Michelle was an active, practicing Democrat in college. Her "deal" with Romney takes her out of the running as a reliably Conservative individual. Plus, horror of horrors, she caved in to public pressure and switched out of her traditionalist church and joined one measurably more in tune with Main Stream doctrines. It's OK to be brought up in such a church and become Conservative. It's wrong to be brought up Conservative and then go Left! Jesus doesn't do "Left".

That's why I exclude her from the crowd of PURE BRED REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVES

Perry saw the light ~ and with his Souvrn' Methedo-Baptist upbringing he knew what that always means ~ GIT OUT THE WAY.

He's young enough to think about this one later. if his back problem continues he might well consider a different job!

Bachmann is on her own track.

Whether or not you like her is absolutely irrelevant to the question of RINOism.

Really folks, we do not need to reduce the value of that term anymore by turning into "What I call people I don't like". We got plenty of words for that feeling.

The big deal is OBAMA is now responsible for "jobs" and he's done nothing.

He is also planning a major ground war in Iran. He will blame high casualty rates on "Iran is a very mountainous country and the native forces know their own terrain".

“He is also planning a major ground war in Iran.”

At the same time he is cutting back the size of the Army and Marine Corps. This is a formula for disaster.

Our ongoing military presence in the Middle East and South Asia is due to the western world’s dependence on Middle East oil. The EU has the world’s largest economy yet is benefits greatly from the American taxpayer paying to assure free flow of oil from the region. If we would change our energy policy from reliance on foreign oil to exploitation of North American resources within our borders we could achieve independence from the Middle East sources and let Europe take care of its own oil supply. Who knows, if we withdraw the Chinese and Europeans together might have to immerse themselves in political and social quagmire of the Middle East to preserve their interests. Perhaps Iran and the radical Islamists would then find new enemies to hate.

Since WWII the US taxpayer has defended the fat socialist European states from the Soviet Union while protecting their Middle Eastern oil supply. During that time the Europeans have been double dealing with our enemies (Iran and the Soviet Union) while engaging in economic warfare against us. Given our own economic issues, the sooner we leave the region, and end the free ride, the better.

An Iranian War will be 100% about defending Saudi interests and protecting the flow of oil to Europe. The true strategic interests of the US would be better served by using the US military to depose Chavez in Venezuela, allowing US oil companies to return to that country and repair the damage he has done to the oilfields and supply systems in his country. The fact we are considering going to war instead of dealing with self proclaimed enemies in our own region indicates the degree to which the globalists have distorted our priorities over the past 30 years.

LoL....That... right there.. is funny...

Judging by the actions of the “republican party” for the last ten years or so..
They; “are breeding [US]”...

“Assume the position” spread your legs and be mounted..
I am not amused.. Newt appears to refuse to be mounted..

Is it an act?... Who knows.. I hope not..
Really “conservative” can mean anything..
It appears to be a hodgepodge of many “issues”...

I am a “radical”... I want radical change in the federal government..
Conservative change just won’t git it.. Newt promises radical change..
BUT he calls it conservative change.. thats OK... don’t want to stampede the sheep..

You know, the “conservative sheep”....
What Newt actually NEEDS is a stampede..
Like the stampede in South Carolina...

There you go again, I gave you a definition of what a RINO really is and you ignored it to make some kind of point about "sheep".

That's so off the point.

It's pretty obvious that if we simply EXCLUDED the outsiders, we'd have more than enough suitable candidates to run.

We don't need to look through the subtle nuances of Conservative intellectual thought ~ just chuck the Democrats and Libertarians out when they show up to run for office under our label. If they vote for us, great. If they give money, that's even better. But we have quite enough real Republicans who really are Conservative.

The truth is I don’t know any of them.. so how can I trust them?.

They could all be compromised in some way...
I am not conservative.. words mean something..
I am radical.. I want radical change.. not same old anything..

Whoever you pick to support is crap shoot..
Even Ron Paul would not be too much for me... overall..
His Political Tourettes sucks tho... those fits drive him crazy..
Congress would not let him get away with most of it..

Newton seems to be “the Man” currently..
I don’t trust him either.. but he has the right Hat on...
Sure as President he could turn into a Romney on steroids..
But they all could... even Paul could have his “come to Uncle Joe Stalin” moment..

I don’t have “subtle nuances” for I’m a RADICAL...
A radical capitalist.. a radical republicanist..
