Take the Scarlett O'Hara pledge.
I have and there is no difference in consequences of 4 more years of Obama or 4 years of Romney, other than the next election WILL go back to the Dems and hard if Romney is elected.
Policy wise there is no difference between the two. Conservatives NEED to stand up for Conservative values or we will KEEP getting RINOS like Romney shoved at us because we are seen as weak and willing to cave.
Let’s say Romney gets in. We all know he is a RINO whose record is the same as Obama’s. A conservative congress will not reign him in, because he is supposedly ‘on our side’. His policies and and failure to stop or recind Obamas policies (because he does agree with them) will make the REPUBLICANS (and thus conservatives) look very very bad and drive more swing/independent/disaffected voters back to the Dems in 2016.
We need to stand up for what we believe and not cave, not this time. We have done it far to long and every time the GOP keeps giving us WORSE RINOS.
You’ve got to be kidding me. You aren’t going to see any conservative judicial appointments out of Romney. It’ll never happen.

YOU’VE got to be kidding ME!
Appointing a conservative isn’t necessary. Merely NOT appointing a homosexual marxist anti-american kagan is plenty good enough incentive to vote against obama in the general. That fact that you refuse to see this indicates to me there is something more than politics influencing your judgement. I think you just plain don’t want a mormon in the whitehouse and you really don’t care about the politics so much. You and the rest of your kind make me want to vomit. Your hatred for mormonism is going to kill this country...IF romney gets the nomination, which I don’t believe he will.
“I take this to mean you will simply allow Barack Obama to have a second term?”
For me it means that I put conservative principles above party.
For me it means I don’t bow to the silk panty RINO establishment.
For me it means I’m not stupid enough to buy into the end of the world rhetoric and scare tactics.
Foe me it means I’ll vote for the Reps. and Senators that are conservatives.
For me it means I’ll vote third party rather than be complicit in the destruction of conservatives in the GOP.
For me it means I don’t support Socialists...even if the have an “R” behind their name.
Peddle your Romney scare tactics elsewhere.
David Axelrod loves this.
Well said and my sentiments exactly.
No, sorry.
I don’t trust him and he is at the bottom of my list of candidates.
But anyone is going to be a huge improvement over what we have now. Think SC appointments.
Romney and Obama have the same positions (based upon record...not just rhetoric). Both support:
Gay marriage
Socialized medicine
Individual mandates
Appoint liberal judges
Global warming hysteria
Pro-choice legislation
Both refuse to support states like Ohio when they stood up to public unions
Romney defines the rich at $200k in his plan, while Zero defines the line at $250k.
If it walks like liberal/socialist and tries to talk like a conservative (this election)...it must be Romney.
I will vote for the Republican nominee, no matter who it is, for the sole purpose of removing Obama from office.
I think Obama is deliberately ruining this country, I do not see that attitude in any of the Republican candidates.
Also, if Romney wins without the conservative vote- I think that would make the conservative vote in future elections lack importance.
If a Republican candidate can see that he/she can win without the conservative vote- they will always lean more moderate to capture the middle.
By sitting out this election, you will make conservatism irrelevant in the eyes of politicians.
But when they do Obama considers them to be in recess even when they're not and by-passes Congress.
Might as well not vote if Obama's going to be in the WH.
RE: Peddle your Romney scare tactics elsewhere.
Why is it a scare tactic? IT IS THE TRUTH.
If it comes down to Romney vs Obama, it WILL (emphasis) boil down to either one of them being president. Not voting is not going to change that FACT.
Worth repeating
I will crawl on my knees across burning gray goo to vote for Mitt over Obama.
Sorry...you’re an idiot. ANYONE is better than Obama.
Take your pledge and stick it.
-----from a NON-Romney fan
The amount of damage Obama’s done in three years isn’t enough for you?
at least will have some gridlock

LMAO! Puhllleeeezzzeeeeee...Now that’s funny!!!!! Like the Boehner cave right before Christmas? Like the latest recess appointments that the dictator in chief made to bypass Congress even though they weren’t in recess? Wake up and smell the coffee. Gridlock? Yea right, he’s already made it perfectly clear he wants to and is willing to “go it alone”.
see tagline
That is the plan. If the sheeple take over the Republican Party that will mean two things, the sheeple finally see the DemonicRats for the evil socialists that they really are and secondly, we conservatives have nothing to fear from starting our own political party because the Demoncrats are now marginalized. Win-win.
