I do not vote "against" , I vote "for" a candidate. Since when has a vote against any candidate won?????... Name one time when voting against any President it has worked for conservativisim. It doesn't.

A vote "for" Romney means you and others are supporting his agenda. You cannot say your "against everything that Obama stands for", and then turn around and vote for his twin.

....“The greatest paradigm shifts in a culture rarely come about as a result of the majority, but usually from a minority who refuses to compromise their beliefs.”....

I will not support someone who is opposed to all my beliefs and is more than deceptive in what he spews from his mouth...not now...not ever.

You go right ahead and hitch your wagon to Romney's sled....support him all you want...and I would expect that would mean your pocketbook as well...that is your right as a voter....I will not.

And BTW a vote for Newt is a vote "for" a candidate far far superior to either Romney and certainly Obama.

So Go Newt Go!!!!!

I’ll be voting for Newt in the primary.

But I’ll vote for whoever the nominee is against Obama. It’s a no-brainer for me.

I remember very similar arguments when Ford, instead of Reagan, was the nominee against Jimmy Carter. And a lot of folks stayed home while Carter won a close race.

We are still paying for the disaster of the Carter presidency. I think it is most unwise to repeat with Obama.

Newt was my preferred candidate too, but, he’s realistically out of it.

Now, voting against someone is the same as keeping him from continuing his agenda and his damaging ways. It’s just one way of looking at things.

Voting for Romney is not necessarily endorsing his agenda or policies, but, it’s a way of getting someone in there who is not as dangerous as the Marxist in the White House now, and to me, getting rid of Obama is the number one priority, and getting Romney elected is not a priority at all. But, we have to face the realities, and that is, a vote for Romney is a way to get rid of Obama. Getting rid of Obama is what we need. We can control or neutralize Romney with a more conservative congress.

Not voting doesn’t work at all for conservatism. And, though we’ve heard it millions of times, sometimes, voting for the lesser of two evils might not be the best strategy, but, right now, we do have to get rid of the bigger evil.
