In November 2016 I will vote for the candidate without a D after their name.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you.

I will work like hell during the primaries to have a conservative candidate to vote for. I hope and pray that I will get to vote for a conservative candidate in the general election.

But when it comes time to vote in the general election, one of only two candidates is going to be elected, the one with the D after his/her/its name or the one with the R. If I have to, I will hold my nose and vote against the one with the D.

Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy are both turning 80 in 2016. Clarence Thomas is turning 68. The next president is almost certain to replace at least one of the three. Any Democrat appointment will be legislating from the bench for the next 30 years.

The Constitution says whatever 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices say it says. If the Democrats get to replace Scalia, Kennedy or Thomas then every 5/4 decision that we have ever won, including DC v. Heller (upholding the right keep to bear arms) and Citizens United v. FEC (upholding free speech) will be reversed.

In 1986, the Supreme Court held that there is no constitutional right to commit sodomy. In 2003, the Court reversed itself and found that a right to sodomy was in the Constitution all along. Ten years later, the Supreme Court found a constitutional right for homosexuals to marry each other.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Important point regarding SCOTUS nominees: there’s no requirement for all the seats to be filled. Assuming Ginsburg leaves first, a GOP Senate could sit on any replacement for her and one of Scalia, Kennedy or Thomas’ seats and there’d still be a Conservative majority. It would just be 4/3 rather than 5/4.

As governor, Romney gave the nation gay marriage, and in the courts, 75% of his appointees were not even republican, and none were conservative.

I would suggest making sure that Romney is not the candidate in 2016/

Of the mirror, Bubba. Because YOU are the one voting to turn the Republican party left. You stupidly think you're voting "against" leftism in the very act of voting FOR it. Hullllo?

What if you WIN? Will you be accountable for the Republican administration spearheading nationalized health care, amnesty, on-demand abortion, full-on required recognition and honor paid to "marriage" between two homosexuals, the global warming agenda, activist judges (obviously you are ignorant of Romney's actual record in judicial appointments), gun control, and all of the other leftist positions Romney HAS TAKEN on issues of major import?

Will you be here being accountable for it?

I won't! I will be HOLDING YOU accountable.
