I beg to disagree with you. We will NOT survive another 4 years of obama in office. We must get rid of this regime and hold Mitt’s feet to the fire if elected.

Deep down, I think Mitt wants to be a good president and he isn’t so stupid as to know that his policies will be in the history books. However, one cannot say that about the current occupant of the WH. He’s truly ignorant of economics. His positions are far more harmful to America, than Mitts.

Mitt needs an ephiphany - a come to Jesus moment on this issue.

Presumably, you think we couldn't survive another four years of Obama in office because you think Republicans in Congress wouldn't hold his feet to the fire ... but you think they would if it was Romney?

I don't know how much you've read of or listened to Romney's words or how much you've looked into his record. I think deep down, Romney is a base political animal in ruthless pursuit of control. He is amoral -- lacking reference to morality -- which in its way is more dangerous than being immoral, or "contrary to moral principles."

Promoting the presence of homosexuals around youth is grossly immoral, to the interests of vulnerable young people as well as to society as a whole. Romney has actively promoted such a presence and continues to do so. Why is that? Is it because he thinks it's immoral to "discriminate against" declared homosexuals by, in his view, allowing government to let free people reject the presence of open homosexuals in their lives? That NOT to create government powers to punish those who reject open homosexuals, would be immoral on his part as an American "leader"? Or is it because he is amoral and wants a block of votes and special interests?

Now, before you start spinning that into proof that "he can be persuaded to go to whatever side has the most of offer," please also recall where AMORALITY inevitably leads.

Obama is dangerous and scary and a wild card. He is a fraud, he is bleeding support, and for all his opaqueness, is pretty transparent. Americans are sick of him as much as you are terrified of him.

But I didn't vote for Obama, and neither will a lot more folks this time around.

Romney is only a fraud in terms of "Republican" and "conservative." Other than that, he is the real deal -- look how he got the nomination, which has come as no surprise to those of us who've been watching him since 2007. He plays political hardball, he manipulates, he deceives, he distorts, and he misleads with deliberation, as if he thinks its perfecly moral to do those things in pursuit of success. He has a lifelong record of wholly embracing liberal agendas. Now, you can endorse that with your vote in the hopes the results wouldn't be as bad as four more years of Obama, but I'll pass having a say in preferring either one. I'm voting to weaken whichever one wins.

Voting for liberals is bad business. It guarantees a bad outcome. Once entrenched, Romney would make you forget all about Obama, and think only, "Why did I vote for this monster?"

The better gamble is to vote to ensure a plurality for whichever bad liberal wins, because a Republican Congress will have an easier time "holding his feet to the fire" if the next president, Obama or Romney, has only squeaked in on a plurality.
