I’m all in for a 3rd party after this election. There’s simply no time now to mount a serious challenge. I simply don’t believe i have the luxury to cast a protest vote.

I respect that position, but the only way to grab the GOP’s attention seems to be to go for maximum impact. I didn’t come by this decision easily.

Are you sure the time will be right then? If Romney wins, I suspect that a lot of people will be saying that it sucks to have to vote for a Romney second term but it is better than Hillary (or whoever the boogy man of 2016 is). They will again being repeating mantra: "Now's no time for a third-party, let's wait until the next election."

If you wait until the time is perfect to exercise your principles, you never will. If you sell out and vote for a 100%, dyed-in-the-wool model of RINOism this time, imagine how easy it will be to vote for an 90% RINO in the future.

Why not concentrate on electing the most conservative congressperson you can?
