Seriously. I understand the Republicans who did not like Bush, and wanted to send a message to the party, and for some insane reason were in utter denial about Obama being a Marxist, and voted for Obama in 2008. But for the life of me, I cannot understand how any Republican can support Obama in 2012.

Romney is not Reagan, Goldwater's firebrand attack dog, so there are no equivalents to "John Anderson Republicans" this time. While McCain was no Reagan, there is no "punish the GOP because of Bush and Iraq" Republicans this time. Who is left?

If Powell shows up, it will only confirm it is all about race with him. He could have voted for one of his Vietnam Brothers in Arms, but abandoned McCain.

My guess is any Republicans who show up will be irrelevant state level pols, gay Republicans, pro-choice women Republicans, and a handful of anti-Mormon bigots. Basically, those who would trade the destruction of the country, and the destruction of the majority of their freedoms for free birth control pills or a same sex "marriage" license.

Of course it’s all about race. When 95% of any group vote for the person who looks like them, and who they think is going to treat them better because of they way they look, what else do you call it?

There’s a difference between not supporting Romney and supporting Obama.

The reason? Mitt Romney supports abortion and gay marriage, just like Obama. I’m not going to support anyone who supports abortion and I don’t care whether they have the D or R by their name.

No more RINOs!
