The problem is if Romney becomes the Republican nominee, you must vote for him or Obama gets re-elected. It's as simple as that.

I think I'm just going to sit this one out.

I believe that God has already decreed the outcome, I also believe that He will confront the man He has chosen with the Truth, and place choices before him which will determine how God deals with this country. I believe God did that with Obama, and Obama blew it. Obama chose poorly, because he could not and would not abandon his Muslim upbringing, and his political beliefs. Our current President may claim to be a Christian, but his actions prove otherwise. Our country has suffered greatly because of it. God has it under control, and all will unfold as He has determined, despite what a rebellious group of America-haters think to do.

I'm not happy with the idea of Romney as the nominee, and I still believe that it is not a foregone conclusion that he has to be it. The mainstream media seem to think they have the right to choose our candidate for us, most likely because of the ingrained belief among Leftists that the majority of people are too stupid to run their own lives, or choose their own candidates for office, and need the Leftists' "benevolent" oversight and direction. In that, they are wrong, and God is still in control.

I don't like the idea of a Mormon as President, but if it's a choice between a Mormon and a Communist, I'll reluctantly vote for the Mormon, and then pray like crazy that God draws him out of his Mormonism, and into the Truth. I do strongly believe that voting third party, write-in, or not voting at all is a defacto vote for Obama. As someone else has said, we;re not voting for a church leader, we're voting for a political leader, and flaws and all, we have a slightly better chance with a guy whose beliefs may be a perverted form of pseudo-Christianity than we do with a guy who has shown himself to be, at heart, a Muslim.

:thumbsup: Well said brother, pretty much sums up my thoughts and feelings.

That's the way I see it, IMHO Obama is the worst president in the history of our country, I won't say I loathe him, that would not be Christian but I really, really feel strongly that he needs to be kicked out of office before he can cause more damage.

I agree with everything you have said, I can't add anything because your feelings are the exact same as mine.

Well, that's your privilege and right, but it's one less vote for the Republican nominee. With the "Chicago-style" politics we have now, one vote means a lot in these close races.

I do believe God has already chosen our next leader, just as He chose our last, President Obama. His ways are above our ways.

This also is true and America doesn't seem to be on the verge of repenting.

I pray that those who can't seem to make a decision and are planning to not vote... will change their minds.

I personally believe it's a sin to not vote. When you have a right but don't use it, you end up losing it...the right to vote is a big one, imo. Your voice needs to be heard, and don't think that one or two votes don't count (speaking from chad Florida)...

I was thinking of voting in a Mormon only so the US wouldn't be without a president when the rapture occurs... but won't be because when I put the president's policies / views next to the Mormon's who's running... take away the names and you can't tell which is which (well, I can't really)...and I know how much the governor ruined MA. I wasn't even going to consider the other who dropped out this week, as he was the ambassador to China when all the imbalanced trade agreements were made. :( (Well, maybe not all...)

But you do need to vote. God moves people to vote...I doubt He leaves anyone out. ;)

I find it hard to believe you can see no difference between Romney and Obama regarding policy matters, one believes the federal government is the answer to all our problems, the other believes the individual and private enterprise is what has made this country what it is.

Sitting out the election is a vote for President Obama.
Unfortuantelly so is writing in a third party. Unless and untill a third party is strong enough to actually get a presidential candidate elected it is always going to split the republican vote and ensure the democrats a victory. Obama wants to run against Romney with everything that is in him precisely because he hopes to split the vote. He wants to negate the christian base of the republican party.

I'd agree with that analysis. A lot of people seem to be having all sorts of ethical problems with Gingrich, which puzzles me somewhat, because there isn't a one of us who hasn't had moral failings in their lives. Not to mention that the latest attack against him is proving to be nothing but lies and a blatantly obvious attempt to take him out, lest he actually win the nomination. Last night's debate performance (the opening bit) was amazing, as Newt pretty much handed John King his head AND his butt, over opening the Presidential debate with the charges against him, which Newt then categorically denied. I see here a man who has nothing to lose, so he's telling things like they are. I am impressed.

I would vote for Newt, warts and all, over Romney any day! And if it is Newt against Obama, I think Newt could win in a landslide. I think the Dems should be very, very worried (and I think they are).

At this point I think Newt is our best choice. He is a politician of course but so are all the rest. If he can win the nomination against the republican elite's coronated and crowned candidate I belive he will gather in the true conservative base and beat Mr. Obasma handily.
