Win the election.

Then ALL BETS ARE OFF. From day one.

But win the election first.

For crying out loud. Win the election.

I agree with you...I said, I’m voting for Romney - I understand that Obama needs to go. But this needs to be settled with the GOP. Don’t worry...I understand the importance of winning now.

ron paul is about as far from being a conservative as you can get.

He's a gaw-damned creep.

If that was the "priority", then why did the GOP Party Bosses contrive to put a milqetoast jackass at the top of the ticket?

Didn't they figure this one out with McCain? Dole? Bush 41?

YOU CANNOT JETTISON YOUR VOTING BASE AND EXPECT TO WIN.

The Dems figured this one out with Clinton. Lost it with the thoroughly unlikable Gore. And got it back now with King Zero.

As the lead says, turn the lights out. What's done is done.

If your solution to that problem includes Willard, you won't get the desired outcome.

We've only been warning you about this since the LAST election.

“It did. The day after the election 4 elections ago.”

it’s been 6 elections ago, arguably 7.

There is an argument to be made for letting obama drive the train off the tracks, but I think that is a cruel argument.

The struggle begins anew the day after this election to instill conservatism in the GOP. I don’t think losing the presidency again is the way to go, but that’s another argument that can be made.

As I’ve already told you, the Presidency doesn’t matter. The only way it could have mattered was if the candidate was a visionary who had the ability to lead us through the troubles that ARE coming. Romney doesn’t have it...and all he did was show his hand yesterday in a power grab. A power grab he did not need to pull I might add. Up until yesterday...I was pretty much going to pull the lever for Romney.

Look to Europe and tell me of those countries in dire trouble...have elections changed or improved anything for them? The answer is no and the why to that no is weak leadership. This is why I say the figurehead of America doesn’t matter this time.

>>I am sick of faux Conservatives demanding that we drink the Romney/GOP-E hemlock.<<

I am sick of idiots thinking that sitting out and handing four more years to Obama is NOT drinking hemlock.

NO VOTES for RINOs. NONE.

NO VOTES for Romney who threw the last Election to Obama
by attacks on Gov. Palin.

The struggle is ongoing. Votes will be for
CONSERVATIVES and not for those that backstab them.

There is no logical reason to remain with a party filled top down with libs and dem lite. Even if you get hard right conservatives elected, the understaff/structure is old guarg GOP and as history has shown through leaks and such, they work to dethrone anyone not toeing the GOP line.

There is no fixing it.

If you have to vote for a flaming lib to oust Obama and sooth your conscience, do it. But then work to establish a new party that has a hope of success at forwarding what you believe.

I’v e been posting all night and am worn out explaining that either Romney or Obama will be the next President..I want Obama gone..I will vote for Romney.

We formed a circular firing squad here on more conservative candidates..Romney won the votes ...and we were shocked?..

Conservatives “can” fight Obama, you say, but they haven’t yet. They just cower in his presence, such as that silly Boehner.

You could not be more wrong.

Everything about your position now is wrong.

I understand it sort of, but it is 100% wrong now.

The fight is joined. Let us do battle the best we can with the fighters we have.

Then once the battle is complete, then regroup and fight some more.

Excellent point.

Worth repeating.

NO REPUBLICAN fights Obama. Not one.

You live in a swing state and you’re going to allow Obama to win Ohio?

The Ron Paul people have so many fooled into thinking they are tea drinking conservatives. They are dope smoking liberals.

You were going to pull the lever for Romney until yesterday.

Yea, Right. But, hey, it will get you lots of ‘attaboys’ from the anti Romney crowd.

Will you start campaigning with the SEIU in Ohio? Why not? You’re supporting that candidate.

If our only choices are Obama and Romney, then Obama has already won. Regardless of how you or I may vote...
