“Then conversely, you should be appreciative that I am not ‘voting against your guy’ either. “
I am appreciative you are not voting against the Republican running against Obama... not sure that was the point though.
But as I said over and over, the democrats will appreciate you not voting against Obama.
You could probably put that one on a DU profile or sell to a democratic campaign: “I won’t vote against Obama”
Just be honest.... and say you’re ok with Obama as your president because you will not vote against him.
As I said before: It is impossible to vote against anyone. There is not a "[ ] Yes [ ] No" along side each name on the ballot. Ergo, you are voting *FOR* a candidate. Obviously, your particular brand of 'conservatism' allows you to vote for abortion, homo marriage, gun control, and etc, as that is what you are undoubtedly supporting in voting for Romney.
I certainly do not want Obama to win... but I do not want Romney to win either. There is little difference between them, so why would I give a crap which one wins? All I can do is vote *FOR* those who lift up American Conservatism, and let God do the rest.
And such has always been the case. Conservatives vote their conscience. They vote for the principles they stand upon. The GOP has been crying in their beer as long as I have been alive because trying to herd Conservatives is like trying to herd cats. When the GOP stands upon Conservatism, then they win, because the Conservatives vote for them. No herding is necessary, and it is not effective.
