Comment: supporting romney

Ron Paul and his supporters were treated like illigitimate step children by the Republican Party organizations both State and national.

Now they want us to shine their shoes and be happy about it.

No thank you! I've carried water for Republican candidates for over 45 years, but no more.

I still remmember back in 2003 when then Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie, who visited the offices of the Manchester Union Leader in New Hampshire, and in the words of a Union-Leader editorial, "said in no uncertain terms that the days of Reaganesque Republican railings against the expansion of federal government are over."

The philosophical problem of big government is not really a politician's fundamental issue. Rather, it's a matter for op-ed pages and in magazines, in books and on radio programs like Limbaugh's.

The Union-Leader says Gillespie made clear that "the Republican Party [no longer stands] for shrinking the federal government, for scaling back its encroachment into the lives of Americans, or for carrying the banner of federalism into the political battles of the day."

Conservatism in the Republican Party is DEAD. There is no place for a Constitutional conservative in this party. Goodbye, and kiss my A_ _.
