“I don’t hate Romney, but I do despise him. And when I vote in November, it won’t be for him.. And I’ve got the track record to back that up. I voted 3rd party in 1972 and 1992.”

I have voted for the GOP POTUS nominee every single time since 1980. Twice I did so with joy. It was morning in America. Then came George Herbert Walker Bush.

Did.

Not.

Like.

But I voted for him anyway. Morning in America wore off and the shadows grew long. I really have not liked any of them from 1988 to this day, a QUARTER OF A CENTURY LATER. But the opponent was always so much worse. Until now. Now it is night. Now, I am done. I have compromised, over and over and over for less and less and less. But I will not capitulate. Compromise was shame enough. Surrender is not acceptable.

No Romney.

No way.

Not now.

Not ever.

This Lamanite is OFF the reservation.

I appreciate what you’re saying, and I feel exactly the same way. We in the GOP have been betrayed constantly, and it only gets worse.

The only thing I disagree with you on is that I don’t think America can survive 4 more years of the lawless America-hating Marxist we have now. So I’m voting AGAINST him.

I'm right there with you, and so are millions of other Americans. It's been 32 years since we've elected a real conservative to the presidency. 32 years of sliding ever leftward.

Having finally reached the moment in our history when we have what can only be described as an abject Marxist in the White House, the GOP answers this descent into full-blown Communism by running yet another milquetoast, unprincipled, political insider, who's got a track record that is indistinguishable from that of our opponents.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results. Well, I'm done playing crazy. I won't play that game any more. We're now well past the 'shame on me' stage. Every one of us bears responsibility for the knowledge we currently hold about this entire situation.

Voting for Romney, when you KNOW what he is, is no different than calmly squeezing a round off in your own mouth. You KNOW what the consequences will be.
