It’s not a theory. It’s a fact. And the results are a fact as well. You show me how anyone ‘wins’ through compromise and I’ll vote Romney. You show me how a conservative votes liberal without abandoning his beliefs to do so and I’ll vote Romney.
You show me how a person of faith votes for a hardcore abortion supporter/enabler and looks God in the eye saying “All those dead babies I empowered the Govt to send you cannot be held against me” and I’ll vote Romney.
Show me logically how empowering a liberal with Romney’s record is better than Tom or any other conservative running and I’ll vote Romney.
Until someone does, the problem is not me and those who share my beliefs. It’s the situational ethicists among the Republican and conservative movements that are and always will be the problem.
And the facts, AKA world history, bear that out.
The thing about Romney is he is a political mercenary, a fact we can use to our advantage. When in MA, he did as the massholes do (to a certain degree, people from outside MA can't realize how powerless the governor is). If we can get conservative majorities in both houses, and keep the tea party going strong, we can exert a large influence on Romney's policies.
"You show me how a person of faith votes for a hardcore abortion supporter/enabler and looks God in the eye saying “All those dead babies I empowered the Govt to send you cannot be held against me” and I’ll vote Romney."
I wouldn't say Romney is a hardcore abortion supporter -- at this point, he wouldn't dare enable abortion because he's looking to a second term already. Again, conservative majorities in both houses will have an enormously positive effect on the situation. Additionally, what might God say when you tell Him you enabled a confirmed, unrepentant abortionist who is stilling pushing for more abortions, by letting him take another term? I think you need to weigh all the factors and determine which action will cause the least harm. Unfortunately, voting for Tom will ultimately help Obama.

Tom can run himself into the ground and the majority of Americans will never hear of him. Where Santorum, Gingrich and Perry failed, why would Tom with a fraction of the support, money, and logistics do better?
