“WILL NOT VOTE”

That is not an option. If nothing else, we need to take the Senate. Vote. Leave POTUS blank if you must, but don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.

Heh. I "no vote" the US Senate slot, because the GOP gives me Snowe or Collins, and neither is acceptable to me. But I always vote. Darn near didn;t vote McCain/Palin; and given a similar choice, where my attraction is driven by the VP, I will NOT vote for the GOP offering. In other words, my vote was not for Mccain, but that is how it was counted, and that is how it should be counted. The man at the top matters, and ONLY that one.

I don't care if the GOP collapses, and I prefer to see the Federal government collapse quickly, and soon. The colonies did okay before the confederacy, and did okay before the federal government turned against the constitution in, oh, about 1915 or so.

If your face is scarred beyond all recognition it doesn’t matter what you do to your nose.

I had heard, on another thread, that the GOP Establishment wants Romney, and that they do not care if he loses to Obama, because they want to gain the Senate and keep the House, all in order to gain and retain the plum committee chair assignments, which allow the best kickbacks and bribes.

This is what they want, and they're afraid a Gingrich nomination will spoil it for them, and he'll turn off so many voters the democrats will retain the Senate and gain the House, thus causing them to lose all that booty control obtains.

This is quite the dilemma. I cannot bear the thought of Myth Romney as the GOP Candidate...0bama-lite.

I fully understand the need to build conservative majorities in the Senate and House, but we need to be mindful, too, that the next President is likely to have the opportunity to SIGNIFICANTLY shape SCOTUS. It is arguable whether Myth would make truly conservative appointments, but it is a sure bet that BHO will NOT. I don’t think we can stand 20 - 30 years of a hard left Court.

It is well past time to establish a viable third party in US politics.
