Conservatives (me included) will go to the polls in November, hold our noses, and vote for Mittens. Will I go out and work my a$$ off for the guy? Not hardly. Will many of the most hard core conservatives decide not to even bother to vote at all?

What utter garbage!

NO REAL CONSERVATIVE IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH NEEDS ROMNEY TO MOTIVATE THEM TO FIGHT IN THIS ELECTION AGAINST THE GRAVEST THREAT TO THEIR COUNTRY IN THEIR LIFETIME!

Any "so called conservative" who sits this one out is fraud!

“What utter garbage! “

Ah, the one advantage of being old. I've lived through these movies before and know exactly how they turn out.

In ‘92, too many people fell under Perot's spell and we were stuck with Clintoon. We also almost got a worse health care bill and the destruction of the 2nd amendment. I took almost the entire year of 1994 and worked my butt off to make sure we riled up every conservative to be found. And with hundreds of thousands just like me across the country, the 1994 Congressional elections tied Clintoons hands and pretty much saved the country. All that was left was to boot the “bend one” out of office and say “good riddance.”

What happened?

In 1996 Dole hung around until he got the nomination. Unfortunately he had a track record of being all over the place on many issues, and most conservatives had a high degree of distrust about his policies (almost everyone respected the man himself). All of the people that I had been able to call just two years before and get any help I needed, were now all “really busy.”

I'm sorry to burst anyone’s bubble, but the sad fact is this: If you want to fire up the base, you have to have a candidate that can fire up the base. It really doesn't matter how much they hate the other guy, it won't be enough. People have to be fired-up about their candidate, to be fired-up! And Mittens just doesn't seem to have the spark to fire up anybody.
