Warning: A Vote for Jeb (or Christie or Romney or Rubio, etc.) is a vote for Hillary

_____________________________________________

Blah, blah, blah.

Someone (me, maybe) will counter that by saying NOT VOTING for Jeb (or Christie or Romney or Rubio, etc.) is a vote for Hillary.

Absolutely.

As for Jeb, I’ll vote third party in the general if he is nominated. Even Christie and Romney look good next to him.

So all the "pragmatic" conservatives who bit the bullet and voted for RINOs once again in November 2014 got their reward with the Republican votes for Obama

Lie #1. In the general election, conservatives stayed home, they didn't vote for Obama. Try to at least start your thread with a smidgeon of integrity.

If a RINO is the gop candidate, I will double the effectiveness of my vote, hold my nose and vote for the dim.

Now, with the recent Boehner/McConnell betrayals, is the time for the Tea Party to fight back HARD!

Burn the gop to the ground, it is the party of Reagan no longer. Allow something productive to grow from the ashes.

Well, I think reality is that anyone who votes for a RINO in the 2016 primaries, or in the general election, is voting for Hillary (or Warren or whomever the Democrats choose). Plain and simple.

Lie #2. If you vote for a republican in the general election, it is not a vote for the democratic candidate.

Uuuummm - the last time Obama was on the ballot was 2012.

What the writer meant was the RINOs in congress voting to support Obama’s agenda.

RINO’s (95 percent of GOP Congress) should be double opposed in primaries and general elections even if its just having a write-in because election laws are written by the big parties against third parties.....

Yes. By all means say that. Make sure the GOPe hears you loud and clear, so that they won't have even the slightest trepidation about ignoring or even attacking conservatives.

I think we need to coin a name for people like you: "Bergdahls."

Maybe you need to reread what I said. I think you missed the point, because you were so eager to make an accusation that you leaped before you looked.

Please explain the difference between a Hillary presidency and a “please don’t hate me, I’m really pretty much like Hillary” presidency.

I will not only NOT vote for a RINO in any election, I will vote for the dim, if the gop puts up a RINO. If the gop won’t respect its conservative base, then it is worthless and needs to be destroyed. Since the 2014 election, the gop is proving itself pretty much worthless....

Why? Because every self-respecting conservative will refuse to vote for a RINO presidential candidate in 2016, either in the primary or the general election

Although I agree with the rest of your post regarding getting a conservative elected in the primaries, this is still not true. After getting Obama twice by not voting for the GOPe candidate, conservatives should have learned their lesson and regardless of who the republican candidate is, every conservative needs to get behind whoever wins the nomination, even if they are not the second coming of Ronald Reagan.

Conservatives care to their core for our republic.

The GOPE couldn't care less.

The GOPE wing of the Uniparty is quite ambivalent if the Beast or Lying Bull wins in 2016. Their perks, honors and future lobbying gigs will remain intact.

FoxNews had one of their polster/commentators on this morning. He said that, if Jeb doesn’t run, Hillary won’t; and if Hillary doesn’t run, Jeb won’t.

He tried to say that they are basically the same, complement each other, and need each other.

==

Not sure what he was trying to say, but even the host was sort of shaking her head at that.

As long as the GOPe thinks conservatives will do that, there will never be another conservative candidate again.

How many more illegal aliens, EPA power grabs, nationalized education programs and trillion dollar spending sprees do you think our nation can survive?

And what can we call a person like you who starts off saying DON’T vote for Jeb, yet concludes OK, lets go ahead and vote for Jeb.

Are you still hungover from New Years?

Sorry. I didn't think I'd need to add a "/s" to make clear that I was being sarcastic in that last paragraph.
