Sorry, I long ago drew the line against supporting Marxists, socialists, liberals and progressives. Have no intention of pulling back. Those who wish to support the opposition are free to argue their points elsewhere. I will not try to stop them.
The opposition is Obama.
I know you and others recognize this. What I absolutely cannot wrap my brain around is the notion that Obama and Romney are the same. Romney is inarguably the *least* conservative candidate on the Republican side. I do not support him. I will not campaign for him. I will vote for him in the general election if, God forbid, he is the nominee.
The only thing Romney said in the 2008 campaign season that I believed was that he hated the Yankees. That’s it, and that had nothing to do with anything of real importance. Romney’s a used car salesman. That said, I believe at the very least he would be more pro-business than Obama and likely more pro-America when it comes to defense. I can’t know that for a fact and I don’t take him at his word. But like I said earlier, a third party candidate hasn’t won an electoral vote since 1832. It’s one or the other. If it’s 0% (Obama) or whatever percentage Romney might be (and I do *not* believe it’s 0%) then I feel obligated to support the candidate who better represents me.
You and I (and many others here) clearly have differences of opinion on what a vote means. I’ve spent years arguing with Navy officers on differences of opinion and I imagine you have as well. At the end of the day, though, we are on the same side.
