The Tipping Point -- Liberty in the Balance

Maybe all those posting here for a third party candidate are right thinking in the basics of wanting to completely turn around our gubmint. I haven't studied the others and most likely a lot of us haven't either. HOWEVER-- no one has given the very best argument for voting for Romney so I will. The main issue here is TIMING.

The population must evolve in their thinking. The tide is turning back very slowly, and for some, it is way too slowly. I can understand the frustration but I cannot see the lack of patience as being beneficial. The leviathan that we have today simply CANNOT be destroyed or remade by any one man in ANY office. This is going to take an informed electorate who make their feelings known from the local up to the federal level. We must elect State legislatures and governors who insist on 10th amendment adherence; to get there we need pressure from the towns, cities, and counties. Then we need to send these good people to the U.S. Congress. From all of these people, committed to essential liberty, we need to select a candidate for President. The rebuilding of this country under the Supreme Law of the Land requires trickle up government. We simply do not have a strong base upon which to build. Yes, we have some really decent liberty loving people in office but certainly not near enough to stem the tide or even more so challenge the bureaucracies now in place. The task before us is a monumental one starting with educating our young in civics, American history, and the Constitution. That will be a huge task in itself. I fear those who are the entitlement generation of today will merely have to die off as most are ignorant, corrupted, or simply brainwashed--- beyond rescue and through no real fault of their own. So, the timing is wrong for a third party candidate no matter how right thinking he or she may be. Romney cannot "do it all" but he can be the start of something good. Is he perfect? No, but is right for our time? ABSOLUTELY! The alternative is taking us further down the rathole and because the timing is wrong, a vote for a third party candidate is either a waste of your vote or a de facto vote for Olahblah. What third party adherents do is akin to wanting to put the roof on the house before the foundation is set-- it simply cannot work. I won't live long enough to see the dramatic change but I will go to my grave knowing I did my part to return this country to what it once was. I will vote foe Romney.
