Did you vote for Rand Paul?

I'm really just curious if the opposition party or parties will have any unity in November of 2016 or if we will likely have another four to eight years of control by the people handling Obama.

To be quite frank, while I would vote for Rand Paul, he has begun to stray off the reservation on issues like illegal immigration and pandering to blacks (remember that?). No problem courting a new constituency but pandering is bullshit.

Cruz is my guy, or some palatable alternative to him.

I would like to see Paul as VPOTUS. I'm not a big fan of some of his foreign policy ides (too close to his dad's, but Rand isn't blaming Israel). I would go for Cruz or West.

Would stay home for Chrisite and maybe even Jeb because of his stance on illegal immigration.

Electability isnt something that should be considered when voting.

I would always suggest voting for a republican over a democrat, even if you disagree with some of their choices.

Yeah, I know. Why I'd stay home for Christie.

Cart before the horse! He has to win the primary first and your assumption that he will is a big one. I will get behind whomever wins the primary, even if I have to hold my nose to do so in order to get the WH out of demonic control.

Unfortunately, you know that it is. The last presidential election is a good example. I RARELY heard ANYONE say they were for Romney during the primaries. Yet he won the nomination. Of course all this was under the shadow of the MSM telling Republicans who *should* be nominated as he stood the "best chance against Obama". Clever little ploy, and it apparently worked. For the handful of voices I ever heard supportive of Romney he sure won the nomination, which tells me "electability" was EXACTLY what was on the minds of Republican primary voters (at least enough for him to be nominated). This has to be eradicated from primary voters' thought processes (or lack thereof). I no longer feel compelled to vote for their poorly thought-out choices just because ZZZ might be elected otherwise. Maybe THEY should have thought about that in the primary booth and voted their conscience.

It is thinking like this that is at least partly responsible for BHO getting a second term. By that I mean the people that could not bring themselves to vote for Romney and either cast a protest vote, or simply refused to vote at all.

And I was for Romney all the way and feel confident that history has shown he would have been a much better president than BHO. Heck, alsmost anybody could.

No, it is thinking like THAT which accounted for Obama's second term. You were in a minority in the Republican Party, trust me. See my previous post. The MSM made primary voters into friggin' morons who voted for "electability" (coupled with VERY few Romney true-believers like yourself) then attempted to shame the rest of us in the general election. It worked on me last time but will NOT ever again.

Oh, I'm far from alone in my view about this. There were a huge number of those who, like myself, held their nose but refuse to do so anymore if the Republicans can't nominate someone worth a damn. In fact, it's more than enough to ruin the election chances of a RINO if that's what primary voters put forth. Oh well, choose carefully.......

No, it was the media and DNC going all out in an effort to destroy Romney or any other GOP contender that got Obama his second term.

For all that he might not be, Romney is a good man overall. And I've never seen anyone get pummeled like he did. All he needed to do was sprout horns and everything would have been complete in their world.

And yes, he would have been a far better President than Obama.
