AMEN, Windflier.
I pray that American patriots wake up in time to the foolishness of ABO and understand that they would better use their vote to weaken whichever statist authoritarian we are GUARANTEED to get, by voting third party and splitting the vote into such a plurality that the winner goes into office with the majority of Americans on record as voting AGAINST him, making that president vulnerable to his enemies in his own party as well as the opposition party, and giving the conservatives we voted for down-ticket a better chance of dominating him.
Windflier, we are in sizeable and good company. My list of FReepers who refuse to vote for Romney is at 119 names now, though there are probably many more because I am ONLY including those where I've caught their posts where they've said they won't vote for Romney, or (in about three cases) come down on him so harshly and so consistently, post after post, that it's safe to assume they won't.
Sometimes I read a post and am just about adding the FReepers name to my list, and then see at the bottom, "but he'd be better than Obama ..." and have to leave the name off. A sadly shocking number of good patriots and fellow conservatives who absolutely loathe Romney and everything he stands for, are ready to vote for him against their better judgment.
Talk about a red flag that voting for the guy is a bad move.
My name should be on your list. See tag line and it is the truth.
Given that Obama and Romney are merely two sides of the same coin, your strategy makes a whole lot of sense. I want whichever statist Socialist who wins this thing, to go into 2013 with the slimmest plurality possible, to rule out any pretense of a mandate.
Unless some miracle happens in Tampa, we've lost the presidency this go round. The decrepit elites have engineered it so the people have no real choice in the overall agenda, going forward. One or the other of their puppets will ensure that it stays on track.
At this point, we need to do all that we can to ensure that Congress is dominated by people who will push back against the compromised White House and the cabal that pulls its strings.
