More spew. Ho hum.
I think a Romney first term starting next January will be better for America than an Obama second term.
Period.
I also think that a unified and confident conservative movement that seeks the election of Republicans to every office up and down the ballot nationwide, and then demands and receives conservative policies and appointments everywhere is the obvious strategy for success.
All of this hysteria and deliberate division is beneath a movement that counts Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan, William F. Buckley, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Lech Walesa, Vaclav Havel, Pope John Paul II, and George S. Patton among its heroes.
The amount of sobbing, hand-wringing, temporizing, and just flat out BS I’ve seen out of self-described “conservatives” over the last few weeks and months has been a disgrace.
This is politics, the art of the possible. It is not about anybody’s conscience or standing in the eyes of God. There is a menu, one orders from the menu, and then one moves forward seeking practical results. All of this preening and agonizing just makes conservatives look crazy, un-serious, and weak, and makes us more likely to be marginalized and ignored.
EVERYTHING we do on this planet is about conscience and our standing in the eyes of God.
In case you hadn't noticed, Free Republic is not only a conservative forum, but is a PRO GOD forum. If you don't believe that your actions on this earth have spiritual consequences, then you are on the wrong forum.

We are Gideon's army. I am not agonizing about anything. I am preparing for the battle.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Eph 6:12

Woops, sorry to butt in here, but a few of those names would wretch publically with your assertion, trying to attribute the same cowardice and fear to them (similar to the Romeny voters) which they never possessed, given that these men were men, who did not shrink from “division”, for whatever “hysteria” it may have caused to the other side.
Pope John Paul II taught against using improper means to an end. Do you understand what that means? If you want something, you can not use unconscienable means to get whatever it is you think you want. You can not be complicit with evil, IN ANY MEASURE. PERIOD.
Now you take ole Romney here. You *think* he is less evil than Obama guy, so you want him to win, on a wing and a prayer that he will do less harm than Obama guy.
But your own eyes, and ears have seen and heard. Romney has that dang record (and LIVE VIDEO) of saying and doing the same evil but in a smaller space. (MASSACHUSETTS) It was evil, it struck at religious liberty of Catholic institutions there, same as Obama, and which we will all be protesting on “Fortnight”.
Get a clue.
