Look, Romney wasn’t my first choice, either, not even my second or third. I wanted Cain, then Santorum.
Howerver Romney is the nominee, and since the primary objective this time around is to get rid of the Kenyan Usurper, everyone should be willing to crawl over broken glass to vote for the only candidate who can do that. I get upset when people fail to see this simple logic.
Third party candidates never win, but can cause the guy who could stop Zero to lose. Primaries are for principles. The general election is when you support the nominee. This is not the election to send a message.
The problem with purists of any stripe is that they’d rather waste their vote on some nobody who has no chance of anything beyond being a spoiler, or stay home. Why not vote for the guy you agree 80%...or even 70% instead of waliting for your idea of perfection? Throwing your vote away on this nobody only guarantees the guy you agree with 0% will win.
Does this upset me? Yeah. The economy needs fixed. I’m seeing my resources taking major hits because of it, and I get offended when people jeopardize that.
Have you ever learned to be a team player?
I reject your “logic” and remind you that my vote doesn’t belong to the GOP. Therefore voting for Goode is NOT a vote lost for Romney. It’s simply a vote Romney never had.
You vote the way you want. I’m 100% comfortable with my choice.
