"It is the GOP’s responsibility to provide a real conservative candidate."

The Party has a system.

Members of that Party who wish to be elected to political office, campaign for the votes of the membership during the primaries, and one gets chosen at the Party's Convention.

I would probably be a quicker, cheaper procedure if the Party's leadership just called you and asked you whom to nominate so that they could get YOUR vote, but then, they'd have to do that with everyone.

If you are a registered Republican, and you do not vote for the candidate chosen by the membership of the Party, then you are a Republican in Name Only...a RINO.

If you "would rather have Hillary" ("A LIBERAL") for any reason whatsoever, because you expect the Party to oppose her policies because they are liberal, EVEN IN LIGHT of the fact that you claim that you would rather have her than a Liberal nominated by the GOP, then you're either a liberal yourself, or just plain stupid.

Since my state doesn't have party registration, then I guess that wouldn't make me a RINO by your definition. You can still call me a RINO if you like, but one thing you can't call me is a liberal. The only reason I have ever been a Republican is because they have supported conservative positions. If they don't, then I won't be a Republican.

Personal attacks aside, my preference is to NOT have a liberal at all. That being the case, I won't vote for one regardless of his or her party affiliation. I think that either Rudy or Hillary will do grievous harm to the nation, but I think that Rudy would also do grievous harm to the GOP as well. I won't be a part of it.

Let me ask the question again: If Hillary changed parties and ran as a Republican, would you vote for her? What if Zell Miller were the Democrat nominee, and Hillary got the GOP nomination? Would you still vote for Hillary?
