I guess all I can do is leave you with this:

Agreed. We conservatives have to figure out a way (don't ask me how) to keep from splitting our vote in the primaries. That's killing us, and letting the RINO's take it all.
It would be a lot easier if an electable conservative were running.
Let's face it: Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, et al, weren't the strongest of candidates...and were far from the best we've got.
You still don't get it.
I am sticking to my principles - my belief in the democratic principles this nation was founded on.
You're talking about overthrowing the will of the primary voters like some South American junta. Principled, my ass.
Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee. You don't have to vote for him, I don't have to vote for him either. But I'm not going to live in some fantasy land where I'm going to strip of the nomination, simply because I don't like the fact the more people voted for him than my guy.
Pretty much.
Oh stop with the dramatics. I'm not suggesting any such thing. In days gone by, the nominee was always chosen at the convention. It's only in recent decades that candidates have been nominally 'chosen' during the primary voting period.
I suggest that it's still possible to ignite enough Americans to reject the outcome of the primary, which appears to have been criminally manipulated, in my view. Romney never had more than 30% support among the voters. Given a real chance, they would have surely gotten behind a real conservative in the race, and sent his RINO ass back to Martha's Vineyard, or whatever exclusive enclave he hangs out in.
As it was, the conservative vote was split between an honest conservative who truly intended to win the job, and a candidate who only appeared to want the job, but mysteriously dropped out, right after he'd sucked away enough votes from the real conservative to kill his hopes of winning.
Now, maybe we won't see a tide of conservative voters rise to the occasion and demand we give another hopeful a shot at being nominated. There's every chance that it won't happen, but that won't stop real conservatives out here from suggesting that it should.
There's every appearance at this stage of the game that Romney will be the nominee, unless he suddenly keels over from a heart attack. Barring that, he's going to be on the ballot in November.
That's not really where my attention is, though. I'm ready to concede that the conservative right has lost the presidency this go-round, and am fixing my attention of the down ticket and the future response to whichever nanny state Socialist wins the general.
I guess all I can do is leave you with this:
Still waiting for an answer. And no, I won't be voting for Ron Paul.
You notice, so real, that PB still declines to answer my question. Too funny — not a clue.
I don`t really have to explain it, do I?
I don’t get it, I really don’t. Does reality really escape you that much? You are playing russian roulette and you have two guns to choose from. One with 5 out of 6 bullets loaded, and one with 2 or 3 out of 6 loaded. And your allowing hte one with 5 to be chosen?
Those are the choices we have. We didn’t want it, but we lost in the primaries. You actually think your achieving anything by standing on the sidelines? Because that is exactly what you are doing. It’s being a coward. Deal with removing this dictator of a president and then let’s deal with the Republican party. If we do not deal with this President, we are in huge trouble and maybe won’t even have the chance to deal with the party.
We don’t know what Romney will bring. Sure, he could bring some very bad stuff. We don’t know for SURE. We can make logical guesses from his past, but that is all it is... guesses. We KNOW what Obama will bring. He’s shown it, time and time again.
In any aspect of life, if you have someone that is actively absolutely destroying a country, company, team, etc you get rid of that person. As quickly as possible. You replace them with the next best thing. You don’t allow him to continue his rampage. If you do, you won’t have a chance.
And you, are not giving this country a chance. Thanks.
Our choice is whether to endure disappointment, or reelect the worst, most divisive, most destructive, most pro-Marxist, pro-death, pro-muzzie, incompetent, anti-American, anti-free enterprise, anti-everything we love and care for administration ever. I think that's Russian roulette with 6 bullets in the chamber versus disappointment..........
I'm with Palin, Cain, Newt, Santorum, Perry, and Bachmann - it's a no brainer.
Exactly. The choice is very clear.
Obamacare is based on Romneycare. He pushed socialized medicine on his state, he’s a socialist.
Again, I have no problem with the ABR posters; I just think you come off as foolish when you (and others who say the same thing) suggest that "there's still time to nominate someone else". That is simply so divorced from reality it invalidates everything you write. If you said "I wish we still nominated the way they did back in the early 20th century", you'd make some sense; but you seem to believe it still can happen that way. It's like listening to the opinions of someone who says they were abducted by aliens. You just can't take such a person seriously.
When you write such an ignorant statement, it implies you are either stupid, or so consumed by hatred of Romney that you can't reason. Look up socialist in the dictionary. Romney is anything but a socialist. Socialism is an economic system. Romney is a capitalist. Don't bother to reply until you become better educated.
When the only counter argument you have is insulting the person you’re arguing with it’s an admission that the facts aren’t on your side. So now YOU don’t bother to reply until you have at least one fact AND the ability to put together an insult free posts.
Meanwhile Romney IS a socialist, I don’t hate him, but I absolutely positively will never vote for him, for the simple reason that I’ve outlined. He’s a tax and spend liberal that pushed socialized medicine. Those are hate free insult free true actual facts presented to you by a well educated person.
yeah, that’s very true. It is the same encouragement that one shows when say, getting a colonoscopy. You do it not because you want to, just ‘cause you know it’s the right thing to do and in the end, inevitable (punny!).
Your inability to understand what a socialist is confirms my initial suspicion.
