I am horrified at the prospect of Rudy McRomney, but there is no one--NO ONE--in the GOP field who would be even remotely as bad as Hillary Clinton. Do not cast a vote that helps her and call yourself a patriot.
I'm afraid voting only Republican does not make you a patriot. I hunt RINOs, not vote for them. People are too focused on the immediate election. It really doesn't matter if we avoid a Dem if we're just installing someone who won't advance the conservative cause.
I couldn't call myself a patriot if I let the Republican party know it had a monopoly on my vote no matter who it ran. Then why it do anything I wanted? What has the zombie allegiance to the Republican party left us with? John Paul Stevens, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, 33 years of the legal murder of 47 million children and open borders.
If the GOP wants to ignore conservatives, we will have to make them take notice. Conservatives should have been furious that the party took their money and threw the election away. Throwing my vote away would be to not vote or to hand the GOP my vote. I'm happy to vote for any Republican conservative. But when they don't put one up, I have to vote Constitution Party.
By the way, Obama's all but sure to get the nomination, not Hillary, which is an even darker prospect.
However, I want to reform the GOP. But if we were able to, the notion of Guiliani getting the nomination would have been shot down as soon as he announced the exploratory committee.
