I generally agree. Both finalists in 2012 were bad. Obama was just the worse of the two.
The problem in 2012 was lack of unity among conservatives.
If either Newt or Santorum had dropped out after SC primary,
Romney’s chances at nomination would be severely diminished.
In 2016 we will face the same problem. Jeb will be the lone Rino after SC primary, and 2 or more conservatives will duke it out to the bitter end, just like 2012, clearing the path for Jeb.
Obama was just the worse of the two.
Yes, that is where you and I differ, I think. I perceive Romney as the worse of the two because if I'd have voted for him and he'd won, I'd have been responsible and accountable for endorsing the tyranny he'd promote under a Republican administration. Voting for leftism in the Republican party makes leftists stronger in both parties. I have finally figured that out.
So from my point of view, the liberal "Republican" will always be the "worse" evil than the Democrat, worse because it manipulates good people to endorse what they rightly abhor. That is very bad. No Democrat could ever get conservative Republicans to intentionally vote for the things they'll vote for in a Card Carrying Republican order to vote "against" the "worse" Democrat.
I did my due diligence on Romney. Voting for him was, quite simply, voting for the Republican party to subscribe to the entire Democrat agenda. SNUB THAT!
