And if any conservative doesn't vote for the Republican, conservative or not, then they are saying they want four more years of Obama.
I'm 100% in favor of fighting to get a conservative as the nominee. I also believe in the saying that we should vote for "the most conservative candidate who could actually win." In this election, I think most of our conservative candidates could actually win, so that's not a huge issue for me.
NONE of our candidates is as conservative as me. My favorites, Gingrich, Bachmann, Cain and Santorum have all said things I disagree with from time to time. What I'm railing against is the tendency of FReepers to label someone as "not a conservative" when they're wrong on one issue, despite being conservative on 50 issues for every one they get wrong.
Republicans shouldn't take our votes for granted. The GOP doesn't deserve them "just because". Many FReepers are independent conservatives for a very good reason.
If I were the richest man on Earth the RNC and the partys' other organs would get not a penny ever.
