Folks can make all the arguments they want, and draw all the lines in the sand that they want. But the math doesn't lie. And the math says that a non-Romney vote is a vote for Obama.
What kind of math are you talking about? Not voting for Romney is not a vote for BHO it is a non vote for Romney.
There is no box check on the ballot for a candidate you are "Not For".
If you're not "For" then you vote otherwise....that's how it works. So trying to make it sound otherwise to justify to yourself why you've decided as you have is just foolish.
IF you vote for Romney, you're personally responsible for what hes about to perpetrate
In a Republic, the sovereignty resides in the people themselves, whether "one" or many.... In a Republic, "one" may "act on his own"... or through his representatives as he chooses to solve a problem...... Further, the people have no obligation to the government.
A Republic is representative government ruled by law (the Constitution)...... A democracy is direct government ruled by the majority (mob rule).....A Republic recognizes the inalienable rights of individuals while democracies are only concerned with group wants or needs (the public good).
I do not have to follow as "one" citizen of the USA I decide if I follow or resist....we are free voters...not hostages... to a party or otherwise.
