Yeah, I can’t argue with you. I’m hoping he’ll be better than zero for four years, but I can’t make a strong case for it. Turth be told, I’m not sure I can really make a case, beyond Mitt being a windsock, and doing whatever he feels he needs to for himself. If he could become a “lifetime” member of the NRA, maybe he can appoint a Conservative SC Justice?
Nor can I argue with the idea that the Republican party would probably better off if he lost.
Then again, I hate Liberals, and want them to see their messiah go down in flames, ala Jimmy Carter, badly, so I’m not really commited either way too strongly, though I lean towards seeing Obama defeated.
Truth be told, I’m astonished an election against 0bama could leave Conservatives so conflicted. I just hope we put in a strongly Conservative Congress.
All I can tell you is to vote your conscience. I’ve voted Republican in every Presidential election going back 20 years, and the last time was bad enough with McCain, whom I loathed (but justified voting for him for 2 reasons, #1 being Palin, and #2, hoping the stress of the job would cause him to keel over and she’d succeed him). This time, barring a replacement of Willard, will be the first time I will not vote for the GOP nominee. Having known Willard for 18 years going back to his Senate run against Ted Kennedy, there’s nothing under the sun that would convince me to cast a vote for him. He simply does not possess the character to hold ANY office of trust. He is about the most dishonest person I’ve ever come across who has dared to run for office as a Republican. Even being asked to vote for him is personally, viscerally, offensive, right down to my core. “ABO” is not a reason. That’s a cop-out.
Defeating Zero is what we want to do, BUT not replacing with someone of equally odious character, or lack thereof. Zero must be replaced by someone WITH character and with the bedrock Conservative principles to turn this country around. Willard is NOT that person. He’s a Socialist running in the wrong party. Nothing that comes out of his mouth can be trusted. He’ll say anything to get elected. He’s a sociopath, a megalomaniac... someone raised with a grandiose sense of entitlement. His father, a Presidential aspirant, was scarcely different. These folks were at war with the Conservative wing and wanted to run out/purge people like Ronald Reagan. It is unimaginable that any Conservative could support such a fraud. I haven’t spent years on this website warning people about this individual to simply turn around and blindly support him. I won’t do it. It would be like selling my soul.
