I voted for Mitt Romney in 2012 in the general election and don't regret it. Despite what many in here say, he would have been better than that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave

I don't know yet for whom I will vote in the 2016 TN primary, but you can be sure that I will vote in the general election for whoever is our nominee.

I'll be damned if I will sit at home or vote for some third party candidate who has no chance whatsoever and therefore hand Hillary or Fauxtahona Warren the victory over. It will not happen, and if I have to hold my nose, so be it. It wont be the first time

I voted for Romney, after a lot of prayer as to whether I should do so, and being convinced in my soul that I should not. Jonah is wrong---no man who believes that "two people of the same sex who love each other (gag) should be able to adopt children" is decent and honorable.

Then Benghazi happened, and I deliberately ignored what I knew God was telling me. I voted for Romney anyway. The result was a long separation from feeling God's presence which began the day after the election. The difference was like night and day.

I learned a tough lesson. I will never again cast a vote for a Republican who might as well be a Democrat; the Godless views are the same, regardless of the letter after the name. And I don't care who the Dems run. Nothing is worth jeopardizing my relationship with God.

This is very reasonable, in fact, this is exactly how I thought, as a long time conservative Republican. But, I've since changed my thinking mostly as a result of how the Romney campaign, specifically, and the Republican Party, in general, behaved in Virginia during the 2012 campaign. I realized I was hated by them more than they hated Obama or the Democrats.

Thus, the only real choice we have is to vote for a genuine conservative or, if the genuine conservatives have been eliminated by the party, allow the Dems to complete the destruction of the country and hope that the country finally wakes up (and there is still enough of something left upon which to rebuild.)

I realize this is a risky strategy. . .but simply enabling the party elites while "holding our nose" is just delaying, by a few years, the inevitable, inexorable and catastrophic collapse. I say, conservatives now.. .or bring on the destruction as soon as possible so that the rebuilding can begin.

Save the flame. . .I fully accept the possibility that I may have gone insane.

I understand what you’re saying, and respect it, but so long as we reward the GOP moderates with our votes, they’ll have no incentive to nominate a conservative.

I just can’t do it any more. They’ll have to get by without me. I’ll donate to the men I believe in, and vote for the ones I can trust, but I won’t blindly cast a vote for anyone just because they carry the magic (R) after theIr name.

Whatever it takes to get the Party bosses to wake up. I don’t know what else we can do.
