Romney was my last choice but today he is our only choice.

Not exactly, writeins are still legal.

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”

-- John Quincy Adams

"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual--or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country."

-- Samuel Adams

Always vote for principle

Yes Itsashot, you are free to a protest vote but as my protest vote in 1992 got us Bill Clinton, protest voters in 2012 will give us four more years of Barack Obama.

I wouldn't think anyone on this forum would want a lifetime of ObamaCare, gun control, religious organization being mandated to provide birth control etc.

Yes, appealingly to ideologues is a fools errand but as I stated in the article it is too important for our progeny for you to vote against them! When I was a fly-fishing guide I had the opportunity to fish with a lawyer from Ronald Reagans Kitchen Cabinet, I told him of my mistake of my protest vote. He said: Yes I understand, many did as you did but here is something to remember - Sometimes we may not like the candidate of our party but we must always vote the party line because what we are really voting for is the lifelong appointments of the Supreme Court judges each president will make.

I remember this lesson and I have minded this wise council from a man that Ronald Reagan listened to.
