Those of us who are biting the bullet and voting for Romney are TAKING ACTION to hopefully rid our nation of the worst president in American history. Sorry, but voting third party or sitting home on election night is beyond stupid. Either of these two choices will be effectively helping Obama win his reelection.

The reality is, our fellow citizens across the country voted for Romney...this is simply a fact. This being the case, we have two choices: Obama or Romney. Romney was my least favorite GOP candidate, but since he's the nominee, i will vote for him. What are you doing? voting third party? Maybe opting not to vote altogether? Yeah, that'll show 'em! you go boy! It's because we are thinking for ourselves and using our God given reasoning skills that many of us here will be voting for Romney. My guy was Newt or Santorum, but they are no longer in the race. Instead of having a little hissy fit like you're doing, we've decided that Obama has to go. The only way he's going to go is if we vote for Romney. And sorry, but I simply DO NOT buy this crap that Romney and Obama are exactly the same. At least Mitt doesn't hate the country and understands business! Obama is engaged in an all out assault on our country. This fact makes your gutless decision to vote third party or sit this one out utterly despicable! If Obama wins, you and others who decided that your self-serving hissy fit was more important that voting for the GOP nominee will hold some responsibility for obamas win, and the destruction of our nation. End of story .

Rove has been inhaling the Big Government Republican Establishment incense so long that he has completely flipped out. What little credibility he has left (and it’s not much) is quickly vanishing.

Voting for Romney in November will be like voting for Santa Claus - you know there is no Santa Claus, and you’re voting for some guy wearing a Santa Claus suit.

It is not “gutless” to refuse to vote for your man Romney. It is the only honorable course left to those of us who love this country.

If Romney wins, you will live to regret your campaigning for him. He will be worse than Obama because he will support Obama-like policies and recruit RINOS in the Congress to assist him. He will be a bipartisan Obama.

But, go ahead, campaign for your man.

Romney is Rove’s man. Good luck with that, now that Bush is elected, I’m fallin’ asleep, Karl.

Hope you enjoy four more years of obama and the final destruction of our country. At least we have a chance with Romney. If Obama wins another reelection, do you really think 2016 will matter? Sorry, but we'll be finished.

Nice try, but Romney isn't our man...he's the GOP nominee. Romney sucks, but he isn't a Marxist and doesn't hate the country. The only meaningful choice against Obama on the GOP side is Romney. I wish this were not the case, but it is our reality! Voting for the third party is a vote frittered away.

At least many of us are choosing to deal with reality, and make decisions based off of this. We don't have time for platitudes!

It will be a shame if a few hard core anti-Romney voters stay home and end up giving us 4 more years of Obama.

What makes you think Obama would stop at just 4 more years? If the Democrats don't mind bending the "natural born citizen" constitutional requirement, why not ignore the 22nd amendment too?

I see. You’re campaigning for Romney, encouraging people to vote for him, but he’s not your man?

You should have the guts to stand up for what you stand up for.

Oh.... I get it. It is all our fault.

This is the second excrement sandwich I will have had to eat in four years.

I did vote for McCain even as I knew the Messiah was going to beat him. I will also vote for Willard, but I have my doubts he can beat the Commie.

I must agree with one thing, if Obammy is re elected, then this nation will not survive. We will become a Zimbabwe type nation without the exotic jungle.

What will YOU do if he doesn’t stop at a second term?

For that matter what will you do if BHO beats Romney? What will you do if Romney wins and continues the socialist agenda...say socialised medicine, increased government, attacks on the traditional family and the Constitution?

I know what I will do.

OK, one more time; I'll try and explain this so even you can understand it:

We just went through our primary process (you know, that's where we vote for our favorite GOP candidate, where the winner goes on to the general election), and Romney, by virtue of the majority of Americans voting for him, clinched the GOP nomination for POTUS. Ok, still with me? Good.

My first choice was Palin, but she decided not to run. I then became a die-hard Cain supporter, but he decided to drop out. I then became an equally die-hard Newt supporter, but sadly things have not been looking good for him, and just recently decided to drop out. This has left us with Mitt Romney as the GOP candidate. Sometimes our guy (or gal) doesn't win...period. Instead of having a tantrum, many of us decided that in order to remove the Marxist who currently occupies the Oval Office, we would need to vote for Romney. Check the posting history of those of us who've opted to vote for Romney. I'm confident you'll find most of us had a progression in favorites similar to mine.

We're choosing to be adults here and make the most of a difficult situation. I'm taking the advice of Palin, Limbaugh, and Levin: “ABO!”

I'm actually a little embarrassed I took any time to answer your silly question. I know you understand perfectly what's going on here.

You’re right about one thing - I do understand what is going on here. You are campaigning for Romney here, encouraging others to vote for him.

If he wins, you will celebrate and later you will regret that you campaigned here for him. That’s what’s going on here.

Hate to burst your bubble, but not everybody is following your lead to engage in utter stupidity by: 1) sitting this election out, 2) voting third party, or 3) writing somebody in when we have a Marxist with a track record of destruction as our current president!

What you said.
Somebody refresh my memory. What are the names of the represenatives in the house that are members of the Constitution party?
Their members in the Senate?
And the Constitution party is going to put together a national campaign and beat the two entrenched parties?

"Well there you go. Third Parties are always hugely successful! /sarc "

That's what they said about Tea Party candidates until they started winning.
