The reality was that the choice was between Romney and Obama--no brainer. Romney was far more acceptable than Obama. We must start living in reality.

The reality is, that as a conservative Christian, I cannot vote for someone who is purposefully taking stands against God's laws, under any circumstances. To do so would harm my relationship with God and that is the most important thing to a Christian, or should be.

I'll ask you the same question, what Republicans will you find acceptable to vote for for president? Remember, be realistic.

Anybody who is both a fiscal AND social conservative. Otherwise, I vote third party.

And I'd bet that a lot of conservatives, a lot more than in 2012, are now in that boat as well. The GOP better get it's house in order if it expects to win another Presidential election.

Knowing what I know today, the following conservatives are acceptable to me:

1. Sarah Palin
2. Scott Walker
3. Jim Demint
4. Senator Cruz

Both Jindal and Rubio are 2nd tier, and Rubio is problematic being the Amnest Queen that he is.

I can think of noone else right now that hasn't proven themselves to be unreliable in terms of either Fiscal or Social conservatism.

Does making it easier for the worse evil to win, knowing that Obama or Romney would be the next President, make things right with God? Anyone who believes that Goode or any other third party candidate had a chance can stop reading now.

You're missing the real problem, which is that Americans in general have moved to the left. That's why we keep getting RINOs instead of true Conservatives. Do you honestly believe a real Conservative could have beaten Scott Brown in Massachusetts for the nomination. I don't.

We need to win Americans to Conservative values if we're going to get Conservative candidates again. Blaming the GOPe may feel good and be the easy way out, but all it will do is take Conservative votes way from the Conservative choices we have.

I spent a lot to get ABR nominated, but it didn't happen. In a situation where either Obama or Romney was going to be our next President, I wasn't going to make it easier for Obama to win by voting third party.
