Why I Won't Vote For Romney
Tea Party.org ^ | 5/17/12 | John Alan

Posted on 05/17/2012 8:20:19 AM PDT by not romney

Because I want to defeat Obama. The Romney argument from day one has been 'you have to vote for Romney because he's the only one that can beat Obama'. I won't vote for Romney precisely because I know he will lose to Obama. A few examples as to why he'll lose:

Romney's positive approval rating has been 20 points below even McCain and Dole's who both ended up losing. It will probably start to rise with the end of the primary, however this is before the Obama Nasties open fire with both barrels, and Romney is a very target rich environment.

McCain lost to Obama by five million votes. The retort is 'yes but the luster is off Obama this time', true, but the luster has never been and never will be on Romney. The apathy on the right is every bit as apathetic as the apathy on the left. However in addition to apathy there is almost a disdain on the right for Romney and the GOP. Romney will lose three types of voters. 1. Unmotivated voters who won't bother to turn off 'Dancing with the Stars' to go vote. 2. Voters like myself that know Romney is a liberal and are disgusted with the dishonest corrupt campaign he and the GOP have run. 3. Voters that hate Romney so much that as soon as the word 'Romney' leaves your mouth the conversation is over. So from where is Romney going to get his votes?

I won't vote for him because he'll lose, the ultimate self fulfilling prophesy.

My reason is much simpler.

He is a pro-abortion RINO. He will never receive mine or my families vote.

Might have given this a nano second of thought until I read:

“Also Clinton does not even come close to Barak Obama on the socialist meter,”

The writer must not have been alive in the 90’s or was heavily sedated.

A Republican landslide in ‘94 taking control of the House and Senate is the ONLY reason we aren’t a socialist country. The clintoons and zero are ABSOLUTE birds of a feather.

So which loser do you plan to vote for? Please tell me because I’d like to vote for the same person and be an idiot just like you.

Historically, moderate Republican nominees don’t win Presidential elections, and in Romney, we don’t even have a “moderate”.

The most troubling aspect of this coming November election is a vote for either major party choice is a vote against Conservatism.

“Also Clinton does not even come close to Barak Obama on the socialist meter,”

Depends on which Clinton you are talking about. Bill is much more the pragmatist. He leans left but ultimately will go with whatever is best for Bill. Hillary on the other hand is every bit the true believer that Obama is.

Yep. He's a pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro socialized medicine, big government liberal. I don't vote for those, regardless of party.

I won't vote for him because given two equall liberals (which Romney and Obama are) only one of them can deliver control of the Republican party to the left by being elected.

Thus, in a very real sense Romney is more damaging than Obama, and the people who vote for him not only deserve either one interchangably: they deserve ridicule and being linked to policies Romney has been for every time they come up, even if Romney is defeated.

I have done this on illegals and bailouts with McCainiacs, and few of them admit to having supported him today. Romney makes McCain look like Eisenhower.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

This coming election is like an IQ test. If you say, "I'm not voting for Romney" - you fail.
If, after 3+ years of 0bama and his commie regime, you can't see what fate awaits America, you don't deserve to live here.

The initial premise is wrong. Romney will win in a landslide. He already leads with women and independents. This alone will cinch it. Obama’s numbers are not getting better. In every category he is trending down.

The rest is not worth reading if the first sentence is clearly incorrect.
