They know we're voting against Obama and his cronies because we hate what they are doing to our country, There's the problem, full stop.
They are capitalizing on a well-believed lie — there is no such thing as a vote against in our [election] system, only a vote for.
and the GOP is our only legitimate option right now.
No, they aren't; so what if voting Constitution Party, or Libertarian, or American Ammo Party won't win — to call them the only legitimate option
is to concede to them that pushing unacceptable candidates [like Romney or McCain] legitimizes that candidate. The election clearly repudiated that: the failure to motivate the Republican's base proves that the GOP stamp doesn't suddenly make the unacceptable electable

You're right, of course. I was just anticipating the "lesser of two evils" and "not voting GOP is the same as voting Dem" arguments, I guess.
I'm just so f'n sick of this. And so f'n pissed at what they are doing to us and our country.
