So what do we do this election season?

It looks like the Dems are going to anoint either Hillary or Obama to be their candidate, neither of whom have the resume or the right ideology to be President, IMHO. In addition to their lack of experience, they have both campaigned on a platform of raising taxes and losing the war in Iraq and we can count on both of them to support anti-gun legislation and pander to illegal aliens. America doesn't need or want any of that crap.

But sadly, the GOP seems bent on giving the nod to McCain, a long-time Liberal Republican who has thumbed his nose at us conservatives over and over again on those same issues. Either way, us real conservatives wind up being left out in the cold and America in general seems poised to take a four-year-long punch in the gut.

I'm supporting Romney at this point, mainly because he's the closest thing to a real conservative left, and also because I can not and will not cast my vote for Hillary, Obama or John McCain. I don't care for Mike Huckabee either, even though Chuck Norris is endorsing him, and Ron Paul is still the biggest joke in the race, especially now that we've all seen how naive he is in areas like foreign policy. His racist views, hypocrisy on government spending and nutty ideas about 9/11 government conspiracies are just icing on the cake, but for some reason his nutball fringe is still clinging to him like some sort of demento messiah. But Huckabee and Paul aren't going anywhere anyway, so it's not worth spending the effort worrying about either of them.

This November, the race for the White House will likely to be either an Obama/McCain contest or a Hillary/McCain run-off. Like many true Conservatives, I believe that none of them are right for America. I can't have either of those Dems but I won't reward the GOP with a default vote for McCain after all that he's done. To me, unless Romney is in the final run or another conservative candidate materializes from somewhere, it's now a choice between staying home on election day or just casting that Hillary vote as a slap back at the GOP for totally turning their backs on the conservatives who gave them everything a few elections ago only to see them squander it all by turning their backs on us and pandering shamelessly to the Left.

The way I see it, if I'm going to get hosed royally for at least four years, better it comes from someone who has already declared that they are my ideological enemy than from someone who pretends to be my guy but stabs me and others like me in the back time after time. Screw you, John McCain. And if the GOP selects you to be the Republican candidate, screw them too. This Reagan Republican will be sitting it out.
