If one reads enough of these blogs NO ONE IS A CONSERVATIVE. If you are looking for the perfect candidate, it won't happen. Why not eliminate RINOs instead, like Romney. OP RINOs put in by the establishment. The party picks seem to think they owe their allegiance to the Party and not the citizens.

By the standards of today's Freepers, Ronald Reagan would not be a conservative! He was divorced, a former Democrat and a former union member.

I agree with you completely... Where to start? Mebbe by defining Conservatism:

For reference:

Duncan Hunter:

Jim DeMint:

Tancredo:

Pence:

Now, on to potential candidates:

Romney:

Pawlenty:

Palin:

Perry:

See the difference? Until folks quit looking through rose colored glasses, and start voting on candidate's records (what they have DONE that causes them to BE conservative, *NOT* what they say), there will always be division.

There are too many conservatives who like the Rino's and say that the real conservative politicians are too far right for them. They'd never get on the ticket and if they did, it would divide us and another idiot dem would get in.
