Pride and conscience are two entirely different things. If there were no vital principles involved, if this was really just about team pride, I would agree with you. But for some of us (a small minority I think), voting for Romney is simply not possible. For us it would literally be like making the opposite choice that Jesus made when he was tempted with the vision of the world’s political powers. All he had to do was “swallow his pride” and give a nod to the Devil. He refused, because nothing is worth what you lose when you compromise with evil. God comes first, no matter the price. Politicians get the leftovers. just the way it is.
Neither of these politicians are god. One is destructive of the highest order.
It appears that OPRAH has done her work well...
