You're not answering my question: Do you think if Romney wins that there will be free and fair elections in 2016?

On the other hand, do you think if Obama wins there will be free and fair elections in 2016?

And I don't feel "locked out" of power at all. In OH, I helped get Jim Jordan elected; contributed to Josh Mandel; got a district committeewoman who is a real conservative elected over a RINO; and on and on. I feel progress every day at my level. But please answer the question.

By the way---and I'm not just throwing this out to "make nice": I think the smartest move Romney could make as a veep would be Goode. He would simultaneously solve a) the conservative concerns (or some small measure of them; b) the ticket-balancing issue; and c) would not take away a sitting senator whom we desperately need in the Senate or a governor from a potential swing state where we will need someone to WATCH the votes! Oh, and d) it would take the 3d party issue off the ballot and ensure Romney wins VA, and, I think, the election.

I don't think Romney will do it, and probably Goode wouldn't do it either, but it would sure be the deal clincher for the election.

Why don't you tell us why don't think there will be if Obama is reelected.

You're spewing paranoid hyperbole.

I think that regardless of which man is elected... there will be free elections in 2016. You underestimate the potential of the power of the States and the Patriots that are sitting on 100 million firearms and about 10 billion rounds of ammunition. Frankly, I do not see this Republic surviving without MAJOR changes in entitlement spending, reduction in ALL taxes and a shrinking of the Federal government to a sustainable level. I truly believe in my heart that mitt... like George Bush... will usher in someone just as evil as obama and just as marxist... but this time the left will elect someone that will carry through on the dream of anarchists and those that hate Liberty and Freedom.

I understand the economy and I also understand business and I understand where we are heading if something does not radically change.

Let me ask you a question... do you think that mitt romney... working with john boehner and mitch mcconnell... are the three men that can and will shake the foundations of Mordor and release us from the evil of the left? Do you think that mitt romney will get the Federal Government out of our health care system all together? NO... because he has pledged to repeal obamacare AND REPLACE IT! Will he cut the Department of Education and take on the teachers unions? No... he will come up with some new angle to funnel money that we do not have... into that evil den of pit vipers. Do you think that boehner, mcconnell and romney will tell America the truth about the ponzi scheme of socialist security and reduce that program to sustainable levels? NO... they will not because they do not have the guts to stand up to the pressures that would come and they are true believers in the nanny state... so nothing will happen there to change the dynamic.

Unless we get a true Patriot and Conservative elected to do all of these hard things that we all know must be done to save our Republic... we are still going to end up in default and possibly a total collapse of our society... mitt may delay that event by a few years... or he may not.

You have faith in the gop/e and their elected machine... I no longer do. I have peeked under the hood of that machine and have seen what runs it. That is something that you must do for yourself. As far as your making a difference where you live... fantastic... but don't count your chickens too quickly. I worked hard to elect a real TEA Party firebrand as our Congressman in 2010. He was running against Gene Taylor... a long term dim who was somewhat Conservative but who loved the redistribution of wealth. Tim Palazzo was elected with my help and the help of many others. Several of us donated heavily to that man. He was co-opted within 10 minutes of arriving in DC... they even brought in trent lott to pressure the newly elected TEA Party people... and now we have another moderate "go along to get along" progressive drone.

Palazzo was holding a fund raiser in a restaurant that a friend of mine and his wife were eating at. He walked up and asked my friend for his support again. My friend said, "Not this time... we have seen how you have worked with boehner and voted for every spending bill put in front of you. You have not represented the TEA Party movement with your actions". Palazzo responded, "You don't understand how DC works. I have to go along to get along... I have to work with the leadership to get committee assignments and bring the bacon home to Mississippi". My friend said, "We damn sure do know how DC works... we sent you to DC to work with like minded men and women to CHANGE the way that DC works. We don't want you to "bring home the bacon"... we wanted you to stop Mississippi bacon from ever arriving in DC". Tim walked away without further comment.

You see... sometimes you think you are electing a true Conservative... but you never know. You will know soon enough. BTW, we tried to primary him but his name recognition was too hard to overcome. He will easily win reelection because Mississippi is about 75% gop. mitt will win Mississippi also... but he will do it without my vote... unless he signs a binding Contract with America... which is highly unlikely.

Tim Palazzo was not who he claimed that he was but he was young and without much of a history. mitt has a history in politics... the man is a hard leftist and I can prove it with his own words and images. Abortion rights were instilled in mitt from birth... his mother taught him the importance of a woman's right to choose. Who said that? mitt romney said that and the evidence is sitting on You Tube right now. He was "never part of the Reagan Revolution... I never believed in it or the man"... mitt said it... and it too resides in the public domain.

I will no longer lie to myself and others to promote a gop candidate because of the "lesser of two evils" rule... evil is evil... period.
