I won’t vote this time around except for state and local elections.
As long as we keep voting for the liberal Republican( as though conservative principles no longer matter), we will keep getting a liberal Republican. These candidates, other than Hunter and Fred, just make me too ill.
Probably by letting those principles slip away in small increments by voting for RINOs, we have damaged conservatism as we have known it. We have learned that we never get our way when we compromise values. We just get passed by.
I get the impression that the new book on conservatism has been written for the GOP. Appears to be a take it or leave it situation.
In my mind, in the Primaries, we have to select that candidate which is FARTHEST away from the Liberals and their philosophy. The two candidates who have the best chance of beating Hillary, or Obama, are Fred Thompson (My choice, because he is solidly Conservative and solidly Pro-Life by record, not just by what he says) and Mitt Romney would be my alternate choice (Though he’s the second most conservative of the runners, he’s not as dependable on the abortion issue, and we’ve GOT to have someone Pro-Life to go on the offensive against those barbarous (towards the unborn at least) Libs.
What we have to worry about now is not having Romney take votes away from Fred Thompson at this time, or vice versa. These two men have pretty much the same VERY conservative, and very GOOD people wanting to vote for them. We can’t allow McCain or one of the other false Republicans to get the majority of votes, due to a split of votes between the conservatives on ballot.
Hoping that those who are planning to vote for the liberal Republicans in these primaries will see the light soon and figure if they’re going to vote for liberal Republicans, they might as well be voting in the Democratic primaries for the OPENLY liberal Stalinists.
