“I won’t hold my nose and vote for Romney” with attitudes like yours the outcome is assured. You are one of the problems with the Republican party. I don’t see Romney as a saviour but at least he’s not Obama. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

She ain’t alone, we saw that in our election. We are not Dems who vote whichever way the Party demands. She represents a large portion of the Conservative movement who believe Romney is no different than Ohbummer.

Rather than blaming her, look at why this is happening.

No, YOU are the problem with the Republican party. By voting for Romney, you’re saying it’s okay if the party changes into a home for liberal politicians who are dirty, immoral, dishonest campaigners. I applaud those people who are willing to stand up for the integrity of the party and not turn it into Democrat lite. 8 years of Romney would do more damage to the Republican party and to the country than 4 more years of Obama.

Blaming the voter for the party's shortcomings is not a good strategy for making a strong party.

-- I don't see Romney as a saviour but at least he's not Obama. --

What has Obama done that affects your life in a seriously negative way? Congress is the source of all the laws; and most people are only moderately affected by even the most inane federal legislation. The financial collapse and oppressive taxes are coming regardless of which party continues the "big federal government" Social Security, Medicare and other safety nets. Demographics is destiny.

-- Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. --

I don't see the political system as "my nose," and neither is the GOP. They aren't even a wild hair on my butt (which wild hair I would not miss if it fell off). The party is just not that important, and won;t be until it picks up the challenge of making meaningful change.

Not to mention, Obama is largely neutered thanks to the gridlock from Congress after 2010. We should ALL definitely show up to vote for Republicans in Congress. Obamacare is going to be such a disaster once it’s fully implemented that I don’t believe it would survive his second term and could definitely be repealed afterwards. If Romney gets in, it’s already been proven that he has no intention of repealing Obamacare. And the problem is, Romneycare 2.0 and all his other liberal policies will be supported by enough Republicans and Democrats alike to get them all passed. So gridlock is FAR AND AWAY the more appealing option compared to full Republican control with Romney at the helm.

Another risk with Romney is that his liberal policies will hurt the country so much, that we’ll destroy our brand within 4 years, and Obama will simply run again and serve his 2nd term in 2016 and sweep in a full Democrat majority in both houses along with him to implement the worst of his agenda. I’d rather see Obama suffer through a weakened, gridlocked second term than see him come back later during a full Democrat sweep.

Romney would still lose in November. Why give him a narrow loss that will only encourage him to try again in 2016?

I say we gave him a well-deserved whopping major loss.

What was it that Reagan said? I didn’t leave the republican party ... the republican party left me.

They don’t need me. or you. or anyone. They can fight this battle with their marvelous ideas ... like ... um ... what are their ideas again? Oh yeah, they don’t have any. Beat Obama - go team!

So says you. I disagree. Romney is a pandering fraud and a disaster for the Republican Party. He shares many of the same views that make Obama so distasteful to me: support for the individual mandate, believes in the welfare state, engages in class warfare, appoints liberal judges, proponent of minimum wage, supports gay marriage, etc. I would never vote for Romney or Obama for any office. NEVER!
