How can any right thinking Christian, conservative or tea party supporter justify voting for Romney?
Romney is an empty suit. A complete fraud. Worse, he's anti-tea party, anti-conservative, anti-liberty! He has absolutely zero conservative accomplishments to his name. His ONLY accomplishments in government are liberal, ie, tax payer funded abortion, gay marriage, gun control, RomneyCare, mandates, etc. He is Obama-lite.
Are these voters uninformed, terrified, brainwashed, or just plain nuts?

There are some on this site who think he is WORSE than Obama. It warrants further thought.

Im a right-thinking Christian conservative Tea Party supporting Floridian who is ashamed to be a part of this. I proudly voted for Newt, manned phones for a few hours this afternoon and even drove some folks to the polls.
Not sure if theres much left of our Republic to warrant anymore fighting.

I dont see how any Christian could vote for Romney at all, or any conservative vote for Romney either.
The guy thinks he is the fulfillment of prophecy and thus deserves to be POTUS.
Im disgusted by Florida.

Newt Gingrich won the Christian, Evangelical vote. There weren't enough of them.
.
This primary makes me sick. Newt was the happy warrior.
All positive with his 2012 Contract of real solutions, and he was running away with the nomination.
That wouldn't do! That interrupted Romney's 6 year plan for the presidency, so he went scorched earth and Santorum was the beneficiary in Iowa.
Now, instead of coalescing around Newt Gingrich to stop Romney, Santorum is attacking Newt Gingrich in Colorado and Nevada with scorched earth, but NOT attacking Romney!!

My wife just said she really dislikes Romney if he wins she will not vote. I dont agree with not voting, I will vote for Congressman and Senators but I will find it hard to vote for Romney.

Romney will never get my vote and he cant possibly name a VP to change my mind.
The TEA PARTY is for NEWT Gingrich.
NO enthusiasm for Romney.
NONE!
Its all establishment and manufactured.
RINOS be damned. The GOP can GTH and take Romney with it.

When it comes down to it, the majority of people vote who they are told to vote for or who they are told will more likely win in the general election.
Mittens will most likely receive the nomination.
Those who believe in conservative, founding Father like principles should, on election day in Nov., vote for their local candidates in the county, state, and House/Senate races that they feel comfortable with.
But for President they/we need to make it known to the Repub. Establishment that their efforts will be for not. We should cast a vote for the Constitutional party or other conservative type candidate no matter how fringe people think they are.
If the country is to go down in flames in the coming years, let it be under Zero.
