Well then you're probably not voting, because unfortunately the chances of anyone outside the current "top tier" RINO 4 (Huck, Romney, McCain, Rudy) being the GOP nominee is just about nil.
With the exception of '80 & '84, every general election in my lifetime has been a "lesser of two evils" situation. This time will be no different. ...but for some reason many are acting like it is. In recent history, most of us pulled the lever for GHWB, Dole, and GWB knowing full well they were far less than ideal candidates. But the alternative was far worse, so the lesser of two evils option was exercised.
There's always a lot of righteous indignation when the most conservative candidate doesn't win the nomination (this time it's Hunter and Fred), but it eventually fades when one soberly considers the nightmare on the other side of the aisle -- Dukakis/Gore/Kerry/Clinton, etc.
Happens every time. Without exception.
Oh, Man! That says it all! Sooooooo true!
lol!
You'll be "bringin down" your country if you allow the Democrat candidate to win this next presidential election due to your (and anyone you've convinced) of not voting for the Republican candidate. If you think we are better off with a Democrat in the Whitehouse for the next four years, then you're saying that you think we would have been worse off with a Republican (rhino or not) in the Whitehouse. That's insane, IMO.
There are other options, vote 3rd party or write-in. If the leadership of a party does not reflect your personal views, why bother.
Rudy, a talker not a fighter.
If this great country of ours is to fall, let it be at the hands of the dems.
If this great country of ours is to fall, it will have been because those who could and should have done something to save her, but tossed her to the wolves (the DEMS!)
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Fight it out in the primaries, but in the end, whoever is the Republican candidate WILL get my vote. I prefer Thompson or Hunter, but I don’t think I’m going to get my wish.
I’ll vote for a conservative, it matters not what letter comes after his/her name.
Ain’t that the truth.
Vote conservative and the situation will not exist.
Yes.
A democrat with lipstick on the republican ticket stands for nothing conservative.
And if you gotta get the candidate on the ticket via that route, that candidate sure ain’t good for America.
It simply astounds me that more on here can't see that. The "R" is all that matters to them.
That’s all that mattered to them, also, in 2004.
And look where we’re at now!!!!!!!
They need only imagine an Ahnold like president on steroids occupying the WH. If that doesn’t give them night terrors - they ain’t human.
I gotta turn in, nic. I’ll see you around lunch time if your here. If not, after classes. Good night, have a good one. :)
its not ‘you get Hillary’, its ‘we get Hillary’.
you think your wallet is more sacred than anyone
else’s? she will take things away from conservatives
as happily as she will from ‘rinos’ or ‘rats’.
yes virginian, there is a difference, and its stupidity
to assert otherwize.
If threads like this are indicative of the unity of the GOP. Real conservatism is in real trouble this election......just my opinion of course.
