Well, there could be, if folks would take a few simple steps.

There's nothing more frightening IMO than an unfettered Obama issuing EO after EO, turning the EPA loose and 45 un-elected, un-accountable CZARS setting rules for the next 4 years.

You fight that by refusing to comply at the state level.

If the Feds come to arrest and put Governors in federal prison for refusing to comply with apparatchiks at the EPA and other departments, so be it.

It's called civil disobedience, and it requires a set of balls.

Voting for a degenerate scumbag like MYTH ROMNEY sure as hell isn't going to make DC any less intrusive in the rights of the States.

If it looks like Obama is going to get re-elected, people may look to electing a Republican Congress (House & Senate) as a way to check his power.

People often do split their tickets that way -- in normal years. This year, as in 2006 and 2008, the 'Rats are calling out the dregs to join the plunder. We can always hope and pray.

Still, Obama's over-use of EO's, CZARS, the EPA etc.. is enough to send chills down my spine ....

If we can get close in the Senate, Obama's just buying himself multiple bills of impeachment -- and if that happens, all the BC stuff comes in, the SS card stuff comes in, Shirley Sherrod and the NBPP and Fast & Furious -- it all comes in on him. This time the Republicans will throw the kitchen sink at him ..... unless they want him as a fall guy for the economy still. It's hard to figure what the GOP's Walking Gods and Masters of the Universe are thinking.

“Did you intentionally leave out: “FUUSA”? That’s what your strategery will really do.”

So what you are saying is that if I don’t vote for Romney I am working against America?

Seems that you don’t understand what the problem is.

The problem with this country is not Obama.

He is a symptom.

The problem is the fact that so many looters voted for him and will do so again. If Obama is gone, the looters remain, and will try to elect another like him.

Voting for a socialist Obamacare creating, pro abortion, magic underwear sporting, flip flopping sleazeball that is Romney is not going to solve anything.

But to simpletons like you the real danger to America is people who won’t support Romney.

Stop being a tool and think before you speak next time.

I am simply saying that if you choose not to vote for Romney (if he is the GOP nominee) then you are helping to return Obama to unchecked power.

I don't see how that is working FOR America.

But, then you are so much smarter than I,

Are you completely stupid?

I am not doing a damn thing to “help” Obama return to power.

The only votes that go to Obama are votes FOR Obama.

I am not voting for Obama.

Are you kidding? If the Rep’s win the Senate, there are still enough leftists to do damage and Obama will executive order this country into irreparable Socialism regardless of what happens.

If you do not vote for the GOP nominee in November, then you are helping to reelect Obama. Here's why: Obama will receive more votes than the GOP nominee. Although it does involve math...this thought process really does not rise to the level of rocket science. So please, give it a try.

Perhaps the GOP establishment should have considered this before they started shoving the RINO Romney down our throats. While I might hold my nose and vote for him over Obambi, I fully understand why many probably won't vote for Romney. The sad thing is that many people might stay home and not vote republican at all for ANY office. All because the elitists controlling the party want their favorite RINO in the top spot.

I am a Newt fan and deeply disappointed that he didn't get any traction. I think it's a great loss for the nation.

But I know Obama is a worse loss. Come November I will put aside my disappointment and actively vote against Obama's reelection. I will vote for the GOP nominee.

All I ask is that others go through the same thought process and rise above their anger come November.

If someone just cannot pull the lever for the GOP nominee--for whatever reason--so be it. I won't be able to change their mind. But he or she should understand they are playing with political fire and own the consequences.

Everything you said is true about always having to settle. And we should let it be known to the establishment that we don’t like the resulting nominee. But this isn’t the election to cut off our noses to make that point. We are in unchartered, unprecedented territory. We have never had a communist in our White House seeking to remake America. It’s a dangerous game and the results could be irreparable.

“I won?t vote for Mittens, but I will vote for the rest of the crowd and issues that deserve my vote.”

We voted for the “rest of the crowd” in 2010 and most of them have thrown their support to Romney.

It’s never been the right time. We’re always told too much is at stake. Tomorrow will be no different. It won’t be the right time because Iran has nukes, or a new terrorist attack, or a pandemic, or whatever the current crisis is.

Every time conservatives go along to get along, we train the liberal Republicans to not take us seriously because conservatives don’t stand on their principles.

So your point is that I share responsibility for a person being elected when I haven’t even voted for them.

Wow. That’s just cutting edge thinking right there.

Our votes are a privledge which men and woman died for....I don't know a single Freeper who isn't aware of this. But you are greatly mistaken to imagine in YOUR mind that those who don't vote for Romney are somehow guilty of Obamas re-election.

We are voters NOT hostages to a broken and corrupt system.......if you get Obama....Do Not Blame Me.....You can blame the Cardinals in the GOP college that sent the white smoke up the chimney on this fraud from before the first primary..... Romney was a presumption. .....You are trying to perpetrate that presumption.

So please, peddle the ‘Obama is going to be your fault’ among McConnell, Cantor, and the rest of the college of Cardinals that picked that charlatan in the first place.

I’m not buying it, and neither should any sentient being still left in the conservative caucus.

“Moreover,....... IF any vote for Romney, they're personally responsible for what he’s about to perpetrate from abortion to the homosexual agenda...to enlarging the government and pushing us into the Globalist agenda.

Now if you can stand before God supporting that then that's your call...it won't be mine and I will not support Romney

I'm not saying Obama's reelection will be YOUR fault alone. But, you will have helped, certainly.

If you choose (and that is your right, and I don't need to know your decision) -- not to vote for Romney if he's the nominee--then you will make it easier for Obama to win a majority.

But this is your decision, not mine. Please, do what you want . . . but do it knowing a write-in or skipped vote for the GOP Presidential nominee ---- for whatever principled reason you hold dear ---- will make you a useful tool for Barack Obama.

Godspeed.

I feel like I'm watching an episode of "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?"!

Follow this....if you do not vote for the Republican Presidential nominee it will make it easier for Obama to win a majority of the votes (that means "more" votes). And that's important because the candidate who wins more than any other wins the state's Electoral College votes.

Multiply "your decision" by thousands (of principled voters) and it becomes easier and easier for Obama to win a majority (more) of the votes --- in state after state until he reaches 270 Electoral votes.

And then we have four more years of Barack Obama. And your decision helped.

I disagree...Romney is the one making it easy for Obama to win the majority. He was Obamas favorite from the beginning as well the GOP Elitist, though they knew fully well the American people were not the least bit interested in Romney.

Romeny couldn't win the Primary before, over MCCain...what makes any think he'll get to first base over Obama's machine....which let's remember also took out the Clinton Machine.

Nice spin. But., if you choose ... and Godspeed .... not to vote for the GOP nominee, you make it easier for Obama to reach 270 Electoral Votes.

Be proud of your principles and own your role in the outcome.

No, I, and many Conservatives will not vote for a Center-Left Socialist, which is what Romney really is.
My intention at this point is to write in :”NONE OF THE ABOVE”
Voting for Romney will not change one thing in D.C. at this point or even slow the Progressive Socialist train down one iota.
