Congrats on the kids, I’m envious. Glad to know you’ll vote and I have the same fears, but I don’t worry about a RINO in the WH. For the vast majority of time they’ve been Dems or RINOs.
I just know we have to get rid of Obama. Toward that end we should work hard to elect the most conservative candidate we can during the primaries and I’d vote for Romney v. Obama any day. FReepers who pretend there’s no difference are foolish.
That said, the real check on power is a strong, knowledgeable base like us coupled with control of the House and Senate. We didn’t get here in one fell swoop. This is the culmination of generations of bad policy and I don’t expect to get out of it in one move.
Use gun control or abortion as our model - slow, steady, factual change. We need to recapture education from the Left. We’re making a dent in the media, big time. The word is getting out and there’s no conservative like an ex-liberal. They know all the lies and all the moves and won’t tolerate it.
Certainly, you make a reasoned argument, unlike the vast swathes of ad-hominem so casually tossed about in here.
My oldest son and I were going around on this. Are we voting for the lesser evil, or for the greater good?
Rhetorical, I know. Depends on your perspective. It’s hard not to get cynical, though.
