The Christian Right vote has nowhere to go but Romney if he wins the GOP nomination for President.

Wrong. We can leave the GOP and make them go the way of the whigs. It is time the GOP dies.

Time and past time. The GOP is part and parcel with the leftward drive since the end of WWII.

I agree with your statement that the GOP is part and parcel of the leftward drive of this country since World War II. The last conservative to hold the White House walked out the mansion door on January 20, 1989. I hold little hope for Romney or even Santorum in making significant progress in reducing the size and scope of government. In an ideal world, Ron Paul would be in charge of domestic and economic policy and John Bolton would run foreign policy and defense. That isn't going to happen.

If we compare the track record of the post-World War II Democrats (Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama) with the post-World War II Republicans (Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II), the Democrat grade would be F+ only because Congressional conservatives placed some domestic spending restraints on Truman and Clinton, and the Republicans a C-. (Excluding Reagan, it would be a D-.)

So why bother and not stay home, write-in Herman Cain, or vote for the Libertarian or Constitution candidate? One word: Obama. He is a "red diaper" baby with plenty of ties to Communists, their Muslim allies, and the Chicago Outfit. (BTW, I don't think Breitbart's death was the result of natural causes, nor the suspicious package sent to Limbaugh's Florida home. These tactics smell of the descendants of Al Capone.)

It may be said that voting for someone who will head toward the precipice at 30 mph is little different than one who will drive at 60 mph. However, the slower driver will buy more time. Time can be our ally because events beyond the control of the ruling elites can change the game. Romney or Santorum will at least slow down economic collapse by gutting Obamacare and being more pro-energy than the current regime. Under current circumstances, this is the best we can do.
