How does one justify a vote for Romney?

With the foisted increased possibility of Mittens buying becoming the Nominee, can you actually justify voting for him in the general election?

This is what I am truly curious to find out.

Virgil Goode info" http://www.goodeforpresident2012.com/

Gary Johnson info: http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/about

Personally, at this moment, I simply cannot vote for Romney under any circumstance. I am also convinced that if Romney runs against Obama, Romney will lose massively.

I'd really be interested in your feedback, especially in terms of how you potentially plan to justify voting for Romney if he indeed becomes the Nominee.

Thank you,

NRT

“I think the old standby definitions of who votes for which party have been blown away in this campaign. I think people recognize that I’m not a partisan Republican—that I’m someone who is moderate, and that my views are progressive.”
-Mitt Romney (2002)

Video of the quote:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMcjJEXt9To

Obama continued: “I am somebody who is no doubt progressive. I believe in a tax code that we need to make more fair. I believe in universal health care. I believe in making college affordable. I believe in paying our teachers more money. I believe in early childhood education. I believe in a whole lot of things that make me progressive.”
-Barack Obama

Newsflash: No one has to justify their vote to you.

I think Romney’s best hope is that lots of liberals vote for him. His primary wins came in Obama strongholds so let him continue to count on their support. He made it clear he didn’t want mine.

This crowd running Romney have got to be delusional.

The whole point of politics is to win and they expect us to vote for a loser.

That does not happen.

Right, so in your opinion this Virgil Johnson person has the best chance?

Obama must be punished with an election defeat. The GOP candidate is the only person with a mathematical likelihood of defeating Obama. Again, it’s not about voting for Myth - it’s about removing that wicked man currently in the White House from office. Whatever Myth’s apostasies, he hasn’t actually done anything to us, yet. Obama has, and will continue to do so, until we remove him from office.

I do not intend to walk into the polling booth muttering, "I'll show you, I'll kill me."

I'm voting for the survival of the country not for the reform of a political party.

Correct. Either Romney or obammy will be president. You can vote to have Romney as President by voting for Romney or you can vote to have obammy re-elected by voting for obammy, Johnson or Goode. Those are the facts. It's a damned shame so many so-called conservatives are too stupid to see them.

Not voting for Romney is easy to do if you are in a deep blue or a deep red state. I’m in Connecticut, you’re in California - our votes will do nothing to keep Obama from gaining the electoral votes from our states.

Your question should be directed at purple states, in particular FL, PA, OH, MI, CO, NM, NC, VA, MN, WI

There are two possible realities...

1) Supporting Romney in 2016 against the next Democrat.

2) Supporting a Conservative in 2016.

One takes nerve.

> Do you plan to vote for Mittens in the General election?

Yes

> How do you plan to justify a vote for Mittens?

Because it will send several of you to the hospital in sheer anger and disgust.

> Is it ABO “anyone but Obama”?

Somewhat.

> Or is it ABR “anyone but Romney”?

I will not vote for the anti-Christ Obama.

> Or is it pure loyalty to the GOP?

Yes.

> or do you think Romney is the best that the GOP can offer?

No.

> Or..........do you plan to write-in a vote?

No.

>Or is there a possibility to give any thought to either Virgil Goode or to Gary Johnson?

Someone else here said it quite well, a vote fora third party candidate elects Democrats. We can no longer afford it.

If you vote for Romney, you’ll still get Obama.

I think this election is for the very survival of the United States and Romney, while not perfect, is vastly better than Obama. Some are searching for the conservative idealist to be a candidate. We have an idealist for President now and look how that is working.

The only real chance Obama has against Romney is if a third party candidate siphons votes from Romney. The folks who voted for third party will then be sanctimonious and tell us "well at least I voted my conviction" but they may never see another election in this country.

To quote Andrew Brietbart: They try to portray you in the worst possible light... and when I travel around the United States meeting people in the Tea Party who care -- black, white, gay, straight -- anyone that's willing to stand next to me to fight the progressive left, I will be in that bunker, and if you're not in that bunker 'cause you're not satisfied with this candidate, more than shame on you. You're on the other side.

In Vietnam we lost a lot of good pilots under a situation called “target fixation”. The fighter pilot would be so committed to a target on the ground, he would forget to pull up and actually fly the aircraft into the ground.

Pull up.
