U.S. Senate Race

I didn't but that isn't going to change anything in the Fall. It is still going to be R or O.

Only if you vote for R.

Accepting the notion that you have no impact, is only letting the GoP establishment get what it wants.

I'm no fan of the GOP establishment. In fact, I've been out campaigning against one of their candidates. I cheered when Lugar was defeated. That schmuck was involved in the same LOST (Law of the Sea Treaty) fiasco that the President is trying to foist on us. Somehow, we keep loosing sight of the fact that there are those on both sides of the isle to are doing us a lot more harm in elected office than good.

But I'll promise you one thing: there will be no "O" vote from me in November. Romney on his worst day is nowhere near that bad. In search of the perfect candidate, we found one that is against everything that I believe in. I was thrilled to see a bunch of GOP wins keep him in check until we can put HIM on the unemployment line. We'll deal with any more GOP problems like Lugar later. Somehow, I believe Dewhurst is closer to the Lugar mold than Cruz.

There is a small fact of American politics as it stands at the present time. It takes a LOT of money to run for high office. I don't like it, you probably don't like it, millions of other Americans don't like it, but its still true. Due to this fact, it takes a large party, dare I say it, establishment behind that candidate to get them the money and recognition to get elected. Because of that, we are forced to make compromises on who to elect to office. If you are able to build a national party that is more conservative in nature than the Republican Party and get it funded and find a great candidate that can compete against both the Democrat and Republican Party nominees toe-to-toe, please do so. But, until then, I and a whole lot of other folks are not willing to throw votes away that may be the difference between electing a Republican that is at least reasonably conservative versus a Democrat who is, by word and deed, a leftist statist (at least as AMERICAN politics go). In the meantime of waiting for that conservative party to come into being and attract the money it needs and the candidates that can get elected, we should push for more conservative Republicans to run...I believe this has already been occurring. However, due to various factors that are indeed out of my personal control, Mitt Romney is likely to be the Republican Party nominee. The Democrat Party and the bulk of its candidates is NOT the Democrat Party of old, that at least cared about America in some fashion. And I WILL hold my nose and vote for Mitt Romney over that Marxism-informed, "crony" capitalist, crook-deal-making, Hollywood-backed, thinks-like-a-foreigner, U.N.-loving, hates-my-firearms, former-"choom gang" elitist-attitude amateur currently occupying the White House.
