Romney is just the GOP establishment’s lead runner. He’s not their only boy in the race and the establishment is who we need to defeat.

If conservatives don’t do it, they shouldn’t blame America for re-electing Obama. They could have stopped a bad nominee and didn’t do it when they had the chance. Its good to see conservative leaders waking up. Better late than never!

I know there is a lot of time but I'm afraid the fix is already in.

Even if it takes a convention draft, we can't let that worthless liberal bastard get the nomination. That goes for Huntsman too.

RINOs are lying manipulative bottom feeding scum. If they can’t win, they’ll hand a race to the democrats just so they can say “we told you so”.

The GOP is out of second chances and either doesn’t care or is too stupid to realize it.

If a 3rd party arises, we probably will lose but it will be the fault of the GOP itself but they’ll blame the “stupid voters” who didn’t do as they were told. I don’t call it the Grand Old Plantation for nothing.

From my perspective, if the left doesn’t hate my candidate, I don’t have the right candidate. The left has become so extreme and ideological, not to mention anti-American, that I can’t imagine electing someone they actually like.

Further, it really doesn’t matter if we put up someone they supposedly ‘like’. They will still vote against them. Any ‘independents’ that we would lose because we put up a true conservative candidate aren’t really independents anyway.

The fix may be in, but he ain’t gonna get there with my vote. If he is the nominee, I am writing in someone.

"spokesman and activist Ali Akbar"

Am I the only one who noticed? This must be some sort of joke right?

Good point. Who knows? Nothing surprises me these days.

Just convince the left that Romney will be secretly partnering with Sarah Palin behind closed doors and they will go after him like a hornets nest dropped in a bouncy ball room.

The GOP sure isn't making things any easier by pandering to every fringe group there is and pushing the conservatives to the side. The GOP Proud's "Ho Ho Homocon" is a beautiful example of what happens when you pander.

...according to spokesman and activist Ali Akbar.

Ali Akbar? Is that an alias?

Of course. I just don’t want to see him defeated and Establishment number two winning. We need a real conservative this time.
