“There are those out there who will disagree with me but I am not in favor of letting our country slip into the sewer and then try to pull it out.”
I understand your logic and respect your view. However, in the long term I think it necessary to send a clear signal to the GOP that if they want my “conservative” vote, they will ensure a “conservative” candidate gets the nomination. Obviously, I would never vote for Mr. Obama. However, I will not vote for Romney either. I’m tired of being forced to vote for a candidate I don’t approve of only because he is the nominal “Republican” running in the general election.
In my thinking:
Romney = Obama I stay at home on election day (first time since 1976) or leave that portion of the ballot empty.
I think if more people in the Republican party would admantly declare that....and stick with it. Then we would see a “conservative” actually running as our POTUS choice. We need to “rebel” against our own party.
