I see you put some thought into your protest vote. Now, I hope you put more thought into 2016: there are good conservative choices: Scott Walker. Mike Pence. Bobby Jindal. Chris Christie. Ted Cruz. Rand Paul.

Why do you keep claiming the “protest vote”, while at the same time stating that you believed that Romney was worse than Obama? Your vote was a de facto support for Obama, because you thought Romney was worse.
As I said before, I have more respect for someone who voted for someone unelectable that they felt lined up with their Catholic beliefs. To keep claiming “I don’t support the Green Party” while voting for a Green Party member is odd. Why would you vote for someone you don’t support? How does that actually form a “protest.” Nutty.

That is a myth. I am liberal on some issues and conservative on others. I mainly vote on social issues, and am conservative on those issues, but I am liberal populist on economic policy and libertarian on government scope issues.
I was NEVER considering voting for Romney and I am hardly alone on that. Romney was such a poor candidate that even after 4 years of Obama FEWER people voted for Romney than voted for McCain.
I cant imagine how the GOP could be so stupid as to renominate that loser, but they might.

Got it. You made it clear in your post. You thought Romney was worse than Obama, so you made a bogus “protest vote” to make sure Romney didn’t get your support. Happy you! Obama won.

WHAT? Because I thought that Romney was worse than Obama my vote for a third candidate meant that Obama won because I didn’t vote for Romney?
This is funny. I might not get to sleep any time soon tonight.IF I have to essplain it to you any further then there really is not a point to it at all.

It wouldn’t have mattered if Obama won or Romney won; either way AMERICA LOST.

Agreed. You don’t understand basic election math. But, again, you clearly stated that you thought Obama was better than Romney, so you got what you wanted. You should be pleased.WHAT? Because I thought that Romney was worse than Obama my vote for a third candidate meant that Obama won because I didn’t vote for Romney?

No, sir. America would have been better off with Romney. The majority even agree with that now, but you persist in your pro-Obama stance, apparently.

I think Romney’s loss has less to do with not appealing to the likes of voters like you (which are pretty small in number I think) and more to do with the huge numbers of people receiving entitlements (record #‘s of people getting foodstamps, e.g.) who voted for the party/candidate which would continue the entitlements and not cut them. I believe that Romney had said that he would cut unnecessary spending and that probably scared them a bit. The source of the Democrats’ power is entitlements. They are also looking to add more immigrants to the voter rolls and entitlement receivers.

Any of these named men are likely to get my vote if they have the nomination 2016, with the exception of Chris Christy.
Christy is a RINO, and not voting for Romney should he get it again.
Yes to Jeb Bush and Mark Rubio though I think Jindal, Paul, Santorum and Cruz have a better shot.

Come to think of it, I have more respect with Catholics who voted for Obama based on their convictions, than someone who voted for someone they supposedly don’t support because it was a “protest vote.” Sheesh.

Yes. Obama won. And ultimately for any Catholic voter who didn’t effectively oppose Obama - shame on them.

Republicans have shut down a number of abortion mills, Romney ran at the top of the party, he supported the platform, he was pro-life. Planned Parenthood campaigned against him saying he’d try to overturn Roe v. Wade and spent millions on this. Romney received the endorsements of pro-life groups.
This is versus your point of view that just says “I don’t trust him”, okay, that is your opinion but I definitely think disparaging him is self-serving and it does ally yourself with critics of Romney such as the Pro-Choicers and Planned Parenthood. This is a fact as well. You are only able to say “I don’t trust him”.
So then, why is your opinion more trustworthy or rational than Pro-Life groups that endorsed him? To me, they are equal but I will go with the opinion that would serve to further the pro-life cause as Jesus does say we should trust others.

I assure you, the feeling is mutual. By all means, I hope the nominee meets with your approval this time, so you don’t have to vote for someone else you don’t support to help the Democrat get elected. I wouldn’t want you to vote for someone you don’t support again to elect someone you don’t support. :whacky:I apologize if I have given you the impression that I covet your respect for my voting record.

You mean ‘election myth’.
IT is also funny that partisan supporters always argue that a vote for third parties is a loss for votes for THEIR candidate.
Maybe my vote for the Greens was a loss of a vote for Obama instead of Romney?
There was no way on Gods Green Earth I will EVER vote for Romney. Not in 2008, 2012, or 2016. Period. I would far rather vote for a third Obama term before I would vote for Romney.No, Obama is not what I wanted. You don’t seem to read English very well.
