I see your criteria as being idealistic but not realistic.

Funny, that... because my so-called idealism is exactly what the Republicans say they stand for. If they STOOD FOR what they SAY they stand for, I would be a Republican even now.

Apparently you have not voted the Republican candidate since Reagan....

Voted for plenty. Supported even more.

Look what Ross Perot gave us...

Look at what Lincoln gave us...

I suggest you take off your rose colored glasses and try living in the real world where ideals are things we strive for but reality is what we compromise for.

I think you are confusing 'compromise' with 'capitulation'. There is plenty of room for compromise, once Conservative principles have been met.

By the time you find someone to meet your ideals, I am afraid you won't have a vote as the US will be like Cuba Venezuela, etc just a sham.

I think it already is a sham.

The liberals were winning because they used incramentalism to move the country,but now they got greedy and went for the whole banana. Is that your plan also?

No, the liberals are winning because no one opposes them. The ones who say they oppose them keep ~~capitulating~~ er... 'compromising'... To the point that the most liberal SOB in the Republican party is calling himself a Conservative... and they are letting him... And in fact, are gonna VOTE for him as such!

Romney certainly is not my first choice but he is head and shoulders above the alternative. A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step and this is a step forward not backwards. If you choose to help move the country backwards that's your choice, but I think its foolish and centered in liberal thought not conservative thought. Utopia is a fantasy and changing things overnight without a bloody revolution is also a fantasy.

So the upshot of your argument is that voting for a liberal is the conservative thing to do - WAIT!... Think about that exponentially before you reply.
