Mitt Romney had a choice, he, like you are doing with this issue, excused his bad choice by pointing fingers at someone else.
In the context it pretty much says I am making a bad choice, and like Romney, I am "excusing" it. To me, that's insulting because I am doing nothing of the kind on either count. Then you go and say this with your latest post:
As with most Mitt Romney supporters, there is either the desire to completely ignore his horrible record, or there is almost always, an excuse as to why he CHOSE to do the bad things he has done.
Which kind of double downs on the original post.
I have made it clear where I stand on Romney. I do not like his prior record, and I wish he were not the nominee. But he is. Voting for Romney is the only realistic course left to keep Obama from the Presidency.
In addition, I have not ignored Romney's record, I have simply attempted to explain it based on the criteria and research I gave. I do not like it. It is not what I would have done...but it is what it is. That is not excusing it, it is simply stating it.
Again, I understand you concern and decision. I know why you are making it and know you love this country. I love the country too, and am making my decision for the same reason.
We've been around and around on this. I hope and pray for the best for our nation. Time will tell what these decisions will lead too.
Having Obama in for another four years is, from my perspective, the worst outcome available and I will do nothing to allow, by my action or inaction, that Kenyan Marxist to be re-elected as President in so far as I can influence it in any way, including how I vote. That's my decision.
I respect yours to do differently and understand it, even if it is not what I intend to do based on my own decisions regarding the same.
