If Romney is as terrible as his detractors here say he will be, I still think he will be no worse than Obama, and we can primary him in 2016.

Can you point out to us when the last time a sitting President lost a primary?

And, if Romney is as bad as Obama, things WILL be worse. Why? Because the party in the White House is blamed when things go bad. That means Republicans will be losing seats under Romney in Congress and at the state level. If Obama is a disaster, Republicans will continue to gain seats in both Congress and at the state level.

My strategy is to support the most conservative candidate who has a chance of winning in every race always

How did that strategy play out with the Bushes? Did the country move to the left under both? The lesser of two evils strategy simply continues to move the nation to the left. Liberal ("moderate") Republicans advance liberalism, not conservatism.

The way to deal with RINOs is to replace them with conservatives whenever you can.

You never have the guts to hold Republicans feet to the fire. You'll vote for anyone the Republicans put up.

Yep. Well-said statement derived from straight thinking. And it is why your tagline is so true, and why a third party vote at the top of the ticket, entirely neutral as to influencing the count toward either Obama or Romney but instead ultimately working to weaken the victory of whichever authoritarian tyrant wins, is both the only and best choice for conservatives.
