I will vote, but not for Romney. Conservatism will be set back by a Romney win more than by an Obama win.
Exactly. A vote for a Romney is a vote to admit that conservatives really don't care about conservatism, or principles, or any of that other lame garbage that only appeals to losers who actually care about the Constitution and this country.
It's time to tell the GOP-e that we're not going to go along with them anymore. It may even be time to kill their Party and create a new one that they don't have any say in.
That is the problem. The media and liberal democrats will surely label Romney as a right wing extremist even though he'll be more close to their ideology.
My solution; Sarah Palin or some other choice runs independent as the tea party candidate. The tea party endorses and backs the tea party Republicans in congressional and senate races. In this way, we get our people to the polls rather than many of them sitting home. The result is we'll gain significantly in the House and Senate to stop the growth of government.
In the best case scenario, Palin/? could win and we'd be off and running. As unpopular as Obama and both parties have become, an independent, populist voice could have a chance to upset, imo.
