If it is Romney vs Obama. What do you do sit home and let Obama be reelected?
I'll do the same thing I did in 88, 92, 04, and 08 -- find a third party candidate I like and vote for him.
I'm not voting for another liberal Republican. Liberal Republicans are worse than liberal Democrats because we don't have any defense again them.
If Obama is reelected and further wrecks the economy, it will provide clarity to the voters.
If Romney is elected and fails to implement sufficient reforms to really improve the economy, it provides a muddled message to the voters, i.e., the GOP is no better than the Democrats.

I do understand and actually agree with your deconstruction of how our votes for statist/liberal GOP candidates has actually undermined conservatism. I understand how that blind partisanship shuts down opposition to GOP statist policies...
That said, I believe we've already been provided the kind of "clarity" as to who and what 0bama is: A COMMUNIST. We have *never* been faced with a second Presidential term governed by a Communist regime - never mind the first destructive phase. To be honest, we can not nor will we survive the second without blood running in the streets and a total dismantling of the Republic.
I realize some of you might believe it's better to tear down the rotted corpse and start anew, but there is no way this leads anyway, anyhow to a seamless transition of constitutional governance.
QUESTION #1: Can conservatism re-take the GOP and reinstate constitutional law under a Romney regime?
QUESTION #2: Aren't the odds far higher that we do so THIS time around (after having seen the degree of destruction of 0bama's Commie regime?)
Sure, we been given a scripted choice for President, but IMO, the odds are far better of turning things around under Romney. There is not nearly the degree of naivete and ignorance as when fake conservative Dubya Bush was foisted upon us.
Bush I was sold to us as Reagan's heir apparent. I new that this was nonsense from the beginning, so I never voted for the SOB.
Yes, that was the marketing, but how many conservatives really bought in to Poppy's "compassionate conservative" RINO/Statist lingo? Not many.
Moreover, Dukakis was Option "B."
Then they sold us on the notion that Bush II was more like Reagan than his dad.
I agree - more marketing BS. But Dubya ran against Bubba's VP - Algore....and then Kerry. That's called a "checkmate."
The same people who sold us on the two Bush's are now selling us on Romney. We already know that Romney is a flip-flopping waffler.
At his worst, Romney is 100x better than the Commie who hates America. I am NOT giving that America-hating Marxist mofo dictating Kenyan racist another 4 years.
Principle was not voting during the last election; Our point has been made. THIS time around pragmatism is nothing to be ashamed of.

Romneycare is what Obamacare was based on. And Romney is proud of that.
I'll roast in Hell, before Romney ever gets my vote.

Let's face facts, that this is the kind of moral relativism that got us where we are, now. .... Building "consensus," by being (as you put it) "pragmatic."
My signature for my work email, is the following:
To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects. --Margaret Thatcher --
