I had a hard enough time voting for McCain last time around, this is even worse. Voting for Romney would be a short-term win, but in the long run, it's further destruction of the conservative "brand", and I've hated that word "brand" ever since the pols started using it a few years ago.

"Brand" sounds like a shallow "How do we fool them today?" to me. But the Republicans use it.

Romney says "I'm a Conservative Republican!" and "Obama is a nice guy."

Who else sounded like that? McCain was the first pol I'd ever heard say, in effect, "It's okay with me if you vote for my opponent."

Loser mentality, and I smell the same stench with Romney.

If I stay home, it will be the first time I ever did that, since I started voting in 1976. Carter was the first, and last, Democrat I ever voted for. I've never seen one on my ballot since, that was to the right of Carl Levin, for example. They all come out of the same cookie cutter.

That was a silly thing for McCain to have done... of course there was much to fear from a President Obama. Like the worst presidential policies in American history. It had everything to do with the color of his politics, not the color of his skin.

If Obama wins another term, no other election will matter very much.

Our country will be lost.

There is no way that an Obama victory can be of any advantage to any true Conservative.

You will only “teach” Republicans and the public at large that the country LOVES SOCIALISM if Obama wins again.

If you refuse to vote in the race for ‘12 POTUS, then vote in all of the other political races, instead. Don’t stay at home and harm all of the other political races that are going on at the same time! Vote for conservatives in all of the other political races, and prevent the left from becoming, even, more powerful!

“If I stay home, it will be the first time I ever did that, since I started voting in 1976.”

And this time, after Obama gets re-elected and drives the final nail into America’s coffin, you can brag to your great-grandchildren what a genius you were.
