I approached our state GOP party about running (for a state office) They said ‘no thanks’ because I was a Conservative and they were looking for ‘people close to center’.

.... and it is our right to question EVERYTHING when it comes to the government...... My Lord did not give me a brain to follow statists like Romney and Obama into tyranny.... I will fight it with my last breath, as did my sainted ancestors, alongside the Founders.".....

far too many conservatives throw away their ENTIRE ballot with a write-in protest vote.

Damn few understand that it will void their whole ballot!

Exactly HOW will it void the whole ballot?! That doesn’t even make sense.

Geez. What EnglishCon said is now a zottable offense in your mind? Discussing a hypothetical on the election? For your info, he was on my Santorum Ping and I also believe he liked Newt too. He is not a Truther or any such thing you paint him as. He was just making a point here.

Hows ‘bout you go back and read the posts that explain it.

I get tired of writing it out dozens of times for those that don't read.

I'm with you on Palin. Too bad that she's not the nominee this year. We really need a strong person to clean house and get things in order again.

If Palin does become POTUS in 2016 she will need a strong and capable VP, as she has shown that she cracks under pressure.

I just want to understand, clearly, what position this site is taking in the upcoming election.

Of course we'll be fighting against Obama and his polices....at the same time against the move for socialism within the GOP Party....which means voting AGAINST Obama and Romney. That's pretty clear.

Absolutely correct. I think that is a great idea.

It could bhe STARTED as a special class in the Values of Western Civilization and the Evolution of Western Civilization and be offered by volunteers with history backgrounds and conservative credentials to school students on weekends.

THAT would counter the garbage the leftists in the Educational Establishment are pushing. It would be a good start.

Now if someone could post a “How to vote for Romney without throwing up on your ballot” it would be appreciated.

It certainly would.

I will NEVER forgive the drivebys in this country for all but destroying Sarah Palin (and for far too many sheeple, even Republican sheeple, for believing their crap). If this were Romney vs. even Der Schlickmeister I could probably bypass it, but not vs. the Kenyan Antichrist.

The supreme irony of these pro-Romney “conservatives” is that they don’t realize they’re using the same broken logic as the “pro-choice” movement to justify an insane position: they claim that they’re not actually in favor of the action, but they support it anyway.

Perfect analogy!

"A President Romney would form a coalition between Congressional RINOs and Dems and hang the Tea Party out to dry. And he will use the power of his office to get more GOP-E candidates in 2014 and fight the rise of the Tea Party tooth and nail - and will be hard to dislodge in 2016, leading to yet another electoral disaster in 2018 and 2020 like we saw in the end years of the Bush Admin, due largely to the inherent RINO problems infesting that administration."

What was Mourdock's barrier to entry? Candidates that affiliate to any degree with the Tea Party will be more viable under a President Mittens, not less. I don't see anyone scared by Mitten's money, it's not like it kept 5 conservatives from running against each other...

Electoral history designates second-term mid-term losses for the ruling party, to some degree. But neither party is going to look the same by then.

can post that I’m voting for Romney, against Obama without being banned!

Likely, but as always there's a difference between saying you're going to vote Romney and promoting him. If you do Promote Romney expect to be challenged....without getting your pants in a knot.

If O’bambi is returned to office, no more complaints; just look in the mirror for the right person to blame.

And if you find yourself having to contend with the iron fist of nationalized health care and punitive cap-and-trade regulations arrived at on a global scale with the authority and input of other nations (Romney SAID: "Any carbon plan has to be worldwide in scope. Let's have a worldwide solution, not an American one" at his CPAC speech in '08) -- IF you find yourself and America shackled by such tyranny advanced by THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, look in the mirror for the right person to blame.
