My vote was changed from going-to-sit-this-one-out to 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.

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.

Some of us have simply turned our time in politics to other things besides politics: such as gardening, family, church, "to do" lists, etc. I am one of them.

As a social conservative, Romney has gone beyond the point of support from my standpoint. More than that, though, is the idea of direction and drift. The Party continues to drift leftward to the point that it has left people like me behind. If it can convince people to vote for someone from the moderate wing of the Party in 2000 (George W.) and the left end of the Party in 2008 (McCain) and the far left end of the Party (Romney) in this election, I see little hope in the current approach to "voting for the lesser of the two evils".

If Romney wins, I still lose. His values are not my values. When (if) the Party puts someone forward that I can support, I will vote for them. Until then, I have plenty of other things to keep my busy.

I would wait and respond, but I am meeting my wife for breakfast. With the choices that the Party has put forward, it beats politics by a long way.
