Vote for the strongest conservative third party candidate available Another vote that helps Obama ... but at least you'll feel good about yourself that you stood on principle.
Don't you see? Your conservative principles conflict and you are forced to choose which one to sacrifice. On the one hand, a vote for Romney -- who is certainly not a conservative Republican (and I agree with you!) -- does not comport with conservative ideals and the GOP needs to know that's not acceptable. On the other hand, a vote that effectively (if not efficiently) supports Obama's re-election is not a conservative position to hold either. It comes down to deciding which action you'll take is better for America and the Constitution, my friend.

No, not at all. I am voting for conservatism. I am not voting for one of two candidates who will do damage to conservatism.
Hey, lots of us have been saying this since 2007 at least. I supported McCain in 2008 and what I got for my efforts was a piss-poor campaign where Obama was allowed to tout his semi-socialist ideology to his heart's content with nary a peep from McCain who did absolutely nothing to advance the cause from the top of the ticket.
I am done voting for liberals masquerading as conservatives. Got it? DONE! If you want my vote, run a conservative.

(In states where Newt is ahead, vote Newt. In states where Rick is ahead, vote Rick. Defeat Romney.)
