I have a friend on Facebook, a younger guy who actually rented a room in my house about 20 years ago while he was going to college, and I've always considered him to be an intelligent and very smart guy, but I think he's an Obama voter. I don't get it. He says he's an independent voter.
He will occasionally post comments to links I have posted on my wall. The other night he asked how any Romney voter could ignore his past views on gun control, and that I should research his past record and views on the 2nd amendment.
I tell him every time he brings up one of these issues that Romney is not my ideal candidate and not most conservatives' choice for our nominee but he is exponentially better than Obama and in fact, my mantra is ANYBODY BUT OBAMA. Yet, he continues to challenge me on why I would vote for Romney.
I still maintain that Romney is not my ideal candidate but he will have no choice but to go further right and conservative when it comes to being president. As quickly as most conservatives have tried to embrace him, if he goes back on his word, they will just as quickly reject him. This country will be relying on him to bring back some fiscal sanity and if he doesn't accomplish that pretty quickly, he will be a failure.
