Is this true? You know someone like this? You have a link to a story about this? There's a post here in FR where someone says they are doing this?

Do you actually think they would come out and admit it in a serious fashion? Of course there are Republicans who dislike Romney more than Obama and go as far as giving money to him.

Heck, I personally know hardcore conservative republicans who voted as such all of their lives but are now retired, on Social Security, without health insurance who voted for Obama in 2008 and will vote for him again in 2012. Sad but true.

There are conservatives who are so angry that their branch of the GOP failed so miserably at getting their guy nominated that they need to place the blame elsewhere so they need to teach some lessons by making sure Obama gets another 4 years.

I cannot say I will never vote for Romney but I cannot find it in me to ever support him or fight for his cause. Historically, this means that candidate will lose in the general. Maybe this time will be different having such a bad President today. I don't know. There's nothing about Romney that turns me on and I would never waste my time going door to door for him.

Just like the GOP paid to run Ralph Nader ads in the past and Limbaugh raised money for Hillary.. yes Virginia there are some very upset conservatives who now hope lessons will be learned and Obama wins even if it means they give money to him to assure that lesson be learned. That's politics.

Me, I put country above politics.

"There are conservatives who are so angry that their branch of the GOP failed so miserably at getting their guy nominated that they need to place the blame elsewhere so they need to teach some lessons by making sure Obama gets another 4 years."

This. And those 'conservatives' are the ones tied up in knots because they failed. Perry/Cain/Bachmann/Santorum/Gingrich turned out to be a circular firing squad, so now they can't argue with the other guys supporters, so they bitch at the ABOs. The whole thing is predictably laughable.

I do know. You know it too, in the back of your mind, but like many you can hardly believe that Obama performed so rottenly that we as a country are going to sweep him out of office. But that's exactly what's going to happen.
