dominicansoul Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 i can't risk that....sadly, voting third party means obama will surely win... we just can't have it... i want to vote third party too, i want to vote ron paul but he just doesn't have the numbers...he's just tooo way behind and obama will clobber romney without our support... ...hopefully, in the years to come, the third party candidate will be a viable contender....

I would encourage all others to do the same. [/quote] I agree. I think that "strategically" voting for Mitt Romney Republicans will delay the inevitable. I get voting strategically and it's a perfectly moral option. It's just not a good strategy IMO. The endgame of our current two-party system is basically the same: as long as moderate GOPs and radical Dems contibue to split the riches, we will eventually end up with limitless amounts of debt and abortion still legal in practically every circumstance. The good news is that the pro-life movement has made progress in spite of the current political climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightofChrist Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I could vote for Mitt Romney if I could actually buy that he is prolife. But I don't believe he is, and my conscience tells me it would be morally illicit to vote for someone I believe to be prochoice and only giving pretense of being prolife. The whole "but he's not Obama" argument would work too if I didn't believe he was just like Obama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still scratching my head as to what it is about him that doesn't get him the votes he needs? Most people i talk to thinks he's nuts... sadly, the votes in these primaries show ron paul dead last almost every time... I would have definitely voted for him in my state's primary (and still will vote for him, if he's still in the race by that time...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r2Dtoo Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) [quote name='KnightofChrist' timestamp='1334084816' post='2415439'] The satan stuff was what a year or two before the election. It was dug up by Romney's character assassins. There's a lot of other bullflop in your post but whatever who cares. [/quote] Thank you for correcting me on the Satan stuff. Care to point out what other "bullflop" my post supposedly is or do you just like denial? You might not like how Rick Santorum is seen. Maybe alot of it isn't true, but that's how Americans see him, and it's Santorum's own fault for playing into the mainstream media's hands.

BG45 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 You have to love, politically, Romney's campaign digging up Santorum's endorsement of him in the last Republican race. Saying Romney was the only true conservative choice. [quote name='brianthephysicist' timestamp='1334086014' post='2415450'] welp...looks like I'm voting 3rd party this year...
