Meanwhile, the Tea Party movement needs to complete its takeover of the GOP. This is no time to be wasting resources on a new conservative party.
I was always a member of NY's Conservative Party when I lived in NY, until Fred Thompson had his name in the GOP primary in 2008. I changed my registration at the October deadline in 2007. I wound up voting for Romney because Thompson already dropped out.
If Romney gets elected, and I hope Romney doesn't get the nomination, and the GOP has both houses of the next Congress, there can be no repeats of GWB's No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part D! We're broke!
P.S. Trump is a brandname and a hairdo. I can't see Bloomberg taking votes from the right, only from the ignorant moderates and independents. Bloomberg, currently registered as an independent, was a lifelong, hardcore lefty before he became a RINO.
After Virginia...
Not Romney. Under no circumstances.
Yawn. Always with the threat of this “this is no time for a 3rd party, the moment is too crucial!”
If Romney gets anointed the nomination, there will no longer be any room to pretend that any real difference exists between the two halves of the Republicrat cartel.
So will I unless it's Paul or Romney.
This country cannot survive 4 more years of zero. It will survive a Romney presidency.
Nope, not Romney, not EVER!
Besides a Romney nomination is just a guarantee of 4 more years of 0bama anyway.
Nope, not EVER!
But like good little lemmings, we'll follow in lock step and vote for whatever candidate the media props up for us. Then we'll whine and threaten to either sit home or vote for a third party candidate and in either case that is the same thing as pulling the lever for Obama.
In the end Republican voters will put Obama back in office and have no one to blame for it but themselves. So go ahead, stay home...vote for that third party candidate! You might as well just switch parties and send the DNC a big fat donation, because in the end your supporting them anyway.
There's where I'm coming from.
Nope, not this time.
I hereby pledge to support the nominee as long as he’s not an abortionist, gay rights advocating, Reagan denying, socialist healthcare pushing, mandate loving, gun grabbing, liberal judge appointing, two-faced, flip-flopping, lying RINO hypocrite or a whacko drug-pushing isolationist.
That leaves Gingrich, Bachmann, Perry or Santorum. Huntsman? Who?
Will not support Romney or anyone the GOP establishment and MSM push. For the first time in 50 years, I will not vote if it comes down to the status-fixe.
I will NEVER vote for another RINO!
That’s my pledge to my family!
Conservatives have precious few real choices in the GOP primary; Bachmann, Santorum, Perry much less so, Gingrich as a last resort. Romney is a non-starter as are Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman. Then we get egomaniacs such as Donald Trump making noises about running on a third party ticket. Even billionaire Michael Bloomberg, a solid liberal masquerading as a ‘Republican’, mutters about running as an independent. I’m sure he would only do so to help Obama because, whether it was Trump or Bloomberg, we know they would siphon votes from the Republican nominee and, in effect, probably give Obama another term, which would likely be the end of America as we know and love it. So, conservatives look at Newt Gingrich, wince and know that to defeat Obama, we may have to cast our vote for him on November 6th, 2012. It could even come down to voting for the RINO’s RINO, Mitt Romney, to keep Obama out of the White House. Conservatives are sick of ‘holding our nose’ and voting for this election’s designated RINO. However, we’re being pushed into a corner, as it were, and may end up doing just that in order to defeat and remove Barack Obama from power, which is the ultimate goal. I find this frustrating but possibly, inevitable - and I hate it.
Make the pledge? I understand the anxiety.
But making a pledge sounds too much like this: “Dear GOP leaders. Don’t worry, I’ll vote for whoever you nominate, no matter how bad.”
I hate to say it, but four more years of Obama OR the current corrupt RINO idiots will destroy our country. Either one.
I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I sure as hell won’t pledge to support whatever idiot Karl Rove and Co. manage to pull out of the sewer and foist on us.
I’m still hoping that SOMETHING will change, and we’ll get a decent candidate to vote for. But it’s not looking very hopeful at the moment.
NO ROMNEY!! NO WAY!!
Those who can’t live with that are welcome to take the exit door. And don’t let it hit you where the good Lord split ya!!
No Romney No way. Policy wise he is little different than Obama and a republican congress won’t oppose him. He will destroy the courts, the military, our social fabric and the conservative movement for years.
At least with Obama there is a chance to fight for our liberty
We have seen the republican establishment frag conservatives... they don’t get my vote....
I’ve voted exclusively GOP my entire voting life, never wavering a single time. Not for Perot, not for anybody.
But if Romney is the nominee, the GOP can just go choke to death. Three years of backstabbing conservatives, backstabbing Palin, backstabbing the Tea Party, backstabbing the grassroots... like I’m going to ‘reward’ these scumbags with my vote? To Hell with the bastards!
I know the Republican Party leadership would love to toss the blame of their failings on us, but the problem is that the leadership does not clearly define enough what Conservatism is, and what we should be doing to make it succeed.
Bush barely scrapes by the likes of Gore.
Bush barely scrapes by the likes of Kerry.
McCain can’t even muster a win over the likes of Obama.
Folks, we’ve got a problem, and it isn’t the electorate.
If we can’t get candidates who can beat some of the worst Leftists our nation has ever seen, by more than a very slim margin, or can’t beat them at all, then we’re doing something terribly wrong.
How about trying Conservatism for a change?
I know it’s novel, but what the hey...
I’m NOT taking the pledge. If the GOP nominates someone like Paul or Romney, they can take their chances.
” P.S. Trump is a brandname and a hairdo “
Read his stands on the isues of the day and get back to me . Anybody who has the balls to bring up the BC issue and attack China is no leftist .
The take over of the R party will begin in earnest for NY right after the 1st of the year. Watch and join.
