“And though some think Romney another sort of devil, he really IS our only choice to defeat Obama.”
Romney IS a devil. My “goal” is not to remove Obama, it is to establish conservatism. Romney WILL NOT DO THAT.
Plus, he is a liar, liberal, abortionist, homosexualist, and government statist....he is antithetical to conservative principles. Trying to eradicate Obama with Romney is akin to attempting to extinguish a fire using a flammable liquid instead of water. You don’t replace a liberal with another liberal. You just keep things bad, but in a more insidious way.
Romney is NOT a devil, you just don't like him, because you disagree with him in everything.
The further we move from conservatism, the harder it will be to get back. If Obama continues in office, we move inexorably to the left. You may think Romney is exactly the same, but he is not. They may share some ideas on social issues, but on economics, they are worlds apart.
The social issues are important, and many of us hold them dear, but the vast majority of American voters will ignore them, if their main concern is finding a job to put food on their tables. Because of this, it's much more difficult to be elected by stressing the social issues as opposed to the fiscal ones. Romney will be much better for the economy, and their chances for work, than Obama will.
It stinks, but that's the reality we face in this election. Continually denigrating Romney will do nothing except turn voters who might have thought about voting for him off, and possibly even back to Obama. That won't help us to move toward conservatism in the long run.
