I respect your decision to vote for Romney, though it comes as something of a shock. It's your hard-fought right to vote for whomever you please. I respect that, and I don't envy you the sleepless nights, or the tough call it must have been to change your mind about this.
I won't be following suit, though.
I live in a state which will go whole-hog for Obama even if there were a thousand of me voting for someone else. That gives me the luxury of voting for whom I please, because casting my vote for Romney is a total waste -- it will not matter one whit against the horrendous Democrat bulk of New York City.
I will cast my vote for the person I believe could do the best job as President among those in the political top tier.Jim, if I could, I would write in Sarah Palin's name another time, for your sake. :)I will write in Sarah Palin.
My vote is not a "wasted" vote -- it expresses my true beliefs about who could run America the best.
My vote is not a "protest" vote -- I'm not protesting AGAINST anything, I'm voting FOR the best person out there.
And my vote sure as hell is not an "Obama vote", as so many FReepers seem to think.
I pray that Obama loses through the efforts of others whose votes will matter. Meanwhile I will put my efforts towards telling the Establishment, both Left and Right, that I think they suck and I will not support them. I will vote for someone I believe will represent my beliefs and priorities, and can lead a return of America to greatness.
Frankly, I think a surprising number of folks will do the same.
BTW, Jim, I'm just curious, not at all sarcastic: I thought CA was a given for Obama. Do you really suppose that California is that close, that your vote for Romney will put him over Obama there? Or do you think that by publicly taking heat for switching yourself, you will inspire enough other Conservatives to vote for Romney and put him over the top?
Anyway, Godspeed and all that, carry on the fight for doing the Right Thing. There will be no shortage of opportunities to wage that battle if Romney wins in November -- that liberal SOB is no less dangerous today than he was two days ago.
God Bless you, and Free Republic, and God Bless America!
Hi Onyx,
You do know of course that I would do the same for you as well, right? :)
I honestly have no idea. All I want is for Obama and the entire communist congressional caucus to be wiped out in a landslide. We had planned to do just this with the tea party before RR (Rove, Romney) co-opted it. Well, to hell with Rove, Romney. I say damn the torpedos. Flank speed ahead with the original plan. Wipe out the communist democrats who are trying to destroy America. Take our country back.and damn Roney to hell for complicating things.
