That’s about the way I feel too, although Romney certainly mouthed all the right words at the debate. And for those who are quick to cry “traitor” at anyone who does not rush to embrace Romney, let me remind you that there are more elections on this ballot than just the presidency. It is also important that conservatives strengthen our presence in the House and add to our numbers in the Senate.

if Romney kicks BO’s butt this next round as badly as he did in Round 1, I could almost see myself voting for him. But I would do so not in the blind faith that he’s a conservative, but in the full realization that I was participating in the gradual demise of our country.

Perhaps we should think of it as slowing the demise of our country; it must be slowed before it can be stopped and then reversed.

Yes, there are so many reasons conservatives are not happy with Romney as the GOP nominee. But I see this as a battle that we have been losing for 50 years. Every RINO compromise, every conciliation and every deal made in a bi-partisan manner has favored the liberal socialists and stomped on the Constitution. All of this aided by a liberal biased press. The cards have been stacked. The Tea Party has begun to change the dynamic but we are not there yet. It is going to take a concerted long term effort to get this country back. The key being the Tea Party to hold people accountable. In my mind Romney is just a start, Not the best but start nonetheless. Our next goal should be to dismantle the liberal media and level the information playing field. It has to be a combined assault on the entire left propaganda machine. We need to get to the point where we demand that our tax dollars are not used to indoctrinate kids at universities and public schools. Our problems and challenges are so large in the long term that at this point Romney is just a beginning. Just the fact that i have a son serving overseas is enough to vote for Romney because of the the bammer’s complete betrayal of our military. In my opinion sitting this one out just doesn’t make sense.

the problem is that even sitting out is participating in the demise.
