We may not like Romney (he wasn't even my last choice; I never considered him at all), but he is the candidate. He's far from perfect. He's not conservative. I can come up with dozens of reasons not to vote for him, but there is one reason to vote for him and that is to deny Obama a chance to finish what he started.
Yeah, I know, two sides of the same coin, yada, yada, yada. Obama hates America. Romney doesn't. Obama wants to destroy America. Romney doesn't. If I'm headed for a cliff at 600 MPH, and have a chance to switch drivers to get someone who is headed there at 100 MPH, I'm a fool if I don't take that shot. At least you slow down and buy some time to get the damned thing stopped and turned around.
Go ahead and cast your so-called vote of conscience. If Obama squeaks out a victory, it will be on your hands. Cry all you want about how its the fault of the GOP-e and how they gave us a flawed candidate. The death of the Republic will still be on your hands.
Did it ever occur to you that some of us are real tired of not having anyone to vote for, just someone to vote against?
And really, it’s a weak point to blame those that actually have a conscience for the “death of the Republic”. If that’s the best you can do to drum up support for Mittens, you need a new tactic. Blame the people that were dumb enough in the first place to vote for the current president.
