Obviously it doesn’t.
Now a question for you. If you vote for other in that situation, who decides who the next Attorney General, head of DHS, Defense Department, Regulatory Czar, HHS Secretary, Communications Czar, next Supreme Court Justices, etc.... will be?
Will our Justice Department continue to fight against any state that protects its own citizens? Will crimes be prosecuted without regard to a person’s skin color?
There is SO MUCH at stake here.
I don’t like Romney. At all. And I understand where a lot of people are coming from on this. For me the question comes down to this: If I had the chance to keep Hitler from carrying out the Holocaust, by voting for a disgusting but less potently-evil candidate, would I instead vote for somebody “pure” who will never win?
Everybody has to answer that for him/herself, but I for one would have a very tough time hearing the screams from the torture chambers, knowing I could have prevented them but chose not to.
First numerically honest and straightforward answer to my posted question, anywhere on this site! I'd reach through the monitor and kiss you, were it only possible! ;)

One of two equally loathsome choices... neither one of whom I will have voted for.
I'm not a Republican; I'm a conservative. The Republican party never, ever gets to simply take my vote for granted -- they have to earn it, each and every time out, by running candidates whose views on the issues (as demonstrated by their previous track records, while in public office) reasonably align with my own... and I'm the only person on the face of the planet capable of judging whether or not they have, in fact, genuinely done so to my own satisfaction.
They didn't. I won't.
They can try a little harder next time out, if my vote is so supremely important to them (as I keep hearing, hereabouts).
