And I don't think Romney hates the USA. No, he wasn't my first or second or third or forth or fifth choice, but he wasn't Obama, who has been far worse then I could have imagined. If I/we only vote pure 100% Conservative it will only mean many more years of leftist rule. We're divided, they are not. I live in NY state and was in one of only a few red districts. It's now blue. The few Republicans in this state are split. And we get things like Cuomo, the SafeAct and high taxes. I don't really get a vote. I can't leave just yet.
Also, if the Senate stays D and a Supreme Court Justice up and dies, Obama can pick as hard left as he wants. Yes, there are people more radical then Ruth Bader Ginsberg to give a life appointment to. Would the Republicans stop a far left from being confirmed? I can't say for sure. But I can say 100% for sure a D Congress would approve Bill Ayers for SCOTUS if Obama demanded.
I hear you. That's why I voted for Romney in 2012.
But the past is the past, and I do not believe that the current GOPe, or any of the "moderate" candidates being touted for 2016, will take active steps to undo the Obama legacy.
They will move to "fix" Obamacare, but they will not work to repeal it. They will still work for amnesty, will not reduce government spending, will not slash taxes, will still continue the federalization of education (notice how "moderate" Mike Huckabee condemns conservatives for attacking Common Core), and will continue to back down or remain silent whenever some leftist politician accuses them of being racist, against the poor, or Islamophobic.
So I will not vote for any RINO candidates from this point on. For me it's either Ted Cruz, or someone very like him, or not vote at all.
The blame for a continuation of corrupt Democrat control of Congress and the White House belongs to the GOPs, not to conservatives like me.
You can't blame conservatives for Romney's loss. He got more votes than McCain did in 2008.
Romney was defeated by voter fraud -- the same fraud machinery that the Republicans won't attack because they use the same machinery against conservatives in the primaries.
