"FIRE Obama."

"HIRE Romney."

"America SAVED."

"Film at 11."

America Saved? If only it were so. Romney certainly seems less evil than Obama. Maybe even quite a bit more than a dime's difference there.

But Romney is not going to save us from what we have already allowed to progress way too far to escape the consequences of.

The consequences already due and payable will include some combination of severe global economic malaise, social upheaval, out of control government(s), inexorable inflation, war, or worse, all of that and more.

Ironically, we are already well past the point where additional delay of "taking the medicine" and fixing the problems will make the ultimate payments and and pain of of those coming consequences even greater. It's becoming clear to some, that the Ryan plan isn't even half of what would be necessary to stop what's coming economically at this point... The (more than economic) train wreck is coming regardless, and the best plan on the table only slows the rate at which we and the world are adding additional locomotives.

If you're not already preparing, you may all too soon wish you had been.

If your vote is going to be counted in a state where it might help Romney get some Electoral College votes, and you hope to buy a few more years preparation time by collecting whatever 10 to 80 cents worth of difference exist between Romney and Obama, then a vote for Romney may get you at least the satisfaction of seeing Obama out of power and possibly buy a little time.

Of course, Obama and the Left will never relinquish their "Get Out of Responsibility, Free" card...

If, on the other hand, your conservative vote is trapped by circumstances deep inside a state already lost to the Dark Side, like California, then you're already getting a taste of what's coming, and prepared or not, the outcome of the presidential portion of this election is probably not going to be decided by your vote. Goode Luck!

Somebody, somewhere, should be clearly voting against where we are headed, and not just over how fast we're going to get there. It might as well be cries heard from the wilderness already overrun by the Dark Side, since our collective choices have already tied us to the tracks.

“If, on the other hand, your conservative vote is trapped by circumstances deep inside a state already lost to the Dark Side, like California, then you’re already getting a taste of what’s coming, and prepared or not, the outcome of the presidential portion of this election is probably not going to be decided by your vote. Goode Luck!”

I can go along with this reasoning if you are in a state like California, where there is ZERO chance to beat Obama. But even if you’re in a state like Pennsylvania or Michigan where there’s even a small chance that Romney may pull it out, I would NOT waste my vote this time around.

To your other point about Romney buying us some more time and giving us the satisfaction of ousting Obama, you may very well be right. That may be all we get out of a Romney win. But the way I see it, at least with Romney we still have a shot at saving the American dream. It may be a slim one, but America has overcome enormous challenges in the past, and we are a very resourceful and resilient people, so I wouldn’t count us out quite yet...
