If Republican/Conservative/TeaHadist voters stood to their principles in 2012, landslide win

for Obama.

I mean, you have those who will vote for the Republican candidate saying "I can't vote for Romney, he's too much of a moderate." or "I can't vote for Santorum because he's unelectable." or "I'm voting for Ron Paul because he's the only one who's a real conservative."

Repubs/Cons/Teahads all say that we "liberals/Dems" will vote like unthinking drones for Obama, but when the "principles" votes will be cast (or not cast, as the case may be), just watch THEM throw their "principles" out the window to "vote out the Kenyan Socialist".

We know that they will do this. They don't have the guts to hold to their principles. If they did, then Obama's a shoo-in.

if they can't cast the vote for their choice for the candidate, then they stay home. Landslide.

Look they voted for W and will do anything to get the R elected. You could put a R behind Obama's name and they would think he was the greatest.
