Those holding their noses and refusing to vote for Romney are ignoring that Obama's administration is actively dangerous to the rule of law, Federalist principles and democracy itself. Obama has already proved that he is a "stop me if you can" bully and proto-dictator. Romney has governed to the left of many democrats, but he is not nearly as dangerous as Obama is.

If Obama wins re-election, there is a good chance that he will appoint replacements for Kennedy (76) and Scalia (76). If so, say goodbye to McDonald and Heller, as the libs will fast-track cases to strangle the 2nd Amendment, stare decisis be damned. Also get ready for a legal challenge to the 22nd Amendment, which could very well be ruled unconstitutional by Ginsberg, Sotomayor, Kagan, Breyer and the newbie libs. What's that you say? A constitutional amendment ratified by the states can't be overturned by the USSC? Who's to stop them? The USSC just gave us the Obamacare ruling (with a 5-4 conservative majority) and Obama just gave partial amnesty to up to 1 million illegals, attacked Libya in contravention of the War Powers Act (which is federal law, despite the bad-mouthing every president has given it), and declared executive privilege in a non-germane case. Obama would have nothing to lose in trying to set himself up for additional terms in office. At that point, the Obamamugabe nickname would take on horrible relevance.

Add to this the fact that Obamacare would be fully implemented without Romney in office to at least partially gut it, 4 more years of liberal Obama appointments up and down the judicial system (as opposed to at least 50/50 under Romney), deficit spending on overdrive, destruction of our energy policy, regulations that will strangle business, full steam-ahead implementation of Agenda 21, etc. etc. etc.

Most of us have disliked Romney, or worse, for many years. But he's not actively dangerous to our country as Obama is, and he would probably govern the executive branch more conservatively than he governed in Massachusetts. Those of you who are saying that it is best to "let the country fall apart and start over again" have no idea what you're advocating.

I wanted DeMint/Ryan as the ticket, so I'm not happy with Romney. But I would much rather have Romney in place with a Republican House and Senate. That combination would do far less harm than Obama would, whether or not he has Dems in control of either chamber.

I'm actually considering volunteering for Romney. Never thought I would reach that point, but it's not even a debate in my mind when you imagine Obama having four more years.
