I hope and pray that you and others who believe as you do are wrong, and that your campaign to re-elect Obama fails.

Romney is not my choice for President.

HST, I will invest as much time, talent and treasure as I can to ensure that Obama IS NOT re-elected, and that Real Conservatives ARE elected to the House and Senate.

After the election, I’ll work to reform the Republican Party as a constitutional, conservative force in American Politics.

I knew a lot of people who had no clue what kind of person Obama was, where he was lacking, or what he would do as President. They knew a few things:

All of those things you just listed will have no impact on this election. Well, a lot of people will still vote for Obama simply because he's black or he's got a (D) next to his name. The economy though? Romney won't be able to connect with them on that. Gitmo? Not an issue. "Post-racial President?" Are they now going to turn around and vote for a guy who belong to a church that oppressed black members until the late 1970s?

Nothing you listed really helps Romney.

However, some of those people will vote for Romney once they find out how much of a liberal he is.

Well, if you like Romney, you vote for him.

Romney will be worse than Obama, because he’ll have his supporters in the Congress and in the public supporting Obama-like programs.

So, again, if you like Romney, knock yourself out, but I want no part of him or his agenda.

I have made it clear several times that I am voting AGAINST Obama!

Obama is a dictator wannabe, and Romney is not!

If Obama wins, and is able to push through the rest of his plan to destroy America and rule us like he was one of the ancient Egyptian Pharoahs, then where will you be?

I’m telling all of you who aren’t willing to bite the bullet, however distasteful it may be, and vote for Romney are going to regret your stupidity if Obama wins!

And, when your slave grandchildren ask you what happened in 2012, what are you going to tell them?

Willard IS Obama, just with a GOP-e, RINO cheering section. I don’t want to sit in that cheering section or sing in the Romney choir.

I will not support Obama and I will not support Romney. I will not support the agenda they share.

This year affords me the opportunity to tell the GOP that they cannot count on me to support them in perpetrating an Obama-Romney false choice. Obama and Romney are repugnant traitors. They hate this country and want to destroy it.

But, again, if you like what they’re selling or think it smells sweeter with an (R) label, go for it. Most people will support one of them. I won’t.

You are pathetic. It is not my campaign to re-elect Obama. The GOP-E wanted Romney, now it looks like they have him, they have to figure out how to get him elected. Quit blaming the skeptics for the fact that the GOP-E pushed about the worst possbible candidate, and let him annihilate any viable alternatives.

And who were the perfect conservatives in the race ?

These purity tests are a joke. Did you vote for McCain or GWB?

The Conservative Cause is clearly served by an Obama re-election rather than a Romney win.

A Right leaning/Conservative Congress can easily remain united behind an Obama re-election....whereas the same Congress will be sliced and diced by the RINOS if Romney is in the White House.

The Powers That Be fully understand this....

Yeah, I voted for them both. We were told by the GOP-E that we should suck it in and that we should vote for the RINO if he won the primary.

But in 2010, something else happened. Conservatives beat RINOs in the primary. And the GOP-E turned on the Tea Party candidates and knifed them in the back.

So the GOP-E can try and win with Romney. They have shown by their example that party loyalty only applies when their guy wins. So I'm reciprocating. I will work for a congressional candidate like I did last election. Whether Romney or Obama wins, we're going to need a counterweight for their liberalism.

Romney is far worse than McCain. McCain at least served his country in the military. Romney's family never has.

McCain never tried to run to the left of Ted Kennedy on abortion.

I have no idea what Romney stands for, other than fulfilling his own personal drive for power. He takes away all kinds of GOP advantages while offering no advantage of his own. The only advantage he had in the GOP primary - money - will not be an advantage in the general.

I am simply expressing how poor a candidate Romney is. Since the GOP-E is so enamored of him, they can figure out how to get him over the finish line. Me, I'll work for someone who is actually a conservative. I guess you are willing to swill the GOP-E koolaid that we have to vote for the primary winner, even though they refused to go along with that in 2010. I think I'll pass.

Dear Glock, there is a Soviet Union-sized difference between a “less than perfect conservative” and a pro-abortion, gun-grabbing, Liberal judge appointing, homosexual agenda pushing, State-run healthcare crafting sham of a Republican.

The worst evil Obama has done to America is in convincing Conservatives to vote for a Liberal Democrat like (R)Money.

I am back to “carefully reconsider your position.”

A Romney Presidency MAY not meet all of your needs, or my needs, or the TEA Party needs, or America’s needs, but it is FOR SURE that four more years of Obama WILL NOT!

And once again, there isn't going to BE a Romney presidency. The man has a 34 percent approval rating - BEFORE the general even heats up. McCain had 54 and Bush 49 at this point in 2008 and 2000, respectively.

What part of the fact that Romney was the worst possible candidate for this cycle do you not understand? The GOP-E wanted him, fine, let them shove him across the finish line. I will work for a down-ticket candidate with at least some conservative values and a chance of winning.
