Santorum is right. If Obama’s liberalism sends us to the brink, then the blame can be placed at the feet of the democrats. But if Romney’s knee jerk liberalism takes us to the same place, the blame will fall on the Republicans and we can expect that the MSM will then blame it all on Conservatives and the sheeple will believe it.
In that sense another 4 years of Obama would be better than 4 years of Romney followed by 16 years of some Democrat Obama clones.
If the Etch-a-sketch candidate gets the nomination. I’m voting 3rd party.
I've been thinking about this, P-M, and I think you are right, although I have one caveat.
The objective for me must be to try to win.
It is good to cast a principled vote, or even a protest vote, against the 2 liberal parties, but how much better to begin to build a legitimate, conservative alternative or to put energy into the strengthening of a 3rd party that already has made progress in creating a viable conservative party?
For me it depends on what kind of campaign Romney runs. If he runs as a lefty or moderate then yeah I won’t vote for him. But if he runs as a conservative then he may be able to drag me out to vote for him.
The problem with him is no one knows what he truly believes. if he gets the nominee I think we’ll have a good clue if he was lying this time or not.
