I hate to break it to you, but here on the premiere conservative website, the notion of Sarah Palin being a good conservative is OFTEN met with resistance. Newt as well. A taken out of context quote will quickly appear as “proof” of their liberalism.

I’m not going to stop anything. I think this country is a hot mess. Obama convinced the mush brained yewt that he was going to rob from the rich to give to them and meanwhile, the republicans decided that it was cool to be the victim and the circular firing squad commenced.

You have the primaries to battle for your candidate, whoever that is. AFTER the primaries and the nominee is selected if I hear this nonsense that “I’m not going to vote for X because X isn’t conservative enough”......well, it’s just ridiculous.

In 2012, you had two choices. Obama or Romney. If you “stayed home” because Romney wasn’t your perfect candidate, you supported Obama. Period. In 2016, you will have two choices, most likely Hillary and the republican. There will be no viable third party candidate, no matter how dreamy that sounds. So, buckle up and vote. Staying home to be the “victim” is the lazy way out.

I am a libertarian. The republicans do not own my vote. They may earn it, or not. In 2012 I had an excellent choice, Gary Johnson. His track record as a two term governor, vetoing 746 bills, is just what the country needed.

Do not tell me I supported Obama. Them's fightin words. I supported Gary Johnson. If my choice offends you that is too bad for you.

The whole political game is fixed, and both parties represent little difference on the national level. No Republican since Warren Harding ever significantly decreased the burden of government on peoples’ lives. Even Reagan did not significantly shrink the size of the Federal leviathan, although in his defense, his desire to defeat international Communism required some compromises with the Democrats who controlled the House for both terms of his presidency. Unless the Republicans nominate someone who will make a difference, say like Ted Cruz, a GOP Presidential win in 2016 will only slow down, and not stop, the slide toward statism and socialism.

The precedent was set by Eisenhower, who decided not to pursue repeal of the Roosevelt and Truman social legislation. His vice president, Nixon, did likewise with respect to Johnson's Great Society legislation when it was his turn to be President. Ditto for the Bushes and even Reagan. There is no reason to believe that a Jeb Bush or a Ryan would be any different from their GOP predecessors should either one of them, or any other RINOs, defeat the Democrat nominee.
