Well said Jim, and BRAVO.

This is something that our fellow FReeper SickOfLibs (just like you) has consistently been pointing out for years, which is that when RINOs like Romney get into power, their behavior is almost indistinguishable from the 'Rats and their fellow travelers. That '(R)' behind their name gives them political cover so far as the mostly ignorant masses are concerned, and they expand the reach and power of the federal behemoth, they enact measures that further limit our individual freedoms and liberties, and the Constitution is basically whatever shape they twist it into, in the name of political expediency.

These statists and worshipers of big government could not care less regarding our God-given freedoms that were established in that sacred Constitution. The previous Administration laid the foundation for such unConstitutional and tyrannical entities such as the 'Department of Homeland Security', the 'TSA', et al. WTF are such Nazi-sounding and performing agencies doing here in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave? Oh, those 'enhancements' and 'reorganizations' were enacted with the BEST of intentions in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, but the current regime is doing exactly what many Americans feared would happen, they are taking those well intentioned national security 'tools' and utilizing them for the purposes of intimidating, oppressing and persecuting/prosecuting law abiding American citizens while traitors and terrorists operate on American soil, pouring through the southern border, with little to inhibit them with the continuing "catch and release" program of the Feds, and the subversive policies of certain 'sanctuary' cities all across this Nation.

If RINO Romney is the GOP nominee for 2012, I will do as you have stated Jim, I will vote for conservative candidates lower on the ticket, and I will NOT cast my vote for Obomney no matter who he has on the ticket with him. If a legitimate conservative third party candidate challenges a hypothetical Romney-as-nominee, I will cast my vote for that challenger.

The line in the sand must be (and has been) drawn, and you have drawn it Jim, 'as for me and my house', if it turns out to be "GOP NOMINEE = ROMNEY" it will be "NO VOTE FOR GOP" at the top of the ticket.

God Save America.

Thanks for the ping.

I still remember how bad those last two years of Bush after he said that the Democrats 2006 win was a great chance to get some things passed that he didnt have before with a Republican congress.

When you put liberal RINO termites like Romney in the WH and they screw us over what is the option?? Fight them and help Democrats win even more power?Rally against them and help Democrats get more power? Even in the debates Romney couldnt help himself but take Obama's position on social Security.

Democrats here have already told me they want Republicans to pick Romney so Obama can tear him apart for being a phony. They have no such strategy for Cain. (and I dont care who Romney would pick for VP either.)
