"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
There was a time that I would have argued the same point. But those days are gone for this "old" Constitutional Conservative.
As George Washington warned us about political parties, I am done supporting a candidate who is only a Republican and not a Constitutional republican.
It is a deeply personal decision and I in no way am attempting to sway your beliefs or those of others.
May I use that in a tagline?
Great graphic! Thanks. Now, we need to concentrate on electing a veto-proof congress and senate.
When all 3 remaining candidates are liberals, I don’t care if they were Rock Stars.
I’ll want someone else.
David is correct. That is the truth.
I suppose we are going back to the Carter years. Maybe forever rather than just 4 years.
I didn’t vote for Jimmy and I will refrain from McCain.
Hard lesson to be learned here.
Truth really is, all of them are liberal. If we vote, we are voting for the best choice of the worst.
I don’t fault anyone for that. However, we all have our own line in the sand. It is best at this point in time for people to do what they feel good about, rather than pleasing anyone else.
It isn’t as though we have a choice. Let the chips fall where they may.
Couldnt bring myself to vote for the top two in either party that the medias pushing.”

I didn’t either. This time around I’m not “doing as I’m told”.
The GOP is in a sad state.
Is it time for a new party yet?
It should say: NO LIBERAL HILLARY/OBAMA/MCCAIN SUPPORTERS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
Hillary/Obama VS. McCain
One of the two has to win.
Either you stand against Hillary/Obama or you don’t. Period.
It appears you stand with Hillary/Obama. How sad for our country that some in my party share this feeling.
I stand against all 3!!!
If someone is a liberal it doesn’t matter if there’s an “R” next to his name.
If this country’s going into the toilet (and it WILL if ANY of those get in...worse if it’s Hitlary) I’d rather have a democrat get credit so a REAL conservative can win in 2012.
So...you’d rather have Hillary. That’s great, really. I’m sure she really appreciates it.
Giving the White House to a Democrat with a Democratic Congress is NOT a principled, conservative position.
Rather have Hillary?? Not a chance!
Read my post again.
I said:
NO Clinton
NO Obama
No McCain
Don’t try to guilt me into fixing what the other idiots out there MAY screw up tonight.
The Talk-Shows programming is a reflection of their audience. The fact that these Conservative Talk Radio programs are wildly successful relates to my stated belief that the majority of Americans are Conservative.
I’m aware of the vast number of self proclaimed “Libertarians” that also listen, but I also think most of them wish to “H” they knew what a “Libertarian” was.
The Democrats have always been little more than a co-op of different special interest groups, all of which get along simply because each has its own core cause and none of the various causes exclude the others. Having both black and a woman vying for the same co-op votes is going to make for an interesting spectacle. If the GOP weren’t embroiled in its own drama I could enjoy the Democratic earthquake a bit more.
This is the real reason for the anti-Romney vote:
