I think we're where we are today (being asked to choose between two liberals) because too many people like me got talked into voting for McCain as the lesser of two evils. So, figuring we'll accept anyone they nominate, the elitists in the party nominated Romney this time.
So, maybe if we refuse to vote for their liberal this time, the party won't try it again. I'm going to be proud of my vote this time.

That was tried in 2008 and we got Obama. No doubt the same strategy will grant Obama another 4 years. This form of revenge is destroying the Country. We’re not going to command the GOP through self-persecution. To regain control of the GOP, the work must be done locally and persistently — it will take decades. Protesting the vote will simply further degrade the Country.
If conservatives refuse to vote Romney, there will be a conservative nominee in 2016.
Why not defeat Romney in 2016 with a Conservative candidate?
Do you really wish to tank the Country so it’s not necessary to work at the grass roots level? Nuts!
I rather doubt that Romney will run again in 2016. It’s just as likely that he’ll be running a chain of abortion clinics by then. Most likely, he’ll just be sitting on the beach.
If conservatives boycott Romney in 2016, the GOP will nominate a conservative in 2016. If conservatives support Romney in 2012, it will only encourage party leaders to run another liberal in 2016.
That's the attitude to have if Romney governs the RINO did in the past. But that was the past, and Romney only ran in MA prior to 2008. Maybe he wss just a politician without real convictions, or his real convictions would have killed him in MA.
I think November could be another wave election in which Obama goes down taking loads of moonbats with him, IMHO. If he has a Conservative Congress, why would Romney want to cross them?
Obama’s base may be comfortably numb given Roberts’ ruling. I wouldn’t be surprised if Romney wins by a significant margin.
If Romney does indeed win, I’m not sure how compliant he’ll be. Mitt will be under the same kind of pressure that compromised the Chief Justice.
I recall the same silly argument in 1992.
