“More likely to vote 3rd party.”
I don’t understand your need to punish our whole country by aiding in electing a President Hitlery.

Unless I am mistaken, flaglady47 is a longtime Romney apologist on FR.
Republicans who are willing to elect a functional Democrat under the "Republican" banner rather than risk the opportunity one can predict on the consequences of a 3rd party split no matter which way it goes, a long as it resulted in a plurality victor:
I don't understand your need to punish our whole country by voting for bigger, more intrusive government.
J. Random FR pointed out somewhere back that, basically, if you vote for liberals, you're a liberal. It got me to making a hard admission: when I voted for Meg Whitman, a clone of Romney, I was voting with Republican intentions, but functionally, I was voting Democrat. I was a functional liberal. I was the same when I voted for McCain, and for Arnold Scwarzenegger. Intentions and functions were diametrically opposite.
Functional is what counts.
And I don’t understand the GOPe’s desire to saddle this country with a DEM-lite candidate. When such candidates are run in my state, when the best that is offered is “me too” candidates, then it is a forgone conclusion that they will not win.
Since my vote would then be wasted, I use my vote to benefit the cause of conservatives (not GOPe). Thus, I vote third party which by the laws of my state, help with future elections.
