From Wiki: A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent’s position. To “attack a straw man” is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the “straw man”), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.

Nobody here has argued that the GOP will automatically receive conservatives’ votes.

as long as America is still a free country, I will vote in every election. I will vote for Romney, since not voting is not an option for me. I won’t vote for a Marxist, and not voting is a vote for the Marxist.

If you say so. Still, for next time, that’s not a straw man argument.
