You speak the truth. I was a reluctant supporter of Romney after others failed. He has proven himself to me. Romney still has delegates and I hope that they are able to do the right thing and help shape the party for the future in the platform.

All of those who scream about a third party here - how many of you have ever taken the time or effort to work in the Republican Party? Have you ever done anything but pull the lever? People who were involved in the conservative revolution worked in the party and moved the party to our beliefs. We didn’t just vote and scream - we walked precincts, talked to our neighbors, gave our money, licked thousands of envelopes and spent countless hours advancing the cause.

The problem with the Party today is that there are lots of true Republicans in Name Only and I don’t mean position-wise I mean committment-wise who would never lift a finger to advance the cause. It’s someone else’s job, not theirs. They won’t spend a Saturday afternoon, missing a football game, to make things happen on their block.

If you want a revolution, you have to fight. I believe that the Republican Party is the best place to stage that fight from, and I will continue to work for the cause. Ronald Reagan didn’t go 3rd party - he brought this party around, with the help of thousands of other patriotic Republicans.

Yeah, I have. Quite a lot of time and effort, actually. And I consider it to have been wasted. And I'm not going to be voting for McCain. Don't like that? Tough luck.
