Caustic Conservative:
This whole voting for Republicans because they're a sight better than Dems is what's getting us into trouble in the first place. I'm frankly sick and tired of having to pick the "lesser of two evils". Nothing changes if the status quo is maintained. We continue to grow further from our core principles, and conservatism gets redefined by non-conservatives. How on earth is that helping our cause?
Why should I have to hold my nose and vote for who's left - when I have HUGE reservations about each of the five remaining candidates?
Putting more bad Republicans in the White House is no different than 4 years of a Democrat. You're going to get some socialistic/populistic form of government - so what choice do we really have?
I won't support Huckabee, Giuliani or McCain. Huckabee's whole "My Christianity is better than your Christianity" eliminated him immediately - along with his appearance at John Hagee's church. Giuliani is pro-choice and anti-2nd Amendment. Promises and pinky swears won't do it for me. McCain's "I get it - build the fence" while still holding on to McCain-Kennedy is nothing more than a big middle finger to Americans who want secure borders. That leaves me with Romney and Ron Paul. However, I'm unwilling to pick up pom poms for either one of these guys.
While the Fred Heads for Mitt is a sweet gesture - it's not swaying me to his side. I see many of his moves and changes as nothing more than politically expedient. I could support a Romney/Thompson ticket. But Thompson in the VP slot is the only way to make it palatable to me.
Mr. Moran alluded to the main reason why I'm hesitant in supporting Ron Paul. His supporters are seen as odd ducks, and 9/11 truth loons. You're known by the company you keep - so no thanks. I know there are sane/rational people who support Congressman Paul, but they seem to be in the minority. Or just don't get as much media coverage.
That's the opinion of a FredHead in Ohio. I envy those who had the opportunity to vote for Senator Thompson in caucuses or primaries - at this point I'm not sure if he'll even be on our ballot.
