I’ll say it again, these people are not real conservatives: Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul, etc.

I had high hopes for Paul Ryan, but when I saw him voting with Boehner, I knew he’s a RINO in conservative clothing. This endorsement comes as no surprise.

OTOH, Michele Bachmann, Steve King, and Ted Poe are the real deal.

It is NOT time to “coalesce” around a RINO nominee. Think 2010. We the People have a say, and it’s time to show this once again to Paul Ryan, et al.

exactly, I agree, only this endorsement does come as a surprise to me, as did DeMint's.

RE "It is NOT time to “coalesce” around a RINO nominee. Think 2010. We the People have a say, and it’s time to show this once again to Paul Ryan, et al." -- This is nothing more than a line-in-the-sand moment, and the people who walk away from fighting against Romney were looking for a reason to stop fighting or jumping on board the romney bandwagon anyway.

They are real conservatives. When Bachmann and King and Poe vote with Boehner, do you give up on them too?

Paul Ryan is he's not a lone wolf conservative. He's akin to a middle manager in the House. He's budget chairman but he ultimately answers to higher ups like Boehner and "takes one for the team" not unlike Santorum when the #3 guy in the Senate, although he'd have been higher up the chain of command and thus more accountable.

Ryan should be judged more on the things he proposes and tries to accomplish.

I'm puzzled at this endorsement since last year he said he would not be endorsing since he'd been asked to fundraise for whomever the nominee became. It's highly likely it'll be Romney but it's not a "done deal."

Just more evidence that Paul Ryan talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk. When it comes down to voting on legislation, Ryan is no better than John Boehner. Ryan and Rubio both have nice haircuts and are telegenic, but they are establishment guys. Ryan’s reasoning for endorsing Romney is superficial; “we’ve got to coelesce; we all have to hold hands in order to beat Obama”. Santorum should call him out on this.

Michele Bachmann, Steve King, and Ted Poe are the real deal.

For the time being, anyway. I'm waiting to see who still hasn't endorsed Willard before the convention picks a nominee. (Has any of them said they definitely will not?)

But, even if Willard does get the nomination, any who then rally around him to defeat the Marxist incumbent will be deemed by certain folks around these parts to be self-serving sellouts, too.
