Well you certainly have the courage of your convictions. I have not read many of the replies, but imagine the Republicans on this Conservative forum are frothing at the mouth.

It was hard for me to reach the conclusion I did back in 1998, that the GOP had finally morphed into the power/money grabbing machine that it has. I wanted so hard to believe that they still represented my Constitutionally Conservative values. But they don't and more than likely hadn't for many years before I left.

There is no way I could take the author's suggestion and vote for Hussein. But I have no problem voting for Virgil Goode.

Thanks for posting this. The truth hurts; especially all the "party faithful" that permeate this forum.

Precisely on point, FRiend. The government takeover of the health care system amounts to government assumption of one fifth of the economy and leverage over citizens from cradle to grave. Romney is the means by which a flawed initial attempt at this expansion (socialization) of government can be polished and successfully implemented. We must not let our distaste of Obama blind us to the fact that Romney more than Obama is the tool capable of bringing about this change.

Look, whoever you are. Conservatism is the plane. The Republican Party is the fuel. If you have no fuel, you CRASH!!!!

Got it? There's no stupid Constitution party that's gonna do ANYTHING!!

Constantly attacking the Republicans and lying that the party can't be saved is a lie straight from the Communists Party of America.

There are many here, who view themselves as conservative, but are perfectly willing to kneel before their Republican master.

I wonder if the thought has ever crossed their minds that the GOP - e would rather see Obama as President over a conservative.

Thank you. I can learn a thing or two from your patient and level-headed responses in this thread.

In what way? RomneyCare has enjoyed its sixth anniversary; ObamaCare hasn't been fully implemented yet and already faces repeal. Which candidate do you feel is better suited to establish socialized medicine nation wide?

I’m totally willing to join a rebellion. It’s the form and substance of the rebellion that remains elusive.

Personally, I wish there were a way to separate red states from blue states under two governments so we could give it a go as two countries. We are just about evenly split in this country now with one half wanting liberal big-government socialism and the other half wanting conservative limited-government capitalism. And ne’er the twain shall meet. It’s revolving-door policies. We rotate between the two forms of government (w/ variations of each) depending on which party has control.

But conservative America is not yet ready for such a bold rebellion. And until they are, we must work within the revolving-door system we have, even if we want to establish a new conservative party.

I’m leaning heavily toward voting for the Republican nominee. The election is still six months away; the convention only three. Much can happen between now and then. (Natural disasters, race wars, civil unrest, economic collapse, the death of either candidate, terrorist attacks, etc.)

I’ll be praying about my decision until I walk into the booth.

I want every God-fearing, liberty-loving American to go to the polls and vote their conscience. I want a turnout greater than 2010. I want the tea party rebellion of 2010 to explode and go viral in 2012. I want grassroots tea party conservatives to be voted into as many offices at every level of government that is humanly possible. And if it is in accordance to God’s will then I pray that the new moral majority will drive out the godless abortionists, the homosexualists, the militant feminists, the whacko environmentalists, the statists, the socialists, the Marxists, the communists, the activist and internationalist “Rulers in black robes,” and all the corrupt crony capitalists, the evil doers and assorted enemies of God and Liberty from our government at every level and from all of our government and public institutions. I pray that we restore God and Liberty and sovereignty and freedom and self-rule and sanity to our great nation!!

Vote ‘em OUT!! Recall them!! Impeach them!! Overturn them!! Repeal them!! Throw out the anti-liberty, un-American, unconstitutional evil doers and their corruption, depravity and filth!! Restore freedom and Liberty!!

I do not fear Obama, I loathe him and want to see him and his co-conspirator Joseph Biden impeached, indicted, tried and convicted for high crimes and treason and jailed!! Or run out of office in disgrace like Richard Nixon. Let the newly elected tea party conservative Speaker of the House become the next president or let the newly elected conservative congress select a replacement president!!

But no way in hell will I ever vote for or endorse someone else for president who has a record just like Obama’s in every respect!!

We do not surrender, we reload!! And fight like hell!!
