Face it, Romney may win the nomination. My biggest fear is the GOP will self-destruct. I’m no Romney supporter and hope he doesn’t get the nomination, but IF HE DOES, we better come together and support him - even if we hold our noses while voting for him AGAINST OBAMA.

I’d vote for Mickey Mouse if he were my only other choice besides Obama & “principled” conservatives better be willing do ANYTHING to keep Obama from winning another term. If Obama wins another term, our country is truly lost.

If Newt Gingrich withdraws from the race, there will be a chance for the conservative frontrunner Santorum to do well in many of the other states along with way in a neck and neck race with Romney. But I doubt that will happen at this point; egos and kamikaze missions just out of spite or "payback" or whatever, power trips, are not easy to mitigate. Accordingly, there is a better than even chance that this goes to Romney, who has been declared an enemy of Free Republic from years back, most specifically nearly a year ago on here, since this is an independent CONSERVATIVE FORUM. This is not a forum for RINOs or moderate libs.

This once every four year rigged template (the conservative vote split and the media and GOP officialdom pushing one of their moderate shills to be nominated who later goes on to a spectactular defeat by the Democrat by incompetence or outright throwing the elction) is a worn out template, so predictable in both its essence and application, is something I will never countenance. To be an idiot and played like a fiddle, marginialized at the convention but used as a bloc (conservative), but given only a few insignificant federal agencies as a reward, is a game I am "hep" too, and will nill not participate. To do the same thing over and over and over again and expect different outcomes is the classic definition of insanity.

If Newt Gingrich were to drop out of this race, and Santorum stayed in (lets say for family reasons, health reasons, money, what not, Newt threw in the towel in the next few weeks), would you support Santorum in a head to head with Romney in the remaining races?

If a viable Alternative Conservative Party or candiate who is ballot qualified on enough states to have enough electoral votes and stands for the principles of Free Republic, would you support a) the Conservative, b) the RINO (i.e. Romney), c) the Marxist (Obama)?

Just two basic questions I have for you at this time.

I would particularly like your input on question a), because if it were reversed, ie. if Santorum left he race and Gingrich was the only one opposing both Romney and Paul, I would support Gingrich. No WAY would I support Romney over Gingrich. So hopefully you would share your insight with me.

No more "holding our noses". If Romney is the Nom, Obama will win in a huge way. Romney simply will not obtain the votes by the key voting blocks. I will never vote for Romney and I'm surely not the only one.
