A respectful question; as someone who was maxed out to both Gingrich and Cain, I am especially disappointed that neither received the nomination.

That said, we will not get our choice Conservative on the ticket, and all presidential races devolve down to a practical choice between two major candidates. The reality is that we will have choice to cast one of two possible meaningful votes, Obama or Romney.

Capturing the Senate will not be enough. The Presidency is the most important post there is. At a minimum he sets the tone, approves or vetoes bills, nominated judges, etc.

In November, we may not want to vote for Romney, but a failure to vote for Romney is effectively a vote for Obama.

How do we, despite your dislike for Romney, fail to vote for him and therefore we end up helping Obama?

It's a sincere, important and respectful question.

No one has received the nomination yet. There is still time to affect the outcome.

The question you are asking is important, but there is another component to it.

If we have one conservative left standing in this race, why accept the false premise that our choice is only Romney?

Our rebellion can take the form of sending Newt on to Tampa, to blunt Romney and to be our voice, and to give other conservatives in Tampa a chance to be heard.

The GOP-E wants us all to sit down and shut up, and I say "NUTS" to them. We don't want Romney, a non-Republican liberal, to be our nominee with the fate of America at stake in November.

We can yet affect the outcome in November by affecting the outcome in August in Tampa.

The rebellion starts now, in my opinion, and my act of rebellion is to go all out for Newt.

That's the dirty trick. Every election, the RINOs in Washington pick our candidate for us. They send out the talking heads to destroy those they oppose, and tilt the propaganda toward their choice. Every election they choose someone more liberal than the one before. Now, we "choose" between a flaming left wing Massachusetts liberal, or a flaming far left communist.
They're giving us a choice - NOT.

All the power and privilege the democrats acquire while in power simply becomes theirs! The only difference is the Republicans in Washington get to live high on the hog instead of the Washington democrats! (Have they EVER eliminated a democrat social program or oppressive legislation? )

How long do we just sit back and let them blackmail us with "Vote for our guy, or the other guy whose worse will win." What about the Conservatives? Hello? Who is giving us a voice in all this? How long are we suppose to fall for this scam? Both parties are going in the same direction, only the RINOs are going a little slower as to not be noticed!
