Voting to weaken the victor's mandate is the only way we can give all those conservatives we voted for down-ticket the chance to see a weak, defensive statist president whom they can DOMINATE.
Your false mantra is to claim that refusing to vote for Romney "helps" Obama. Here's the truth: whether you mean to or not, voting FOR Romney is helping liberal statism. There's only one way to avoid doing that -- vote for SOMEBODY ELSE and let the chips fall where they may. Our Founders designed a pretty good system for voters. LET IT DO ITS WORK.
It's like this: ABO is founded in fear and touched with hysteria. Fear and hysteria lead to bad moves and mistakes, and have pretty much since Adam. That is a HUGE WARNING SIGN that ABO is bad strategy.

Excellent post.
And just for general info, my list of folks who are ABOOR, like you and me, is at 97 FReepers. The only reason I started compiling this list a few days ago was to see just how much we were in the minority. I expected there to be maybe 60 of us.
I am pleasantly surprised and encouraged, if only to know that I am in such sizeable good company. I realize that we are only FReepers, but I pray that millions of non-FReeping conservatives correspond with our thinking on this, that Romney needs to be rejected regardless of the scare tactics of Obama Hysteria.
Pray for a miracle. I'm praying that the Almighty vanquish Mitt Romney before this November and elevate a limited government Republican in his stead.
