[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Hello, BCC, the ripples from a drop in the water at FR extend beyond its membership and even beyond its readership. All of us who are posting ideas, opinions, thought-out strategies, are planting seeds that have the potential of taking root far outside FR. And also, many of us repeat the things we say here in other venues, such as message boards, comments sections, and letters to the editor.

In all sincerity, I think you are deluding yourself here regarding our influence. There is absolutely no way you are going to convince even double digits of the population to vote third party just to send a message. At a minimum, there is a core 40-45% that is going to vote for Obama no matter what. And there are more than enough others in fear of the guy's reelection that they are going to vote ABO. I suppose the proof in the pudding will be seen in November, when we'll see if your theory of mass protest votes actually occurs. If you want to check back then to see which of us is right, I'm in.

Bruce, NO GUTS, NO GLORY.

Let's be really clear about what you mean by "guts and glory" here. You are asking the rest of us to take actions knowing they will result in the reelection of Barack Obama. To me, that is a sure loser, no win scenario. The Ryan budget will be DOA. ObamaCare will have zero chance of being repealed. We will definitely get more extremely liberal justices. It is a certain no-win. Where's the guts or glory in that? It's the political equivalent of the Judean People's Front Suicide Squad in Monty Python's Life of Brian.

The real risk, the real "guts and glory", is rolling the dice with Romney. He may piss us off, and he may betray what he's said during the campaign. But there's at least a decent chance that he won't. I'd much rather roll the dice and have a chance at winning, then make a symbolic statement that guarantees a loss.

I have to agree with this, Bruce. Honestly, after what the RINO Establishment did to multiple conservatives in this race, I have no love for Romney. I actually have a disdain for Romney and all RINO E pukes. They screwed us conservatives.

But I will vote for Romney over the scum-sucking communist radical puke....and live to fight another day. As conservatives it’s all of our fault’s that we have Romney. We couldn’t galvanize around 1 conservative. If we did that..we put a beat down on Romney.

But, we can’t afford 1 more liberal Justice, it’s hard enough with “friends” like the rat bastard Roberts. ...and for all of Romney’s faults, and they are legion, Obama is Mountains, no mountain ranges worse than Obama.

Forchriiisakes, he’s trying to ruin our naval fleet now with bio fuels. He has to go.

Bruce, the sure-loser, no-win scenario is seeing Romney get in on a landslide.

Romney .... may piss us off, and he may betray what he's said during the campaign. But there's at least a decent chance that he won't.

Wrong -- there is an overwhelming probability that he WILL.
