Who is the kind of electable conservative you can support?

That's a fair question. It's a tough one too.

My premise is that both the Democrat and Republican parties have moved drastically left. The Democrats openly support all forms of deviancy. They demonstrate contempt for our founders and the documents they drafted. While the Republicans pay lip service to our founders and their documents, they don't advocate for them soundly enough, and have proven themselves perfectly willing to exist in various states of rebellion against them.

Some of our folks seem to get it for a while, and then they reveal cracks in their facade, that make it clear we really didn't understand who they were all along. It's very demoralizing.

I thought Cain was quite good as it relates to the Free Enterprise system. I wasn't as happy about his foreign policy merits.

I thought Bachmann was pretty good, but I haven't cared for the way she tried to capitalize off some of the Leftist attacks on our other candidates. She made a few stumbles that caused me concern. I could still support her, but she would need to prove she had cleaned up her act.

As for the others, I see major problems with each of them. Some of it is based on their past history. Some of it is based on the fact that I can't trust them because of it. It bothers me a lot when folks try to pass themselves off as something they aren't too.

"Hey, I know I did things I shouldn't have for a decade or more, but I am a very Conservative guy now, even if you don't see eye to eye with me." This logic floors me. Who do they think they're kidding?

I realize this isn't much help, but I am very unimpressed by the field of candidates this year.

We don't have a person who has gotten it long term, and still does. Is that too much to ask? Evidently so.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
