Therefore, I will do my small part and vote for Romney.
I know I sound a little extreme, but Americans need a wake up call. Sometimes, a little destruction is needed, before things can be rebuilt.
Who is with me?
This is a big part of why I voted for Obama last time. If Romney is elected this time my strategy will have been successful.

You know, sometimes revolutions just result in the destruction of the country/empire (or the put-down of the revolters), they don't always result in improvement. I can list 9 off the top of my head that didn't end well for a lot of people (including one in Germany!). I can think of 3 off the top of my head that did end well. I think history would teach us that revolution is only to be used as a last resort, and at your own peril, for it often backfires.
If you think the problems in this country are so severe that we need to self destruct first before we can improve, well there probably isn't much one can say to reason with that sort of extremist position.
