Yes and if I vote for Romney the Bush/Obama big government agenda will stay in power also. What is the difference between the two men? And why is it that I have to toe the line with the majority? Do I not have a voice? Should I not make a stand? Should I not stand up for principles? Should I not stand for real capitalism, real free markets and the constitution? The facts that I have found are that neither of these men respect or stick to the constitution and both use government rules to their advantage.
I don't see the difference in either of them. Perhaps one is simply a better liar? But the evidence I've found shows that they are both as bad as each other.
Oh I abhor Obama, but I won't vote for Romney just to oust him. It's a nasty little game the powers that be have played on us, and I refuse to co-operate. But rather than simply shrug, there is a third option. There is only one candidate on the ballot that stands for free markets and the constitution, and that’s Gary Johnson. If there hadn’t been so much corruption in the Republican Party, I would happily have voted for Ron Paul as the republican nominee, but that is not the case. Yes, you’re right about Obama, but I do not see Romney being any better.
Then I strongly urge you to re-evaluate Obama before you vote. I don't deny that the entire scale is tipped left and Romney is a Massachusetts Republican, but Barack Obama is the first president who does not hold reverence for the founding and ideals of America (to state it lightly).
I'd rather go with this: "Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - Johny Quincy Adams
Mitt Romney is almost identical to Barack Obama on every issue. To call Mitt Romney a capitalist is a joke. He made his profits through Bain Capital by pull not through production. I think Ayn Rand would be ashamed of the ‘two choices’ we have for president this season. The libertarian movement is growing; from within the republican party, and from the outside also. It is only a matter of time now. I doubt that a Romney presidency will do much if anything to alter the Bush/Obama agenda of big government, wars and bailouts. A free market must be supported by a free society. Unfortunately both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama have shown a track record for ignoring the constitution and crippling the free market through taxation, regulations and borrowing. I will be one of ‘the small drops’ who votes third party to start a counter revolution against the looters of the republican party (Paul Ryan AKA Mr Auto Bailout included) and the moochers of the democrat party.
One thing to ask yourself is this; “what if we were given the choice of Romney to pit us against each other, to make us think that Romney is for free markets, so that we’ll subdue the real freedom movement of libertarian/republican candidates like Gary Johnson and Ron Paul, so that the powers that be can continue to push their power grabbing and looting agendas without real opposition?”
From an unbiased and literal standpoint, using facts and figures, Romney and Obama are almost one and the same. Yes, vote on principles, but not for the lesser of two evils.
I think the deciding factor will be the senators and congressmen we elect. That is where the Tea Parties and Objectivist supporters can really make a huge difference.
Yep. It's a great post. It'll show up in the "New" area as well and with enough upvotes, it could also land on the home page / hot list. I'm betting we'll see it there shortly if it's not made its way there already.

This post should be sufficient.
