Re:Republicans nullify conservatives. I believe the Steele leadership is a precursor to what Romney would offer as President if he were to obtain that position. Republicans counting on true conservatives and people of faith to support them because of the consequences of re-electing Obama may not have come to terms with how tired conservatives are with Republican double talk. I supported McCain because of Palin on the ticket, no matter how conservative Romney might choose his VP I am no longer supporting the Republican ticket. I am preparing my personal life and household for drastic changes to come in the future of this once great land.
After the primary is over and the Republican establishment wins, the usual suspects line up to give the rest of us out here in the grassroots a sanctimonious lesson in party unity.
But after a series of unfortunate events like what took place in Oklahoma this week, with Republicans and not Democrats nullifying conservatives, the whole “rah-rah go team GOP” thing is becoming a tougher pill for some conservatives to swallow.
Oklahoma is among the reddest of red states. Republicans dominate state government there, possessing 31 of the 48 seats in the Oklahoma Senate and 68 of the 99 seats in...
I voted for Newt in Florida. He obviously lost, bummer. But that's over. At this point, if Hillary Clinton was chosen as the Republican candidate in the general election, I would march down to the polling place and vote for her.
I might waver if it was Hugo Chavez, maybe.

I understand your frustration. I do. I have told myself many times what you are telling yourself right now, but please consider the following:
The Democratic party use to be a party of some principles. They fought for the working man, and although I disagreed with them on many things, I think they cared about making a better America. Now, the Dem party is dominated by communists. It has taken about 55 years for the communists to take over the Dem party.
We can remake the Repub party into a conservative party, but it will take time, and the efforts of all of us. Being faint hearted won’t get us there. “Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
You may not even live to see the good results, but when you stand before “your redeemer” at least you can say you did your best.
