Acting on principles requires serious consideration of the results of one’s action. I don’t see your actions as principled or moral, because the results are greater harm to the republic.
There is not even a scintilla of reasonable judgement that actions that support the regime’s election goals will do anything but further the regime’s power.
How would you know?

That's an amazing thing to say to someone simply because they won't support a pro-choice democrat.
Especially in light of the fact that you are saying it in support of said pro-choice democrat.

#1 this is pure utilitarian pragmatism ethics disguised as "morality" ... as if empowering an abortion healthcare mastermind like either Obama or Romney can be skewed by you to be "moral" conduct...
Tell you what...go dismember a few pre-born babies and then come back and try to spout how "moral" that action is...
Pathetic and lame.
#2...your portended "results are greater harm to the republic" might be true; might not be true.
Your phrasing here is always worth a mention on these threads (just not trying to embed them in anything "ethical").
The Q then becomes...are you speaking as a prophet here?
How do you know that God won't more immediately judge a nation of so-called "Christians" who don't mind endorsing, promoting, and elevating a man who claims to be a living embodiment of a rival god to THE God???
If somehow you think that God didn't tend to get more riled up over the spiritual adultery of His people -- than the pagans in the Old Testament -- then you haven't carefully read the OT.

You do know, doncha, D-fendr that when Obama's gatekeepers and wonks and campaign strategists and some key MSM leaders all sat down in late 2010 or early 2011 and figured out, "OK, who's the best we could hope for as the GoP nominee?" That the answer to that Q was Romney... hands-down.
Why?
Reason #1: Romney was part of an openly racist org that he gave 10% to the first 13 yrs of his adult life; Obama is black. Bingo! The MSM can make the campaign a referendum on racism.
Reason #2: Romney and Obama are the socialistic healthcare pioneer twins. It totally undercuts any Romney or GoP crits of ObamaCare. (And the same goes for Big Govt crits of Obama; 'cause socialistic healthcare is THE ultimate big govt overreach)
Reason #3: They knew Romney's pro-abortion stances and waffling on social issues would ostracize the social-issues voters...both evaporating such voters & draining any significant energy toward a get-out-the-vote.
Reason #4: They knew whacky Mormonism would have a similar ostracizing effect on Evangelicals and liberals -- and to a lesser degree Independents and other religious voters.
Reason #5: How can anybody criticize Obama's apparent closet Muslim caterings/ties when the major opponent is somebody who thinks he's a "god in embryo" and needs to necro-baptize Holocaust victims?
Reason #6: How can the "birthers" complain about a man not likely born in the U.S. when the major opponent doesn't deny his religious belief that he didn't even originate on this planet! (Romney thinks he's an alien spirit-born in a place near Kolob, whatever that is)
I could go on & on...with more similarities re: appointing liberal judges, global warming, how Romney is the perfect "class-envy" candidate due to Bain's actions and Romney's wealth, etc....
What does that mean for this conversation? Well, D-fendr, you claimed "that actions that support the regime's election goals" doesn't equate to "even a scintilla of reasonable judgement."
Well...tell us D-fendr...How do you new Romney bandwagon riders like being part of one of the primary "election goals" that have gone back about a year and a half for RegimeObama? Tell us!
You are all ObamaRegime's a dream come true...something they probably thought their MSM operatives and state-level temp party switchover voters (in those states that allow that in primaries) could NEVER in their wildest fantasies pulled off!
How do you feel being the direct subject of an ObamaTeam's fantasy??? Do you enjoy knowing you've been giving them political jollies?
How do you feel furthering ObamaRegime's "election goals" via you joining them in their pegging of Romney?
Here, the ObamaRegime has been "high-fiving" each other for at least all thru April...they can't begin to remove the smiles from their faces...despite the economic bleakness all around them...
The GoP played right into their hands!
