Fine, all you people should meet somewhere and pat each other on the back for your excellence and purity.

There is no imaginery third party candidate you could find who would satisfy you.

I don’t have the words to express my contempt for you and your ilk and, yes, I will blame you all if Obama is elected again.

Go ahead we are used to it, from the socialist pukes in the DOPe leadership.

Allow me to repeat: Romney is the author of the $50 abortion, the gay marriage license, and the imposition of government-forced healthcare.

Why the heck would a conservative vote for THAT??? He is NOT a conservative. So, it’s not a matter of purity. It’s a matter of identity. Obama isn’t a very pure conservative, either.

This isn’t about purity; this is about principle. Part of politics involves compromise, which is why I’ve said over and over again that I’d vote for Santorum or Gingrich. Paul never really had a chance, so the question doesn’t apply to him.

But part of compromise is having enough -principle- to know compromise becomes caving. And you know what? There are certain things that aren’t worth compromising over, like supporting an open socialist. These are the sort of distinctions that party-line Republicans are incapable of making. They’ve pulled the GOP lever all their lives, and they just can’t imagine doing otherwise.

If you want to blame someone for Obama’s re-election, blame the establishment for backing a far-left radical who has sharply divided the GOP and destroyed voter enthusiasm nationwide. Turnout is abysmal and Willard looks even worse in the polls than John McCain did.

The Republican base has basically already given up. It’s like 2008 but twice as bad. That’s what will re-elect Barack Obama, not people like me. If you want to vote for the person responsible for that, be my guest.
