For some reason, I don’t think the RNC *OR* the DNC have any problems with your sentiment. I would not be surprised if the sentiments you expressed leave a smile on the faces of the power-brokers in *both* orgs.

I hear what you are saying and I can’t say I completely disagree, but to be clear, I’m voting for anyone but Romney in the primary and anyone but Obama in the general (even if the anti-Obama vote is Romney).

I stopped donating to the RNC prior to the 2010 elections and started directly supporting the candidates I liked. I write nasty-notes on every spam-mail the RNC sends, stuff as much paper as I can into the envelope and send it back on their dime. But despite all that, I doubt we have any leverage against the RNC.

The True Problem (as *I* see it) is that there are far, Far, *FAR* too many squishy *VOTERS* lined-up and ready to support the RNC and their RINO candidates. We on the constitutional-conservative side of the party are clearly still outnumbered (in votes and $$) or else we would not be having this conversation about Romney.

I just can’t see a darn thing changing until we grow, sway and convert more RNC voters to the constitutional, federalist, conservative point of view. We can certainly try a third party and/or reforming the RNC, but both will absolutely wither and fail unless we can bring more voters “into the fold” (so to speak).

It’s much easier said than done and I have no idea how to do it. It just seems to me to be job #1 if we are to get this country back on the right track. It will likely take multiple generations to overcome the entitlement minded voters (on the left and on the right) who vote with their hand held out. The much scarier question is if the country can survive long enough to turn the tide.

I am re adjusting my thinking, as I think Romney would lose to Obama anyway

Focus on HUGE majorities on Capitol Hill better place to focus our energies than in pumping Romney

He doesn’t deserve my support
