"The time to fight back is now"

And you are fighting back by voting for Virgil Goode, Mickey Mouse, Luke Skywalker? Heck just vote for Thomas Jefferson, he has just as good a chance.

Oh man. Looks like you missed the mark twice in your last post.

Voting for someone other than Socialist A, or Socialist B isn't how we fight back. That's simply registering a protest. No - we fight back by actually fighting back. We resist, in any and every way we can. Resistance can, and will take many forms.

Bottom line is, we must begin honestly pushing back in real and measurable ways. Personally, I'd like to see the Tea Party step it up a couple of notches, and begin organizing something other than peaceful rallies. People can resist in all sorts of ways, but they're going to have to find their spines to do so. Resistance won't come without some risk. That said, we risk a lot more by not resisting.

I agree we need to push back in MEASURABLE ways. Voting for someone that is going to get no more than three percent of the popular vote and has no chance of winning even one state is measurable but the measurement is ZERO.

If we support Romney we could possibly take the senate by the coat tails. With the House and Senate controlled by Republicans they will be able to put great pressure to push Romney to the right on every major issue. We could actually repeal Obamacare and even get several more right leaning SCOTUS appointments.

If Obama wins, even if we take the Senate and retain the house things will be a lot worse for us. You will be sick when Obama veto's the repeal of Obamacare and you realize Romney would have signed it. Obama will get LEFT leaning if not outright socialist hacks on the court.

There is simply no comparison between the two possible outcomes.

As far as the Tea Party stepping up a notch past peaceful I don't think that's a good idea at this time. We are not there yet. We still have several peaceful ways of regaining our liberty. A Constitutional Convention is another tool provided by our founding documents. I do think we agree that we are running out of time and running out of nice ways to regain our liberty.
