When I walk into a restaurant and they tell me I have my choice of compost crepes or manure muffins and THAT’S IT ! ! ! I’m going to exercise my God given right to get up and leave the restaurant and go to Ruth’s Cris or some place that serves Allen Brother’s steaks. The RNC is already morally and ideologically bankrupt and IF THEY DON’T CHANGE THE MENU THEY WILL BE FINANCIALLY BANKRUPT and then we can replace them with something of better character.

You don’t have that option. Oh yes, you can ‘exercise your God given right’ all you want. In this restaurant, you can pick anything off the menu you want. You can even make something up and write it on the ‘menu’. But, when all is said and done, the cook is going to tally the vote and you’re going to get what ever the majority voted for.
Like it or not, you’re going to have either the Obamaburger with Tator Tots or the McCainwich with Fries for dinner for the next four years. Now, you can make a rational choice between the two and only the irrational would claim there is no difference or you can say that you don’t care, let someone else choose for you.
“The RNC is already morally and ideologically bankrupt and IF THEY DON’T CHANGE THE MENU THEY WILL BE FINANCIALLY BANKRUPT and then we can replace them with something of better character.”
Quit blaming the RNC for this situation. The ‘real conservatives’, the ‘principled conservatives’ brought this on themselves by failing to unite behind a single conservative. Oh, I remember how after each primary, when the call arose to ‘vote someone off the island’, all the ‘true and principled conservatives’ insisted that everyone be invited to the next debate. I remember the firery statements here on FreeRepublic ‘if the RNC doesn’t let my candidate into the debates, why I’ll hold my breath and....” Even the ones who couldn’t get enough votes to be elected dogcatcher in a one stop light town.
That great Bogey Man, the RNC doesn’t run the primaries. Those are run by the states parties. The state parties set the rules, not the RNC. The RNC doesn’t decide who gets to run in the primaries. That’s up to the candidates. The RNC doesn’t determine who wins. That’s up to the voters. In fact, if you want to blame anyone for this mess, then blame the voters.
