It’s a bogus argument that people have to look past glaring flaws in the Republican candidates or somehow they’re supporting Obama. At the end of the day 99% of people on FR will vote for the Republican candidate, no matter how distasteful, but until the nomination process is finished they have every right - duty - to hold the candidates’ feet to the fire and make them earn the support of conservatives. Conservatives settled for something less in 2008 and it resulted in defeat. The notion that the most non-conservative Republican is a guaranteed winner is disproven in every election cycle.

You are 100% correct, however...... hollering "FURP!!!" "FUNG!!!" and calling other conservative candidates "idiots" and their supporters "bots" is not exactly a thoughtful and objective process of evaluation.

They can do whatever they want to do. I personally choose not to spend every single day tearing down any of the candidates. I disagree that 99% of FR will vote for the Republican candidate regardless of who wins. It depends on who wins. Some on here hate the Republican candidate more than Barry Hussein. I wouldn’t be the least bit shocked if they voted for Hussein just get back at the GOP candidate that they hate more. Sorry, it’s just becoming an intolerable climate for me lately. I will be glad when the elections are over and we have a year to go. UGH!

I don’t disagree and I’ve made my share of comments but I also realize that there is no perfect conservative candidate and it still does not change the fact that if one’s idea of a perfect candidate isn’t the nominee, he takes his ball and goes home and we have 4 more years of the Marxist. You think he was bad the first 4 when he had re-election on his mind, you ain’t seen nothing yet pal.
