No one is staying home - so your Romney talking point garbage is just that - garbage.

The RESULTS of our actions are obedience to God first and foremost and secondly to the principles that define our worldview. That so many see Romney as “The only cure” makes my point and contention that many such people are committing idolatry - and by default, lofting Romney to messianic and savior status. I want nothing to do with being part of such a zeitgeist, because to me - declaring a liberal politician (or any politician for that matter) as some kind of savior, is blasphemy.

I want NOTHING to do with such people or their lofted political messiah. It’s why I loathed Ron Paul’s mob zombies - and why I hold Romney’s hordes in the same contempt.

The MUST VOTE ROMNEY brigades have essentially declared that Christians and God-fearing principled people who refuse to vote for Romney are harmful and dangerous to the state. So what is the difference between them and the Obama-drones worshipping their messiah again? Nothing. Both camps are engaged in idolatry and blasphemy.

I want NOTHING to do with such a meme and movement and refuse to surrender my Christian and Conservative principles by voting FOR Romney.

The castigation, ridicule, demeaning and otherwise insulting of Christian Conservatives for their allegiance to what is vastly more important to us than anything else in this world - simply solidifies our resolve that we are acting correctly. So go ahead and slam our ‘piety’ - you are simply strengthening our resolve and moving us from individual resolve to activism.

Righteousness is hated, scorned and belittled in the midst of a perverse and wicked generation. That it is illustrated on a forum dedicated to Conservative Christian principles is indeed evidence of how far we’ve fallen as a nation and people.

Seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, THEN, all these things will be added to you. If you people see Romney as the ONLY cure - then I contend you have abandoned God for an idol. And if that statement pisses you off - then good - it means the Spirit is pricking your conscience and there is truth in that statement.

Vote for whomever you want - but apparently that liberty does not extend to the rest of us who are voting for a staunch Conservative for the presidency this year. Elections have consequences it is said. So does putting other things ahead of and before God as a people.

That’s why we have Obama as the president in the first place.

He is a reflection of this people.

It appears you are the only one pissed off. Project much?

I never said you can't vote for whomever you want. Feel free. You can't, however, free yourself from the fact that actions have consequences. And those predictable consequences go far in determining the merit of your action. Since that action, repeated by enough voters in a close election such as this, aids in re-electing Obama, what does that say about the merit of it?

“The only cure” makes my point and contention that many such people are committing idolatry - and by default, lofting Romney to messianic and savior status.

Nice straw man, which you then rant about for half your post. Quite obviously, the next president will be either Romney or Obama. Arguments otherwise are pointless. So, yes, if you want Obama gone, and consider him a disease, then Romney is the 'cure', to complete the analogy.

So, vote for Virgie, vote for Tom Huff and Puff, shoot, vote for Billy Graham if you're looking for a just and right candidate. The rest of us will actually do something that will defeat the enemy that is Obama.
