This is a repost of ken5050's post, it's post #932.

I find that I must take exception with one very important aspect of your comments.

I am no fan of Mitt. There are several others who I would prefer to see as the GOP nominee.

No one is questioning your right to allocate FR's resources as you see fit. It is YOUR website. And I am in 100% agreement with your statement that we must work even harder to elect TRUE conservatives at all levels..local, state, as well as to Congress. Freepers should donate DIRECTLY whatever they choose to candidates they believe, and can support, and NOT to any campaign committees.

However, I must question your decision NOT to vote for Romney under any circumstances. I myself will hold my nose and vote for him. I would remind you of the following:

1. The next president may will get to nominate anywheres from 1-3 justices to the Supreme Court.

2. I am in Florida. There is no way on God's green earth that Obama can win the election without Florida. As his poll numbers have sunk, Dems are now,( probably to delude themselves) starting to float the idea that Obama has "alternate paths" to an Electoral College majority. This is lunacy. The idea that Obama could lose Florida, yet somehow win, say, North Carolina, and Indiana is at best, a 1000:l shot.

3. I would remind you of the 2000 election results.

Assume, hypothetically that you had been as vehemently opposed to Bush as you are to Romney.

If just 25% of Florida's 2000+ Freepers had taken your advice and NOT voted for Bush, then Al Gore would be president, and then, truly, God help these United States.

I would respectfully suggest that you re-examine and rethink your position in this regard.

Another 4 years of Obama in the WH, even with Republican control of both the House and Senate, will do irreperable harm to the country we both love. That is a given, an absolute. As bad as he has been to date, after November, when he won't have to be concerned with being re-elected, he will do far, far, worse. Heck, he told it to the Russians in the last "open-mike" episode.

You can't compare this to what you fear Romney "might" do if he is elected. There is no option, except to vote for Romney, albeit very grudgingly, and with many reservations.

There are no mights about it. He has a record of appointing liberal pro-gay justices. We have zero reason to believe he would do any different as president. It not fear of the unknown in this case but a fear of the known. The leopard is hiding behind an elephant, but the spots are the same old spots.
