Risk is the price you pay for opportunity. There's zero risk with Romney -- it's 100% certain that he'd make liberalism more powerful. Zero risk, zero opportunity. I'm risking a plurality and leaving whether Obama or Romney wins up to those willing to vote for their particular brand of liberalism. Either way, a liberal statist will have the White House, and the last time a liberal statist was elected president by a plurality, he was pushed right by the Republican Revolution and then impeached. Facts guide my choice here; hysteria and fear guide the choice of ABOers.
Romney disagreed, and vetoed the legislature's bill. The measure then went back to the legislature, and every single state senator voted against Romney, except one: then-state Sen. Scott Brown, now a Republican U.S. senator running for reelection. The commission, now independent, still exists.
There's zero risk that Obama will cease his Marxist destruction of our country if re-elected. He must be defeated, and if Romney is the only tool we have to get the job done, so be it.
