Obama vs. Romney seems to come down to one thing: Can we survive 4 more years of Obama?
If we can, then voting 3rd party to send the GOP a firm message about RINOs, is a good strategy. If that short term loss gives us a long term gain, then this is a good strategy.
If we cannot survive another 4 years of Obama, then it matters not what the long term gain is since the game is up and the USA is irretrievably a hard socialist nation, and what follows won’t matter since we won’t be able to vote ourselves back to freedom.
This is why the Obama vs Romney debate is so violent.
You have people adamant that Obama must be removed from office at all cost or doom will occur. This is short-term doom.
You have people adamant that the GOP must be punished for shoving Romney down our throats and to take their boy on top of McCain, is going to entrench the RINOs and we will never again see a conservative Republican. This is long term doom.
So you have the “anybody but Obama” crowd who are terrified of letting him have a 2nd term and can’t see beyond those next 4 years. These are polar opposites to the “anybody but Romney” crowd who prefer Obama to Romney because that sacrifice is necessary to teach the GOP elites to listen to us.
These 2 sides will never reconcile.
If you think our nation will be defacto destroyed by a 2nd Obama term, you can’t think beyond that to whether you are caving to RINOs in the GOP leadership.
If you think the Republican party will be defacto destroyed with the RINO that broke the elephants back, then you can’t think beyond that long term goal to the potential catastrophic damage Obama could incur to the nation, and believe the Dems will have to take the fall for their own policies.
We are irreconcilable. Half of us will win. All of us will lose.
WE NEED A UNIFIED NATIONAL CONSERVATIVE PARTY NOW.

Where is out Conservative George Soros and William Ayers to fund and push our conservative agenda?????
Sorry, I think all four of those have already folded.
DITTOS!
It will lose.
At some point, conservatives must wake up and realize that we are not a majority except in our own minds. We are only a plurality. And the only way we're going to get conservativism enacted into law is by guile, and by making issue by issue alliances, on which there is enough agreement that we can get temporary majorities. That is how the left got this country where it is today despite being an even smaller minority then the the right.
Victory tends to go to the smartest, not the most stubborn.
