I don't really see "evil" as quantifiable, in the sense of being "equally as bad". Rather, when considering Romney, I find that his record shows a distinct trend toward situational integrity. That is sufficient for me to reject him completely as a candidate; he's an empty shell of a man. In other words, I wouldn't select him to feed my critters while I was making my monthly run to town for groceries.
Compare him to Ron Paul, whose record shows a permanent, consistent application of integrity and honesty. He always spoke up for and did what was right (IMHO) and he never changed his positions for political expediency.
It'd be rather refreshing to have someone like that in government.
Couple thoughts...
Romney and Obama may well have different pressure on the gas pedal, but both
will still have the bus heading over the cliff and the disaster at the bottom of the
cliff won't be any different whether you went over cliffs edge at 80 mph or 60 mph.
If you want to suggest we'd have more time with Romney before going over cliff, be
careful cause with Obama gone many who worked against him & his policies will then
go to sleep with a sigh of relief and discover too late that Romney can/will then do or
finish what Obama couldn't. For instance, a Romney administration can/will more easily
get through some new 'reasonable' gun restrictions that Obama would not have dared.
These two guys are like Hitler & Stalin, IMO. Voting for either, win or lose, endorses
who you voted for with a bigger mandate to go forth more boldly doing their evil in
eroding our Constitutional liberties.
Too many people for too many decades have settled for the old 'lessor of two evils'
argument and justly are reaping and fully deserve the evil that that has unleashed.
That won't ever end until enough people start voting their conscience, win or lose.
You'll either be an example & inspiration to others to also begin doing so, when you
do, or you'll be reinforcing the continuation of ever more 'lessor of two evils' slide
downward and the very real evil that inevitably unleashes when you failed to say
"no more".

Thank you Dennis. The goal of lesser of two evils cult, is to find a way to appeal to Christians. Especially the ones that are riding the fence a little, or maybe don't attend church, but had that foundation once as a child. Facebook is riddled with lesser of two evil cults creating a false God (Romney) under the guise of Obama (Devil). The whole lesser evils scheme keeps the two party system in a strong hold.
But they've gotten so sneaky as to not mention Romney, but use the power of suggestion. We've gotta do all we can to keep evil Obama from getting elected, but they'll never go so far as to say how to make that happen. The lesser of two evils cult knows that if they keep pounding that into your head, you'll be voting for Romney.
With Romney being anti-gun, pro abortion and pro gay marriage, you just won't see that being passed around because it's his forbidden evil, and they try to avoid that exposure. Even if it does get brought up, that's when you hear something like, "Yea, but that's better than having Obama for four more years, ha ha ha ha"
What the hell are people thinking when saying that?
And in my opinion, they have a nation of millions following them. I'm amazed at how many I see that are weekly church goers that are caught up in the Evils cult too.
Maybe tshirts, billboards and bumper stickers with our two evil candidates pictures with devils horns and WWJD might wake some of them up.

The whole thing is so simple to me at this time. Both parties are lock, stock and barrel owned by the globalists who are sworn to bring this nation down and indeed with just the fiscal numbers alone it is now inevitable that the collapse is certain. All that you have left now is your integrity. I can't violate my oath to support, protect and preserve. Rulers are chosen by God and not man [multitudes of scripture available] and because of that our course is certain. Yet, I can still do my duty and cast a vote for one who will uphold his oath. Win or lose matters not to me as God is the final arbiter of who assumes power. At the very least I'll know that I have performed my duty and did my part to stem the tide. Hey folks, God has a plan here that is far above our understanding and that plan requires a lot of pain in the short term. [The scriptures can't be broken] We are going to go down this path even though we may scream against it. The end result will be good even though there is a lot of pain in the short term. Hold on to the bigger picture here. For believers we are in the world but not of the world. We fail when we forget that.

The Republican party was much more the traditional conservative republican party of old when he first joined,
also, as it's strayed left over the decades, he's been a growing thorn in the side of the party leadership with
always voting his conscience instead of following the party line. Bush 1 actually supported Davoli (I think was
his name), a democrat who changed to republican, when he ran against RP in the republican primary down here
some years back. I voted for him for years when I was in his Congressional district before re-redistricting, and
local/state republican party hacks down here were rarely ever supportive of him getting re-elected again. He'd
continually shame them all with his call to return republican party back to its more traditional conservative roots.

Has Ron Paul left the Republican party or have they left him? The Republican party has changed a great deal since the days of Eisenhower. The first time I voted was in 1980 and the Republicans have changed so much since then you can't even see that they shared the same heritage. So just who has changed....the conservatives or the party?

First of all I don't think that a fair election is going to happen - period.
But just for grins assume it would.
Assuming that Romney would win do you really believe that he would destroy the US as fast as obama?
If your choice would be between two who will destroy the country but one would take a couple of years longer - would you vote for the longer route? Or would you prefer to vote for a real live conservative who has no chance period.
What country do you think is safe?
Assuming that Romney would win do you really believe that he would destroy the US as fast as obama?
Yes, absolutely. He'd just have a slightly different approach.
If your choice would be between two who will destroy the country but one would take a couple of years longer - would you vote for the longer route?
No. Why would I? Why would ANYONE if they know that to continue playing the "election game" would be to continue over the cliff?
Or would you prefer to vote for a real live conservative who has no chance period.
Yes, in a heartbeat. And so would anyone with half a brain. Because if everyone did that, the person would win by a landslide. But of course, you already know that, and are just trying to make your sheep self feel better about "not wasting your vote," even though that vote is killing us.
My personal opinion is that I don't feel as though I can take four more years of Holder's InJustice department. My fellow citizenry cannot afford four more years of Napolitano and the department of Homeland Security protecting us by taking our freedoms. Our economy cannot withstand another four year assult by Turbo Timmy and his bumbling incompetence. I personally cannot abide the assult on my personal religion (Roman Catholic) by Seblilius and the department of Health and Human Services for four more years. Our energy grid cannot withstand another four years of Chu and his department of non-Energy. And I could go on and on. This isn't even counting all the "czars" that make policy but have never, ever been voted on by We the People or our elected representatives.
With the latest ruling on Obamacare, our highest court in the land has shown it's complexion has changed. There are still good people on this court but can we really afford to swing the balance more to the left by another Obama appointment? If that happens, that is the end of the ball game for sure. Might as well pack it up and take cover.
It is my personal opinion (and you can call me brainless traitor if it makes you feel better) is that Obama's gotta go. I personally don't feel that I can afford the luxury of voting for the person I really, really want. (Heck, Cain was my guy. See what happened to him when he became too much of a threat.) If Paul get's the nod from the RNC...wonderful...great. He's got my vote. (Although I feel he'd be more effective on the floor of Congress raising hell. Maybe that's what he needs to do more of. Grandma always said, it's the squeeky wheel that get's oiled.) If Romney get's the nod...fine. He's got my vote. If Ted Nuggent would get the nomination...Whooopie!!!! He'd get my vote, my support and my first born!
My own personal mantra this election season is "DUMP THE INCUMBENT". Any candidate for president, senator, representative, judge, sheriff, county board, police cheif, mayor, county clerk, secretary of state, governor, or dog catcher that are already in office will get the "no" from me. I'm cleaning house. Join me if you want to.

The Lesser of Two Evils Is...Still Evil
Let me make this as clear as I can. IMHO
Romney can't beat Obama. That's why he was selected.
Dennis, I'm not a fool or a sheep. And I am not responsible for the situation we're in today. Tuvia is right...we have 2 choices and although Romney wasn't my choice in the primaries I will vote for him against Obama. I think anyone who doesn't vote should not complain about the President they get or what he does to our country.They threw away their vote and deserve what they get.

Sheez.... I was ready to back you up until you hit that ridiculous note strummed by all the lamestream media. I still think you are wrong, but you are welcome to be wrong until you wake up. But since when does anyone forfeit their right to complain when the controlling elite offer two traitorous puppets that I would not elect as sanitations engineer?
You're actually right...I shouldn't have said that because I know if I thought one was just as bad as the other I wouldn't vote for either one.
I don't think we'll survive as a country if Obama has 4 more years but I also don't think Romney will be anywhere near as bad as Obama. Who knows for sure?

Puppets are correct.
Obamation=puppet #1
Romination=puppet #2
Only non puppet is Ron Paul who is not going to run for congress again. He has been head butting those RINOS for years without much support from congress OR the people of the USA. The only way he can get done what needs to get done is to be our President.
Personally those who choose the lessor of, are exactly what Dennis said. Stoopid sheep who believe what the pundits say about throwing their vote away.
As long as you continue to watch FAUX news and listen to those same type RINOS on the radio you are swallowing swill....

I probably made a mistake in creating this post. I was worried about sticking my neck out and getting it chopped off. Perhaps this reply is yet another mistake.
Anyway, I just wanted to assure you that I am not, in fact a shill, though I doubt that I would be able to prove that to you. I was a Ron Paul delegate at one time to my state convention (2008). I am not a delegate this year, because I had a conflict the night of the caucus. I also started a company a few years back with a friend sinking my own money into it to attempt to educate people on constitutional ideals (it didn't get very far.) I have put forth effort in the areas that might actually make a difference to try and promote the "good" candidates before it gets to the point where it is too late (the national election). I've seen so many people complain that they hate the candidates on the ballot but have never lifted a finger to change that, as though good candidates magically appear on the ballot without a lot of work in advance.
I had been a lurker for many years and wanted to finally join the community to discuss prepping related issues. Even though I am new as an official member, I felt a conviction to make the post that I did, and I believed that I had written it in an almost completely academic fashion so as to avoid emotional reactions and have a rational discussion. Apparently I was wrong.
Roberts has become the wild card for sure. But Zero's picks of Sotomayor and Kagan leave absolutely no doubt what he would pick to replace Ginsberg if given a chance. And remember nominating and getting a confirmation are two totally different things.
Clean house, people!!

Tuvia,
Didn't your mama tell you not to talk about religion or politics with strangers?
Now you know why....academic? (Piper snickers...)
Dude, the Republic is toast, the dollar is done, our enemies are circling... Dennis is exactly correct. You really need to get out more. Ever read Atlas Shrugged? That's about the size of it, and being an Eddie hanging on to the last shred of optimism will have only one result, death.
Myself, it is time to unwrap the flag from the cross, and let your light shine through. To understand that the lesser of two evils, enables evil, and that evil attaches itself to you. Is it a 'sin' to vote for the wrong choice? That's a trick question, its a sin to enable evil WHEN you KNOW what you're doing... thus, I can no longer support the lesser of two evils system.
Ron Paul, although my first choice, is just not the messenger for the message, too ugly, too old. People vote for stupid reasons I've discovered.
Sarah Palin has spunk, charm, she goes after corruption even in her own party, is witty, has personal integrity, and was a target of the Establishment, she didn't run this time because she knew her family was in danger... this country is run by evil men for evil purposes, themselves. Regardless of who is in charge of the White House, the Central Kabuki theater company in Washington DC will go on, until it stops. She frightens them to death, because she's real. It doesn't matter how you feel about her, she was the heir apparent of the Republican party, and they diss her as well as Paul... that's all I need to know....
There is no 'liberty movement' or Christian Patriot community in this country, there are only a large herd of cats.
If that herd of cats, was herded in the single direction of 'Write in Sarah', and even if just the independents, a small number of dems and a high fraction of the repubs did it, the entire election process would be thrown into the wind, crisis time.... think Bush V Gore in oh...20 states...
And the Dark man would declare ...hmm .. what could he do? Declare an invalid election? How could they avoid counting millions of write in votes?
At the end of the day, a bottom up write in campaign is the ONLY way to bypass the Establishment. To write her in would be like assigning an angel of God to fly over DC and NY and rain death from the sky. The shrieking would be heard to the moon. The Secret service would have to assign her a detail, the wailing and gnashing of teeth would grind it all to a halt and thuds would be heard raining off the TBTF skyscrapers in NY... the blacks would go nuts and declare it a racial conspiracy, and the dems would go catatonic...
Sounds like great fun... all Sarah would have to do is come on TV and say "I'm flattered", wave them pretty eyelashes, and sit back to watch the lawyers grind it all to a halt... I wonder if total chaos would ensue... a fun show to watch as we circle the drain.
A good way to kick some establishment cahunes... and go out in style.
But no, we ain't gonna get together to do anything...nuthin, nada, zip, because our very intelligence and individuality is our Achilles heel, and evil knows, we are an army of cats.
While the forces of evil will do what? Get together, at least for the election...
Translation of OP: The Party is more important than the man, the country, or the Consitution. It is far more important than your conscience or doing the right thing.
The Party must triumph over the other Party!
I recall other countries where Party took precedence, such as the Nazi Party, the Communist Party, the Baath Party. Loyalty to political parties over justice, truth, and county always works out badly and I don't see American electoral politics doing anything but pandering pre-election, then continuing the destructive core policies in this country which are geared to benefit those at the top.
To me it doesn't matter which bank-backed free trade globalist totatlitarian lying piece of shit gets elected. It will just be a different face on the same monster.
We got here by people voting for the lesser of two evils. And by AMericans allowing themselves to be told what to think and not thinking for themselves.
The status quo MSM rules most people's thoughts. They seem to be incapable of imagining anything but Ds and Rs who represnt the same macro interests and those aren't the interests of working Americans.
They are the interests of the FSA. The left caters to the lower rungs of the FSA, while the right caters to the highest rungs. Each loves to point out the others' FSA and blame them for all the problems.
See the point people are missing is that the FSA is multinationals, it is the insurance industry, it is big pharm, it is the auto industry, it is government employees, it is Wall St. It is the welfare queens, the people on medicaid, disability, welfare, food stamps.
Both sides love to demonize the other without acknowledging they support the same principles.
Just look at Mitt's budget plan. $100B in cuts?when the current deficit is $1500 B.
Fiscal conservative?
If you believe that then pass me whatever you're drinking or snorting, because there is no marijuana in the world that's strong enough to completely subvert reality displayed by the charts of US government deficit spending under both R's and D's.

Yeah, that is so obvious that it's pitiful. It's simply a repeat of the past. Look who they ran against Obama last time. Was McSame seriously all the Republicans had to run against Bama? And even before that remember when the Republicans trotted out Bob Dole to run against Klinton for the second term? I mean really..........

Don't worry Tuvia. This goes on every presidential election. Some of the memebers see it as a chance to promote their hero, Paul and resort to name calling in a effort to get other members to come to the light. Other members point fingers and yell things like "vote waster" and blame them for commies like Zero taking up residence at 1600 Pensylvania Ave. Other members proudly claim that they don't believe the whole process is above board and it's fixed, so they refuse to participate and stay home on election day. It takes all kinds.
But after the election, we all come together and b!tch and moan for the next four years because in spite of our best efforts, the whole thing is going down the toliet anyway.

We are being given two poison pills and told you have to choose one. I vote to feed both poison pills to the game master.
So......
Whenever the conventions are over and done with and Ron Paul publicly declares his support for Romney, then he'll be a traitor too?

And if he DOES NOT, will you apologize to the forum for being a jackass?
No, it's not an honest question. It's a borderline troll. I would be absolutely SHOCKED if RP endorsed a Constitution-ass-wiper like Rombama.
