*** If we lose and BHO gets his second term, we may not see any future elections. ***

How can that be? I’m told over and over again here at FR that a second Obama term is far preferable to electing Romney.

The die is cast, Romney vs. Obama. With so many staying home, guess it will be Obama.

That’s better, right?

As if the Communist-In-Chief hadn’t already done enough, it would seem that his latest “open-mike gaffe” regarding missile defense and his race-pimping of the Trayvon Martin case would make folks re-think that position. Jeez...will anything this destructive Marxist idiot does trump their hatred of Romney? And no, I’m not a “Romney-bot” for anyone wanting to post that foolishness.

I assume that is sarcasm since of course it would not be better.

But I agree with you that any vote not going to a GOP candidate is a vote that was never cast against BHO, so therefore those staying home and refusing to vote in effect are allowing BHO to be reelected. Just like they allowed him to ascend to his throne in 2008 by refusing to vote for McCain.

Makes not one whit of sense to me. If Romney ultimately becomes the GOP candidate (which I pray he does not), I will hold my nose and vote for him, just like I did McCain.

Why would I do that? Yes, I am well aware that Romney is a RINO, but I would rather have a RINO that can be controlled by the GOP (even if we only keep the House), than have a full-blown, unapologetic 100% Marxist remain in office so that he can finish what he started.

McCain was not my preferred candidate in 2008. Romney is by no means my preferred candidate this go-round. But there is no such thing as the "perfect" conservative candidate because we all have faults, so it makes no sense to pull the "principles" card and just pout at home on election day.

My point is to at least put someone in office with an (R) next to their name that We the People can keep reined in. We apparently can't rein in BHO.

Seems to me, if I recall, that people staying home instead of voting for McCain was what helped put Barack Hussein Obama (mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm) in the White House in the first place. So these same people want a reprise because Romney looks like our nominee? He’s not my first choice, either. He wasn’t even my second, third, or fourth choice. But make no mistake, if Romney is the Republican nominee, I *WILL* vote for him over Barack Obama. I would vote for my cat over Barack Obama. I would even vote for the Diet Coke I’m drinking over Barack Obama. A lot of folks were of the mind that if we punish the Republicans and put Democrats in office, they will see how disastrous it is having Democrats in charge and put them out. How has that worked out for us, considering all of the fires we’re having to try to put out now at the hands of the pyromaniacs in the mis-Administration and the Senate — and also in the House, up until January 2011? I can’t imagine the horror of four more years of this.
