oh yes.....

What is needed is a secondary. That is, a process to offer competing conservative candidates a chance to compete with the outcome being one conservative that will compete with the Rino in the primary.

BTW, Rino has come to mean “any body I don’r like”

[dforest]

Well, you pretty well summed up what is going to happen.

Mostly because it has already started!

[SoConPubbie]

We then are subjected to the breast pounding by those that declare with bravado that they will not vote

And you are going to hear a lot more of it this election cycle if Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, or Chris Christy get the nomination.

[Democrat_media]

Yes and some of those that do the breast pounding declaring that they will not vote are democrats posing as conservatives on this forum to deceivingly depress Conservative voter turnout. and a lot of sanctimonious idiots fist bump these mole democrats in solidarity : Result they both cheered when Obama got elected :Result the destruction of America and freedom.

Hmm. Maybe we should start calling them ABIDL’s?

(Pronounced ah-BIDDLES?)

Do you mean to say that there are leftwing trolls here on FR?

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

And BTW, what else is new?

[Uncle Miltie]

Yea, maybe. Most of those stating they will not vote for a Progressive Liberal, no matter which party they are a part of, are SINCERE conservatives.

Better get used to it, you're going to here it more and more if the GOP continues to field absolutely rotten non-conservative candidates like Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush.

“Right, Jesse?”

[Academiadotorg]

[Mr. K]

So...it's Free Republic's fault?

[Democrat_media]

it’s not just on freerepublic . there are democrat moles everywhere depressing conservative voter turnout ,the biggest marxist democrat mole is Michael savage.

One thing Huckabee had going for him in 2008, was that he wasn’t nearly as far to the left as the radical left winger, Mitt Romney.

In 2012 the GOP narrowly averted a total takeover by Romney and his wing, and Huckabee whether he runs or not, will not be nearly as destructive to the primary as Mitt Romney was for two primaries, and threatens to be for a third.

[rrrod]

Hate it but the sleaze huckster will draw evangelicals away from conservaitve candidates. All he has to is mention abortion and they will blindly follow him off a cliff.

WATCH THE REPONSES TO THIS POST AND THEY WILL PROVE WHAT IM SAYING.

[manc]

We have decent conservatives but they are forced out by the party, liberaltarians and the media.

[ansel12]

Ted Cruz will win the Evangelical conservatives.

[UKrepublican]

He could never be President, just doesn’t ‘fit’.

[VanDeKoik]

The only people stupid enough to vote for this guy are the morons that were part of the PTL church in the 80s.

There is no reason for the conservative vote to be split by this dope.

[VanDeKoik]

Sentimentality of substance.
