If the current occupant of the White Hut actually respected the Constitution and the doctrine of separation of powers, I’d agree with you. But Obama has already shown that he doesn’t give a flying damn about Congress. You could have 3/4 majorities in both the House and the Senate AND a solidly conservative Supreme Court and given the current spinelessness of Republicans in leadership positions, he’d STILL just go his merry way and pass whatever laws he wanted by executive orders.
If Obama gets back in office, he appoints Supreme Court justices (assuming the probability that at least one dies or retires in the next four years) and flips the court from conservative to liberal. Do you really think the Republicans in Congress will have the balls to stand up and fight Obama on appointments? We already got Kagan and Sotomayor thanks to them.
If Congress was (a) truly conservative, which it isn’t, and (b) aggressive, which it isn’t, then I might be willing to agree with you. But I can’t. I don’t like it but I am probably going to have to hold my nose and vote for Romney in the slim hope that he can be swayed more to the right. Because four more years of the Marxist-in-Chief running roughshod over the Constitution, unfettered by the eunuchs on Capitol Hill, is too horrible to contemplate.

I understand you and cannot fault you for voting Romney under those circumstances. It is those that actually are pro-Romney and using the ABO stance as a stealth way to promote Romney. That isn’t cool on FR, and Jim Robinson has affirmed this over and over.
Hey, those of us that refuse to vote for Romney because he is slime realize we are taking a chance. The problem is in this election is that whether one votes for Obama or Romney they are taking a chance. So, I have said I’m voting third party....of course that is taking a chance as well. However, at least I can live with my decision.
