You are part of the conservatve’s problem.
My candidate or none! Just like those who decide their vote on one issue, whether it be guns or abortion, etc.

This country is in big trouble and we all know BO will completely reduce us to third world level with another 4 yrs. If you can live with that on your shoulders, then go ahead and be stubborn because you didn’t get your “special” candidate.
When we are all saying goodbye because BO has closed down all conservative sites on the internet, I will be the first one to look up the name “cuban leaf” and say thank you.

Actually that is not my mantra. I’ve had several candidates in this thing, but since 2008 I’ve said that even if he were running against hitler I would not vote for Romney. And the more I know, the more I stand behind it.

Sometimes doing the right thing brings a world of hurt, but in the long run it is still the right thing to do. Ask Stephen the Martyr. Or any number of characters in the bible. Doing the right thing does not always immediately destroy evil. But it does in the end.

I consider Obama to be the worst president this nation has ever known and could lead to its downfall. I consider Romney to be worse.

No.

I’m a voter, not a hostage.

Why do we now have to work so damn hard to STOP a Romney nomination when the GOP-E, KNEW that Masscare was a FATAL DISQUALIFICATION for the nomination in the first place?

Now Romney’s got Coulter, Drudge, Rove, and dozens of others drooling on his kneecaps this late in the process. Millions of dollars and millions of volunteer hours will have been wasted because somebody couldn’t talk sense to this guy THE DAY MASSCARE PASSED THE MASSSACHUSETTS SENATE!!

All it would have taken was, “Mitt, nice work, but you know you can’t be the nominee, right? You know that was the price, right?”

Nope, like Dole, like McCain, he was next in line.

So, yeah. The GOP picked their candidate over a year ago, and they are PISSED we aren’t going along with it. Peggy Noonan wrote as much about a month ago.

There WAS a nominee. We changed that at the grass roots, but at what point is this party going to get a clue in to the idea that it is time to FINALLY give a conservative a shot at it.

Sorry, but its guys like you that are trying to hang the future of the country on guys like me who WILL NOT STAY ON THE RESERVATION when I WASN’T THE GUY WHO LEFT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

Nope, if you get Obama. Do. Not. Blame. Me. You can blame the Cardinals in the GOP college that sent the white smoke up the chimney on this fraud from before the first primary. Romney was a presumption. You are trying to perpetrate that presumption.

For me, I think Gingrich SHOULD stay in. Between Santorum and Gingrich, they should pull every free-thinking, liberty-cherishing conservative left in the party and when they go to broker the convention, they can be a ticket and send Romney back to the People’s Republic of Massachusetts.

So SICK of the lectures about another four years of Obama.

Can you IMAGINE if McCain had actually won? I’m glad this idiot had to pull the scabs off of all the banks, the CME, ratings agencies, Fannie, Freddie, and Sallie. The D’s created this in the first place during Rubin/Clinton - LET THEM OWN IT!

Obama went so much better than owning the economy. He assaulted the church, bilked taxpayers out of billions, destroyed the commodities market with Corzine, etc.

If we win, let it be a conservative, or let the idiot Obama completely destroy the country. We apparently aren’t smart enough to learn from the last 100 years worth of mistakes. Before its over, I’ll be dead, or we’ll be chasing liberals down in the streets with weapons.

I’d rather not see it come to that, but if Romney gets the nod, Obama wins by default. “Thanks for the idea for Obamacare, Mitt, I couldn’t have done it without you!” And that’s it. That’s the election.

So please, peddle the ‘Obama is going to be your fault’ among McConnell, Cantor, and the rest of the college of Cardinals that picked that charlatan in the first place.

I’m not buying it, and neither should any sentient being still left in the conservative caucus.

Moreover, IF you vote for Romney, you are now personally responsible for what he’s about to perpetrate, which is a half-hearted attempt at repealing Obamacare, (which was his idea), and a temporary liberal lovefest from the press when he gives up and learns to love it.

He’ll bask in the love from the MSM, the narcissist that he is, until he needs them again, and like every other DC Republican, he’ll be shocked to find the press has turned on him.

You want me to get behind Etch-A-Sketch?

Video Uncovered: Romney in ‘02: ‘Only Connection’ to the Republican Party Is My Party Registration

The Blaze ^ | 3/23/12

Posted on Friday, March 23, 2012 1:26:15 PM by My Favorite Headache

With his conservative credentials still taking fire over “Etch A Sketchgate,” Mitt Romney is facing a new potential obstacle to his argument that he is unfailingly a Republican.

A 2002 clip, posted Friday on BuzzFeed, shows then-Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Romney declaring that his “only connection” to the Republican Party in the state is that “I’m registered as a Republican.”

Watch below, via BuzzFeed:

Yes. These folks who say they will sit out because “their” candidate did not get
nominated, or who pick on one issue they feel any other candidate tripped up on and so will withhold the “purity” of their vote, had better understand that if Obama is re-elected they won’t just be seeing him for four more years (bad as that might seem). Given the likelihood that the next president will nominate at least two to the Supreme Court (Sotomayor, Kagan anyone?)

they will be staring at Obama for a looooong time.

“Gee golly, I don’t have a choice; if Romney’s the nominee, I have to vote for him to stop Obama. I’ll just hope Romney won’t mock and despise me as badly as he did all those other times he’s mocked and despised other conservatives if I vote for him in November.”

The thinking of abuse victims since the dawn of time—if only I’ll do this for My Abuser, things will be better. (S)He’ll be different! Past history is no indication of future behavior!

Nope, this is part of the REPUBLICANs problem, it's no problem at all for conservatives.

And you've stated the issue wrong. It's my Principles or none. There's no point for a conservative in supporting any candidate who doesn't support conservative principles.

We've had several conservative candidates that all the conservatives could have backed eventually. Romney is not and never will be on that list.
