Read through this thread the last couple of days.

I am a conservative.

I am registered as a Republican because they, at one time, represented my conservative viewpoints.

However, I will not vote for someone strictly because they have an "R" next to their name.  I did that with McCain and I said never again.  Romney had a conservative business mind which I viewed as most important in this last election.

But if the Republicans put up candidates in presidential elections that are less than conservative, I just won't vote for anyone for president.  I'm certainly not going to vote for a liberal.  The only "conservatives" who vote for Democrats are liberals who mistakenly consider themselves to be conservatives.

Now there are those who say that they'll vote for the most conservative, even if that most conservative candidate is really a moderate liberal or a liberal-lite.  I'm not going to do that.  The accusations that not voting at all is a vote for the more liberal candidate will come from some, but I don't care.

At least where I'm living the local and state Republican candidates are conservative, so I'll place my vote for them.  But as a party, if the Republicans aren't going to be conservative, then in national elections they won't get my support.  They figure this out, I and many others will come back.  Maybe we are too small of a group and they'll ignore us.  In the meanwhile, they can wander around in the wilderness trying to figure out why they can't win the WH, when they could have taken that time too get their mind right and to be real conservatives.

.

I'm pretty close to reaching that point as well.   I won't vote for someone just cuz they have an (R) behind their name.

They have under 4 years to figure it out, otherwise the DEMS will win the WH in '16.

I don't think they will ever figure it out. Unless we get a real conservative that will go toe to toe, tit for tat, and get down to the Democrats/media level of dirty politics, it will be the same song. The leadership of the Repub party is just too damn stupid to understand that.

I agree. I am usually a laid back and patient person and prefer that general mood because, it just makes life seem better in general--and it keeps the blood pressure down. I have been described as having the patience of Job. However, as I age, the trip limit on my BS meter keeps getting set lower and lower. When someone tosses BS at me and expects to easily accept it, it gets tripped and I let them know what I think of what they have said and even of them.

What the Republican Party and the RNC have been doing wrt REAL Conservatives is pure BS and total stupidity.

So you're a hypocrite then?

Come in here and criticize us for doing the exact same thing YOU did?

Duck dodge and weave all you want to.  But you've sat there berating us for supporting the GOP and talking about real Conservatives versus RINO's and then admit you voted for Romney?

 :mental:

And then on top of it you pull out this phony bullshit poll supposedly showing Conservatives voting for Carter and Obama and your "source" is a website only Liberals would use.

Yeah like I said...hypocrite. 

And even though this is painfully obvious to everyone but you...Romney wasn't Conservative.

This conservative did not want Mitt. So, you speak with forked tongue.  People like Rove, Krawhammer, Wills, Coulter, O'Reilly and the Yankees in the northeast did but I do not consider them conservatives. They are Democrat lite, RINO's and big know it all stupid assholes.

Me-Too Romney a conservative?  Bullshit. In important ways, he is indistinguishable from Obama.

I judge a man based on what he has done, not what he says. Romney's track record as governor, 2003-2007:
1. Romneycare
2. "Assault weapon" ban
3. Signed legislation increasing use of taxpayer funds to build low income housing

The election's over. Stop pissing on our heads and telling us it's summer rain.

NO.  The delegates are the ones who VOTE at the local and national level for these candidates.   They are NOT bought off by those with deep-pockets (and if they are then I am missing a freaking payment  :censored:).

THEY control the process.   THEY control who gets the nomination.   THEY control the platform.

THEY = YOU.  

Of course, the smoking man thinks you have said too much... so listen for those helicopters...




So YOU are a delegate? Explain to me exactly what a delegate does and how it affects my vote.

Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?***Ronald Reagan
