Marcus Tullius Cicero: A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

This quote could be just as easily be used to support Obama. I would rather have the open socialism of Obama than the camouflaged socialism of Romney. At least that way, there is no question who the enemy is. A Republican Congress might fight Obama but a Republican Congress won't fight Romney, nor would a Democrat Congress because Romney will give them everything they want.

My conscience is never for sale but if it was, I wouldn't give it up to vote for a 90% liberal to oust a 100% liberal. Some conservatives need to consider how cheaply they are selling out their principles.

Great post.. you present a good argument. I just can’t bring myself to the point of not doing something about the situation we are in. My reaction is action, and the only action I can take is to vote for the only other choice. You know CommerceComet, you do make an awful lot of sense, as we probably can all agree. It’s just that our only way of fighting back is with this fantasy we’ve been led to believe in.. the vote.

Among the wise this is true. But a lot of folks just can't make themselves believe Obama is really the enemy he is.
