I am pretty sure that I have not seen anyone on Free Republic calling for Romney to run again.

The only debate appears to be whether, if a moderate RINO like Romney or McCain gets the Republican nomination again in 2016, it would be better to vote against the Democrat or stay home.

My intention is to do whatever I can to get a conservative nominated, but if we get stuck with another RINO, then hold my nose and vote for the lesser of the two evils in the general election. A lot of Freepers disagree and refuse to ever vote for another RINO.

There are rinos, and then there is Mitt Romney.

There was a reason that with all the big money and a massive organization, and even his own 50 million dollars that he put into his primary, that Romney could not even beat the no money, no organization guys, McCain and Huckabee in 2008, no one ran against Mitt because he scared off all the major players with his massive war chest, yet the little guys who are known as normal rinos, beat him.

A lot of Freepers disagree and refuse to ever vote for another RINO because they understand they will be accountable for what they voted FOR if it wins.

There. Fixed it for you.

Hello? Voting "against" is intent. When in hell are you ever accountable for what you voted "against"? It's total BS. Voting is an ACTION of endorsing a specific thing. Voting "against" is an illusion of the mind.

And the GOP-E thanks you for your support in manipulating the process and you to vote for someone who does not share many, if any, of your dearest held principles.

BTW, Romney, with his support of Abortion and Gay Rights and Global Warming and Gun Control and Taxing anything that moves cannot even be called a RINO.

In real life, when your nose tells you something stinks, it's protecting you and you ignore it at your peril.

Same in the voting booth, FRiends.

What you propose to do in the event of an all but certain RINO nomination, is in no way RESISTANCE of any form. It is rather a sign you are the type who will board the train thinking it is a better choice of destination.

We know how that turned out.
