Here is my problem with what is happening even now on FR. Everyone is spending all their time slamming every potential Republican candidate, and promising to continue to do so, even through the 2016 general election.
They are forgetting the horrible lesson we still suffer from, from the 2012 election.
The Dem minorities did not elect Barack Obama. Had the socially conservative Americans voted instead of staying home because Romney wasn’t conservative “enough,” Obama would have been sent packing.
Perhaps Romney wasn’t conservative enough to please many of us entirely, but with Romney we would have not had any mass illegal immigration from Mexico.
We would not be about to let Iran develop an fission (or even a fission/fusion) weapon.
Israel would still be a friend.
Rifle ammunition would not be banned, nor would there have been an attempt to do so.
Former US military rifles, such as the M1 Carbine could be re-imported into the US.
US companies would not be sued by the government because their religious beliefs prevented them from paying for abortion-inducing pills.
Obamacare would have been repealed by a Republican President, Senate and House, or absent a repeal, radically de-fnded.
Racial rioters would not have been encouraged.
Our AG would not be a radical woman.
Pacific trade would not be an issue.
Our military would not be headed for its lowest strengths since before WWII.
The 5 Taliban leaders would still be in Gitmo, as would be many others terrorists.
Beau Bergdhal would be dead, in Leavenworth or still living with the savages.
and so many other Obama programs would never have seen the light of day. If anyone has any questions, wait until he forgives all Black college loans, pays Black reparations, and frees “poor” Black drug dealers, and orders federal “monitors” to prevent voter ID in 2016.
Every program Barack Obama has proposed since Jan 20, 2013, and from now on, is thanks in part to conservatives who thought Romney wasn’t conservative “enough”, and sat home on election day.
How many were motivated to do so by leftist radicals posing as conservatives on websites such as FR, who knows?
The bottom line is a trifecta of three truths.
1: The candidate elected President in 2016 will come from either the Dems or the Republicans. A third party candidate would only split the vote, and ensure the Dem gets elected, as Ross Perot did.
2: We can work hard now to get a real conservative nominated but anyone who would not vote for the MORE conservative of the two candidates, no matter who he is, issimply helping a radical leftist get elected .... (and maybe even really trying to do so)
3: Dems are smart. They all work hard to get their individual candidate nominated. If their candidate is not nominated, they unite behind the liberal who is. We don’t.
It’s very simple. The reality is we all work hard for our favorite candidates now to try to get them nominated, and then unite behind the victor no matter who he is.... or we help elect the radical Dem.
In 2012 we didn’t, to the intense pleasure of the Obamanistas and some radicals posing as conservatives. In case you wonder how pervasive this is, it’s no secret Russia and the Dems both have huge disruptor operations working against us and other conservative websites.
We can help decide who wins the 2016 nomination, but if we sit home because the nominated candidate isn’t conservative “enough,” we’re helping put Hillary in the White House.
They fooled us in 2012. Will they get away with it again?
You claim to have been a long time lurker, I think you're a liar. Lurkers know better than to make Nazi references when referring to long time FReepers.
Long time lurkers would also know the difference between Republicans and conservatives. You clearly don't shit. You have also proven you don't know squat about much of which you speak. "Abortion is the major deciding issue in an election for less than 1% of the population"? Where do you get that garbage? Did you learn from "lurking" that you can just make shit up? Had you really lurked you would know you can't get away with that. See how easy it is to tell you are a fraud?
Here's a tip, n00b. Learn the ropes. Don't use Nazi references. Don't expect liberal Republicans to be accepted in a conservative forum. Unless and until you do you won't be around long.

I have been saying for a long time that I will not forgive those who sat at home in the 2012 general election because they did not like the Republican nominee. Mitt Romney would have been a thousand time better than that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
One thing about the democrats, they stick together. Why can't the Republicans. I think that is really a shame
