I hate to agree with you but the truth is that Romney will be just slightly less worse than Obama. I guess that's a good thing, sorta... Trying to be an optimist here.
My preferred candidate is Rick Perry but I'm not delusional. He just doesn't seem to be cutting it this campaign. Second choice is Newt. There's still hope for him. Third choice is anybody but Obama and it's increasingly looking like anybody's name just might be "Mitt Romney".
Next November, if my ballot says Barack Obama (D) or Mitt Romney (R) --and I truly hope it doesn't, I will hold my nose and vote for Mitt. If people want to pout and childishly call me a "Romneybot" so be it. Screw 'em. We know with absolute certainty that a second Obama term will be a disaster. There's always a slight chance that Romney might pleasantly surprise us. At the very least, we know Romney won't be as bad for the country as Obama has been. Again, trying to be an optimist.
Finally, someone else who understands things from a National Security point of view. I would rather have Romney in charge of our military than Obama.
It is INSANE to stay home and allow Obama to continue to destroy the US military. At least with Romney, the military has a prayer of being handled properly.
I suggest we not throw in the towel because the media says so. Remember the Alamo, and remember November, 2010.
There is a primary coming, where we are in charge of one thing—our nominee. Lets not hand the thing to Romney without a fight, or board the trains so willingly.
