He has won my vote also, and in a special way, after adding on Rep. Paul Ryan.
I was always ABO but the Ryan choice made me actually pro-Romney.
Another thinking American comes to his senses.
I have noticed that the FReepers that hate Romney and are going to "sit this one out" have steadily decreased in their rants, and the ones that are still hold outs are running out of ammo and food and water.
There will always be a few left, like the Japanese soldiers on some lost island.
Romney has had my vote since day one, to begin with because he was not Obama and now i believe because he is Romney.
I see a few Romney signs here in my town but i have not saw any Obama signs which is a change from four years ago.
Although that does not necessarily mean anything because the socialists are mostly in the Denver and Colo springs area.
A couple of things solidified my vote. There was still a slim chance I was going to go third party if Pennsylvania was a runaway Obama state anyway. And then the Dems booed Israel at their convention. Horrifying. I knew then I had to vote Romney. Then, the Sept. 11 massacre and Obama handled it like an idiot. I was proud of Romney’s response. Even my wife - who was always going to go third party (Constitution) - is now voting Romney.
However....
Obama and the demonRats are so reprehensible, I could not see myself standing before the Lord God and trying to explain why I didn't do everything I could to get the most evil people I know out of power.
Obama is the epitome of evil along with his anti-god party.
Actually, those of us sticking to our principles are silent because unlike many, we choose not to crap on Jim’s floor. When he chose to support Romney, we had a choice. Act like DUers or retain some decency and take our opinions on the subject elsewhere and not further contribute to an already raging civil war..
Plenty of reason to not support that which goes against every conservative principle. But your vote is your choice.
I will digest this later, I am still wavering.
Romney is not my ideal Candidate by any stretch of the imagination. But I fear that sitting it out is a vote for Obozo. The thing that solidified my vote was the Ryan pick and his performance awt the debate.
Good post.
That’s about the way I feel too, although Romney certainly mouthed all the right words at the debate. And for those who are quick to cry “traitor” at anyone who does not rush to embrace Romney, let me remind you that there are more elections on this ballot than just the presidency. It is also important that conservatives strengthen our presence in the House and add to our numbers in the Senate.
if Romney kicks BO’s butt this next round as badly as he did in Round 1, I could almost see myself voting for him. But I would do so not in the blind faith that he’s a conservative, but in the full realization that I was participating in the gradual demise of our country.
Hold your nose if you have to.
Perhaps we should think of it as slowing the demise of our country; it must be slowed before it can be stopped and then reversed.
I wasn’t a Romney fan, but I’ve come around.
Adding Ryan to the ticket helped a lot.
If he does nothing else but make good his intention to make us energy independent, even if he doesn’t get us all the way there, he will have changed the country for the good immeasurably, IMHO.

I understand your sense of disgust about Romney, but do either of you care about the future of your children and/or grand children?
Every reason you give for not voting for Romney to get rid of obama, is magnified thousands of times if obama wins and those future generations will pay the price.
Go have breakfast with your wife and do some gardening, and pretend that there is a moral equivalence between Romney/obama and then your conscience won't keep you awake at night, and you will have "remained true to your principles".
Yes, there are so many reasons conservatives are not happy with Romney as the GOP nominee. But I see this as a battle that we have been losing for 50 years. Every RINO compromise, every conciliation and every deal made in a bi-partisan manner has favored the liberal socialists and stomped on the Constitution. All of this aided by a liberal biased press. The cards have been stacked. The Tea Party has begun to change the dynamic but we are not there yet. It is going to take a concerted long term effort to get this country back. The key being the Tea Party to hold people accountable. In my mind Romney is just a start, Not the best but start nonetheless. Our next goal should be to dismantle the liberal media and level the information playing field. It has to be a combined assault on the entire left propaganda machine. We need to get to the point where we demand that our tax dollars are not used to indoctrinate kids at universities and public schools. Our problems and challenges are so large in the long term that at this point Romney is just a beginning. Just the fact that i have a son serving overseas is enough to vote for Romney because of the the bammer’s complete betrayal of our military. In my opinion sitting this one out just doesn’t make sense.
