On the other hand, if Romney wins, particularly if he wins with a landslide and is boosted by what would quickly be characterized as a "popular mandate" rather than the embarrassing referendum against Obama it would actually be, conservatives in Congress would be outnumbered and outvoted by a coalition of moderate Republicans, Romney, and Democrats, who would embrace Romney's "progressive" brand of embracing global warming regulation, advancing of the homosexual agenda in everything from the military to adoption (meaning folks would be force to accommodate homosexuals and be punished if they declined, activist judges, tax-funded abortion on demand, and state-run health insurance. LOOK AT ROMNEY'S RECORD.
Do the math, please. Romney in the White House, supplemented by moderate Republicans and Democrats, would OUTWEIGH conservative opposition.
On the otherhand, conservatives in Congress would be backed by Republicans if Romney lost because those moderates would know they're next unless they dump the progressive schtick and move right.
The price of voting "against" Obama is that you must vote FOR installing a "progressive" like Romney as the defacto head of the Republican party. That price is too steep -- see my tagline.
The price of voting third-party is that you forfeit any influence over whether the D or the R statist gets the White House (a third party vote favors neither, protests by the math-challenged to the contrary), but the third party vote WILL weaken the mandate of whichever statist wins. EVERY SINGLE THIRD PARTY VOTE, from disillusioned Democrats, from Independents, from Environmentalist Wacko Pinheads, from angry Libertarians, and from had-it-with-the-charade conservatives, will serve to weaken the popular mandate of the next president. Seeing as how the next president is guaranteed to be a promoter of government tyranny, the weaker his popular mandate, the better.
I'm voting for that. You can go ahead and vote "against" Obama by voting for government tyranny, but do it with your eyes open, please.
If you think Obama is going to listen to any “mandate” then you obviously haven’t been paying attention. Obama does not care. Let’s think about this. HE DOES NOT CARE. He will have 4 years with no re-election bid. He will maybe fill 2 Supreme Court positions. The guy will purposely destruct this country with or without congress.
