The Romney skeptics I know, like me, never had any intention of sitting this one out. We will vote 3rd party or write-in. We want our votes on record.
So far as the reason for voting Romney being that Obama has done so poorly, that is not our issue either. We reject Romney because he's a radical liberal. Even NOW he's pushing Romneycare. In recent weeks he's supported gay couples, gay adoption, gay boy scouts, dissed freedom of speech & religion, promised to manipulate the tax code for revenue enhancements, and shown himself (again) to be pro-choice.
Romney sucks but 0bama sucks a thousand times worse. Going 3rd party or doing a write-in will be exactly as effective as trying to change the tide by shoving the ocean. You’ll feel like you’ve done all you can, but it’ll have no effect.
I can respect your integrity about being unwilling to hold your nose and cast a ‘lesser of two evils’ vote. I’ve been there myself this election cycle. But my goal has shifted away from being ‘pure’ and toward doing the thing that will be most hurtful to 0bama’s chances of reelection. 0bama must be stopped if our country is to survive.
You're in Ohio, a battleground state, and you will throw you vote away to Obama's benefit? For shame, Pontius Pilate voter!
I’m a Romney skeptic; I don’t like him. But I do not believe he poses the dangers to this nation that Obama does. If Satan had a candidate on earth, he would divide his enemies and make them fight against each other.
How do you call Romney a radical liberal (which is what Obama is) when he and Obama differ on so many important issues where the President is actually involved?
Romney believes that financial industry is over-regulated
Romney wants the wind production tax credits to expire.
Romney opposes Cap and Trade;
Romney is pro domestic energy;
Romney wants to appoint USSC justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade
Romney wants to repeal the Dodd-Frank law;
Romney wants no new gun laws.
There’s many more examples - These are all BIG differences between the candidates, which you selectively ignore! Radical Liberal? Oh, please wake up!
If you still put Romney in Obama’s political niche, your objectivity has died.
