Please explain how this position is any different from the ABOs “If you don’t vote for Romney you’re really an Obama supporter”.

Thanks.

My main fear is that Obama will get re-elected and continue with a quadrennium of executive privileges and leading us to become a third world country.

I supported many of the candidates listed in an earlier post: Newt, Santorum, Cain, but they did not “make the cut.”

If I don’t vote against Obama, I would betray my sense of right and wrong. I know each of us have their own reasons to vote for whom they want. That’s our right as citizens of this great nation. My prayer is that conservatives will gain a stronger majority in the house and a majority in the Senate. If Romney tries to “rino us to death,” (Or further debt) they must get in his face and say, “Not with us, Mr. President.”

I am not passionate about Romney, I’m just passionate about kicking O out of office.

By the way, thanks for the question—it may not be the answer you want, but it is from my belief in what I should do.

You know what? Your position is intellectually honest and I respect it. Thanks for your honest opinion.

I try as hard as I can to stay on the high road in this debate. Romney is a bridge too far for me because I can’t support a self-described progressive. But, I don’t paint those who are doing what they feel they must do as Democrats. I’m sure not a Democrat, but I can’t vote for Romney.

Thank you for addressing the issue head on.

For as long as I can remember (which I hate to admit is getting to be a long time), there has been an on-going war in the conservative movement between the crunchy "purists" and the squishy "pragmatists". And this election is no different in that regard.

Also, there is a vast sea of relatively uninvolved voters, who imagine that their only duty is to go to the polls on election day, and vote for the best, or at least the "least worst" candidate. And this election is no different in that regard, either.

What is different is that this is no ordinary election: I've become convinced that the fate of the Repblic hangs on this November in a way that is unprecedented, with the possible exception of 1860. Removing Obama is not sufficient, but it is necessary if we are to have any hope of beginning the work of peacefully restoring the Republic. If Obama wins, that last slim hope will vanish.

Can't vote for Romney? Fine, I can respect that. But we still have to dig deep, support good candidates (say, Cruz in Texas), and if you have the means, get to a swing state at least for GOTV the week before the elections (I'm heading to Nevada, as Cali is a lost cause at this point.)

But the endless angels on the head of a pin argument about not voting for the Rino Romney? It's irrelevant. Time to pull up our socks and take the battle to the enemy.
