McCain, and Romney. Two hopeless candidates.
I didn't vote for either, and my conscience is clear.

Because of people with your attitude we have Obamacare and the Obama depression.

I did not particularly care for either but compared to the alternative I did not have to hold my nose!

So we get people like Pe;psi, Reid, and Obama! These three gave us Obamacare. How long will the country last with people like that running the country.

I think you are correct.
That is all you will get anyways. These rinos keep getting their heads handed to them by pelosi and group.

They are apparently terrified by the liberal media!

My opinion is it is better to elect a RINO or a moderate conservative than to vote for someone who hasn't a chance in Hades of winning and thereby giving the Demo-Marxist the seat. At least the RINO or moderate conservative will listen to my phone call and read my email, knowing I am his/her constituency. I can somewhat hold them accountable until the party gets its act together and actually lives up to the principles of Reagan and fiscal responsibility.
The Demo-Marxist hits "Do Not Disturb" on his/her phone, or "delete" on his/her email, when I attempt contact. They have no interest in accountability to me whatsoever.
Voting for minority, sure-to-lose candidates is a vote for cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Stand on principle if you think you must, but when the Demo-Marxists remain in power and the voices of varying degrees of reason in Washington, as represented by Republicans, are again powerless to stop the freight train of socialism, you have no right to complain. When push came to shove, you became part of the problem, rather than being the solution.

My view is it is no different to elect one or the other. The results are the exact same thing.

Utterly ridiculous.
The main reason the Republicans are sitting on the sidelines right now is because of Harry Reid being able to control legislation at gunpoint. The Republicans are gun shy, they are not wanting to stand on principle and even make a show vote knowing it will fail. That is irresponsible, but in a way it is understandable.
Given a majority, I'm confident they will act. It isn't because they agree with the Democrats, it is because they don't want to look bad. Again, stupidity on their part, but they will try to do the right thing given the ability to run the table as they want.
I am not confident. Old McConnel was willing to filibsuster campaign finance reform but dogs Cruz for doing the same on Obamacare. They have their own agenda. And conservatives are not going to vote for rinos anymore. Put up true conservative candidates or no one. McConnel and Boehner need to go. Asap
No new spending. If the candidate is not willing to put an end to all spending I aint voting for him. And neither are a lot of people. If we never start demanding the right thing to be done it will never get done.

Quite simply, that's a recipe for disaster.
In a war, when you're outmanned and outgunned, you give up space for time. That should be our tactic until McConnell, McCain, et al can be removed and true conservatives put in their place. Better to give some ground in order to gain time to mount a counterattack. This is truly a war for the future of the nation. We cannot surrender to the Demo-Marxists by capitulating and casting "protest votes" that are worse than worthless.

You are correct. People have to understand that the idea of "voting for the man" means almost nothing when considering that the houses of Congress are controlled by the majority party. I could have the most conservative pro-life Representative or Senator in the country but if he votes to organize a house as a democrat body we get Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid. Even the RINO's will vote to establish a house as a Republican body assuming they have the majority.
The recipe for disaster is putting up rinos for candidates.

Do as you wish. Don't blame OR and I when you get what your strategy dictates. Principles are non-functional in politics, in case you haven't noticed. As in war, you do what you have to do.
And "There is no crying in baseball."
Well you guys can play all the games you want. What we need is someone who will put an end to spending and that is on anything at all. Pay the bills first. Secure the border first. Period. Everything else is just more of the same.
BY the way the establishment rinos like Boehner do not share your philosophy on just get someone with an "R" in office. Jolly just won in Florida no thanks to the rinos who stopped giving him and campaign funds because he would not commit to supporting Boehner no matter what. So they cut of funds, his opponent out spent him by a long shot.
He won anyway. So you might want to contact Boehner with your philosophy so he can get on board.
Personally, I believe it's way too early to predict who will wind up being the "Standard Bearer" for either the Republicans or the Democrats in 2014.
The majority of Americans do not have that great of an attention span when it comes to forming an opinion on political matters.
More than likely, most of or nation's populace won't form an opinion on the person(s) and/or party for which they'll vote until sometime in mid-to-late October of this election year.
