Romney has given us reasons to vote against Obama, but what are his reasons to vote for him?...

Ok, I’ll say it, “He is not Obama.”

Would it be better to have more Tea Partiers elected along with Romney being elected? In this scenario, would we see fighting between Romney and the Tea Partiers over the direction of this country as we have seen with McCain and the Tea Partiers when McCain compared them to Hobbits?

Whom would the LMSM side with, Romney or the Tea Party?

Or was Reagan right that it is better to stick to basically stick to bold colors versus losing the message among pale pastels?

Is being AGAINST Obama enough reason to vote FOR Romney?

YES.

I would have been against FDR, but for him in the fight against Hitler.

There's no way in heck that I will vote for him, but in his defense he did a good job turning around the Olympics and there is evidence that he is a competent or at least successful businessman. Of course, Soros is a fairly successful businessman, too.

I can't believe I just said something positive about mitt.

Romney will say whatever he thinks is appropriate for his audience at a given moment.

But hey, at least he likes grits.

He's done no such thing.
Obama has given us reasons to not vote for Obama.

Yes.

General elections are a choice between viable candidates, not an affirmative endorsement of any particular politician.

We KNOW Obama will continue to be a terrible president - and one unshackled from having to run for re-election. Romney MIGHT be a bad president, but even if he does nothing at all during his entire term it would be better than 4 more years of Hussein.

Obama is more than enough reason to vote for Romney. I would much rather have Romney working with a Republican Congress than Obama. No matter which way this economy swings, Romney will do a better job than Obama is capable of doing. I think Romney will tear down Obama’s restrictions and barriers to drilling, to the pipeline, and he will stop squandering money on solar panel and windmill companies that go belly up when the tax dollars are all wasted. I think Romney will be better for defense. He might leave us with a nuclear deterrent, as opposed to Obama’s determination to disarm us. A Romney Attorney General will be better than Holder. Romney knows how to run things, and he won’t need a bunch of extra constitutional czars to run things for him. There might be a little truth in Romney’s conservative conversion, not enough to make conservatives feel all warm and fuzzy about him, but he won’t make Matthews’ leg tingle. ...The left believed they had turned the corner with Obama, and the direction they are going is not one America has gone before. Romney isn’t my first, second, third or any choice I would have made, if there were better choices to make, but there isn’t now, not even close. I can take my toys and go home, or go play where they won’t matter, or I can tough it out, knowing there is plenty of opportunity for the Tea Party to influence the Republican Party, and to continue turning things around. I wish we could have done it with the presidency this time around, but I also know it won’t be done at all, if Obama has another four years. That brings up another reason for voting for Romney, and that is Janet Napolitano. Remember the memo about right wing terrorists? It wasn’t a joke. It was the direction the left would love to take this country psychologically and institutionally. Romney won’t do that, and his pick for Janet’s position will maybe help turn some of that around. I don’t know who Romney’s Secretary of State will be, but whomever it is, he or she will be better than Hillary. Romney isn’t part of the Chicago criminal organization, and he will have better people around him than Obama has. When the Black Panthers put a bounty out on someone’s head, some Black Panthers will be prosecuted. Romney won’t be getting on TV to tell us some hip hop, gang bang wannabe, doper, street fighter is the kind of son he would want. Romney may be gay friendly, but he isn’t gay, and he may yet come to deeper understanding of how values work in culture, unlike being a dimwit like Hillary, telling us Democracy will bring Western values to Islam. Ann Romney will be a much better, less meddling, less expensive First Lady than Michelle, and she doesn’t look like a mean dyke. I don’t know what kind of president Romney will be, but I am certain the nation he leaves us with four years from now, or eight years from now will be better than what Obama will deliver to us.

As much as I’m not thrilled with Romney, another obama presidency will destroy America. We can not allow that, hold your nose and vote for Romney if that’s what it takes.

If Romney wants a second term, he will have to do drastic measures to get spending under control, and be willing to deal with riots from the people who get cut off.

By the time of the election Romney will have a large portion of the democrat vote. Obama will have to seize it if he wants to keep it.

Regardless of his lack of conservative bonafides, and it may be unfortunate, but Romney remains the leading alternative to Obama.

If there is another candidate, scheme, plot, or miracle that can take the lead from Romney, somebody/anybody please come out and state it or make your case as to how Romney can be bested at this point and Obama unseated. You need to come up with someone that conservatives, republicans, moderates, independants and some right-leaning dems will vote for instead of Romney. Like it or not, conservatives aren't the only folks who vote. We remain outnumbered by all the other demographics who also register as "Republican".

For this election, it appears the choice has been made (barring any unforseen miracles - and I'll take any) and we have to play the hand we've been dealt as best we can. So, why not begin an immediate call to primary Romney? We have four years to get our act together.

We all need to choose: lead, follow or get out of the way.
