SoConPubbie, you may want to read what Jim Robinson wrote a little more carefully:

"But no matter what happens we must turn out in November to vote IN as many conservatives and vote OUT as many rats as possible at all levels of government. If we don't have a conservative at the top of the ticket we must turn out anyway and vote straight conservative DOWN ticket!!"

As I made clear, I was a Perry guy. I am faced with the increasing likelihood that the guy who is the (R) Presidential nominee this fall is not as historically conservative as is Perry.

To be motivationally convincing to conservatives, my proposal essentially calls upon Romney to put his proposed cabinet nominees where his rhetoric is, and to task each of them to campaign directly against Obama's currently sitting cabinet appointments.

My proposal in post #19 is a strategy which takes voting IN conservatives and voting for the DOWN ticket to the Executive level:

"Run not only with your VP but with your proposed cabinet as well."

Absent the ability to vote for any of these persons as the nominee at the top of the (R) ticket, voting for a "cabinet-in-waiting" may prove to be the next best thing available to motivate conservatives to get to the polls.

FReegards!

ANd why do you think I differ from Jim in this current discussion of ours?

I have always been in complete agreement with Jim on this particular point.

I am also in agreement with Jim that I will never vote for a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal like Mitt Romney.

That is what this discussion is about.

Listen, I applaud your hopefull solution to the problem and your willingness to hope for something so impropable to happen.

I understand the emotion behind it. I understand the almost irrational fear of Obama behind it.

Your problem is that there is no way in hell, given Romney's demonstratable lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal record that this will ever happen.

It's the same irrational hope that went into the supporters of Obama's "Hope and Change" routine, and as the supporters of Obama soon found out, Romney's supporters would find out if he, God Forbid, became President, that he is what his record says he is, a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal.

Sorry, but Romney would have to be little more than a figure-head and his cabinent would have to make all the decisions for your plan to work and that is not how our constitutional Republic works.

The guy at the top is not forced to listen to his cabinent by law or established practice, in fact, it's the other way around. Our Presidents ALWAYS make their own decisions, they look to their cabinent for advice, but it's their own established principles, at the end of the day, that provide the foundation for their decisions.

Romney's established principles are evident only in his record as Governor, those are the only actions/choices that we have to judge the man because he lies constantly:
