I am a principled conservative. I don’t like Romney as the candidate.
However, I am not stupid and I realize the unprecedented danger of an Obama 2nd term. My vote in such a case would definitely NOT be one of “convenience.” I would be working against Obama IF I did so (am still waiting to see what happens at the convention).
I will vote firmly based upon my principles and resent being told that those principles are not conservative if I vote for the non-Obama candidate..
At this point, I believe with my whole heart that a 3rd party does nothing but ensure an Obama victory....and I believe that history supports my opinion. It would seem that we disagree.
No problem. I just can’t support Romney. In my mind he is the worst kind of politician in that he has no core principles. I can’t in good conscience support someone whose record is pro-abortion, pro-global warming, pro-socialized healthcare, pro-gun control, etc. Frankly, I’m completely disgusted every time I see him.
I’m with Newt until the end...if he isn’t on the ticket, its 3rd party for me.
If someone’s words and actions don’t line up, I always believe the actions. It’s just common sense.
