I have every confidence that the TEA Party conservatives can eventually take over the Republican Party.

But, I’ll tell you this: If everyone in the USA who knows that an Obama re-election would destroy America, yet whines and pouts about “our” guy not being conservative enough and sits the election out or works against the Republican nominee, there will be no opportunity to take over the Republican Party.

It will be outlawed by the second Obama administration, and the US will become a one-party country — think Communist Russia and the rest of the former Iron Curtain countries.

All of you Romney naysayers will have a lot of ‘splainin’ to do unless you get off your ass, quit whining and pouting, and help us run Obama out of Washington, DC.

Lets win the damn election and then REALLY get to work!

PS

I am not enabling them!

I am voting against pure Evil, and working within the system to force conservative values into the Republican Party.

Your way enables the Evil that the Democrats represent, and you want to burn the Republican house down because there are a few fleas in it.

I want to fumigate the house, kill the fleas and use it as headquarters to wage war on the Evil Democrats!

I heard that crap during the Clinton re-election when the GOP-E put up another liberal. I didn't vote for him either.

And I will never, ever vote for Romney. He is evil. And I won't enable evil and I won't enable the GOP-E to keep killing off conservatives.

I'm not a republican. I'm a conservative.

You are, because they know they can count on your vote, no matter what crap liberal they put up, just to get a GOP win. They laugh at you, and take you for granted. But like an abused woman, this time will be different.

I'm not buying it. GOP can go to hell until they put up a conservtive.

"This is how they continually move to the left, the GOPe know that they could have run anyone, but they chose the most liberal of the bunch, and I am sure they actively discouraged some better candidates. "

The moves to the left, even in the Republican party...it's all so "progressive" don't ya think?

My problem with Romney isn’t that he might not defeat Obama; it’s that he will. GOP primary voters were in a unique position to pick more than a candidate this cycle. They were really picking the next president. Any Republican who isn’t named Ron Paul could beat Obama. It’s truly a shame that they picked the one guy in the field who’s the most similar to Obama. They’ve squandered a historic opportunity.

McCain ran more effectively in the primaries in 2008 than he did in 2000.

That's not saying much. I didn't even know he was a candidate in 2000.

Exactly his point, of course.

In 2008 a good solid campaign even by McCain, free of sabotage, would have been down to the wire and may well have won. Romney 2012 is far better positioned and a stronger man than McCain was. All those rooting for Romney to lose should read 'em and weep. I wish he was a conservative too but I am glad he will skunk the degenerate Usurper.

Doesn't make me wonder. I know exactly what is going on in this website.

If you care about the survival of the America we grew up in, then you know what to do.

You don't get it. The media slime machine has held off on Romney because he's their guy. If he wins the nomination, watch his 'electibility' fade away like a light dew in August sun.

ROTFL! I have to agree with you..it will be close because the leftists are warm to Romney and they want to suck in viewers to the leftist media..so they will "make it a contest". What a flippin farce.

What do you propose to do after the Evil Democrats win in 2012 and outlaw all things conservative?

You will recall that Slick Willy’s antics got him a Republican (not conservative, dammit!) Congress, which effectively ended his run to a Socialist America.

Recall, also, that Slick had a tad more appreciation for the Constitution than Obongo Bozo does, which slowed the parade.

We’ll not have those circumstances in a second Obama term.

You are not thinking clearly.

I suggest that you take a deep breath of air and try to fight off the hysteria. As I've said, I heard the same crap about Clinton getting a second term. Right here on FR. And we lived through it. 'Clinton will shut down FR' was a favorite.

America will survive. If you can't stay true to conservatism, you vote for the GOP liberal candidate. I won't.

By that you mean that I'm not hysterical enough to drop my conservative principles and vote the way you think I should... Sorry. I will actively campaign against Romney now and if he wins the nomination.

Blame the GOP for slamming every conservative that comes along, rule changes, dirty tricks, and shilling for a liberal.

Are you going to actively campaign against him in the General?

Just curious.

If he makes it to the general, I certainly will.

By then all the primaries will have settled, and I'll know who will be in the general election. I'll select the most conservative, and campaign for that person, and against Romney.
