have no honest idea how you can make the suggestion that Romney would govern in any way like Obama has. There would be no healthcare bill crushing private industry. There would be no mountain of regulations crushing private industry. Gas prices would almost certainly not be as high as they are.”
Your analysis of a potential Romney presidency is flawed because you assume that he will personally be responsible for enacting those things you desire. The president is responsible for passing bills, leading the military, appointing federal judges, foreign policy, and using the bully pulpit.
Romney would be an improvement in foreign policy, and perhaps as commander in chief. However, he can’t be trusted on domestic issues. He’d most likely not lead to repeal Obamacare, he originally supported the stimulus bill, and TARP. Even if congress were to pass bills decreasing regulations, it’s not a given he would sign them into law given his record, particularly his global warming stance. What makes you think gas prices would be lower if he were elected? He’s pro gay marriage, pro gun control, and pro abortion, favors limits on campaign finances and appointed liberal justices while in MA.
I’m tired of voting for any Republican thinking it will be an improvement, when these liberal RINOs, screw up any momentum we may have won.
