>> I also voted for Romney even though he was maybe my third choice so maybe that makes me a rhino but i at least did not help the muslem socialist to get into the white house again. <<

First off, RINO stands for Republican In Name Only. There is no political term called "rhino".

Second, you're missing the point. The vast majority of conservatives held their noses and voted for Romney when the choice was Romney or Obama.

Furthermore, I'd say a majority of freepers (probably at least 60%) reluctantly switched to Romney late in the 2008 primary season, when the choices were down to Romney, Huckabee, or McCain. They believed Romney was the "most conservative" of those three. (that's why it was amusing when those same freepers bashed Rick Santorum for endorsing Romney under the same circumstances, and refused to publicly say who THEY had voted for, since 80% of them probably did the very thing they were trashing Santorum for doing)

What Ann Coulter did was something entirely different. She didn't reluctantly back Romney towards the end of the primary season, she proudly started pimping from Day 1 of the 2008 primaries and urged conservatives to vote for him when there a dozen other candidates to pick from. Her fan club refused to accept she had sold out and went into spin mode claiming she had "endorsed Duncan Hunter" on the basis of her saying "I think Duncan Hunter is a great conservative" (by that logic, EVERY Republican would have "endorsed Duncan Hunter")

Coulter did the same thing in 2012 as she did in 2008. She kept desperately trying to push Chris Christie to run, and after about the twelfth time of him telling her, "NO", the primary season started and Ann Coulter was pimping for Mitt Romney from Day 1 of the primaries and urging conservatives to vote for him when there were a dozen other conservatives to pick from. It was no surprise she would do this, she was taking the same position she had in 2008 and she said months earlier that if Christie didn't run, she'd back Romney whole-heartedly.

Of this time her fan club acted "shocked" and didn't try to spin it and claim she was endorsing someone else. They had to accept it after Romney won the nomination.

I'm seeing the same denial from Paulbots. Whenever someone NOT named "Rand Paul" says they want to work with Democrats on "comprehensive immigration reform" and a "path to citizenship", they're a La Raza sellout and a lying SOB when they pledge there won't be amnesty until the borders are secured first. But when Rand Paul says it, gosh darn, he's a wonderful tea party leader, he really means he'll secure the border first and he would never sell out.

Like the Coulter thing, they might figure out they've been sold out by Rand Paul by 2014 or 2016 after the "bipartisan" immigration bill makes it out of the Senate. But by that time it will be too late.

Second, you’re missing the point

Ok, so i spelled it wrong, call the police, i am too poor to pay attention, but i don,t think i am missing the point, we make our points at the polls.

Romney lost so we can blame Ann Coulter or rand Paul or we might blame a dozen others, i also went over Pauls voting record which much of it i did not understand as it does not get down to what it is all about, but the ones i did understand i agree with.

I don,t have to understand the point based on a certain premiss to know that people are caving in to socialism.

I agree with you, the same freepers were doing every thing in the book to see to it that Romney lost but i would not bet that they voted for him even though they might say that they did, nobody wants to be blamed for Obama winning.

For goodness sakes, half of the Freepers raging against Romney the other half raging against one of the other candidates, a pretty fair reason why none of them could have won any more than Romney did, i bet the socialists loved it.

As for Ann Coulter i may not agree with her but i can not see how she let any one down as by your own words she was with Romney from day 1, i did not see any wrong in that.

I doubt if any two people can exactly agree so i am sure i would have disagreements with even Ron Paul but i believe in Capitalism which is not a system thought up by societies but is a natural system whereby free people can live and prosper.

For the reason stated i did not look forward to voting for any of the candidates who were running, i am a product of socialism just like every one else, i have paid into social security for more years than i care to remember and am going to get it all back plus interest if i can.

Regardless of that i would vote for a real Constitution advocate even if it meant that i would lose it.
