In some of our local elections the Democrats are more conservative than the Republicans. Strange but true

In Massachusetts, we'd be better off if the Republican Party disbanded, and the Democrats aligned into two groups...fiscally somewhat conservative vs. totally nutty about spending.

Mitt Romney is no better; he ignored the convention in his preference for Lieutenant Governor. I most probably won't vote for him, unless he finds a way to get Kerry Healey off the ticket and Jim Rappaport on.

I know what you mean. In Illinois, the Republican Party is in shambles and the current Republican candidate for Governor, Jim Ryan, doesn't deserve the job.

In a situation like this, it is hard for a principled conservative voter to choose whether or not to vote for the RINO who doesn't deserve the job and add to the probability of a Democrat winning, or vote for the Libertarian in the hope that this will give a loud signal to the Republican Party in Illinois to become more conservative and less big government.
