I don't trust any of the remaining Republican candidates to cut taxes, keep the country free of socialized health care, and continue to fight terror. The sole exception being Ron Paul, and he is an isolationist. What's left strikes me as a bunch of RINO's.

I call it the Benedict Ahnuld Shwartzen-liar-afication of the Republican party.

Yeah, I can't bring myself to vote for any of them. I can't even rank them from bad to worse. The whole field is absolutely putrid.

Romney campaigned (in 1994) as a fiscal conservative and social liberal. He declined, for example, to endorse Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America. “I’m not a partisan politician,” he explained. “My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses.”

He insisted that he was pro-choice and supported Roe v. Wade — “You will not see me wavering on that” — and he argued that he’d be more progressive on gay issues than Ted Kennedy. In a letter to the Massachusetts Log Cabin Republicans, Romney wrote, “I am not unaware of my opponent’s considerable record in the area of civil rights…For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponent’s record in this area. But I believe we can and must do better…We must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern.”

He's not an isolationist. He is just not for hyper-interventionism, nation building, propping up dictators, etc. But you ARE right when you say he is the only remaining candidate who will cut taxes (in fact he wants to get rid of the IRS and income tax!) keep us free from creeping socialism and big government, and he will restore our liberties that have been chipped away by the Dems and RINOs in Washington.

He is the ONLY true constitutionalist and old right Republican, and the ONLY one who can beat Hillary, because he can bring in the disgruntled Republicans, libertarians, constitution party and other third party independents and crossover Democrats. The RINO's (McHuckabomney) won't bring in those needed people to outnumber the Dems, and if we nominate any of those status-quo RINO's, we will lose.
