Hopefully this "fight" isn't that akin to one out of a wet paper bag.

At this point in time he would get my vote on a primary ballot.

At this time I will refuse to vote for "Rooty", "McNumb-nuts" or Mitt in the general election (voting instead - write in candidate if necessary - against those candidates and for whatever U.S. Constitution Party member candidate exists).

By so doing I'd vote "against" all political ideologies that I believe are not for the very philosophical ideals tht I believe to be fundamental to the continued existance of the Republic. In so doing I don't compromise my political position, and whatever results may bear true next November election will not be on my shoulders; the country receives what it deserves (the democratically elected government one recieves is the one that is deserved).

Well said, When I have a minute of down time I am doing something to get Hunter elected. That said, it is certainly hard to keep charging hard when you feel you are continually fighting an uphill battle.

In the time of “Run, Fred, Run” it was clear the resources were being withheld till he announced one way or the other. I threw up a few caution flags and maintained that we should, support the Conservative we have already and not be so eager to put all our eggs in one basket. The Thompson campaign had all a campaign could ever dream of having and then some. I have watched him (them) squander it all. Whether it is proud arrogance or total lack of zeal, I haven’t a clue. When he announced, the nomination was his for the taking and we all watched this extraordinary opportunity squandered.

I think Fred will be out by South Carolina. He is behind Romney And Rudy there right now, it is very close. That is the South and if he loses there, he is done. I think he will quit. Huckabee’s 15 seconds of pandering and apologetics will be up by then as well. So, by the time the primary finally rolls around in my state I will have the choice of Rudy or Romney. If that is my choice, I totally agree with you; I could more enthusiastically write-in someone or just stay at home. As you so rightly pointed out; The GOP and its electorate created this mess, we didn’t.

Yes, we get what we deserve. And if the GOP continues to drift left, we are in a world of trouble.

If only every voter would, like you, vote on conviction of principle for the best candidate rather than on a polling basis.

That said, I have a hunch - just a hunch - that we're in for a bit of a pleasant surprise...
