I, too, am disappointed in the choice of Mitt Romney, but if conservatives vote for truly conservative men and women to represent us in the US House and Senate, AND if we watch them all and "hold their feet to the fire," then IMO, we may be able to drag Romney - and the rest of America - back in the RIGHT direction.
Just wondering what you think and where you stand on these other candidates....
Yes, if I lived in Missouri I would definitely vote for Akin.
Other points:
I don’t think that there are enough social conservatives in Congress to pull anybody anywhere.
I don’t think that the problem is people not voting for Romney. I think that the problem is conservatives being willing to vote for whomever the Party nominates. It only encourages the liberals to keep nominating increasingly liberal candidates.
Currently eating with my wife at the Veranda Cafe in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Better than politics. Get back with me when a conservative is nominated.
