Is it wrong for me to point out to friends and family that may have been mislead by the lamestream media that Romney supported abortion, approved gun control laws, instituted socialied medicine, etc....?

I don't want Romney or Obama. I didn't want Obama or McCain. I didn't want Clinton or Dole.

I didn't vote for Bush I or Bush II.

The GOP just isn't delivering candidates that I can vote for.

It's not wrong at all, in fact it's the right thing to do--during an active, competitive primary. But once it was essentially all over but the twitching, I think it was wrong for some not to face the fact that we're going to get Romney or 0bama, whether we like it or not. Gonna happen. So at that point the rational thing to do is look for where there are differences, however small, and pick the guy who's going to do the least damage. If people are unwilling or unable to do that, they should stay out out of the matter. But a person saying they don't want either candidate while actively campaigning against only one is a horse of a different color(not saying this is you, and there's really only one who springs to mind as being on the pro-0bama jihad lately). I just get frustrated with the "they're no different" defeatist line around here. If nothing else there's a hell of a difference between a guy who wants a chance at two terms and a lame duck with nothing to lose. Who do you think the pathetic Pubs will be able to influence more? Now if we lose the house, it probably won't matter as much because Romney hasn't been too strong an executive in a Democrat-dominant environment.
