That’s a false dichotomy, and you know it. I will have more choices than that.
I detest Obama but Romney is not a conservative solution. Given the two, Romney isn’t a Communist, but that’s not enough to make me vote for him.
If they were the last two candidates on earth, of course I’d vote to remove Obama. Thankfully, they aren’t the last two candidates on earth, so I’ll find a conservative for President and vote straight conservative all over my ballot.
I answered your question, so now please do me the favor of answering this one: how will Romney’s election advance the cause of this website, which is grass-roots conservatism?
Used to be that. Sore Loserman, "Get Out Of Cheney's House!!", Swift Boaters, Rathergate.
Now it's mostly just keyboard warriors fighting a neverending round of Electronic Circular Firing Squad.
I bet there are DU regulars reading this thread and laughing their asses off.
Possibly it’s a false dichotomy, but it’s quite likely it’s not.
The “only” grassroots conservative I can see who would have a fighting chance is Sarah Palin. The presidency is in her hand, if she wants it. She has said she does not, for whatever reason. “Alternates” like the loon Ron Paul will do nothing but ensure that the US is a goner.
Now, feel free to debate how “conservative or not” Romney really is. I saw, recently, someone pointing out that part of Romney’s record as a moderate was something he couldn’t do much about: he kept vetoing liberal bills, and his own administration kept overturning his vetoes. And that his efforts although unsuccessful speaks quite loudly on what is in the package. I think the whole thing was here, and in other comments by Jeff.
