Five Ways Conservatives Will Have to Sell Their Souls if Romney Wins

Dude, I'm fed up with it.

The faux conservatives have run the show too long, and I've been 'too busy' to do much about it.

But if the country goes to crap, either because Romney wins, or Obama wins, I can go to God knowing I didn't vote for either.

Lord knows I've done my best to pull the party back to conservatism. But I'm done.

And it sounds like a whole lot of other folks are, too.

We have way too much government. And we can't afford it. Gotta cut bills somewhere.

And it will either be done politely, or just get done.

I’m with you. I’m done too. I am sick of holding my nose and every election the GOP giving us someone even more liberal to the point that the ‘frontrunner’ (I use that term loosely) is indistinguishable from the Marxist in the WH.

[tumblindice]

I suspect Romney may be the default GOP candidate again here in IN, like McCain in 2008.
And I’ll be working to replace Dick Lugar with state treasurer Richard Mourdock. Romney will be Obama’s GOP doorman again.
2012 feels a lot like 1860. I was just a little shaver then, but it was an interesting time to be alive: the end of the Whigs; politicians like Douglas, Clay and Calhoun; a national domestic dispute, that got heated ...
It’s a good thing Zero thinks he’s Lincoln! Or is it FDR this week? Kennedy?
Napoleon?

[JRandomFreeper]

Napoleon?

Now that, I wouldn't mind. Go attack russia in the fall. It never ends pretty. ;)

Look at the judges Romney appointed. Are they really any better? I, along with most conservatives will not support a socialist candidate just because he has an R behind his name.

I won’t continually be McCain’d by the GOP. I’m a conservative first.

Then you deserve whatever bad things happen as a consequence. Unfortunately, we're all stuck in the same boat and I don't believe I deserve what will happen to us if obama is reelected.

If you vote for Romney, you are telling the GOP that it's okay if they bend you over the barrel and that you agree with them moving to the left.

I agree. Romney is Barak Obama's brother by a different mother.... 'nuff said. I'd rather have my enemy in front than holding my shoulder and giving me a shiv in the back.

Mitt=Dole=McLame= Obama...=P.O.S.'s

I think Bachmann and Cain are more electable than Rromney.

the outcome is becoming more and more inevitable.

Not at all. So Romney has 12 delegates out of 1,144 needed and now it's inevitable?

[neverdem]

Republicans deserve another 4 years of Obama if they make Romney the nominee.

I'd agree, if that was true, but it's not completely true. It's the states that don't have completely closed GOP primaries that give us this BS.

Remember "The Big Mo"?

"Slugging it out in the primaries is fine but you have to support the nominee. "

====================================================

Not if it is immoral to.

I believe in voting pragmatically to a point but my conscience will not allow me to vote for a pro choice candidate period, let alone all the rest of Mitts liberal track record.

There are many more like me.

Mitt can't win and won't win.

He must be defeated now or the GOP is over.

Over.

Finito.

This election has already gone pear shaped.

[JRandomFreeper]

Perhaps people should stop enabling the crazy bastards claiming to be conservatives.

That would be you, and the RNC, supporting Romney, who is NOT conservative.

He's not Ron Paul crazy, but he's no genius.

No, I don’t

Then spend your time on Daily Kos and DU worshipping obama because you will have him another 4 years.

[fso301]

If you vote for Romney, you are telling the GOP that it's okay if they bend you over the barrel and that you agree with them moving to the left.

Nobody forced Romney or any other candidate to run. GOP elites do not control what takes place inside the election booth. If Romney runs the least crappy campaign, then let him have the nomination and blame the other candidates for running such poor campaigns.

[fso301]

That's the problem with the go-along to get along RNC.

Rather than blaming Romney and the RNC, why not look in the mirror and blame the people such as yourself for failing to raise up a better field of candidates?

[be-baw]

Count me among those who will no-way no-how vote for Mitt Romney. He won’t win. He can’t win. If he gets the nomination I hope a viable third party conservative candidate emerges.

[fso301]

If you vote for Romney, you are telling the GOP that it's okay if they bend you over the barrel and that you agree with them moving to the left.

This isn't China. Romney and all other candidates are running of their own free will. It's neither Romneys fault nor that of the GOP that such a poor list of "conservative" candidates is being fielded.

Don't blame Romney for the sorry group of conservatives presently running. Blame conservatives for failing 10-20 years ago to raise up politicians having presidential potential.
