Voting against something is one thing. Voting FOR it is altogether different. People who vote for Romney may be voting against Obama, but they'll be voting FOR a guy who has been a steadfast friend of the gay agenda. As governer, he even proclaimed Gay Youth Pride and its outreach to schools.
I have a duty to vote -- I HAVE to vote; to refrain from voting would be dereliction of duty and a betrayal of patriotism.
It would be a betrayal of conservative philosophy to work toward making a confirmed amoral statist like Romney the most powerful Republican in America. It would be a betrayal as well to vote for Obama.
I will vote third party, wash my hands of favoring either statist, and pray that enough Americans join me so that when the dust is settled, nearly two thirds of Americans voted against the new president elected by a scant 38 or 40% plurality, making him pretty much the most despised politician in the country. All the conservatives I voted for down-ticket would do better battle against an enemy on the defensive, weak, and vulnerable.
Turns out that doing my duty instead of shirking it because I reject both authoritarian statist candidates, could result in giving the good guys the best edge that, under the circumstances, they could get.
No, I will not be joining you in the insanity of allowing Obama to stay in office.
Very well said.
And I am sure he will do nothing to stop the thousands of abortions every single day in America.
ann coulter will be happy though.
