The reality is, that as a conservative Christian, I cannot vote for someone who is purposefully taking stands against God's laws, under any circumstances. To do so would harm my relationship with God and that is the most important thing to a Christian, or should be.

Does making it easier for the worse evil to win, knowing that Obama or Romney would be the next President, make things right with God? Anyone who believes that Goode or any other third party candidate had a chance can stop reading now.

Anybody who is both a fiscal AND social conservative. Otherwise, I vote third party. And I'd bet that a lot of conservatives, a lot more than in 2012, are now in that boat as well. The GOP better get it's house in order if it expects to win another Presidential election.

You're missing the real problem, which is that Americans in general have moved to the left. That's why we keep getting RINOs instead of true Conservatives. Do you honestly believe a real Conservative could have beaten Scott Brown in Massachusetts for the nomination. I don't.

We need to win Americans to Conservative values if we're going to get Conservative candidates again. Blaming the GOPe may feel good and be the easy way out, but all it will do is take Conservative votes way from the Conservative choices we have.

I spent a lot to get ABR nominated, but it didn't happen. In a situation where either Obama or Romney was going to be our next President, I wasn't going to make it easier for Obama to win by voting third party.

I've been hearing a lot of that nonsense lately, and most of it coming either from those who would be considered GOP-E, or supported Romney whole-heartedly, or who are Moderates in the GOP.

When we have someone whose record as Governor proclaims him to be a Progressive Liberal as our Presidential Candidate, this kind of weak reasoning is almost self-fulfilling. When the GOP runs someone who is Pro-Gay Agenda, Pro-Abortion, what do you expect?

The whole premise that this idea that the country is moving center-left is built on a shaky foundation of half-facts.

Almost half of those eligible to vote didn't vote in 2012 and we know there was massive cheating.

Combine that with a totally lackluster candidate in Mitt Romney who purposefully went out of his way to alienate the base of the GOP, conservatives, in his rush to try and win the moderate vote and your conclusion that the country is moving center-left is worthless and you've become nothing less than a puppet of the GOP-E in their desire to move the party to the left, since the GOP-E never believed either in social conservatism or fiscal conservatism.

I'm sure God doesn't look at things in a pragmatic way. He expects me to live by his laws, not by the lessor of two evils rule that you are employing.
