We were talking about Romney, the pro-abort, pro-gay, liberal Republican pretending to be "severely conservative".

He was lying almost every time he opened his mouth. That might work in the Democrat primary where they love liars and the biggest and best liars are rewarded. Conservatives do not operate that way.

Besides it is not my job or duty to vote for someone I don't trust. It is the job of the party and candidate to earn our votes. They do not get them by default.

The "lesser evil" argument doesn't work any more. Sorry about that.

It is our duty to vote and to vote for what we believe will be best for our country. There are certainly circumstances when standing firm with your beliefs is very admirable. When what you do impacts on other people it may be a little different. Do you really think our country is better off after the Obama years than we would have been with a Romney presidency? Which comments about Obama that I made in my last post to "cdcdawg" do you disagree with?

I agree, you should be sorry about that. Please explain why the greater evil is better than the lesser. Since we live in an imperfect world, everything has some evil. Why is it not good to always try to choose that which has the least evil and the most good - call it the "most good" argument. If you believe that Obama was the "most good" option then you will deserve all the potential grief he may cause.
