If a RINO is nominated in 2012, I fear we’ll be told to hold our noses and vote for him anyway. The only real hope is to keep the RINO from being nominated in the first place. I’m still waiting for a really good conservative to emerge onto the national scene. Both Romney and Huckabee turn my stomach and I’m not quite ready to jump on the Sarah bandwagon yet.
I don’t think Jim would tell us that but not everyone on this site is Jim.
I, for one could not see myself pulling the lever for a McCain again. It ain’t easy voting straight-up principle, but what has compromise given us since Reagan? I remember when Bush was up for the office and Rush was making it clear he was a good man, but that neither he nor his dad were true conservatives. As much as I admire the man, I’m not sure he did a service to conservatism at all. By the time McCain was up for grabs there wasn’t enough real conservative base left to carry us.
Honestly, I don’t give a flip if it gets me kicked off freerepublic.com or anywhere else for that matter; I will actively campaign against anyone who is not a true conservative.
Waiting on a good conservative with the ability to swing and follow through? Right there with you.
God bless. GG
If there is a RINO candidate in '12 (Huckabee is the most likely IMO), and the mods start banning accounts of those who suggest sitting it out or voting third party, I think a lot of Freepers will save them the keystrokes by banning themselves.
