I didn't. I thought McCain was a liberal with a (R) by his name. And we got Obama for it. At least, though, I can say that I didn't know how bad he'd truly be.
Well, now it's 2012, and we DO know how bad he is. So, now, what's your excuse?

I'm getting really sick and tired of conservatives being four years behind the power curve.
(Heck, I noticed how big and overbearing our federal government had gotten by 2006... and what happened four years later? TEA parties.)
Complete BS.
Reagan passed amnesty in his 2nd term. G.W. Bush passed TARP. Clinton passed welfare reform. Three Presidents who did the opposite of what their bases wanted in their second terms. Just saying it could go either way with Obama. We may be able to force him to the right with a strong GOP Congress as we did Clinton.
Beating Obama is not worth the cost of destroying the conservative platform of the Republican party for 8 years or more. I fear a Romney 2nd term more than an Obama one because he would be able to pass all kinds of liberal policy under the GOP banner. That absolutely destroys our ability to sell a conservative message to the American public through the party. The GOP has tried to win this primary through disgusting, anti-conservative tactics. Rewarding them for that is insane if you're a conservative.
Instead of blaming conservatives for an Obama reelection, why don't you cast your eyes to the real perps - the GOP elite who bankrolled his destructive campaign?
Why is it they can keep putting up unelectable garbage and then turn around and blame the same people they just threw under the bus, again?
Hit abuse if you disagree with the post for donations.
I don’t agree 100 % with Breitbart either but, he has done more to expose the Left than most.
RIP Andrew.
Newt Gingrich is still in the race in case you haven’t noticed. Besides, this can go to a convention fight if Romney loses about 55% of the remaining delegates. Then we can fight for any candidate we want.
Kind of shocking that you guys still want to promote Romney when you can see right on FR that the conservative base won’t vote for him. You’re helping ensure Obama’s reelection by backing Romney in this primary.
Yes.
1.) Either: Romney will continue the disastrous Federal Overspending in 2013-16.
2.) OR: Obama will be IMPEACHED in 2013.
3.) Romney will lose in 2016 to another Soros Marxist.
4.) 2022 The RINOs will lose again to the Ultimate Soros Marxist.
5.) In 2029 there will be a firesale of the USA, as the National Debt will be worth pennies on the dollar. Happy 100 year Depression celebration!
dawn53, thank you for voting for Newt.
I am sorry to see you go after ten years here.
I hope you will reconsider. Tempers are short and passions are high.
Somehow, a plan will emerge from all this.
Maybe you don’t understand. We literally can’t vote for Romney. Our principles and our morals won’t let us do that and live with peace of mind. I just can’t “do that”, period.
Did you vote for Newt or send him a large donation? If not...
It may not be the way we like it,but it is what it is.
It is the way you made it as you already made up your mind.
I’m not going to give you grief over a vote for Mitt, but he’s not getting my vote only to see me trash him non-stop for four years.
I don’t share his values.
I’m sorry the party couldn’t do better, but consider me out.
You stated the facts so what is your question? Maybe it really was just a mistake that they held up announcing the wrong winner in Iowa. I could have told you years ago who the nominee would be, in fact I did tell you that we would have no voice in the process, at least not a voice that means anything.
The primary is rigged to prevent just the kind of rebellion you are now witnessing, we nearly undid them. They may have shut us down, but they will not get our vote period.
Well I don’t agree with you about not voting for Romney but I have to admire your passion. At least he’s not as bad or as obnoxious as Alan Grayson.
Accuracy and all that

Sad state of affairs, indeed. We either hold our nose and vote for Obama-lite, or be accused of re-electing the worst president in US history.
We’ve got serious structural problems with our government, power-elite-machines, crony capitalism, etc. And here’s what it’s wrought.
Seems a shame that we’ve finally gotten to the point where we can plainly see where our choices lie, and conservatism isn’t on the ballot.
If you want to harass me about my refusal to support Romney, do it here on the open forum. Stop freep mailing me with that crap. It’s a cowardly way to behave.
I refer you to Ann Coulter’s column of this week.
“anyone that’s willing to stand next to me to fight the progressive left”
Yep, I totally agree with him, expect for one thing, Romney isn’t standing next to me to fight the left: ROMNEY IS THE LEFT!!!
Ronald Reagan loved his son Ron and his daughter Patti, that didn't mean Reagan was evil.
