Invar, I salute you for your views. I do want to toss out some things here that are important too.
Although I do not think Obama or Romney are fit to lead this nation, I do think Christianity and the sanctity of our nation are bettered (at this point) by a Romney term vs an Obama term.
Can I vote for Romney? No. Am I going to try to encourage others not to vote for him, or take a pass on trashing Obama so Romney won’t do better at the polls? Oh, no way.
I AM NOT here to move folks away from Romney. I have my bedrock beliefs, but the nation will be helped by those who actually do vote for Romney.
I just happen not to want any of his vile actions to come, to be on my hands.
This is a very fine line here, I’ll admit. I’m in effect supporting Romney, but refusing to actually vote for him myself.
There are folks out there that are going to vote for someone no matter what, and I want them to cast their vote for Romney if they have to vote for one of these men.
You won’t find me giving anyone grief, because they plan on voting for Romney.
When it comes to Obama, you really have to be a vacuous pod person to vote for him. I mean, there is so much out there. The guy has a record this time, and that record is one of temporary fiscal and international ruin. There is no case whatsoever for backing a man that has caused this much harm.
Some folks will say women must vote for him because of x and x. Women are financially much worse off under Obama. If someone is aware at all, and they actually care for women, they will vote for Romney. The same for Blacks, Hispanics, and the rest of the nation. The same is true for the global community as well.
This guy HAS GOT TO GO.
You and I are of a very similar arrival in mindset. I’m a bit more militant than you are - thanks in large measure to the rabid Romney supporters that moved me from mere admission of my own intents, to activism among those I serve.
Part of me would like to think Romney buys us a little more time - and given my ministry- I WANT more time to do the work while there is still daylight - because there is coming a time when none will be able to work.
But like you - I cannot betray my faith or principles in casting a vote for a man whose record is antithetical to them.
Obama is an American-Hating Marxist, no doubt - but to me - this is honestly no different than if the choice were between Obama and Hillary Clinton, and I can hear the same screams “But at least she doesn’t HATE the country!”.
Sorry - I can’t do it. I see Romney in the same light.
