Massachusetts Gun Owner: "Voting for Romney Was the Biggest Mistake of My Life"

Dear Massachusetts Gun Owner:

That's all water under the bridge now. Sure you guys in Massachusetts could have just let whoever the Dim was running against Romney win, and then maybe we in the rest of the country wouldn't have to think about him as the alternative to Obama. But like I say, that's water under the bridge.

Whatever you think is bad about Romney is ten, or maybe a hundred, times worse with Obama. Watch the Breitbart CPAC Video. Pay close attention to the end.

It would be nice to have Ronald Reagan running, but we are rarely presented with nice choices and especially so in national elections. Our only choice now is Obama or Not Obama.

Love,
 ML/NJ

It would be nice if Romney was actually a republican:

“Our only choice now is Obama or Not Obama. “

I suspect that binary decision-making process (always a poor methodology) is what drives the pro-Willardo vote.
In this instance, raw fear.

I have legitimate fears of both - just different fears. I have come to see that trading one evil for another will not solve the problems we have. I’m not willing to set aside my convictions to do so, knowing a Willard presidency would result in a thoroughly RINOfied Republican party, with a loss of all influence.

Opposition to a sworn enemy may lead to the opposite.

Therefore, I reject the false formulation I quote above. “Not Obama” isn’t running. By disempowering one evil, you are giving a hand up to the other evil. They are not directly comparable evils.

Hence my tag line. Good luck.
