Yeah right. Losing will teach the Republicans a lesson like in GHWB, Dole, McCain. Four more years of Obama is more than I can stand.

The alternative would be for more people to hold their nose and vote for your candidate. Romney received more votes than anyone else. I held my nose in 2008. This time I won’t have to. Romney was not my first choice but he’ll do a marvelous job.

As I remember (and my memory goes back at least as far as 2008), that was the theory for voting for Obama rather than McCain. Didn’t work out so well for the country.

Just my first $.02

I cant stomach the thought of our troops saluting Obama for another four years. Also, Obama wont have another election to ‘keep him in check’, no one to please but his handlers.

At least with the other guy he will have to pander for four years so there is a minute chance of manipulating right.

Obama is the evil of two lessers.

Plus, hoping the GOP learns is like any other hoping for change. We were told four years ago Obama winning would ‘teach’ the GOP a lesson.

I'm going to go with the one on the right since it appears to be the lesser of the two weevils. Of course I tend to vote right wing so that isn't a surprise. I just hope they don't accuse me of being a racist for not picking the black weevil.

I say that there is a case to be made that Hillary is less evil than Obama. Maybe the GOP should have favored her, because they know they can count on the votes of some people for anyone that has an R beside their name. And she would have pulled in the liberal feminists.

Thanks, I won't ever vote for a liberal, and that includes Romney. ABL Anyone but liberals.

Let’s teach the country a lesson. Obama gets 4 more years and the chance to appoint another Sotomayor or Kagan. Yeah, that’ll teach ‘em (us).

Scalia - 76
Kennedy - 75
Ginsburg - 79
Breyer - 73

Who knows what kind of person Romney would appoint...

...but I know exactly what kind of person Obama would appoint.

I’d say there is a good chance at least one justice will be appointed in the next 4 years...meaning O has the possibility of leaving his marxist imprint on a third of the court.

I remember Bush put up a woman who was not qualified...and through pressure, she asked not to be considered. I hold out hope that the same could happen with a Romney nominee....no such chances with O.

It is a far greater thing we do (losing to a punk commie who wants to gut the last of the Republic) then allowing a conservative with tried and true principles of economics to become President. Someone who may actually restore America to its once greatness. Hang em high!

There is no such thing as the ‘lesser of two evils’. Both are still evil.

I say then none of the above. If you don’t vote for the person who represents your views, your views will be unknown and you will have wasted your vote.

I think we all agree that we dont want four more years of Obama. And to me there is no decernable difference between Obama and Romney.

So to rephrase, I dont want four more years of Obama / Romney.

So I am going to vote Goode for the top of the ballot and vote GOP down ballot.

If Myth Romney or Noot had b*lls, they would challenge Bambi’s eligibility.

Neither one of them has dared to even bring the subject up which means that neither one believes in the Constitution.

You might have an argument if it was the less liberal Clinton that we were trying to foist from office. But when it comes to the apocalyptic Obama it is not even close.I do not care how much one detests Romney, this nation cannot withstand another 4 years of Obama. Getting rid of the destructive cancer is much more important than learning any lessons about nominating RINOs.

>>>What say ye?

Choosing the lesser of two evils is still a choice for evil.

Let’s be adults here. Romney is clearly no conservative but I don’t believe he is a racist and I don’t believe he hates America (both of which I believe are true regarding Obama). If Obama is re-elected he can block any true corrections unless we have veto-proof majorities in both houses of Congress. I hope and pray that Romney will not get in the way of vitally needed fixes if he is elected.

That being said, it is clearly time for a 3rd, conservative, party. It would be suicide to run a candidate now (think Ross Perot) but we have to make sure there is a real alternative choice for America in 2016.

In the interim, what would happen if 50-60 conservative members of the House suddenly left Republican party and declared themselves as a new party? (I like Constitution Party.) Wouldn’t this give true conservatives the bargaining power they don’t have now? The remaining RINOS would no longer be the majority party and could only retain power if the “Constitution Party” caucused with them. This would allow the “Constitution Party” to have veto power over the Republicans (have to be realistic) chosen for leadership positions. This would allow us to force out the spineless jellyfish we have now (you know who they are).
