"None" as to Repub's you ever voted for President.
They have nominated shitty candidates. I voted Libertarian, as Republicans on the national level have been chumps. I also voted Obama in 2008, but he has since disappointed me.
Not one Republican since you have been voting was ever worthy of your vote.
Wrong. I've voted Republican in statewide office. Don't assume you know me, it is rather insulting.
And the following Democrats met/meet your standards for high office:
Michael Dukakis/Lloyd Benson
Where did you get that idea? Wasn't in my post...
Bill Clinton/Al Gore
Once, at least. The Bosnian conflict gave me pause, though.
Al Gore/Joe Lieberman
As opposed to Bush/Cheney? I would have gladly, but I voted for Ralph Nader, confident California would go Dem anyway.
John Kerry/John Edwards
Kerry: war hero. Bush: trained chimp with a rich family and lots of connections to evil assholes.
Barack Obama/Joe Biden
Once. He seemed like he might keep his word on Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, plus he promised to end pork in legislation. He sucks, but the Republicans need to stop nominating shitheads.
Barack Obama/Joe Biden
Try Gary Johnson. He was not the man I wanted, but neither was Obama, and I was sure Obama would win over Mr. flip-flop 47% Romneycare.
Joe Biden/Nancy Pelosi... or some other... tba
Hahaha, do I sense some trepidation over a certain unmentioned name, a name that polls better than the entire Republican party, or any individual Republican...
Seems "the crazies" in 2013 have little to do with your vote, nothing for R's to fix, short of abandon all their own beliefs and principles wholesale. Crazies or not, you are not going to vote Republican. You think, maybe, wishful, if there ever were a RINO, you might.
You obviously didn't know the Republican party used to be pro-choice... RINO should stand for Republicans: Intelligent about a National Objective. No republican will ever win the nation with that losy platform. They could nominate a solid gold Jesus, and he would havve lost to Obama because their platform recently has sucked. Social conservatives and Know-Nothing dipshits...
that's consevatism? Fuck it, I'll be liberal then.
President Obama's Ambassador to China, John Huntsman, is not at all a 'conservative' whatsoever, and so was never going to get a R nomination... he is a left wing media favorite, spent zip on his race, and was against anything Republican in nature, against the entire platform, and the beliefs of any constituency at all in the R Primaries. Nice hair.
Again, what is conservative about telling people what they can and cannot do with their bodies? You complain about 'big government,' but W fucked the country's finances like a cheap Tijuana whore. Nominate someone who knows fiscal responsibility, REAL fiscal responsibility, then ask me why I didn't vote for them.
The last Republican Candidate who was a left wing media favorite and RINO, John McCain, until he actually ran for President, then he was dropped like the lightweight he always has been. Nice guy, not conservative at all, but good at retaining his seat. Only Sara Palin's endorsement saved his seat in his last Senate election, so we still have him on the Sunday shows, undercutting any party position, or any electable Republican, to the delight of the left wing media, who invite him on those shows for that reason.
Hahaha, it looks like I'm wasting my time here...
Mitt Romney tried to skate by on Obama's faults, without telling anyone why he should be elected, other than to counter some Obama comment. He had Barry on the ropes, and just dropped the ball, electing to allow himself to be bullied in the second debate, when he knew he was right... was robbed, but he dropped the ball, backed off, hoping the press would suddenly like him better. Not going to happen, but with no conservative backbone, never stood a chance. Sad. And so for the moment, we have what we have.
You mean you
like the inventor of Obamacare? I thought you were supposed to be conservative... Romney was a flip-flopping coward. Hell, even his money hid. Slimy little worm couldn't buy the office, but he's still got your love...
I am not saying I agreed and supported fully many of the Republican Nominees either, but the reason was not because MSNBC quoted some 'yahoo' who whipped up a target, or made some insensitive comments. Sadly, the people in front of the R Party need to go, and be primaried out, to get some leadership that is electable, running for President but more occupying Committee Chairs, and Ranking Members positions, to drag this Congress forward, while being able to speak English plainly, and explain the party votes and positions and principles to our low information voters, and high interest voters alike.

Good luck with that. Nationally, your party's policies poll for shit. I'd like to see true fiscal conservatism, social liberalism, and for once, just for once, responsible spending. No recent Republican has been even close to a conservative, including the Almighty Reagan. Reagan was a fiscal liberal, but he fooled a nation into thinking he had worked some magic. His mystique still lives on, as do the lies our nation tells about him.
