I had said that I wouldn't vote for Romney in the general election should he become the GOP nominee, but I'm not sure any more. I'm supremely disappointed that Newt didn't do better...he was my first choice; Santorum was my second choice. I just don't think I have it in me to sit out this election and simply give the win to Obama by not voting. This is a decision everybody must make; I think I'm going to end up voting for Romney if he does indeed win the GOP primary. The only thing that might make this decision a little easier to swallow is if he picks a strong VP choice.

We are in the situation that we are in because of attitudes like that. The Republican establishment thumbs their nose in our faces because they say "You don't have anywhere else to go." So they feel confident with putting forward increasingly more liberal candidates without fear of any conservative backlash.

Sure, Romney is more conservative than Obama in most ways, but Harry Truman and John Kennedy are more conservative than Romney. If we keep encouraging the liberal Republican establishment by voting for the establishment choice, then eventually our choice will be between two candidates even more liberal than Obama. At some point this acquiescing to the liberal Republican steamroller has to stop.

The greatest enemies of social conservatives are liberal Republicans. In Roe v. Wade, 7 of the 9 Supreme Court justices were appointed by Republican Presidents. In Lawrence v. Texas, 5 of the 9 justices were appointed by Republican Presidents.

It is scarcely mentioned in the mainstream media, but people with conservative religious beliefs are already being fined, fired, not allowed to graduate from college, and even jailed simply because of their faithfulness to those conservative religious beliefs. Perhaps those willing to always vote for the Republican establishment's choice will not face those problems, because they will probably not have the courage to stand firm for their beliefs. But a good many of us have more reason for concern.

Regardless of the odds, regardless of the outcome, some of us will continue to speak from the public square, from the corners of the crowd, from the recesses of society, from prison. Our voices will echo from the grave.

Voting for Romney is not the answer. It only postpones the inevitable.

This election is about my soul and my soul doesn’t depend on whether Obama is defeated.

I'm not trying to speak out both sides of my mouth, but I agree with your well thought out post. I realize others will NOT vote for Romney...and I completely understand. It makes me sick that we're having to make this decision to vote for a RINO. I'm simply attempting to deal with the possible reality that we might be facing. My first choice was Newt; my second choice was Santorum. Sometimes in life we must choose the lesser of two evils. This (at least for me) is one of those times.

With Romney, at least we have a chance at getting our country back; with Obama, our fate is sealed. Again, I'm preparing myself to deal with the potential “reality.” I hope I'm wrong. Maybe by some chance (miracle) Santorum may win.

So how many more Supreme Court nominees by the kenyan are you hoping for? 3? 4? 5?

Exactly right!

Romney is all about money. He couldn't care less about about the lefts attack on the family, our children, our freedoms, in fact HE created these problems for parents in MA. Schools are teaching 5 year old about protected sex and homosexuality, while academics has fallen drastically. We don't need our schools to fulfill socialist dreams, we need schools to get back to basics and teach RRR. We see a war on religious freedoms. We have abortion up to 9 months in the womb (which was fine with Romney in MA-until he wanted to be president) Hollywood wants all moral restrains thrown off, that is why most of them don't believe in a real God, He would cramp their style. The left wants our kids hearts and minds and we must fight for them. Rick is the ONLY one who is fighting the culture war, everyone else is SCARED to talk about it, it might hurt them. Politically. Sometimes the truth hurts and if the culture continues on the road it's on, God help our kids. Many parents do see this threat and chose the ONLY candidate willing to stand up for us.

FIGHT ON RICK!!!

RICK IS GIVING A GREAT SPEECH!

In the past, Republican Presidents weren’t very good at vetting their judicial nominees. They’ve gotten better in recent years, as Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, and Samuel Alito can prove.
