What’s it all about? Here it is!

What’s it all about? Here it is!

I’m a bit tired of hearing of the “Principled” voters in this 2012 election cycle. Those who would stay home rather than vote for Romney (Who by all measures will be the Republican nominee) Most of those who say this are Ron Paul supporters. While I can understand the sentiment I ask that those of you understand a couple of things:

#1. The top of the ticket is only part of what this election is about:

Vice President of the United States
Joseph R. Biden

Department of State
Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton

The following positions have the status of Cabinet-rank:

United States Trade Representative

Small Business Administration

All of these go when the head of the ticket is gone. These are the people who Advise and carry out orders of Obama. These are the people behind the curtain and these folks are just as responsible for the state of the nation as Obama is.

#2. We can be the agent of change in the R party only if the R party is in power. We can’t expect for the R party to be stronger by allowing the D’s to win in 2012. The dangers of another 4 years of Obama outweigh any benefits of “Principled” vote. While in 08 we abandoned the GOP and gave up any power in DC. We saw what that was like. We also put pressure in the GOP in 2010. It has not gone as well as we’d like but it’s moving (Or STOPPING) in the right direction.

#3. When we allowed Obama to gain control we forfeited 2 SCOTUS picks. And by most accounts it was a wash as far as we were concerned. But Had we given the GOP a win in 08 we’d have set the SCOTUS RIGHT for many years to come. We lost that. But we also sent a message then.

#4. A vote for Romney isn’t an “unprincipled” vote, it’s a vote for a different direction. That’s it. It’s saying okay, lets give this guy a chance because Obama is NOT a leader. If that’s the only reason to vote Romney I’m good with it. But there’s many more IMO.

#5 Remember politics is a chess match. We didn’t get to this point in our nation in a few years, we got here over a lot of time. We had a real harsh setback in 08 because of many reasons. NOW after 4 years of Obama we the people recognize the danger of another four years of his leadership team.

Please consider the big picture when we cast our votes in November. No matter what happens between now and then, remember the true enemy of our nation is at the top of the helm now. Please folks this is a life changing time we live in. Don’t leave this nation an obamanation for my grandkids. We need to rise up and “Occupy” the government at the ballot box.
