Exactly! Obama acts as if he already sports Satan's mark. Romney is about as "perfect" as the average Christian which is a lot better than what can be said for Obama. Those running on "pure Christian principles" forget their own foibles. Even Paul, who had met the risen Jesus face-to-face and who became a Spirit-driven advocate of the New Covenant, was anguished and lamented that he "Did not that which he would do and did that which he would not do". If he could not do as Jesus commanded, then how can we expect anyone (especially a politician) to do better?
I distinguish between "the lesser of two evils" and act accordingly. Many here would leave Satan in power even if voting for an imperfect and "evil" man would unseat the Prince of Darkness.
God Bless
Sorry to get into this so late, but, I have been waffling of late following the Ryan pick. JimRob has returned me firmly to the Romney/Obama are not alternatives camp. They are the same choice.
The Republican leadership is at one with the Democrat leadership. Both parties are without Constitutional merit. Both are unutterably corrupt. Both are working for the same goals.
Electing Romney postpones the inevitable. With Obama we have a clear and precise enemy. He can be defeated, not at the polls but in the Congress and the courts. A veto proof Senate, almost a certainty, will guarantee Obama’s impeachment, trial and conviction on charges of sedition and as an enemy of the state. He deserves nothing less.
That is the only worthwhile outcome from the fiasco in which we are embroiled.
Electing Romney accomplishes nothing. It does not save the Constitution. It does not roll back abortion. It does not reduce the size and scope of government. It does not end Obamacare. It does not even save the economy, a shibboleth of the ABO crowd.
I have not missed a national election since 1960 but I am going to sit this one out. The only choices are bad and worse in no particular order.
When Stalin & Hitler were at war, no matter who won — the civilians lost.
No matter who wins in this upcoming elction, conservatism loses.
For MONTHS now, I've said that so many FREEPERs have embraced pragmatic utilitarian political relavistic ethics that they would vote for a reincarnated Hitler in order to beat THE Democratic "anti-Christ."
And now we have a poster who comes along and indicates, "Yup, I'd vote for the 'evil' man to beat 'Satan.'"
Romney is no reincarnated Hitler, but his Massachusetts machinations are STILL paying for the slaughter of pre-born in MA...where in SOME cases, the former $50 abortions are now "free" (at taxpayers' expense)...thereby drawing in the entire populace to footing the slaughter.

This pragmatic utilitarian political relativism is so open-ended for embracing the supposed "lesser" of 2 evils, that...
...(a) It has no boundary once embraced...these people will tell you to vote for a reincarnated Hitler...or, if Obama loses in 2012, and then converts to a RINO and re-runs in 2020, they'll tell you to vote for Obama 'cause the Dems ALWAYS run somebody to the left of the (R) guy!
...(b) Their children and grandchildren will take up this "ethic" and run with it...and there goes any remnant residue of conservatism.
Their children and grandchildren will chase the "evil one" as their "political savior" and political messiah -- all because they fear Satan; they fear the Anti-Christ; they fear Obama; they fear liberalism; they fear Islam.
Fear, fear, fear, is their only focus.
They are cowards, one and all, who allow fear to dictate their every political move.
Jesus says don't fear the one who can harm the body; fear the One who can place somebody in hell. And if Romney is yet another pied piper leading more spiritually gullible into Mormonism and its legalistic hell, then that needs some attention.
Jesus told the Pharisees of that day that they traversed sea and land to make converts "twice the son of hell."
Mormonism, with its 55,000 legalistic extensions, are doing exactly that.
Thank you for that dose of common sense, straight out of Scripture. God bless you.
