I’m not pushing for Romney. I really don’t care for him much. I won’t be voting for him, so much as I’m terrified of a second, lame-duck term for Obama. If Obama is re-elected we’re done. We are already crossing the threshold of 51% voting themselves the largess of the public treasury. It may already be too late. But if we have another Obama term, I seriously think we won’t be able to recover.

I think that’s something worth considering.

It is worth considering. But a vote based on fear is a recipe for disaster. If we are so far gone as a country that we ‘have’ to elect a rabid liberal or a rabid marxist, I would suggest that America, as in the America you and I knew and loved, is already over.

My America, If I am honest, died a long time ago. Is what remains, the country we live in today going to be returned to constitutional governance by electing a man who refuses to follow it or the other man who refuses to follow it?

It’s time to stop ‘hoping for change’ and accept the fact that we will only change it for the better if we stop lending our vote, and thus the power, to the people who do NOT want to change it.

It’s going to hurt, it’s going to suck. But you do not get positive results when you run the same flawed experiment 100 times. And Ben Franklin addressed the ‘security’ of ‘buying time’ issue 200+ years ago.
