Teaparty woman on facebook, said today she will not vote because she can't stand Romney!

And voting for him would be hypocritical of her. This is a person I have spent many many many posts challenging her assertions regarding Obama and Romney. I'm not sure how much effect my posts had on her but I'll accept a no vote from a TeaParty whack-job any day. I'm guessing it is because of the republican war on women, not sure though, as she did not elaborate. I gave her a like for that post!

A non-vote for Willard is as good as a vote for the Prez.

Family member I have posted about many times. Straight R voter, but terrified of the teahadists (Sarah Palin horrified her, so there is that).

She was IRATE last week - ranting about Biden being "rude" to that "nice young Congressman" and did a pshaw on the whole calling-out-lies concept. Just ranted about Joe.

BUT - she isn't voting for Romney. Man turns her skin worse than Palin did, so she is just voting down ticket. Tried to talk her into Gary Johnson to send a message, but she isn't down with the Libertarians either.

Holding this in case she wavers, but my question to her would/will be - "If this man is so Conservative, and you believe the country is so majority Conservative, why did he have to tack hard left to try to win?"

Maybe they overestimate the power of the JR Liar's ability to blunt some Teabaggers dislike of Romney?

A non-vote is almost as good as vote for Obama. I have been arguing on FB with ultra-religious types all day and it's completely exhausting. I don't think facts or logic will ever get through to them.

My sister's 92 year old mother in law said after the first one that she was not voting this year because she didn't like romney. First time ever she's not voting.
