“So you’re saying do not vote period? Let 0bama have it?”
No, I am saying you should vote third party. Obviously, Obama should never be voted for. However, Romney should not receive the vote of a conservative....to do so is to continue to empower the GOP establishment (East Coast Country Club Republicans that could care less about conservatism) to continue to foist “Romeny-like” candidates on us. If you support the GOP Establisment, and vote for Romney, then you will continue to get poor candidates like Romney to represent the GOP. You, if you are conservative, lose.
It isn’t about “letting Obama win.” It is about who is going to control the GOP. Will it continue to be a small group of elitists in smoke filled rooms, or will it be the base?
If we work hard to get conservative House and Senate members elected this fall and again in 2014 (ignoring the POTUS race). We will be in great shape for 2016 when we can get a real conservative candidate running for POTUS via the GOP. IF we support Romney now, we set back conservatism maybe forever.
You may get some temporary satisfaction by removing Obama, but the long term damage Romney will do to conservatism will harm the big picture of the country. No, do not vote for Romney...vote third party.
There is not enough people to make a third party vote even close, so why bother. 0bama gets it either way.
