We're likely going to, since we can't decide which Not Romney Flavor Of the Month we want.

Surely, the independent-minded citizens of the State of South Carolina will reject this "hand-picked" choice of Obama and the liberal Republican establishment.
We, as conservatives, shouldn’t have to settle.Yes, only to support, or to vote for, Willard Weirdo Romney, isn't "settling," which implies a less than optimal choice, because Willard Romney is no choice at all for a movement conservative whether principled or pragmatic. To vote for, or support, Willard Romney, who as an unremarkable single term governor delivered RomneyCare with all its new rules, new taxes, its exchanges, its public option, and its mandates, is an effective betrayal of the core premises of a conservative line on policy or governance.
The only effective candidate to oppose a "consistent" advocate of such "redistributionist" ideas (described in this statement as "socialist/Marxist" views) will be a candidate who is equally consistent in understanding and articulating why the U. S. Constitution prohibits elected leaders from assuming a coercive power to "redistribute."
Perhaps that is why it is Ron Paul that the young people are preferring, because he is, at least, linking the President's means of implementing his "redistributionist" ideas to a corresponding loss of liberty for individuals.
Gingrich, of course, is the person most able to make that link in the minds of youth and all citizens and become a statesman in restoring the founding ideas; but, unfortunately, Paul's ultra-libertarian views on other topics is giving him the edge with young people.
Please, South Carolina, assert your individual wills to stop the so-called "progressives" in the Republican establishment from picking your candidate for you--a candidate who exhibits an insufficient core understanding or passion for the ideas of Jefferson and Madison. Repeating trite and familiar phrases from patriotic songs and former Presidents is not adequate to the task.
Remember, the Fall 2012 Democrat on the ticket is passionately devoted to a core commitment to the 'other' philosophy, which was soundly rejected by America's Founders in favor of the future liberty of us all. At the time of the founding, a term for it was "leveling" (read Samuel Adams on the subject), but today it is called by other names.
The Republican ticket, in order to win, must be able to convince voters that Obama's philosophy is leading, and will lead, future generations into slavery to government. That candidate must convince voters to study the unique ideas and principles which made America the place of refuge for oppressed people; and then, once they've studied, to choose liberty over slavery.
2012 may be the last call for a clear choice; because neglect of the principles of liberty, combined with a determination on the part of those who prefer coercive power and 'rulers,' has brought us to this point.
Konrad Adenauer in post WW2 West Germany did very well as their chancellor from 1949 to 1963. He was 87 when he retired and lived another 4 years.
Ron Paul is a medical doctor, in good health, and realistic about the LONG length of time required to downsize the Medical Entitlements of Medicare, Medicaid, and the illegal Obama”Care.”
The medical doctor as Veep could in just ONE year set up the blueprint to downsize the medical entitlements, and still have 3 years to ram it down the libs throats. ( Say “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,” libs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The odds are that the libs, (in “both” parties), will rally in 2016, and mount a massive reaction Campaign against President Willy Rom-Rom RINO.
But if Willy holds up his end of the “Vulture” bargain, and picks the bones clean on ALL the rotting crops in THE ENTITLEMENT PLANTATION, then he may be able to stay in office for a full eight years. Otherwise, the RINOs will be served Willy-Rom toast, and the cancer of Obamanation will again pollute our Republic.
BTW, Ron Paul would probably step down in 2016 and allow his son Rand to replace him as Veep AND continue thankless, ( except by us), task of keeping BIG Government RINO Romney on the Conservative side of the GOP Establishment RINOland. A DAILY “check and balance” system on BIG Government Willy Rom-Rom RINO. (Sort of a “Paul” cast over the flaming-lib tendencies of Willy Rom, the “Massachusettes Moderate.”)
BTW, BTW, REALITY knows no loyalty. Paul is the best AVAILABLE reality check to Willy Rom. So suck it up FReepers, and make the best of the cards that are being dealt, and DOWNSIZE the US Federal Government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I an tried of hearing about candidates who are nothing more than professional polititicians who really have done nothing but run for office.
Scott Walker is out there doing something about his state. I would vote for him.
Yep. Had years to learn how to work the system and get the liberal communists Democrats with the MSM to buy him the Presidency. Shame on us for being fooled. Another closet King Obama.
