“If Romney win’s, at worst we’ll have to endure eight years of him before he hands the executive office back to the democrats. At best, we’ll only have to endure him for four years before the democrats take control once again.”

So it’s “best” to have the democrats in control as soon as possible?

Better yet, just leave hussein in place then, yes?

I truly do understand the principle behind a conservative who cannot vote for Romney. I was one.....who has now changed my mind. But to have ANY conservative wishing and hoping for democrat control is just beyond any sense whatsoever.

You miss the whole point ~ in Romney we have a candidate who will probably lose!

Even now his more rabid supporters are looking around for scapegoats to blame for that defeat. They've latched onto regular Conservatives.

With or without support we can't win with Romney and we need someone else.

Remember, 2008, Obama got 69 million. McCain got 59 million.

Obama has to lose 15% of his 2008 voters to end up with as many votes as our best vote getter ever got!

A realistic appraisal is that it is very unlikely that even Obama is going to suffer a 15% loss of Democrat voters, and it's Democrats we are talking about ~ not people who discuss things rationally like we do.

You don't get it. Romney *is* a liberal, a stealth democrat. What's "best" is for him to get out of the race entirely and make room for a real conservative. That would guarantee a November 2012 success. But if he doesn't get out, and somehow actually wins the election, then "yes", the best thing that can happen is that we only have to suffer under him for four years before he hands the reigns on a silver platter back over to those democrats who aren't in stealth mode, so we can *try again* to run a real conservative as a republican four years later. And, HOPEFULLY, during his four years in office, Romney doesn't damage the republican brand so badly that we lose the Congress in 2016 -- which is a genuine and entirely horrific possibility. Romney, in one foul swoop, can undo all the good the Tea Party has brought over the last three years. This is chess, not checkers. If you want to win in the end, sometimes you have to sacrifice the Queen in the middle. I'd happily toss Romney from the board.

Ditto, FRiend, and mutual -- I truly do understand the principle behind a conservative who cannot vote for Romney.

..... But to have ANY conservative wishing and hoping for democrat control is just beyond any sense whatsoever.

Speaking for myself, it doesn't make sense because it's not what I'm wishing and hoping for.

Only a lunatic would wish for democrat control -- or liberal statist control. I am wishing and hoping that this election turns out so that whichever guy wins, is as minimized in his control as possible. Zero mandate, in office even though most voted against him, defensive, and weak. That's the best favor we can do for the limited government conservatives that, there's a very good chance, will increase in Congress.
