What do you mean, where are the conservatives?

My context suggests I’m referring to conservative candidates running for president, not voters.
Out of a country this size the best we can do is what we’ve seen this past year? I pulled for Fred, but I have to admit he looked like time had passed him by. Where are the philosophical conservatives who might run for president? I’m tired of these “practical politicians” who sway with the wind. I just don’t know any deep conservative thinkers willing to be president or even an honorable politician.
I don’t know where the conservatives were. They weren’t running for President.
I’m sick and tired of Freepers blaming ME for Mitt Romney being the conservative choice. we choose from the people who actually step up and run for office. Some people think that supporters here PICKED the candidates and put them up.
Before Thompson entered the race, Romney was the only viable candidate, but I was hopeful that others like Gilmore or Hunter would make themselves known, or maybe even another guy.
But Thompson became the great conservative hope, which was fine, because he was pretty conservative (I’ve said many times that I considered him back in 2006, but figured the true-blue-conservatives of FR would never go for him because he wasn’t pure enough).
I’m watching results, and the scary thing is that Clinton got more votes than McCain, even when Floria’s democratic primary didn’t even count.
