Welcome to FR, Bryan. Your post is about 6 months premature.

So Romney's a RINO, what else is new.
I don't know what the Idaho GOP believes but if they follow the party line, they do agree with him.

you registered today just to post a vanity.

Not what I would call a long time conservative activist.

The supposedly conservative Iowa GOP is featuring Romney at their convention this weekend, too.

RINOs on parade...

Good first post.

I've asked some of my friends who are delegates to the Idaho convention this weekend to ask some of the same questions you have asked.

The RINO state party chairman is reportedly going to make an attempt to radically water down the state party platform. Conservatives beware.

The other big issue that will be addressed in Idaho Falls is whether or not to close the primaries.

Open primaries are a liberal's dream come true...it's time to put a stop to their scam so that the conservative base of the GOP can choose their own leaders in future elections...and not have them chosen for them by liberals.

After the shellacking Idaho RINOs just took in the primaries, you'd think someone would have learned a few lessons.

Romney is a socialist engineer ala the Clintoons and the Kennedy clan.

Romney's values are not conservative. His values and party affiliation represent the same kind of fakery displayed by Sorenson in her run against Bill Sali for the 1st congressional seat. Romney is a flaming liberal. He plays the same set of cards as liberal democrats in Idaho who claim to be Republicans in order to get elected.

My vote goes to conservatives who are Republicans as well. A conservative who claims to be a democrat is just asking to be marginalized by the dems. Ultimately, such an individual caves to party pressure in an attempt to be relevant.

I'll add my FR welcome.

We always need decent Christians like you here who aren't afraid to put feet to their beliefs.

The only things in that whole thing that really matter are budget related ones. He can support and be in favor of all types of things and it doesn't matter. I don't have a problem with him saying he isn't going to actively try to change Roe v. Wade, it isn't his job as governor and wouldn't be his job as president. We have had many pro-life presidents in office since 1973 and what has been done about abortion? Not much, so I don't think that particular issue is very important in a president. Now for a legislator it would be very important.
