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.
I do not discount your point that we need the GOP to stand on Conservatism. But never though out history can that be done by working from the outside of the organization to effect change within.
Large organizations change slowly by consistently pushing them in the direction you want them to go. As more are convinced to join things do change, organizations have inertia, and compromise sucks, but that is how the system is designed. (or was before Obama decided to break the laws)
Obama is a criminal who was never qualified to be President. Romney may be perceived as a liberal but he is an accomplished businessman, politician and administrator, and not a criminal.
Votes count, non votes do not.
Do you really think you can reason or provide a logical argument to a person who’s basic belief system is that if you do not agree with them you are an Obama supporter or an extreme liberal.
They have only one reply - Obama and the democrats thank you.
Its like trying to have a discussion with jello, and asking it to stop squirming.
