No conservative - no vote

The big question that spawned many pundit opinions after Romney lost the presidential election: what happened to the four million Republican voters who didn’t vote for him?

To be honest, since Bush’s second-term win, there has been a steady decline in Republican voters in presidential elections, but that still doesn’t answer the question.

The blunt answer is that many “conservative” Republicans have grown tired of putting up faux support for RINO presidential candidates. This has turned into a snowball effect and will culminate in an even larger number of conservative Republicans not voting again in 2016 if there is another RINO presidential candidate foisted upon them by establishment Republicans and the liberal media.

I think we're all fed up with squishy candidates. I'm for Cruz or Walker or a combination of both.

romney believes the joseph smith lies about golden tablets and the angel moroni etc so as a Christian I will never vote for him until he denies Smith’s claims and Smith burned down a newspaper office in illinois before he was shot and killed

Early money is flying off the shelves to line the pockets of Jeb and Mit. They suck the oxygen out of any GOP victory.

The simple message to the Republican leadership should be:

“Bush, or Romney, or Hillary. None of them are worthy of our votes, because they all stand for the same thing, and it is not America.”

Mr. RomneyCARE was the candidate.

MR. RomneyCARE was the candidate during the time when
the PEOPLE HATE RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.
The EXEMPT GOP cannot be that stupid, so must be complicit.

Let the Chamber of Amnesty buy votes for their RINO lackeys like they did for Thad Cochran in his primary last year. They won’t get mine.

Romney is responsible for socialist medicine, gun control, sodomite unions, and other horrors in mASSachussetts ... so as a Christian I will never vote for him regardless of his allegiance to the Planetary Government of Kolob ...

I would rather let a liberal democrat into office than a RINO. Either way we end up at the same dismal place. When we get there, I’d rather the liberal democrats get full credit for the mess.

My fear is this:
- Hillary wins.
- Scalia, Thomas, or Kennedy retires/dies.
- She names a replacement justice in the mold of Ginsburg.

- from there, anything conservative that we pass - at *any* level of government - is automatically challenged in court by liberals and dies at the hands of Hillary & Obama’s robed goons

- conservatives ask, “why bother?”

I know it’s cliche to say “this is the most important election of our lifetimes,” but this one might be it. And it starts with nominating the right guy. No more squishes who will nominate Robertses or Souters or Kennedys.

If she wins and gets to replace one of those three, I see trouble.

I am at the no conservative no vote point, but I am even a bit further.

If Jeb Bush is the nominee, I will vote against him in the general.

If it’s Romney or Christie, I’ll stay home, but the fact that this jerk Jeb let a helpless woman be murdered by dehydration on his watch as governor of Florida is unforgivable and disgusting.

Were I governor of the state at the time, I would have brought her water myself even if it means going to jail.

I would have had anyone guarding her to prevent he being given water arrested.

No joke, that whole incident really upset me a lot, and I will do whatever it takes to keep him out.

I am in a state that he needs to win, and I am in a part of that state that he needs to win, and I will vote against him.

“I am at the no conservative no vote point, but I am even a bit further. If Jeb Bush is the nominee, I will vote against him in the general.”

We think alike.

I won’t stay home if it’s Romney, Bush, or Christie.

I’ll write in the name of Ted Cruz.

After 2012, I promised myself, “No more RINO’s.” For any office.

What Romney believes theologically is beside the point. What would he do as president?

the answer is: a few marginal things, but not nearly enough.

I think they would be fine with that message.

How would a Blackmun or a Brennan nominated by a RINO president differ from a Ginsburg or a Sotomayor?

We are past the point of elections being able to affect whatever happens in D.C.

Playing their game merely placates the whole people into believing the lie that they have a choice.

We do not.

We have already been fundamentally transformed, but Normalcy Bias prevents most from seeing the reality we now exist in.

You cannot stop tyranny via civil means. But we will continue to lie to ourselves because we do not want to face the hard truth.
