"I see it starting up again..."

You know, there's a solution to that. Don't start it.

We said it over and over and over again before the election but I'll say it again. A vote for a candidate is a vote FOR a candidate. Period. When they come up with a column that counts votes against someone in the tally, maybe some people will use it.

The idea behind a third party vote is to attract enough people to make moderates and RINOs the third party through a united conservative voice. Some couldn't do that though, and I respect that.

The last election was the only one of my adult life in which I did not vote for the Republican candidate for President, but without significant change in the party structure and decision-making process, it will not be the last. I didn't vote for Obama; anyone who tries to tell me I did is wrong.

But let's use your own argument here. What did your vote for Romney mean, since you feel you can define my vote?

It meant your endorsement for a gun-grabber and the father of both Obamacare and state-sanctioned gay marriage. That's what you voted FOR, because that's how the votes were counted. Some of us couldn't do that.

Your vote also helped ensure iron-grip control over the GOP party apparatus for the moderates and liberals like Mitt Romney, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who are complicit in advancing Obama's agenda and stifling conservative opinion. Some of us left the Grand Old Plantation. You evidently chose not to, and I respect that, more than you seem to respect our choices.

With all due respect, I'll listen to no more lectures on who I MUST vote for, or what my vote for conservatism "really meant". That's how liberals work. I'll vote for the conservative.

I am with you totally on this now. I have HAD it with RINOs.

They GAVE the election to obama. I have learned a valuable lesson especially for the sake of my self respect. :)

I understand and respect what your decision was in the last election.

“But let’s use your own argument here. What did your vote for Romney mean, since you feel you can define my vote?”

It meant that she wants us to empower people like Gonsel kill more children in exchange for an almighty win.

Bottom line. Many people that voted Romney were scared and in hindsight see it was a horrendous mistake that further pushed the GOP leftward. But some people want us to keep doing it. At the expense of everything. Children included.

Over the top rethoric? No actual truth. Because actions like electing liberals that personally fund planned parenthood have consequences...dead children. Simple cause and effect. And hindsight is 20 20. Not one conservative or person claiming the mantle has an excuse now.
