Sorry, but when faced with two evils I think following any course other than what is required to get the lesser is just dead stupid. I loathe McCain, but I still voted for him to try to avoid the current disaster we’re suffering through. The spoiled children really proved a point by refusing to vote for McCain last time, didn’t they? Yeah that worked out well for us. Five trillion thanks guys. Instead of a McKennedy we could work on to force right, we’ve got a committed leftist appointing life-term judges to our federal courts at every level. Allowing a hardcore leftist to stay in office just to spite the RINO establishment is the wrong hill to die on. Just as I love it when Democrats vote for Greens, you can be sure the Democrats will love it when you vote for anyone other than the GOP nominee. This country was steered off course by increments over decades and I’m afraid that’s the only way we’ll get it back where it belongs. We need to go for wins where we can, but it’s dumb not to also limit damage where that’s the best option available.

The hear the tantrum of the spoiled children: Why are we the spoiled children for rejecting men who do not hold the values this nation was founded on. Why is it the fault of those who cling to their principals who lost McCain the election, and not McCain's liberal policies? Any deviation from the principals of the founders should be opposed. I can understand making a compromise when you are voting for someone who is going to ally themselves with those who do hold those values. That is not Mitt Romney. I'd like a cogent explanation of how we are going to hold his feet to the fire. We couldn't do with Bush Sr. on taxes, we couldn't do it with Bush Jr. on spending, and I do not believe we could have done it with McCain care. Let's face it the Republicans in congress and the senate are better at holding the feet of Democrats to the fire (no I will not vote for Obama- that's not my point), than a Republican President who is the “official party leader.”

I would also like an explanation of how electing a man who founded socialized medicine in America, supports gun control, picked pro-gay liberal judges, and raised taxes can be considered a “win.” If your going to argue foreign policy; I'm going to need better proof than a reassurance from Jimmy Carter that he can handle the job. It was Republican who got us the patriot act and the TSA.

If you were to look at Romney's record alone with no knowledge of who the record belonged to would you honestly say he was a conservative, or that he is fit to run the country.

Yes Obama may be worse, does it matter if they both seek to destroy America? What else can you call socialized medicine and all other aspects of Romney's record? You can't sell out your country to save it; my conscience won't let me.

I realize another four years of Obama may be well be the end of America, but we shouldn't let fear cloud or judgment and force us to leave behind our principals. At the end of the day I have answer for my actions and this country will be long gone, I won't answer that I put expediency over right and wrong. I fear God not Obama, that shouldn't make me a 'spoiled child'.
