“So... all the many reservations about Romney notwithstanding, my question to all is a very basic one: Given a choice between Romney and Obama, ...”
The election isn’t either or. You can vote for someone beside the dem or repub, you know. You can write in as well.
If the choices are as you say, then I don’t vote for that office at all. I will concentrate on voting for conservative candidates for other offices but neither Romney nor Obama will EVER get my vote.
If all the people PO’d at the GOP right now simply picked a non-RINO Non-Party Hack candidate, got behind them and voted, we’d win hands down. No “Grand Old Party” required. But everyone is so scared that ‘my God we’ll have 4 more of Obama...”
Nope. Once upon a time there were several legit parties in this country. There need to be again. This GOP or death crap is pure fear mouthed by cowards.
The logic is not hard to follow. When you vote for a RINO, do not expect a conservative. Yet no matter how many times the Repubs (And I still have my Republican registration intact) put up a candidate opposing what we believe, we vote for them and make excuses to ourselves. I did it, many here did it. We were wrong.
We have to vote for what we believe, or we really believe in nothing but our own fear of “what if”.
I fervently hope Romney doesn`t get the nom either, but I despise him less than I despise Obama.
