You are owed no apology. When you cast your vote for a man who does not follow in the platform of his own party, you are voting for a Republican in name only by definition.

Ergo, you are likewise a RINO. And if you are OK with that, great. But it is what it is and no amount of excuse-making changes verifiable fact.

Personally, I intend to write-in Newt or Sarah. But I still intend to vote hard-conservative downticket.

I can still respectfully disagree, although I would remind them that a vote for Romney is like voting for cancer, as opposed to voting for a .40 caliber slug to the forehead.

I understand those who would vote for cancer over the slug, since it would give a person a chance to get their affairs in order.

I'm in a state, GA, where I have the luxury of voting my conscious -- it's almost a foregone solution GA will go for Romney. But for those in less-certain states, I do understand voting for the slower death of America. A day delayed is a day lived, right? I get that. I might not necessarily agree, but I do get it.

So tell me what you are going to do. Not vote. Write in someone else name. Vote for Obama. Those seem to be your choices. Which one do you choose? Let me know if there is another choice I didn't mention.

All polls and common sense tells us that Romney is going to be the one to run. Not my choice either but I'm not going to throw my vote away as it is too important to dump the Zero. Come on here, give me some hope with your good idea.

You are correct. Vote for a RINO, push a RINO on FR, post insults, accusations, lies and use fear mongering tactics on those who resist going along with RINO tyranny, you are a RINO.

Reminds me of Mitt Romney. Romney boasts of a three decades long history of supporting abortion (ever since his mother ran for office in the 70’s). Claims abortion should be safe and legal in America and he would do nothing to oppose a woman’s right to choose. Claimed Roe v Wade is settled law and BOASTED that he would protect and sustain it as such. Appointed liberal judges, Installed $50.00 taxpayer funded/subsidized abortion as state law. Installed Planned Parenthood on the board. And then has the audacity to claim he’s always been pro-life and refuses the pro-choice label?

Not a RINO, my ass!! I don’t apologize or retreat. I reload!!

So if you withhold your vote for the RINO candidate, you will ensure the CommieO candidate’s success.

As a matter of logic, principle, and plain english, calling someone who votes for the REPUBLICAN nominee for president a RINO simply for that vote is assinine.

If a Republican is anything, it is the person who has won the party nomination for President.

Conservative? Not in the name “Republican”. I think way too many people forget that, and thus fail miserably at their attempts at personal insult.
