As long as big money power determines our nominees and no one can come up with a way to introduce a viable third party, I will continue to vote for the person I consider the most conservative. Have yet to decide between Romney and Bush.

Jeb Bush was a good governor in Florida and I don’t want to hear that he did nothing to save Terry Shiavo. He did do everything in his power under the law.

My choice is still Gov. Rick Perry. A military veteran, patriot and skilled leader with the economy and American values.

Determining who is the "most conservative" between Romney, Bush, and a Democrat opponent such as Hillary or Warren, should be easy: the Republican. You vote for the Republican INTENDING and TRUSTING that he is more conservative. But in real ACTION, in actual on-the-ground material terms, the only thing accomplished is to voice your approval of seeing the Republican party embrace the Democrat agenda. You may INTEND a different outcome, but you will surely and certainly ACT to endorse leftist Republicans.

There's a great saying: "Risk is the price you pay for opportunity."

There is very little risk with a Romney or a Bush, if they win, especially if they win with a majority. We know absolutely what would happen with a leftist Republican in the White House: the Republican party would move hard left and conservatives in the Republican party would be made weaker. It presents a safe bet, very little risk. And very little opportunity.

Third party presents many risks -- and many opportunities. I have a duty and a responsibility to vote -- staying home, for me, would be dereliction of duty. So I will USE my vote to WEAKEN the mandate of whichever leftist wins, the R or the D.

Risk is the price you pay for opportunity.
