Ronald Reagan famously stated that he didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left him. Let this be a stearn warning to the establishment regarding the conservative block. I would never leave the Republican Party, so please...please don't leave me.

Before I get some nasty comments about how I am not supporting a war hero, may I remind those reading that I myself am an Iraqi War Veteran. I have never been a big fan of McCains and I always thought I would have to eventually write this, but I always thought I would have to put in the usual niceties of "while he is a man of honor" "while he is a man of unquestionable integrity" unfortunately, I don't feel compelled to write that. That said, nominating McCain would be akin to the elephant commiting suicide. While this may be a stretch, why doesn't the Democratic Party entertain nominating Robert Byrd for President? Because the black caucus is an overwhelming constituency for the Democrat Party. Why then, is it so outrageous to sit here and condemn 72 year old liberal who happens to be the reason we have the term RINO in the first place. I don't get a vote until March 4th, when Ohio votes, but I will say that I am tired of the elitist Republican Washington establishment trying to decide for us what denotes a conservative or not. For those Congressmen or Senators who are deciding to sit this one out and "not get their hands dirty," if you truly value conservative thought or your conservative base, jump in the game. If you endores McCain, explain to us why he really is a conservative and why we are wrong, don't just give us some platitudes about his war service. If you don't endorse Romney, why don't you think he is the one to be a standard bearer for the next generation. If you don't have answers, then your political expedience is as bad as McCain's dishonesty about Romney.

Speaking of which, for someone who talked about "I want the President in the best way, not the worst way" in 2000, a lot has changed in 8 years. Ann Coulter does a good job taking him to task on this so I won't go into it. Also, the great one Mark Levin offers this.     Of course Hugh Hewitt offers this, all respected conservatives, great arguments, all saying the same thing...

We are nearing a precipice for the modern conservative movement. Will we jump? And if we don't, will the Republican party still be standing there next to us? Only time will tell.
