I'm a conservative who is registered as an independent. If the republican party wants my vote they need to field conservative candidates...if they refuse, then a party who does will get my vote.

You have it backwards. It's YOU and ME who have to field conservative candidates. How? By voting for them in primaries! *surprise* The political process isn't that difficult, isn't it? If conservatives can't decide which candidate they should support in the primaries, you will get RINOs or moderates. The problem is conservative disunity, not the Republican party.

Oh really?! Well, by the time there was a primary in my state there was 1 candidate. Here's my suggestion...how about the republican party hold their early primaries in states more representative of the bulk of the party?
