Yes, the GREATER evil, because if Obama won, because his support is built on illusion and fraud, limited government conservatism and the Republican party would grow stronger. There's a very high liklihood that Congress would move solidly right during the midterms. The more tyrannical government became, the more Americans would identify the Democrat party with tyrnannical government -- and the more they would seek its antidote in the Republican party, and Democrats themselves would begin moving to the right. With Obama in office, liberalism would grow WEAKER.
If Romney won, statism and liberalism would become more powerful IN BOTH PARTIES.
If Romney won, there's a very high probablity that Congress would MOVE LEFT.
If Romney won, any efforts by conservatives to stop him would be attacked and the status quo would continue to enable statism and liberalism by feeling it their duty to support the GOP administration.
If Romney won, we'd have nationalized health care with mandates BY AND FROM REPUBLICANS.
If Romney won, we'd have activist liberal judge appointments made BY A REPUBLICAN.
If Romney won, THE REPUBLIAN PARTY would justifiably be perceived as the party of Federal laws mandating abortion be legal in all states with a national health care program that forced taxpayers to finance them and make them cheap.
If Romney won, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY would justifiably be perceived as the party that wants to deprive Americans of their God-given right to peacefully discriminate against, and force them by means of harsh punishment, to EMBRACE, open homosexuality in their kids' schools and youth groups, their military, their workplaces, and their communities.
If Romney won, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY would be the one identified with job- and freedom-killing regulation on energy production and consumption in the name of "saving the planet."
Stop cringing and shivering and start thinking. Understand that Romney would make all those things to become identified WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, and he would simultaneously make it so any Republicans and conservatives who wanted to stop them, would effectively have their hands tied behind their backs.
We can fight Obama. Obama is like a wound -- his damage can be healed, and the body made stronger, by a congress that would move increasingly to the right, both DEMOCRAT and REPUBLCAN, if Obama was re-elected. Romney is like a poison administered on a daily basis, severely weakening the GOP and conservatism -- at this point, the only means we have to combat statism, liberalism, and heavier, more oppressive government.
Worst of all, Romney would betray so many Americans voting "against" Obama and by default therefore voting Republican, some of them for the first time, that the Republican party would become PASSIONATELY DESPISED. The Democrat party will not have let them down -- but when the Republican party endorses and grows liberalism and government, AS ROMNEY HAS AND WOULD, it is a betrayal that causes damage to the GOP brand on a magnitude that neither Obama nor any other Democrat could even hope to accomplish.
THINK AGAIN AND THIS TIME, THINK IT THROUGH. Stop letting fear and anger guide your conclusions, and start reading the handwriting on the wall.
Indeed, between Romney and Obama, Romney is the greater evil. ROMNEY NEEDS TO LOSE.
>Stop cringing and shivering and start thinking. <
I am not cringing or shivering .. I am thinking.
And being “identified with a party would be the LEAST of our worries. But your not getting that. Your worried about holding onto a name of a party. A place card. A banner.
Your entire premise is based upon the statement:
“We can fight Obama. Obama is like a wound — his damage can be healed, and the body made stronger, by a congress that would move increasingly to the right, both DEMOCRAT and REPUBLCAN,”
which I completely disagree with. Obama has already stated that he will move without the congress. he will rule by fiat. In case you have not realized it the man just signed an indefinite detention order that can be used against US citizens. He is wielding ungodly powers and the Senate and Congress are full yet of socialists that are cloaking themselves as democrats and many republicans are simply RINOS. Furthermore, many politicians are just that, politicians that were there for a gravy train. They no more want to make any tough decisions than they have to.
Even the most adamant supporters and of the constitution or who appear to be such have made statements that they have too much on their plate and will not take more on. There is NO WAY that they will ever impeach this SOB in office right now. He is getting away with murder. He is doing damage that is far reaching into the future and that is not going to be so fixable in the future in my opinion.
He is running a scorched earth presidency. We can not survive another 4 years of him in control doing what ever he wants unchecked. He must be defeated.
ANYONE BUT OBAMA.
