We must vote for Romney no matter what his record, because his opponent is much, much worse.
Ooops, wrong thread;
Some conservatives wanted a scorched earth policy, Obama would take the country down, the nation would learn its lesson and true conservatism would rise from the ashes. I think that is a very dangerous gamble, it is better to vote for someone who is not as bad while working on changing the party from the ground up. At least voting for a *moderate* Republican would buy some time while the grass roots gets its act together.
Dumb voters are not any smarter when they are under dire circumstances. People panic and grab onto anything—remember how Hitler came to power after the Weimar Republic’s economic colapse.
