Because Romney is a socialist (and a statist), just as Obama is, a vote for Romney is a vote for socialism. In fact, I believe it would have been much worse had Romney won.
Why? Because the GOP would have read that as a signal to go balls-to-the-wall Socialist; if "the opposition party" has given so little struggle against their 'opposition' how much would they give when "their man" was inside? -- Romney and the rest may have eased some of the more overt government overreaches (he's a Fabian, after all) but they would certainly fortify and set precedent for what's going on now. (As it is they're forced to put up at least some token resistance to keep the Kabuki-theater going.)
The Gelding Old Party moves further left every 4 years, and they get less votes each time. Somehow it’s always the Conservative’s fault they lose. It’s akin to the ‘Rats blaming Bush for all their problems.
