I have to wonder if all the Romney haters on this site were the same people who ran home to mom when they lost at games as kids. I did not vote for Romney in the primaries. If you asked anyone that knows me, they would say I am right of Reagan. What I don't understand is all of you that love this country,which I truly believe you do, that are willing to not vote for Romney and potentially allow this country to fail by re-electing Obama!, how does that make sense?
Half may not get to go to the convention, which hasn't been held yet.
There was cheating, and lying, and browbeating, and the same kind of crap that some are trying to pull here.
Enough. I won't vote for Romney. Period. Paragraph. Turn the page. Amen.

OK, let's go through this one more time: Romney won the majority of electoral votes in the state's primaries. Please give us SPECIFICS of how the GOP-e forced people to vote for Romney?

Nice try, but you will indeed be helping Obama, whether you acknowledge it or not makes NO difference. I stand by my assertion you are an Obamabot.
_______________________________________________
You are nothing but a selfish, spoiled brat, having a pity party. It is pathetic watching folks like you giving Obama a free pass of sorts. Barry appreciates your help.
So you are politically pure and love to repeat how politically pure a million times.
So what?
Is all that political purity and smug satisfaction going to keep you company at night while Obama continues to destroy this country?
And what makes your political purity so ridiculous is that the president really has very little power over the things you hold dear.
Neither Romney nor Obama were on the US Supreme Court in Roe V. Wade.
What did the Republican Party do to stop abortion from 1994-2006 when they controlled Congress? Diddly squat.
Neither Romney nor Obama can unilaterally take your guns.
When has anybody come around to your house to take your firearms?
You think Romney is going to go after your guns?
Give me a break.
As far as big government goes, you have a point.
I hate big government and believe in federalism.
But I haven’t seen Romney propose massive expansion of the federal welfare state, have you?
“They have a saying about approaching a mule.”

Translation: you can point out no corruption.
Thank you.
I cannot abide that. I will not vote for that.
I don't rant against Romney. I state my position on what I will and will not vote for.
I'm not sure this country needs to survive as a nation. I've never been a fan of federalism.

I love it.
“Not even God can sink the SS Romney”
You can't make me pull a lever (or mash a screen button) for Romney.
Ain't happening.
Do you think that beating up on me is going to change my mind?
Here's the difficult part for you guys... I won't.
Harsh, isn't it. You can't make me. And I won't. I just won't.
Go cry to momma.

Watch the GOP-e ‘guests’ when they start rearranging the deck chairs and singing ‘nearer my God to thee’.
“Romneybot!”
“Obamabot!”
This is going to hell in a hand basket.
Excellently well said, JW.
But you’d rather let others effectively vote on your behalf?
Are you saying no Conservative should vote? If so, Obama is guaranteed to win which I presume would be the goal.
I don’t mean to be a pain in the ass, but this is a fairly binary situation, and the criticism against those whom are participating by those not participating seems a tad disingenuous. If you don’t want Romney to win, then why not vote for Obama? There are FReepers that make a good case for another Obama term — it’s a legitimate argument even though I don’t agree.
I’m not trying to pigeon-hole you into a selection — it’s obvious you’re not providing one. I’m only trying to understand the nature of the criticism levied against those supporting Romney by those planning not to vote, or vote 3rd party.
Let me think. Hmmmm.... I've never voted Democrat in my life, but Obama's so great, perhaps I should go with him. Well, upon reflection, I think I'll stick with the Republican candidate.
You make an excellent point!
The GOP-e also didn't have the power to make individual voters pull the levers for Romney in the primaries.
Great observation!
Sir,
You have a right to vote for whomever you please, but pointing out the holes in your ridiculous arguments is fair game.
If you really believe that four more years of Obama means less abortions, more protection of your firearms, and smaller government, then you can remain in that fantasy world.
That is your right, indeed.
Excellent point, onyx.
Excellent question. I'd like to see an honest attempt at an answer, not a cheap dodge.
I can find other solutions. (Do we really need a federal government today?)
I do not criticize those that are frightened into voting for Romney. Never have.
All I have done is clearly stated that I can't vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, socialized medicine, big government liberal.
