OK....so we are not 100% certain where Romney, the successful capitalist will pivot next. But you failed to mention that we are 100% certain where the radical socialist from Chicago will take the country.
I think I will go with some uncertainty over 100% metaphysical certainty.

No. Not this election. Perhaps in a more prosperous, frivolous day in the future, but not this year.
Could not have said it better!
He’s better than what we’ve got.
You will have a chance to sway Romney on whatever issue you want.... (Better become a good salesman)
You will not have a chance with O in office
You can't compare Reagan trying to deal with the public's knowledge that he was a famous right-winger, to a man who is famous among conservatives for being anti-Reagan and anti-conservative.
You know, I’m not voting for my fairy Godmother, I realize the limitations of a man and there is no man out there that would please even all of us on FR.
Presidents/politicians are not God, thanks be to God, they are simple humans and some are better than others and we get to vote for the “some are better than other” in most elections.
While the left looks for Utopia the right looks for conservative saints who think and act exactly like they do. That person does not exist.
I’m not fan of Romney, and I dare anyone to find a post where I’ve been overjoyed by his being the (R) candidate for President. But, in spite of endless attempts by you and other diligent 5th columnists to get your black plague put back into office, I’m going to vote for the better man.
I don’t know what Romney will do if he gets into office, but I damned sure DO KNOW what the marxist mulatto is going to do.
To paraphrase Davy Crockett, “You can all go to Hell and I’m going to vote for Romney.”
As Mark Steyn said, it’s better to push an imperfect person to do the right thing, than to wait for someone perfect.
I loathed voting for Romney a couple of days ago. I’m Sick and tired of voting for RINOs.
You mean to tell me that Romney is ~gasp~ a politician? Whodathunkit?
Is there an issue where Obama is to the right of Romney?
I didn’t think so.
Ronald Reagan had a core set of principles that he stood on and would not move from. Can you honestly say the same about Romney?
The choice between Romney and Obama is like a choice between a broken leg and lung cancer. Yeah, I'm going to choose the broken leg, but I'm not going to be happy about it and all things considered I'd rather not have either one. And I'm also not going to forget it and plan on making sure that in 2016 I'm not faced with the same kind of choice all over again. And the way to do that is to nominate an actual conservative for the presidency in 2016 and make Romney the first sitting president since Chester Arthur to be denied his party's nomination for re-election.
You are welcome to put your principles and the truth in a bound leather book, which you can read over and over again during Obama's next four years. <\NO SARCASM>
Conservative lost the first election (the primary), mainly because we failed to field a strong candidate. Now we have a second election. I prefer to defeat Obama and keep pushing Romney to the right. I'm certain we'll have better luck with Romney than Obama.
You can fall back on the Obama train wreck theory, but Marxists have a lot of experience with turning train wrecks into power.
What a bunch of ignorant crap. Get a life. If Romney is to win he must include all Americans. Saving America, how does that get you?
You're complaining about Romney changing his views while voting for a former Democrat office holder? Yeah, that makes sense.
If you want to re-elect Obama, go ahead and try; The rest of us will save America from the scourge of Obama.
That wasn’t the argument. What Laissez-faire seemed to be suggesting was that it was somehow ‘wrong’ for Romney to talk to different segments of the electorate, which is simply idiotic.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether you like or dislike Romney, what matters is how you vote, and if you vote for Gary Johnson (as this guy is doing), all you’re doing is giving a vote to Barry so you can have a wet dream over how principled you were. It’s annoying, and the continual posting of these same “I hate Romney and am voting third party because I have more values than anybody” threads is getting stale.
