Do I want Romney? No.
Did I vote for him in the primary? No.
Does anyone else (Paul, Gingrich) have any chance at all remaining? No.
Am I happy about that? No.
Is there a snowball’s chance that a convention fight will produce a different outcome? No.
Therefore, I have two options.
1) Vote for they guy who’s speeding toward the cliff at 95 MPH instead of 100 MPH and hope I can do something with those extra few minutes of life
or
2) Stay at home wrapped in righteous indignation and help Mr. 100 MPH toward the cliff get reelected. After his accidental open-mike comment, “This is my last election,” said Obama. “After my election I have more flexibility.”, he scares me a lot more than the other one.
I don’t like it, but it is what it is.

This is my last election, said Obama.

I wonder what he means. Assuming he means he’s gone one way or the other in 2012 or 2016, but hoping he didn’t mean he is there to stay, but there won’t be anymore elections.

Here’s a third choice to consider:
3. Write in your choice for POTUS or leave it blank and vote straight Republican down-ticket.
If we control the House and Senate, we can shut Obama down. We can hold all of his judicial appointments. We can withhold all money. We can even impeach and convict Obama and Holder for the crimes we know they’ve committed.
If we control both houses of Congress by a large majority, we can reverse much of what Obama’s done and he can’t do a damn thing to stop it. We could even pass a constitutional amendment or two and send them to the states for ratification. That’s the best case scenario we face, IMO.
If Romney wins, it’s business as usual, especially if we control both houses. The GOP-e and RINOs will never listen to or consider conservatives again. But ... if we give them absolutely solid majorities in both houses of Congress but deny them the presidency, guess what? They’ll never ignore us again.
Maybe we put them on notice with the above scenario and give them 4 years to reverse decades of big government. That’s the only way to stop Obama, RINOs, and big government all at the same time.
Give it some thought. I will be.

I appreciate your intentions, but if RINO Romney is 95% of Zer0 he can do far more damage to the country than Zer0 -- because of the R next to his name. Here's my logic, see if it resonates with you.
Why I am NEVER voting for Romney, even if he is the GOP nominee (shudder)
Many people, online and in-person, have started to shrug and say, "Oh well. Looks like Romney's gonna get the Republican nomination. I'll have to hold my nose and vote for him, like I voted for McCain.and all the other RINOs the GOP have shoved at us. After all, if he's only 80-90% like Obama then he's at least a little better than him, right?"
WRONG. and heres why.
If Myth does 90% of what Zer0 does, he will do it WITH AN R NEXT TO HIS NAME.
What does this do? Well, Republicans in Congress who would otherwise balk at lib legislation if it were proposed by Zer0 WILL SIGN ON TO THE LEGISLATION BECAUSE IT IS PROPOSED BY THE LEADER OF THE GOP.
Imagine: amnesty, tax fairness, gutting the military and so much more ALL SAILING THROUGH CONGRESS because a Republican is at the helm of America. Contrast this with a second Obozo presidency where the GOP will dig in their heels and at least try to fight.
Yeah, I said it. An Obummer presidency is better for America than a Myth presidency (in the way that a cowpie sandwich is better than a meal of broken glass).
This is why we have to have a NOT-ROMNEY at the top of the ticket if we are to have any hope of digging America out of this hole were in. And if we don't, God help us... but I still WON'T vote for him. I'll vote for whichever acceptable, conservative 3rd party candidate is running (so my protest vote will have the most impact), or I'll write one in.
As JimRob says. NO ROMNEY, NO WAY!!
