The question must finally be asked. If the Democrat ticket was Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, would you want Romney to lose?

In summary, your question amounts to "how completely evil does the other team's candidate have to be before you are willing to support our team's completely awful candidate". With all due respect, I think that's a cowardly question. How about we have the courage and conviction to limit our support to only God-fearing, patriotic, pro-life/liberty/pursuit, small government, personal responsibility and freedom candidates? You know --- the planks that are supposed to be part of the Republican platform. That way we don't have to be concerned with how many of our rights and freedoms we are willing to sacrifice just because the other team is completely evil and might win an election. You ask "would you want Romney to lose", I answer that I want both of the liberal heaps of trash running for POTUS to lose. I want an embarrassing defeat for each of them. I want a genuine conservative that would make our Founders proud to mop the floor with them in an utterly humiliating fashion. What's disappointing to me is that so many claim to feel the same way, but don't have the spine to vote with with their conviction. If we all did, a genuine conservative would win. Don't ask me how much I'm willing to give up just because the other team is evil. That kind of question sets the Founders to spinning in their graves.
