What are you saying?

Are you saying that the man responsible of Masscare would somehow repudiate and repeal Obamacare, even though it was BASED COMPLETELY on Masscare?

The states are laboratories of democracy, and Masscare failed in the lab. Romney, however, can’t admit that for some reason and you think that somehow he’ll get the job and not waffle down on Obamacare with, “We don’t need to throw the baby out with the bath, we just need to fix the parts that don’t work.”?

I think its naive to think he’s not going to want to just grab the Oval Office, hire people to stiff arm base conservatives, and go back to work with the status quo in DC as if nothing there is permanently and irreparably broken.

Hey, have fun eating those principles of yours after Obozo has completely gutted our economy. People like you are what’s wrong with the political system today. You’re so into having the perfect candidate that you’re willing to lie down with dogs as opposed to accepting something less than perfection. If Reagan ran today he would not earn your vote. I have an idea. Just stay home on election day and allow the adults to make the tough decisions.

Romney is not my first choice but...

I love how even ardent Romneybots (not saying you am one, Prof) always include a disclaimer.

Well you have fun eating that RINO meat of creeping socialism, loss of liberty and attacks on our way of life. It is people like you who want consensus and not clarity that is what is wrong with politics today.

Oh and I did vote for Reagan because he was an unashamed conservative. If you remember, Regan lost the nomination in favor of Ford and where did that get us?

It is us adults that have already served our country, raised our kids, had businesses and created jobs that are in the trenches day to day and are fighting the good fight daily and KNOW our history. “Me too” and Dem lite does not win elections. It is the conservative who motivates the base and wins elections.

So you stay home if you want to. I am going to vote and I will vote for the most conservative candidate that I can find ... if they happen to have an R by their name, great. If they don’t ... then the party that is SUPPOSED to be the conservative party can either change and become conservative or they can continue to LOSE elections.

In other words, since you don't have a dog in the race you will throw a tantrum and take your toys home. The only outcome of this is four more years of THE MOST LIBERAL option available. After four more years of Obozo we'll see what is left of this country. I'm betting there won't be much of the Constitution that hasn't been shattered. It is obvious that you know nothing about Reagan. Pity!

Please take the time to learn your history. Ford was from the liberal wing of the Republican party but he was the establishment and LOST. McCain, another GOP establishment liberal - LOST. Bob Dole, another GOP establishment choice and LOST.

Now once again the GOP establishment is trying to shove another liberal republican (Romney) down our throats. And if that is the case, the conservative base will not turn out to support someone who does not represent them.

It is the GOP establishment selection of liberal, RINO GOP party toady strategy has a history of loss after loss. When the conservatives of the GOP defeated the establishment and put Reagan on the ticket we WON. If Regan taught us anything it is that you can not win without a motivated base.

I do NOT require a history lesson from the likes of you. I stand by what I stated. It’s a pity that you do not know anything about Reagan.

I would vote for Joran Vandersloot over Obama at this point.

It is a pity that you refuse to learn facts and the lessons of history.

The Libertarian party platform represents the goals of libertarians, and it is formal text that we can post and discuss.
