The RNC is not in charge of our lives or our destiny. It has no power to vet candidates, give them permission to run, force people to vote or not vote for them. The RNC is irrelevant to this enterprise. If conservatives want a candidate, they have to “emerge” him themselves. How did Howard Dean emerge when he was NOTHING on the DNC-scene? From the grassroots. How did Obama emerge when Hildy was THE candidate of the DNC, the Rat elites, the moneychangers, the media and on and on? From the grassroots. WE have to do this and quit blaming the mythical “They.”” Thank you for your civil answer. I concur.

Even though you are not responding to me, I want you to know this is the most rational, intelligent post in this entire topic.

No whining, running away from voting, the frank realization that if we want different candidates we have to get out and vote for them.

I agree 100%

That concurrence is mine. See, that’s an answer, not a tirade with just what NOT to do.

I like Duncan Hunter. Didn’t happen. McCain was successful with the McCain-Feingold nightmare, shows me he is a very successful, evil politician. He’s shut down the 1st amendment, and he is anti 2nd amendment. He calls himself a Republican, but he is really a dictator. Better to have a Dem in the White House with a somewhat balanced congress than to have 8 years of this guy making the schmooze to congress and the rest of the country to make it OK for Awnuld to run for Pres. next with the same kind of ego-maniacal, “I’m the King and will have my way” approach to leadership.

I have, in the past, voted the R ticket, just to see the party win whenever possible. I believe that a majority of us conservatives have. This system is failing conservatives. It has shown me that both parties are steering us toward one world socialism, the Republicans are just moving us a little slower. It’s time the party fractured and out emerges a truly conservative party, Hopefully, many registered Democrats would be on board for that too.

Sounds like I’ve been hitting the pipe, doesn’t it?
