A traitor who pretends to be on your side is worse than the open enemy, it is better to fight the enemy face-to-face then finding and fighting a backstabber among your own ranks.
Traitors are worse than enemies.
Keep your friends close...but your enemies closer. Purge all traitors.
I think that's a tad hyperbolic. Romney doesn't agree with you on a limited number of items on your list. Obama doesn't agree with you on almost every single item. Just something to ponder. The way I look at it, better to concede a few things to someone who's broadly in agreement with me (Romney), than to lose everything to someone who wants to take everything I own from me and hand it over to his favorite causes (Obama).
