Purist? The man is a big government leftist who thinks his socialized healthcare program is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Ever hear of RomneyCare? Fifty dollar tax funded abortion? Gay marriage? Gun control. Liberal judges and appointees? FUMR!!
It's your choice, but don't try to convince me that obama is a political equivalent with romney.
Romney is better than mcpain and I voted for him and is not too far removed from GWB and he was not the equivalent of algore.
Using the logic that you all propose, a pubbie candidate must walk on hot coals, be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, and pass every test that you all conceive.
Before your brains explode, I'll repeat myself, Romney is not my first choice, but given that it is obama or Romney, I will not help the halfrican, communist, mooselimb prick get re-elected, which is what a vote that doesn't choose Romney will do.
It's a free Country {for now} so use your vote any way you want, but I will do the same.
