This election is do or die, literally, for everyone who opposes Obama.Uniting behind the
republican candidates is the only way to stop Obama, even then it is going to be an uphill
battle. I know that Libertarians thought that this was going to be there big opportunity, but it is not.
Sorry, but your timing is off.

Word wrap is off and I don’t know how to fix it.

I am as conservative as anyone here. I despise voting for RINOs and GOPEs and it compromises my conservative principles, but that battle must be fought in the primaries.

When it gets to the general, voting for someone other than the RINO or not voting at all will certainly make us feel good, but in reality the only thing it does -- the only thing -- is help elect the Democrat-Socialist.

If we can't "send the message" in the primary, we sure as hell aren't going to send that message by losing in the general. (And believe me, it hurts to say that.)

“This election is do or die”

Same thing I was told last time. And they really meant it then too. Yet here we are.

Then elect more RINOS and stop trying to tell the rest of us to share your situational ethics because our principles will not be compromised.

We’ve done it your way since at least 2008. Look at where we are today. Thank you NOT.

I told you. You didn’t listen. Same plan as ever that we can’t ever enact because people vote RINO.

Vote for conservatives or don’t vote at all.

These RINOs won’t vote for a Conservative, so it is a self-fulfilling prophesy. These RINOs are super geniuses.

You presume the process was legit and valid.

IMHO, the voting process is a joke. The ‘debates’ (sound bit factories), open primaries, voter fraud (w/ no prosecution), pandering, etc.

Just how quick are most States/voters disenfranchised? IE: 1st few months of the general, maybe 10 States, and the ‘winner’ is on the ballot? What about the other 40 States votes? Same with urban centers over-riding the will of the rest of the State (4 cites in FL decide the whole?!)

Sorry, no. We need to reform the process FIRST. States should be standing up to D.C.; the hell with Congress/etc.

The line between the lesser of two evils is getting very thin.

Shhh, you are giving away the decoder ring. LOL. Not one dime’s worth of difference.

Yeah, but you’re pretty much the poster boy for enthusiastic acceptance of the premise that we’re doomed and that it’s hopeless. If I were a liberal I would wish that all conservatives were like you.

I’d like to know when I get my 80% of Conservatism, cause all I see is all lefty, all the time.

Things would have been a lot different if Republicans had not sat out the election. I know that you see that, it is undeniable. If you can’t see how much better off we would be with Mitt Romney, it would be best if you just sit out all future elections.

you’re not adult enough for reality.

Warning: you don’t want to go there on anti Estab cred. You will lose. But I have a tremendous understanding of reality. You’re soaking in the purity of your own irrelevance.

I hope this thread gets passed around right wing circles. If I were on the fence about the GOP, their fans here have really helped OUR cause. I mean most of these things is a bashfest waiting to happen but not a single one of the no matter what crew will touch the fact that the GOP just GUARANTEED amnesty if we vote them into power.

The only conclusion that makes any logical sense is that knowing that, these defenders themselves WANT that amnesty and all the death and suffering it will bring just to claim victory.

Boy THAT is conservative and good for America. And it has the added bonus of being the exact Dem position too!
