If your concience leads you to that conclusion, than use your intelligence, seek good guidance, and do what you need to do. I don’t condemn you for reaching a different conclusion that I do.

This is something you need to ask yourselves. I'm not condemning or judging you, as it's your choice alone and one that I'm not qualified to make for you. But you know as well as I do what awaits us if Obama is reelected. If Obama does win a second term and the inevitable happens, you'll have to ask your consciences Did I do my part to prevent this catastrophe from happening?
That's the failure of your logic, you state something as both obvious and inevitable that is more than just a little unlikely of occuring.
It's little more than propaganda as our system, this system of checks and balances, and ultimately, the 2nd Amendment is designed specifically to stop or halt what you are so obliquely hinting at.
I'm not willing to trade my conscience, my principles or my morals on the basis of your improbable surmisings.
To restate, it is ABL (Anybody but a Liberal), not ABO (Anybody but Obama).
I don't vote for Progressive Liberals whether they have an 'R' next to their name or a 'D'.

Here’s my dilemma.
If Romney is but Obama lite and he clearly is, and if Romney has the presidency and add to that his GOPE kingmakers behind him to push the very same things they objected to and stopped without a single vote, but will eagerly pass under Romney, then what have I prevented?
The GOPE purposely killed the Republican Party this year. They are expecting us to support that killing, by working us over with another force feed, of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”— certain that we will swallow whatever they dish up. We always have before, and we will again, and we always will, until we STOP.
I stopped.

It will not be of the Lord’s doing, but of the people’s. Thinking Sodom and Gomorrah here, the creation and worshipping of Baal, and the possible results that would go along with it for years of punishment and depravity until we are ready to come back.

I’m sure all those who insist that a candidate be a perfect conservative before getting their vote, have spouses that look just like Marilyn Monroe or Cary Grant (or the modern day equivalent of them). Of course, they are themselves perfect in every way. They also have the perfect car, perfect house, perfect children, and the perfect job.
They care for nothing or no one but themselves and their bubble of perfection.

If you study much of human history, every movement or school meets its end when zealots attempt to control its ideological purity.

If Obama does win a second term and the inevitable happens, you'll have to ask your consciences Did I do my part to prevent this catastrophe from happening? My conscience is clear. I've been warning you, and many others, for a very long time about what was happening in the Republican Party.
But don't kid yourself, the catastrophe is already upon you. And it has little to do with Barack Obama. It's the fruit of the compromise of a whole generation of Americans...including, and perhaps especially, a whole generation of Americans who call themselves "conservative."

What a load of nonsense. As if what we were suffering was a surplus of ideological purity. Ridiculous.
Virtually our entire political class is completely compromised and you all attack those who simply demand adherence to the simple moral basis of the oath of office.

Indeed.

I din’t vote for Romney in the primary and wish he wasn’t going to be the nominee. My vote in the general will be entirely anti-Obama.

My vote in the general will be entirely anti-Obama. You know, you've always been very nice to me, and very restrained in your posts.
So, it pains me to say this, it truly does, but if that means you're voting Romney, those are weasel words, just like "I'm voting for Sarah" was four years ago.
No, the votes go to the person running for the office. John Judas McCain. Mitt Romney. There were no presidential votes tallied for Sarah Palin in 2008 and there will be none counted as "Not Obama" in 2012.
Own it, man.

It’s a sad day when your tagline fits the likely Republican nominee and the Democrat nominee alike.
