This is what happens when a guy sews up the nomination. Since the party system started, this is how it goes.

Why is everyone concerned with Bachmann’s endorsement?

Newt’s endorsed him and Santo and Palin are next.

Yep...it is. Cain and Perry already have. Santorum and Newt will be more direct about it once Romney has the 1,144 delegates. Sarah will follow.

...and they are doing it because that is what we are left with should he clinch the nomination, and they believe and know, despite his obvious warts, he will be better for the country than Obama.

...and despite the warts, I pray they are right because Obama is actively making great strides toward destroying the Republic for sure.

The GOP is almost completely bereft of any moral leadership.

It’s as plain as the nose on your face.

The only way someone can miss it at this point is to shut their eyes.

I think we are angry at the business as usual, protocols as usual, and the RINO cram down as usual.

These were all suppose to be the people who said the were on to the game and were in it to change the game. On a wing and a prayer we hoped they meant it and believed they could prove it. They didn’t.

As soon as they were out of the game they went silent, joined the rest of the forces on the sidelines waiting on Romney to kill off the conservatives remaining. Silence is consent. It was expedient and expected, but it was wrong.

I could never look at myself in the mirror if I didn’t do everything possible, which includes voting for Romney, to defeat the evil America hating man called Barack Hussein Obama.

We are in an extremely bad predicament.

If by that you mean support a socialist pro-choice democrat with a Republican label, my answer is in my tagline.

You think you have it bad...

When I go to vote.. I’ll have to look long and hard at that ballot. Both Mitt and Michele will be on mine...

Mitt has a very long (I’ll say at this point unpassiable) road in front of him with me.

Michele.. if she comes out for Mitt might just find herself on that same road.

I’m done selling out for the GOP.

And no. I won’t be voting for Obama either.

Who said anything about sitting anything out? That’s a dishonest meme used against those who refuse to vote for a socialist just because he has an R by his name.

I hear ya.

I made up my mind a few years back. If they won’t keep the most basic obligations of the oath via the policies they support, they ain’t getting any aid and comfort from me, much less my vote.

And until conservatives start holding them accountable for the politicians they endorse, not much is going to change. That’s a big part of the equation.

If I was in your shoes, I could not vote for Bachmann. To do so would violate the promises I’ve made.

Yep, it’s time to do this thing.

This is a war, and in war one can expect to have to do things one does not want to do.

There is no time for complaints, there is no time for weakness, this is the time for guts and mettle.

Down with Barack Hussein Obama, the America hating muslim communist!
