I am sick and tired of not have a candidate with a proven (not spun) background that show a solid social and fiscal conservative. Is it too much to ask for a candidate that is:

pro-life
pro-military
pro-gun rights
pro-1st amendment (both speech and religion)
pro-WOT
pro-states rights
pro-flat tax
anti-illegal immigration

Why does the GOP always expect me to hold my nose and support some RINO? I’m sick and tired of it.

Ditto. I don't like Romney or McCain. Since I live in Florida and it's an "All or nothing" State, voting for Fred or Huckebee is a wasted vote. I'm voting today, but I'm thinking about just voting on the amendments and not casting a vote for the primary.

I grew up in Massachusetts and still have family there. Romney signed the Gay Marriage act, supported strict gun controls, higher taxes (or "fees" as he liked to call them), and abortion rights. I'm willing to give a little on some issues, but I can't, in good conscious, support a liberal like Romney.

Well, the list certainly seems to be easy enough, but somehow you’re so right about the lack of a candidate who fits the bill. FredT was the man, but he didn’t catch on. Frankly I think he let the MSM stampede him from the race way too soon. But I don’t blame him, I blame those in the party who would not stand and be counted when the time came.

Maybe between now and the convention lots of people will come to their senses and realize that none of the current crop fits the bill. I think our best bet to get Fred back in the campaign is to keep the contest in a deadlock, so that come convention time there’s no way for any of the current bunch to sew it up.

I think Romney is going to take it in Florida today. I don’t know of anyone who voting for McCain. I really have to wonder about all the polls showing him to be such a popular force here.

For what it’s worth, I went with Rudy. I would like to have voted Romney, but when push came to shove I just couldn’t turn my back on Rudy, who despite his shortcomings, is the kind of man I think we need in these times. We’ll see.

Amen and right on! You’re not the only one that feels this way!

That is pretty much a partial list of Romney’s campaign platform. I don’t know how strongly he is pushing a flat tax.
