It seems to me that everyone who is a real conservative (here on FR and elsewhere) will agree that the GOP nominee for 2012
MUST be a true conservative with proven credentials which would pass muster with Reagan himself. The survival of America and the re-establishment of our Constitutional Republic demands it.

That said, any candidate proclaiming that they are a conservative, but condones, supports or believes that either of the two RINOs George W. Bush or John Sidney McCain were truly conservative is NOT a conservative themselves, and cannot be trusted with the nomination of the Republican Party, let alone trusted with the White House and the fate our Nation.

I don't care who it is that says that George W. Bush was a 'conservative', if they believe that crap they need to give their head a shake and wake up whatever neurons are still alive in there. If someone actually thinks that John McCain is a 'conservative' and worthy of their respect and support, they too are untrustworthy and undeserving of the support of conservatives because such an individual clearly lacks the vision and comprehension to understand that McCain is nothing but an opportunistic, liberal piece of sh*t that chooses political expediency over principles every time, and pisses on conservatives every chance he gets.

ANY candidate who panders to, or reveals themselves to be an ally of the '*Kennedy Wing of the Republican Party' (* thank you former Congressman Duncan Hunter) is worthy only of our scorn and contempt.

Thank you, sir.

Would you have applied the same standard to Ronald Reagan when he picked Richard Schweiker for his VP in 1976? When he campaigned for Gerald Ford? When he campaigned for Pete Wilson?
