But as long as you remain unwilling to commit to vote party unity, you’ll be just as guilty as those Republicans who allowed Obama to become president in the first place.

That's ridiculous. First of all, there is about ZERO chance that Ron Paul will be on the presidential ticket, so stop trying to accuse people like us of "allowing" Obama to become president.

Our focus is to get a true conservative on the ticket this time instead of having to hold our noses and vote for some idiot like McCain or Romney. A lot of us just won't do that this time around.

But instead of helping rebuild, you’re spending your time smearing libertarian Republicans as truthers.

That is part of rebuilding. Keeping non-conservatives off the ticket is critical. Libertarians have no business spamming and infiltrating the GOP. They are the ones causing dissent everywhere they go. Their egos drive them to get their message out there and the fact that they use our ticket to do it is just disgusting. Libertarians hate Republicans more than they do Democrats. Just listen to Ron Paul. He'll trash Republicans, but you'll rarely, if ever, hear him say anything critical of Democrats. Ron Paul and his acolytes do not have the best of intentions for our country.

Oh, and you never answered my question. What "claim" was I making that you did not find credible?

On the contrary, I've voted for Republicans since I was old enough to vote.

But I want to elect people who will genuinely shrink the size and scope of government in our lives. The crop of Republicans we had in office from 2000 to 2008 gave that nothing but lip service.

Then they booted Ron Paul and others from the debates to keep us from seeing real alternatives. Ron Paul's approach to foreign policy is dead wrong, but his approach to shrinking government is both unwavering and on target. That's why the media call him, "Dr. No"

I see a parallel here with Republican inaction on abortion. Elected Republicans have promised action for decades, but done little to protect Life.

McCain was our candidate last time not only because the media wanted it, but because Republican leadership thought they had to be "more moderate" to win. In actuality, they compounded their electoral losses by disgusting the base with a RINO candidate for President.

The Republican leadership's disconnect, as well as President Obama's corruption and arrogance, gave rise to the Tea Party protests.

I prefer to vote for those who will do what they say. I prefer a genuinely smaller government. Hopefully you do too.
