As a staunch tea party conservative, I take the position that I will vote for any Republican in the field... except for Mitt Romney.
I cannot in my right mind vote for a Massachusetts progressive who practically authored the Obamacare law - I simply won't do it.
I'm not buying the "anybody but Obama" rhetoric Glenn Beck and the right wing media is spouting out.
If it comes to Romeny vs Obama, I will personally sit this election out.
Do other conservatives feel the same way?

Single issue voters are interesting. Usually you hear that from Ron Paul supporters, but sometimes others do. The most common issue those others tend to pick as the single issue is abortion, one side of it or the other. They can't vote for someone in favor of killing babies OR can't vote for someone taking away women's control of their own bodies.
I can't vote for anyone that doesn't offer economic and military support for The Southern Ethiopian People's Democratic Movement. I also couldn't vote for anyone who eats pizza with a fork.
I'm of the opinion that you don't throw your vote away simply because you disagree with a presidential candidate over a singular issue. You have to take all the issues into consideration; try to see the big picture if you will. Then vote accordingly.
IMO, if a singular issue keeps you from casting your vote, then odds are your vote wasn't worth casting in the first place.

I'm a liberal Republican, and I'm voting for Ron Paul. He's risen in the Iowa GOP caucus, so he has a definite chance.
In fact, I even think some liberals would vote for him. I made a thread about it here:

I'm a single issue voter this election. I'm against corruption. And I'm tired of the lobbying-industrial-congressional complex imprisoning people just so those with money can make more money.

No, I do not.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is nothing new to me. I'm actually getting used to it.... might as well, that's what we always end up with.
At this point in time there is NO point in voting 3rd party except as a token protest that will go all but unnoticed.
I am so unhappy with the GOP frontrunners I might vote Ron Paul in the primary just for sheer cuss-headed middle-fingerness.
I don't think he has a prayer though.

Here is the problem with that - By voting the lesser of two evils, there is no incentive for the Democratic and Republican parties to change their thieving ways. Sure, the Libertarian party will only get about 5% of the vote, but the GOP can say to itself "If that vote goes to us, we can win". But, until they mend their ways, that 5% stays off the table for them. I, for one, am not going to whore my vote out to a party that stopped representing me more than a decade ago.
I am certain that if Mitt gets the nomination he will be defeated in the worst landslide election in modern history.

So who out of the GOP primary lineup do you think can win
Gingrich and Huntsman have the best chance. But the rest have a good chance, except for Romney.
Huntsman, Bachmann and Santorum didn't get enough signatures to even get on the Virginia GOP primary. Don't know about other states yet.
Just heard this on the local news today - Huntsman, Bachmann and Santorum didn't get enough signatures to even get on the Virginia GOP primary. Don't know about other states yet.
