“I am out to defeat the GOP establishment in any and every form that may take.”
First defeat Obama, THEN defeat the GOP establishment.
The first preserves the country, temporarily, the second is a more important philosophical change.
The fact is that even among supposed “conservatives” a large number of them get a check from the government, and as such, have a very big stake in the status quo.
Conservatives are outnumbered in the GOP. Destroying the country with another Obama term in order to save it from a status-quo GOP is hardly advisable.
How many of you who refuse to vote for Romney get government financial support, I wonder?
Wow, the number of Freepers that have drunk the Kool-aid. Enjoy Mitt. The GOPe will be laughing at you guys for the next 8 years. I really think Mitt will destroy this country faster than Obama can. Conservatives can fight Obama, can keep him from doing ANYTHING. Good luck fighting the GOPe AND the Rats together. We need to ignore the top of the ticket and put together a CONSERVATIVE party for 2016. We need to vote for every CONSERVATIVE down ticket. We need to do this NOW! But no, all you hear on here is we’ll do this next election, this one is too important. Yeah, I heard that last time and time is running out.
I agree with you, I’ll vote for Romney, but only because he is not Obama. As far as the down-ticket goes, I’ll vote for the most conservative candidate no matter what the party.
Next time though... I think McConnell is up again for re-election and I’ll vote for his primary opponent. He is one the really needs to go into retirement.
And if a real third party develops... Well I think I’ll switch over to it. The Republican establishment is nothing more than Democrat lite.
