So what you are saying is, you are a Republican and not a Conservative.
Got it.
That's exactly what they want you to do. It's their 'sucker' game they play with the Conservatives!!
I'm out of that game....I won't do it anymore!!
On the contrary. I am a conservative.
However, if we cannot get an ideal conservative candidate nominated, any "R" is better than leaving Obama in office. I believe it would be easier to pressure a Republican President to sign onto conservative legislation and adopt conservative public policy, than it would if Obama were left in office.
Seriously, do none of you "conservatives in priciple" not see it the same way? An abstain vote against Romney, or a write-in vote for a "serious" conservative is a de facto vote for Obama. And if Obama is elected by default to a second term, the damage to our country will be beyond repair.
