Take the Scarlett O'Hara pledge.
Believe me, if Obama is booted out, I’ll happily take responsibility for the results—even if Romney is in the White House.
Agree, and I believe that a well funded conservative party could win, with the kind of groundswell that the Tea Party had in 2009 and 2010. Our group needs to rise up again against the elites telling us that we either vote for a marxist or a liberal progressive who gets us to marxism, only slower. The time for accepting what has been done by the marxists, and seeking only to slow it down, is over. It is time to undo the damage that has been done, to restore the republic. If we lose that battle, America is lost.
We are the abolitionists of our time. We have decided that slavery is wrong, and want that system destroyed, no compromise possible. Socialism IS slavery. Kill it.
Scaredy cat?
No, realist.
I have no control over Iowa and New Hampshire.I live in WA state- a Democrat state. Hopefully, we may get a Republican governor next election.
If the conservatives cannot find a candidate that is electable, and receives support- then we will always get RINOs.
No one in Iowa or New Hampshire is getting their arm twisted in the primaries- they are voting for who they want to win.
The only way to exert power is to stay in the party and control the candidates to the conservative view.
Spinning off on to your own party, when you could not get the average Iowa caucus voter to vote conservative , will only get you around 10-15% of the vote- then ensuring Democrat control for years to come.
If conservatives want more control, they have to take a more active part in the primary system.
You are an Obama lover and will help give us 4 more years of disaster.
I've got it, and I think there aremillions like you. For that reason, the elites have it wrong. Mitt is unelectable. Period. He would lose, gracefully, but soundly. No one likes him. Even with all the propaganda machine in his corner, he can't get above 25 percent.
Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, would all win. When offered a choice between marxism and freedom, Americans will choose freedom. When offered a mushy choice of revamped social programs, they will go with the socialist.
If failing to vote for Romney means Obama gets four more years, then, “frankly My Dear, I don’t . . .” The fact is that Obama hates America as we know it and will do his best to destroy this country with a continued rapid transition to communism. Romney doesn’t hate America but will do his best to move us toward socialism at a moderate pace because he thinks that will be a good thing. I’m not seeing the up side to a Romney vote. If Romney is the nominee, I will vote, and I’ll work very hard to get living voters to the pools so that we have as conservative as possible a congress to stop either Obama or Romney, whichever leftist wins, but I won’t vote for Mitt. If the GOP wants my vote, they can select any of the dozens of acceptable conservatives, not one of the few unacceptable RINOs.
Another 4 more years of Obama and we have a shot at nothing, zero, nada, zilch. Our country will be dead.
Obama will take you golfing now, and Michelle will hand down her fabulous wardrobe to you. Don’t expect a job, though.
So, you’re supporting Obama then???
Like it or not, THIS IS THE PROCESS that chooses the nominee.
“I believe we must also focus on getting a Tea Party House and Senate in place”
I totally agree. Focus on that. Regardless of whether Obama or Romney are president, that is the real priority.
Where in the world did you get the idea I don't like Mormons? My not supporting Romney has nothing to do with his religion and everything to do with his politics. He's a NE Liberal. If I'm prejudiced against anyone, it would be New England Republicans. I just don't trust them.

A lot of these need to be distributed.
“Believe me, if Obama is booted out, Ill happily take responsibility for the resultseven if Romney is in the White House.”
If Romney is the nominee, and Obama wins, you will be responsible for THAT too.
You OK with that also?
Ain't that the truth.
I did say “some”. Some is better than none, which is what you’ll get if you have a RINO progressive in the WH. The Republican party is finished unless they jettison the progressive faction and send them packing to the Dems where they belong.
I’d rather the D’s own the coming debacle rather than the R’s, but if the R’s insist on becoming the whig party because they refused to stand up against the neo-slavery of the 21st century, well tough sh**, I won’t be on that wagon with them.
How cute, a spine graphic.
You all talk about the civil war to come if Obama wins, and you want a civil war by the comments.Which is stupid.
However, if Obama wins, you wont have any guns.
The government will seize them.
Pretty hard to have a war with only sticks and stones.
I have a spine, and a brain.

If you don’t like the Prez nominee then get a veto proof Tea Party Congress. Work for Tea Party state legislatures. Don’t just take your ball and go home.
The fact is that mittens will have a substantial attrition rate among conservatives, evangelicals, and libertarians no matter what. This makes him very weak. And if mitt is the nominee, he may be tempted to run to what he and his handlers consider to be the ‘center’ in an effort to capture the moderates, independents, and the uninformed. His Washington insider campaign advisors will be reluctant to criticize zero. This will further erode his conservative financial support and grass roots enthusiasm.
The GOP is playing this like a football team sitting on a 3 pt lead using a ‘prevent’ defense. Not smart.
ABO!!
I’m voting for the eventual nominee even if I don’t like them.
Anyone staying home in 2012 is a traitor IMO. Obama is THAT bad!
Have you looked at Mitt’s record?!?!
Mitt’s policies are the same as Obama.
He won’t stop gays in the Military, he won’t stop Obamacare (it is based on Romney care), he won’t rescind anything anti-gun or pro abortion. And that is just for starters.
Maybe you need too take a look at the Romney Truth file.
Don't worry about that. I'll be voting Republican in Nov. 2012. I just want be voting for Romney if he is the Republican nominee for President.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
--- John Stuart Mill
It's time like these that convinces me the 19th amendment was the worst thing that ever happened to this republic...
So let's try real hard to get Newt or one of the Ricks to head the ticket.
No way will I vote for him in the primary but if he gets the nomination I’ll vote for him. I will not give obama another four years to advance his communist agenda.
“I have a spine, ...”
Then how will the Government get your guns?
That means, if you sit out the election- we will have gays in the military, and Obamacare.
At least Romney is stating he is going to get rid of Obamacare, and he is against gay marriage.
I will take my chances on Romney, instead of more of the same.
Hmmm... Mr. Reaganaut, on what Presidential issue do President Reagan and Mitt Romney hold opposite views?
- - - - -
It’s Mrs. And lets see...
abortion
guns
Obamacare (you can’t think Reagan would have supported that)
gay marriage (not an issue back then but again not something Reagan would have supported)
gays in the military
I can keep going. Mitt is the antithesis of Reagan.
I always love it when people expouse war, but really are fat , uneducated people typing out BS on their computers.
Would he veto a repeal of the repeal of DADT?
He stated that he felt Obamacare and Romneycare were different, because one was made by a state and one made for all the states. He said he would repeal parts of Obamacare.
What Federal anti gun law can he rescind?
What abortion laws will he not rescind? Would he veto a bill that pulled funding from PP?
Thank you. I understand your sentiments. I may do a write-in for President in that case.
Be careful, posters are being zotted for being Romneybots. Just sayin’.
I would be torn if Romney were the Republican nominee. He may be nominally better than Obama: I don’t know. But at some point in time we’ve got to take a stand with the party. They stack the deck to get their “moderates” nominated by manipulating the primary schedules and by cozying with the MSM to pump up their guy.
They feel comfortable that conservatives will vote the party line. After all, where would they go? It’s like the battered wife syndrome.
Personally, I’ve given up on the nomination process. My state is irrelevant: the nominee is chosen by the time they allow us to participate. And the party removes a state’s delegates if they DARE try to move themselves into a position of relevancy.
I worked for years in the GOP (in another state) and I found more backstabbing and slander from within the party than I ever saw when I was dealing with the opposition. I invariably came away from party meetings feeling the need for a bath.
>> As God is my witness, I will not vote for Romney for President.
It doesn’t matter. There are plenty of Democrats waiting to fill your vote.
Voting against a greater evil doesn’t cut it. The GOP needs a candidate worth voting FOR!
They haven't had one of those since Reagan.
I won’t sit out and I won’t take chances. I will vote 3rd party and I will leave the GOP.
It is time for a revolution. NO MORE RINOS.
But if you want to play into the dems and Romney’s hand go ahead. You are exactly what Romney is betting on.
I prefer Newt.
Not Romney.
However, I will vote for the Repunlican nominee, whoever it is.
You will not, therefore assisting in Obama winning President for another 4 years.
Your threats do not work for me.
Obama winning will be a disaster for this country, which you want because you think civil war will be the result. Oh, how fun!
He won’t because he agrees with them!!!
The guy is a lying scumbag (that is proveable), what makes you think he isn’t lying now?
Yes, Romney will veto a repeal of the repeal of DADT. DUH.
Romney won’t repeal Obamacare because it is based on Romneycare.
Romney will support anti-gun legislation because he doesn’t believe in the 2nd amendment.
Romney supports PP, so he will support funding it.
How can you not see Romney is just lying to get what he wants!?
JR can see Romney is lying, most of the rest of us can, why can’t you? Why do you believe a single word that comes out of Romney’s mouth?!
Abortion: Seems to have had the same type of position as Reagan
Guns: You forget that President Reagan supported the Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban - just like Mitt. Not to mention signing the 1986 bill that banned automatic weapons. Looking at Mitt's positions - they don't seem that different. I think you forget the real positions of Reagan...
Obamacare: Mitt is on the record as wanting to repeal Obamacare.
Gay marriage: So pushing for a Federal law recognizing marriage as one man and one woman means gay marriage supporter?
Gays in the military: He supports don't ask, don't tell. The same policy as President Reagan.
Antithesis? So how would he be different than a President who gave us amnesty, who increased taxes, who exploded the Federal budget, who compromised with Tip O'Neill and Scoop Jackson, who gave us Sandra Day O'Connor?
I think you need to just go look at the candidate himself rather than listen to the mob here, and go and re-evaluate who President Reagan was.
Is Mitt my guy? Nope - I was for Cain, and now am leaning to Perry. But Mitt is MILES away from Obama, and really not all that different in most positions than Reagan if you look at it critically.
Fine, be paranoid.
I was born into mormonism, escaped from it, I could justifiably say my life has forever been altered by it for the negative. If the only choice is between Romney and a Marxist, I did not set up the contest. Down with Romney.
It is obvious that their views were incredibly at odds, Mitt Romney left the Republican party because of President Reagan's conservatism, in the late 1980s, Mitt started supporting and even fund raising for Democrat candidates.
I can’t believe that you are going to make us wade through all this Romney/Reagan nonsense again.
To turn the pro-life Reagan into the dedicated, passionate, almost abortion fanatic, Mitt Romney, you link us to Mitt Romney ‘On the Issues’?
“...At least Romney is stating ..”
And you really, actually believe anything coming from the mitt-mouth? Really? Based on what history??
