However, if you can find ONE conservative who is in an elected office that is not a Republican, kindly send along his or her name.......

I'm sure there are plenty under third parties, although it depends on your view of Conservatives and how far you take it or where you draw the line.

The problem is getting Conservatives into office. When we get RINOs elected, they do everything they can to stay in office, with the help of lobbyists and the GOP.

And when we have candidates like Dole/Bush/McCain/Romney, if they win, they don't shrink the government, they grow it (as Bush so aptly demonstrated). They get their people into the federal administration, and they cooperate with the Democrats and RINOs in Congress, and we get screwed.

It's even worse now, with a Democrat-led Senate, and a RINO-led House. If we get a Christie into the WH, there will be no difference between him and Obama. He loves Obama, he's from NJ, he loves him some Big Government.

When the GOP took the House, there was a lot of talk of forcing Obama to toe the line, or even reversing what he's done. We all fell for it. The House has no intention of slowing Obama and the Democrats in the Senate down.

All I can say is that if you vote for RINOs, you're an enabler, and you deserve the government you get.

There are virtually no third party elected officials, except for the Senators from Vermont and Connecticut, who could hardly be called conservative. ZERO third party conservatives. Why is that a problem for you? Do you have a difficult time with reality?

Have I said I like the RINOfication of the GOP, or the status of conservatives within the GOP? Have I intimated I want Crispy as president?

No. But somehow you don't understand that. I stand by my statement, there are NO conservatives who are elected officials who aren't Republicans. ZERO. Go ahead, provbe me wrong, I'll be waiting.....a very long, looooong time.......
