“It obviously needs to be repeated again and again on this conservative website: If you are not prepared to vote for the Republican candidate (even Mitt Romney) to defeat Barak Obama, you don’t belong here.”

Mr. Plantation Overseer, you might want to issue your directives to the site’s owner, just to see how quickly he jumps to compliance upon your say so.

As for me, if Mitt Romney is the best the GOP can come up with, the GOP is part of the problem. If the best the GOP can come up with is Romney, the GOP needs to be ground out of existence.

Like a free bird from a great height, I eject high velocity guano all over Mitt Romney and any organization or individual who would assist his creep to a higher and warmer rock.

I will crawl over broken glass to vote against Mitt Romney. Bank on it.

I'm starting to enjoy it when people report me to JimRob. I really am. I can't remember if Jim has an opinion on Paul versus Romney, but I generally respect his intelligence enough to be convinced that he knows at least this: In a two party system, any failure to vote for the least undesirable candidate from one of those two parties is mathmatically equivalent to a vote for the MOST undesirable candidate. That includes ill-advised protest votes such as write-ins and third party candidacies. Justify things any way you like: If you fail to vote, write in Sarah Palin, or vote for Gary Johnson, Ron Paul or Donald Trump, it is still the equivalent to voting for Barak Obama. I believe libertarians when they say they see no difference between Barak Obama and ANY of the other Republican candidates. I also believe that Dr. Paul himself has no intention of winning. He just wants as much time on the stage as possible. Personally, I will be voting for Rick Santorum, if I get that chance. I don't believe that I will, so my next imperative WAS to ensure that Mitt Romney does not win the GOP nomination. Ron Paul, who can't win, is sure looking like he will sabotage any and all alternatives to Romney. I am sure that that was not his intent, but that is what he is doing. In the end, he present the 120mm Americans who vote with three options: Obama, Romney, or a protest vote (which will equal a vote for Obama).

Again, I can't stand Mitt Romney, but I am smart enough to understand that he is preferable to Barak Obama if only because we won't get three more Elana Kagens on SCOTUS under him.

I will repeat my point in a way that you can perhaps understand: If you see no difference between the Conservative candidates (Dr. Paul is a libertarian, not a conservative) and Barak Obama, you don't belong on this website.

I would like to add Newt Gingrich to that list. Anyone who considers them self “conservative” in the least bit needs to have their head examined for supporting either of them. If that's what the GOP stands for today than I want nothing to do with it. Newt or Romney will destroy the GOP for years to come (not that it hasn't already been doing this to itself for years). The last thing this country needs is another big government conservative! It my view they are worse than democrats/libtards b/c they water down and distort what it really means to be a conservative.
