>>. The people are the ones doing the voting and they are nominating the guy they are nominating.

Most people voting in the Republican primary are Republicans. Some are "unenrolled" who can vote in one primary or the other and in a couple states Dems can choose a GOP ballot. So far Mr. Romney has a huge delegate lead and will probably win the nomination.

Republican in Name Only? No, he's a Republican and most people voting for him are Republicans. Conservative in Name Only might be a better nickname (CINO?). The fact is that in many elections, the preferred nominee has been someone like George HW Bush, Bob Dole, George W Bush, John McCain, and now Mitt Romney. Change the nominating process if you must. Or convince the party establishment to go for someone who is totally conservative in your opinion.

What I think is interesting is that on the other side of the aisle I don't really hear too many people saying "I think Obama isn't progressive enough. I won't vote for him, even if it means electing Romney." In 2004 there were a lot more "Democrats for Bush" than "Republicans for Kerry". I have heard the term GOP-e, GOP-establishment. You could try to get an effective real conservative to run and hopefully win. Or you could have them run third party-- and ensure a win for Obama. Can Romney beat Obama? One recent poll says yes.

Which would have been worse:
1) President McCain and Vice President Palin
OR President Obama and Vice President Biden

Which would be worse?
1) President Romney and VP (whomever)
OR 4 more years of The One and Clueless Joe.

Abstain from voting for Romney if you wish, if it helps your conscience and your integrity.

...Four More Years...

"Thanks guys!"

That's easy. Marcus Tullius Cicero figure that out in 58 BC.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."

We have a traitor in the WH from the opposition party. Now you want to vote in a traitor from (and to) the Republican Party.

You are one clueless dude. Since when is PRO HOMO, PRO abortion, anti-traditional marriage, big gov't socialistic healthcare a Republican platform? Mitt says he's a republican and you believe THE known LIAR. Man are you easily duped and on something that is so obvious! When will you start thinking for yourself?!
