And then a liberal democrat became the father of gay marriage, socialized medicine, islamic apology, and downfall of the American economy instead of the liberal republican running against him. Instead of a liberal republican president destroying any chance we had of keeping the House and taking the Senate, we have accomplished both -- with unprecedented numbers. And the presidential election is today a "sure thing" unless the GOP-E throws it away with another Romney'esque candidate. This is chess, not checkers. You have to sacrifice a piece now and then if you want to win. And giving up Romney was an easy decision. I'll make it again with no regrets.

"Ahem, Senator Cruz! I didn't stay home! I voted for the most conservative candidate on the ballot, Virgil Goode."

And then what happened?

Vet, Romney lost, that's what happened.

Had Romney won and we were three years into his presidency, Obama would be forgotten, past, gone. Romney would have a "Republican" administration that was philosophically in tune with Democrats on FIVE major issues. Three years into his presidency, limited government conservative Republicans would be much weaker; cynical voters who know what a crap shoot it is to vote "Republican," would tune out. Leftists would "win" (default) by ever larger margins. That's what would have happened if the man you voted FOR had won.

There are some who to hold me responsible for what happened because Obama won. I am only responsible for what would happen if my guy won. Voting for Romney was as nuts as voting for Obama.

You would be bearing the blame and burden for remorse and regret that went beyond strategic and to the spiritual, because you would have been responsible for endorsing and supporting the amoral government-advancing Republican president who destroyed limited government conservatism as a political voice.

At least now, limited government conservatives can either reclaim the Republican party or start fresh with a third party. Romney is an amoral pro-government political vampire and he is bad news all around. Voting for that is destined for regret. You are only looking at what you're running away from, and not looking at the nightmare you're being manipulated into replacing it with.

So-real and I and plenty of others have. You will too, someday. Stand up and fight. Face it down and replace it with the solution: LIMITED GOVERNMENT philosophy.
