Ohio Republicans Should
Vote for Johnson

GOP Sees Path to Romney
Victory Without Ohio

If
the headline is true, and the GOP and the Romney campaign team are calculating
a victory sans Ohio, then the implication is that they cede the state to Obama.
Dedicated Republicans, liberty lovers and GOP Kool-Aid drinkers should take
note and pursue a strategy that moves the cause of liberty forward while
simultaneously sticking the shiv into the Obama campaign. Vote for liberty
while confounding the leftists and statists.
Another
benefit for Republican support of Gary Johnson is that it will discredit the
establishment GOP power structure in Ohio. These are the RINO’s who have systematically
and consistently thwarted Tea Party and liberty efforts to promote and elect
constitutional candidates. Those of us who value liberty and constitutional
governance more than simple political expediency have tolerated the “lesser of
two evils” theme for decades. Now…we should turn the tables on those who claim
to cherish the Constitution and freedom. If Romney and the GOP Establishment
have indeed given up on Ohio, wouldn’t a migration to a constitutional
third-party candidate make sense? You could join those disaffected Democrats
who seek an alternative to their Marxist wonder boy, but cannot completely
cross the line to vote for an apparent losing (in the state) Republican. It’s a
win-win-win…. For constitutional republicans, discouraged democrats and
liberty-loving libertarians….oh yes, another win for our state and our nation
as the demand for smaller responsible government echoes across the land.
Some
newer polls that were released on Sunday suggest that Romney may have a slight
lead in Ohio. If true and verifiable, the Romney campaign crew will probably
dump huge resources into the Buckeye state to solidify the “lean.” If this
scenario should develop, then you should vote for the liberty candidate because
the GOP won’t need you. Either way….your most reasonable option, and the best
alternative for defeating leftists and RINO’s is to vote for liberty. On the
other hand, if you truly enjoy the taste of Kool-Aid, then continue to support
the same inexorable slide into socialism that has served us so poorly for the
past century. Socialism is not a matter of degree. It is an absolute as
government controls the people and the means of production. Whether one reaches
socialist nirvana via the fast track or the incremental one is meaningless. The
end result….the bottom line….the final outcome is the same. To prefer the
slower route is an amazingly selfish point-of-view because you are enjoy a
little bit of our remaining liberty so that your children and grandchildren can
be enslaved. Delaying the inevitable always leads to the inevitable. The only
variable is the length of the delay.
