Simple. Read the name of every person abandoning conservatism for their blessed RINOs. I have debated most of them. I have nothing to fear.
Do your own legwork.

"A vote for anyone other than the Republican, no matter who that Republican is, is a vote for Harry Reid and Barack Obama. "

Sometimes you have to burn it down and start over.

Romney's out announcing a GOP Senate will put an Immigration Bill on POTUS desk.

He cannot.

Everytime he types one of their names on his keyboard, it fades in and out on his screen. Just like a cheshire.

The ones that just thought the conservative primary candidate basically was owed a win because they were conservative.

In Kentucky Mitch fought like hell, while our side just sneered at how dirty he was for fighting harder than we did.

In South Carolina we ran a bunch of people in a stupid plan to try to beat Graham by keeping his vote total under 50%, instead of running ONE guy to beat him outright.

And then these people acted like the RINOs just really pulled a dirty trick by actually beating those candidates, and not just losing?

They were so cocky that they forgot to actually destroy these guys, and instead thought that it would be an easy win.

Nobody has abandoned anything. We must stop Obama.

I imagine if you were to hold your nose and vote for Reagan?
You do recall all of his liberal policies eh?

(I say if..because I doubt you have ever voted, and if admit to it, Nader would be #1.)

People that won’t fight should lose. And that includes so called conservatives. Eventually when their big screens and new toys are repoed of banned they will man up.

But this thread shows they only fight against conservatism/conservative ideas. Not against RINOs. They vote for those every time.

I vote for conservatives every election. Including Reagan once. As I was too young for twice.

Ball in your court sport.

And yes, if you vote RINO, you abandon conservatism to do it. The two diametrically opposed ideas cannot both be held true. If you vote for a RINO, you EMPOWER RINO ideals.

Do your own legwork.

Of what? Your the one making some kind of accusation against everyone on this thread. You are engaged in some circular logic that is only ingrained in libtards.

Make an accusation, be prepared to back it up.

Based on decades of study of the writings of America's Founders, and given the dire situation that we and others like us over several decades have allowed to occur because of our own failures to articulate and defend the ideas of liberty from assault and takeover by those who called themselves "liberals," and now self-identify as "progressives," one, if honest, must conclude that Hunter's analysis is spot on!

He should have added one further point: vote, and then dedicate every ounce of your energy from that moment on to holding the recipient of your reluctant vote to upholding the principles and ideas of liberty upon which America's 200-year history was formed!

You have technology available which can put the Founders' plain and simple ideas into the hands of every person you know. There is now no excuse for allowing the counterfeit ideas so-called "progressives" teach in the schools to dominate public debate on issues.

We lazy citizens have allowed our liberty to be commandeered by power-greedy political ideologues. An informed electorate might, over the next two years, be willing to hear and consider the ideas of a Cruz over those of a Clinton. We can do our part, but not if we take the "exit ramp" on voting day.

Been down that road sport. I have individually called people on this on this thread. Everyone can read. But you it seems.

You express a point that leaves out the majority, and discounts the abject selfishness of those trying to send a message that falls on deaf ears. The message of the selfish and self righteous is only heard by the majority who are made to suffer the abject stupidity of those few quitters willing to sell the rest of us into slavery.

I am late to this thread and have read but two posts. Remaining comments self censored but recorded, and should I find them proven true by the remainder of this thread, I just might comment again.

It appears you are not aware that many of those candidates were propped up by Graham and SCGOPe funds to muddy the primary waters. Difficult to prove, but folks here suspect it.

Yes, SC conservatives were out-maneuvered by the Republican Party elite...again...as many times prior.

Of course, you do know that in SC, the primary system deck is stacked in favor of the Uni-Party in Columbia, don't you. You seem well-informed enough to know that.

The questions you pose represent a weak attempt to obfuscate and misdirect. Very few here would dispute that GOP leadership has been pitiful for an extended period of time. Your hope is that by highlighting that fact you will be able to discourage conservative voters from voting against the much greater evil - democrats.

Here are but a few of the questions you should be asking yourself: Would Obamacare have been proposed/passed under Romney/Mcain? Would those people who died because their coverage was cancelled as a result of obamacare have suffered their fate under Romney/Mcain? Would the judiciary be filled with left wing radicals under Romney/McCain? Would Romney/McCain be preparing to unilaterally and unconstitutionally grant amnesty to millions of illegals? How easy will it be to reverse the damage done by Obama?

These are but a few questions that come to mind that you should be asking yourself - there are countless other questions that are of dramatically greater importance to the long term future of this country than the ones you posed in your pathetically transparent attempt to obfuscate. Really, just go away and shut up.

Seriously?

Yeah it was someone else’s fault. That’s the ticket to winning. Offload the screw up on supposed moderates that were looking for another moderate to beat Romney.

That’s classic self-denial.

God help is if Cruz runs. We can be assured that people on FR will dismiss him as an “also ran” moderate too.
