What I like or not does not matter. I respect your decision though I think it’s a bad one. But that has nothing at all to do with conservative anything. Romney is a liberal. That cannot be seriously denied. A person voting for a liberal, regardless of the reason, is still casting their vote, and by doing so, giving active support with intent to elect him.

That can in no logical way be defined as a conservative thing to do.

You are correct.

You are correct again. I didn't say it was. I would prefer not to fight my countrymen is the point. I don't know you, or your circumstances, but you may be put into an untenable situation by your third party or protest vote.

Think about that before you respond. Regardless, it's not a good situation that we find ourselves in.

So sad that you are correct, Norm. MKehoe, you cannot vote "against" Obama or Romney, nor can any other American. You can only vote FOR a replacement. Your vote for Romney, while you intend it to be "against" Obama, will only be perceived, regarded, and acted upon as your endorsment and sanction of all that Romney stands for. PERIOD.

I will vote official third party knowing that the guy I vote for doesn't have a snowball's chance of replacing Obama, but also knowing that by withholding my vote from Romney and Obama and giving it to another candidate, my vote will be included in the final tally that will, I hope and pray, make it so whichever menace wins, Romney or Obama, has a weak and pathetic victory so as to be all the easier to for all those conservatives I'll have voted for down ticket, to fight and DOMINATE.

You are risking a popular landslide mandate for Romney's progressivism, which certainly is as nuts as voting for Obama. What you mean to vote "against" won't mean a damned thing come 2013; the only thing that will count is what you voted FOR.

That's why I'll be voting for a plurality. It's the ONLY way I can use my vote at the top of the ticket to help conservatives downticket.
