It's a gamble either way, but the greater odds in favor of conservatism lie in rejecting Romney than in allowing Abject Fear of Obama to bully conservative Republicans into voting for a politician who HAS A DOCUMENTED RECORD of doing all the things conservative Republicans oppose.

Very well stated. You are right, most of those who will support Romney are not doing it because of what he stands for (which is nothing) but because of a Fear of Obama. Romney will destroy the conservative movement if he is elected. We have more to fear from a Romney victory than an Obama plurality win. We must fight through the convention and if we lose there and Romney gets the nomination, then we must rally around a conservative 3rd party.

Frankly if Ross Perot had run against Obama and Romney instead of Bush and Clinton, he might have won the election.

A vote for Romney is a vote for the Status Quo. No Hope. No Change. Just a rudderless ship of state being battered by the winds of popular opinion.

Thank you so much FRiend, for confirming that I have excellent company in the folks who've reasoned their way to the same conclusion I have.

Godspeed Newt Gingrich and God-loving, God-fearing American conservatives, and God vanquish Mitt Romney.
