I am "Divorcing" the GOP-E and "Republican Party" effective TODAY!
you choose evil if you want to. I will not.
Now go back and climb back on your high horse, and ride off to your ivory tower, climb it, and gaze upon the ruins that Willard will leave us.

Maybe, maybe not, but he sure knows how to run a State into the ground and violate our rights as free people.
GOPe = GOP establishment - powers-that-be, big-wigs.
Voting for Conservative Congressmen is great. Supporting them in your area is admirable.
But, you have forfeited, by virtue of a temper-tantrum, a vote for 1 of 3 divisions of power in the goverment. You don’t get to vote on the Supremes; you only get to vote on the Legislative and Executive branches.
So, you have forfeited a vote on the 50% of the branches of Goverment that you have direct influence on. And, once again ... Obama thanks you.
Remember how close it was with GW Bush and Algore? Just a few thousand votes split them apart, and you are throwing your lot in with the Dems - because you didn’t get your way. Real mature, that’s real good planning ain’t it?
And you call me out for playing the ‘Guilt’ card? I want anyone BUT Obama in the office. Is Romney perfect? Nope, neither was McCain - but both are preferential to what we have now.
No point arguing...I have come to believe that FR has been infiltrated by mischief makers from the left.
The vast majority of conservatives (and we come in all hues) have moved on and will support the most conservative of the 2 choices - the Republican Romney.
I bet if you check the create date on a lot of these so-called conservative, independent, what-have-you freepers, you’ll find that they have joined recently only to stir up the pot.
Sadly, this will continue till the fall, unless Jim puts an end to this...
Don't tell ME what I must do. Romney not Reagan? He's not even Bill Clinton, LOL.
Well, it certainly didn't hurt. But, I think he's shown himself to be at least competent, unlike the current president. Many men have done much less with much more.
That's not the same as being conservative, though.
I don't have an answer. If there were a conservative third party candidate with enough money and credibility to seriously challenge, I'd certainly go for that, but we don't seem to have anyone like that out there.
So, I will probably go ahead and vote against Obama, once again suckered in by the GOP. I don't see any other choice.
“Temper Tantrum Season”
Yeah, you’re right, we shouldn’t give a crap and just vote for whatever the Republican party give us. So much for you being a patriotic American, you’re just a party hack; a vote they can count on no matter what they run. In fact, you don’t mean squat to anyone as your vote is guaranteed and therefore your opion does not matter. So, just stop giving it.
what is gop-e?
Once he's the candidate, Katie bar the door. He'll get trashed so fast that his head will spin.

I use the term to mean those persons who run the GOP’s finances and operations and consider only themselves to be the capable and smarter ones to lead the Republican party and the nation: the elites, the Ivy Leaguers, like the Bushes, primarily Yankees and carpetbaggers.
It is possible to love America completely and yet resist those in power now.
Truly well said.
It’s going to be a long seven months with nothing to talk about except not voting ...
I get being disappointed with Romney. I was a Perry supporter myself and think he would have been a much stronger conservative candidate. But the thing is, Romney got the most votes in the GOP primaries. If a conservative had gotten more votes, we’d have a conservative nominee, it’s as simple as that. Dropping out isn’t going to prove anything.
Already registerd as No Party Affiliation in fLORIDA. I plan on voting for Constitution Party for President. Never vote for Romney no matter who his VP pick is.
I will vote GOP in the Senate race.
I have had it with the national E- GOP
Freegards
Lex
Grand Old Party(”Republicans”)-Establishment(think McCain, Rommney, Bushes, Lugar(IN), Fords etc).
I wrote the same thing yesterday and some offended freepers reported me to the principal.
here is the way i see, let obama have it. the gop didnt/doesnt listen to the tea party they havent learned the leason...even if they did the way the fed gov is its unsustainable period..the only one that slightly address the problem is RP and I dont think even HE can fix it. we will have a collapse tom colburn even says his colleagues in both parties know this but are doing jack all to stave spending infact they are expediting it. let obama and the dems collapse it, unless you want to be on the hook for at least 1 million dollars in national debt...or let romney bring it to failure...see if a republican ever gets elected again.
“At least he understands how to run a business.”
Maybe, maybe not, but he sure knows how to run a State into the ground and violate our rights as free people.

Nobody in their right mind would defend Romneycare, so I am not going to do that. I just think Romney falls closer ideologically to W and H.W. than Obama. In short, we have a better chance getting an Alito or Roberts with Romney...we have zero chance with Obama.
It is what it is. If Romney loses, you, me and everyone else needs to work like hell to get a conservative nominated for 2016. If Romney wins, you, me and everyone else needs to hold his feet to the conservative fire the best we can...maybe we can replace a Harriet Myers with a Samuel Alito again. It’s the only shot we have.
"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” -- John Quincy Adams
I will beat the quote like a dead horse until everyone gets it, that is what our founders intended, a PRINCIPLED vote, not a vote out of fear.
