"As a Conservative, I would rather back a Conservative Republican Candidate and see him lose the Presidential Election on principle"
I have a great deal of respect for you.
But please consider the consequences: UNCHECKED Marxist Dem power: Dem President, larger Dem Control of both Houses of Congress AND activist judges nominated and confirmed by Dems, handing ALL THREE BRANCHES of the US government over to the treasonous, socialist Dems.
Conservatives need to focus on the big picture. You can see all the damage the Dems are already doing to the country, by weakening us against the terrorists -- just imagine the damage they will do with a Dem president for 8 years and teh judges who will be there for the next 40-50 years.
It's just a name.
Conservatives need to figure out where we go from here.
It's early.
I seriously hope Fred Thompson throws his hat in the ring.
Barring that, I'm in a wait and see mode.
Very well said my FRIend.
It makes one hope with furvor that DUncan Hunter gets more exposure, (I see him as the closest to a true conservative of ANY of them declared thusfar) and lacking that, I pray that Fred Thompson gets into this race soonere rather than later!! We need to have his views heard LOUD and OFTEN!
Perhaps I'm a conspiracy theorist, be I believe the Republican Party leadership is deliberately using and manipulating the threat of a takeover by evil nasty Democrats as a means of keeping power. They would rather keep the country on the edge of oblivion than allow conservatives to gain enough traction that they didn't have to be in constant fear of liberals.
Your last line says it all. I would rather fall with my principles intact than stand OR fall without them.
At this point it looks like the whole primary process is based on avoiding the tough questions.
The candidates are running because they want to run in most instances. They are not being offered up by the party.
You act like the liberal media had no input into Republicans losing control of Congress. In fact, it was the major reason.
And if we elect RINOs, what will be our plan in future? As far as I can tell, the long-term effect of electing RINOs is to ensure that the Republicans of the future will be more leftist than the Democrats of today. And if we can't survive today's Democrats, we certainly won't be able to survive tomorrow's RINOs.
Same here.
Instead, they just let them get by with it.
Disgusting.

It's still early.
I have a hunch that it will work itself out.
But right now, we conservatives are justifiably angry that there are those in our midst who place power over principles.
That's used to be the Democrat MO.
Conservatives who can't win are ultimately as bad for the my principles as Liberals who can.
The candidate I choose is usually somewhere between the two. Which at this juncture leaves out everyone but Mitt Romney.
The leaders of the republican party are not that smart or their libs but I repeat myself.
Really? So you were elected to speak for the "base"? You took a poll of the "base"? Or are you possibly projecting your opinion as the "base"'s opinion?
