Vote for who ever you like, just realize it will do nothing of value and may very well backfire.

I wish the FSA would stay home but does anyone think that is a good possibility?

I agree philosophically but we all have to face reality.
By which you apparently mean aid and abet the snakes in DC, directly. "Choose wisely" my ass, the important choices have already been made, and not by us. They will use your irrational fear/hatred of Obama, your myopic focus on a lone figurehead. You will capitulate and serve the larger corrupt system that produced Obama in the first place.

If Romney is "good enough" for you to vote for, maybe he's also too good for you. Perhaps next time they can offer much, much worse and you'll still put up with them so long as they're not one of those democrat bogeymen. Someday you'll find the limit of what you'll bend over and accept from your own leadership, I hope that day comes soon.

(edit)Of course all this goes for democrats as well. If the last 4 years has left them still willing to vote for this charlatan they're doing the same damage to the country as any Bush voter. Think your Gore and Kerry votes were meaningless? Believe me those votes were VERY informative to certain interest groups. How low can you go? This game of limbo will go all the way to the bedrock if you let it.

Read a history book sometime for examples of the variety of things that can happen when free citizens collectively forsake their standards of honesty or morality in elected leadership.. When a people are so obsessed with the "enemy" that they lose all other vigilance and perspective, becoming the true worst enemies of their own best interest. This is mind control, a very ancient form of mind control. (edit)I guess I should make a sig rather than doing these rambling reiterations in every political thread..

Congratulations. People may finally be getting it. Took me a bit, too. Voting gives sanction to evil.



That's the best 16 minutes you'll spend all day listening to this.

NO Romney is not "good enough" for me.

He is the most electable and undoubtedly far more conservative and far less dangerous than the alternative.

Your protest vote will say nothing except that you are willing to subject everyone to the worst possible choice.

Until power is rested from the establishment Republicans and the party reformed from within there will be no candidate conservative enough for me who can win.

That can only happen by electing more conservatives and not succumbing to the party bosses and so many in the tea party did.

Unfortunately we are out of time to entertain other options.

Yes, and that will happen if you betray your country and vote for Romney I'm sure.

Those who willingly vote for somebody they KNOW FOR A FACT is an enemy of this country and our Constitution.

Vote for Romney (or any other 'lesser EVIL') and you're a traitor to this nation...simple as that.

Well, I don't think either one of them is conservative...which is more? At this point, I would probably say Obama, he at least hasn't implemented any new gun bans.

IMO, if you're voting for the lesser of two evils, you're still voting for evil. For myself, I will vote (or write-in, if need be) for the man/woman I feel has our country's best interests at heart and is willing to have the difficult discussions with our people. I would rather go down in flames knowing I voted my conscience than to vote for evil, two-faced liars no matter their official political party tag. I will not vote for either them any longer. I "woke up" after the last election and refuse to go back to sleep. Starve the two-headed beast...

I see it similar to a debt snowball...your initial efforts may seem slight and not worthwhile, but over time the momentum builds and soon you're making huge changes rather than small ones. But if you don't at least start with the small payments, you'll never achieve the bigger ones and ultimately reach your debt-free goal.

It's a lousy choice but it still has to be made.

Making yourself feel better with a meaningless protest vote accomplishes the opposite of what you desire.

You feel better and screw everyone else in the process.

Examine your own position carefully and get back to us.

You may be helping the worst possible outcome to become reality.

My lack of support for EVIL does not make me responsible for evil being elected, it makes YOU responsible for voting for it.

Oh but it does. There is no way out of that reality that does not involve delusion.

I think Mark Levin has it about right on this one. He isn't happy with Romney but sees the importance of making sure Obama is NOT reelected.

It's a terrible choice but it is what it is.

Wrong...does it make you feel better to betray your country while blaming the patriots? Unfortunately, this country has few left that care anything about it and many like you who would sell it out to the "lesser evil" that promises to screw you less with the promises of screwing others more. What you'll find in the end, is you get screwed either way, and you screw the rest of us with your blessing.

Yes he is, and you're apparently planning to carve that fact in stone this November. Neither Obama or Romney would have even been nominated if their voter bases had any standards at all.. Or if they hadn't both sold their soul to Wall Street.
