Good luck. However, a protest-vote, write-in, sit-out, whatever is not going to teach the GOP-e anything. I doubt they would be bothered, much less give a rat’s patoot what we do. There are far too many “republican” voters who will dutifully line-up and vote the way the GOP-e/MSM tells them to vote. We are seeing that in action right now as Romney becomes the presumptive nominee.

So, if anyone has any ideas how to change it, they should start providing the nitty-gritty details so we can get it underway for 2016.

As for me, this fall I’m voting for the GOP nominee, whoever that may be. Obama must go before he can make any more liberal *lifetime* SCOTUS appointments. At this point, that should be one of our primary motivators. The hell with the GOP. I don’t care if they think my voting for their nominee is because I’m loyal to them. They’ll never see another penny from me. I’m voting to get rid of Obama. That is all that matters to me at this point.

We have the next four years to figure out how to gut the GOP-e and nominate an actual *LEADER* who can inspire, motivate, persuade and bloody well *LEAD* the country.

My principles direct me to vote for my preferred candidate in the primary, but in the general, I *MUST* do everything I can to unseat Obama. I’d vote for the town drunk if he were running against Obama. If it comes to it, Romney will be an easy vote for me to cast. I don’t care for him personally, but it’s not about *me*; it’s about what’s best for the country. If my choices are limited to Romney or Obama — it will be Romney. Anything else would border on emotion-driven retaliation agaisnt the GOP-e, rather than logic & reason.

Possibly that's true. However, I have received three letters from the RNC this year soliciting donations using the guise of an opinion poll. Each time, I have filled it out giving my opinion (often not the one they expect) and not sending them a penny! Three solicittions in a year is a new record. The RNC is in deep doo-doo and they know it. Conservatives like me are expressing our opinions more openly than ever before and voting . . . . . by NOT opening our wallets and giving them funds. This is a message they ARE getting and I know that I'm not alone. Fund-raising by the RNC is way off from previous elections and they are discovering just how out of touch they are with the rest of America in "flyover" country!!

Maybe I'm wrong but, I think they are getting a message they don't like, don't want and don't expect. If enough of us refuse to support THEIR moderate in this election cycle, they just might hear us!!
