I will do everything I can to get the Marxist out of the White House, that includes NOT voting for a 3rd party who has no chance of winning.

Our default position, and the default position of our Founder is that 0bama has to go. The decision to vote for Romney & Ryan does NOT mean that we endorse every single position that Romney has taken in the past, or holds in the present, it means that the policies and fascist rule of 0bama represents a greater threat to the survival of our Nation than the political risk of a Romney Administration.

I have said before, and I will say again: FDR and Churchill never endorsed Joe Stalin's ideology and iron fist over the old Soviet Union in World War II. But at that time we needed Uncle Joe and his troops to attack the GREATER enemy which was Hitler, and if the allies had played this game of ideological purity, refusing to send lend-lease to the Russians, the Swastika might have ended up waving from London to Vladivostok, and that would be a REAL ugly world.

The same principle applies here, i.e., we vote for Romney & Ryan to get rid of 0bama, and should we later be faced with policies from a President Romney that we cannot accept and will not condone, we will oppose him as adamantly as did the West oppose Stalin as the Cold War began in '46.

The battle today is to get that filthy Communist out of the White House. The battle tomorrow will be determined by what 0bama's conqueror does effective 20 January, 2013.

I agree. I took the same stance with Bush. I recall, in fact, posting here in FR the former Republican President's statement, which I hold as true today as I did during the Bush presidency:

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

"Republican President Theodore Roosevelt (Kansas City Star", 149; May 7, 1918)

The same principle applies here, i.e., we vote for Romney & Ryan to get rid of 0bama, and should we later be faced with policies from a President Romney that we cannot accept and will not condone, we will oppose him as adamantly as did the West oppose Stalin as the Cold War began in '46.

I absolutely agree. What we need to focus on this election, the next, and the ones forever after: electing Constitutional Conservatives to local office, and state and federal elections. Each of us has to be in earnest prayer that God will bring us into meaningful and respectful dialogue with our co-workers, acquaintances, family, friends, church members, teachers, for frank discussions first, about those things we can all agree as goals for our children and their futures, and approaches of how to get there. Meeting in a middle area, they will be more prone to listen to ideas different from their own. Maybe not that day, or the next time you speak, but maybe by the next election, something will sink in and they'll see a meaningful difference as to why the liberal way is inferior to the Constitutional way.
