The fate of the country is at stake? Actually, the fate of the country is sealed. We will be a fascist state regardless of who is elected. The only argument is the pace of our decline, not the reversal.
It's time to be done with "electable" candidates. They are only "electable" because the Establishment can control them. I mean, really. Out of all the Republicans who ran, or could have run for President, we get Romney? Why? Because none of the others were "electable". Who said that? The Establishment. I think they flirted with Rick Perry, until they found out how genuinely stupid he was, but all along, it was going to be Romney.
Only against Obama would Romney be considered the conservative. Don't think Romney is going to save the country, he's not.

Voting for Gary Johnson is quixotic.
We can't avoid a financial meltdown without slashing entitlement spending; the majority of the people won't vote to do it. Obama is implementing Cloward-Piven and is deliberately growing entitlement spending in order to crash the system. At least Romney would try to slow the growth of entitlements and stimulate the private sector. That's the best we can do.
