Anyone but Obama?

The meme is being recycled again this election: "Voting third party is the same as voting for Obama."

We've heard it before. You have to vote for whichever big government statist the GOP establishment has chosen...or you'll get the socialist put forth by the Democrats.

Conservatives tell me that Romney isn't who they wanted, but not voting for him is "doing nothing."

"Doing nothing?" Au contraire.

Ceasing to enable an addict isn't "doing nothing." In fact it is very proactive.

The GOP has established a pattern of forcing big government candidates on us: Nixon, Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney. It is because the GOP promotes all the awful things over which it claims to oppose the Democrats that increasingly worse candidates from that party are made electable: Carter, Clinton, Obama. Obama couldn't have been elected had not the Republicans made much of his agenda the norm.

Plainly stated: George W. Bush made Obama electable. Mitt Romney may very well make Lucifer electable.

Therefore, I respectfully disagree that refusing to vote for someone just because he's "not Obama" is "doing nothing."
