Romney did socialized health care, McCain wants so many left-wing things it's a waste of time to list them all, GWB nationalized schools, prescription drugs, banks, stimulus, TARP, etc. I mean, if you ask me, the end of Bush's last term looked like it was carefully coordinated to usher in the era of Obama. Bush laid all the groundwork for what's going on today. You're either limiting, thus reducing, the size of government, or you're not a conservative in my mind. I'm old school. I never learned to love the State. Honestly, I see John McCain and Mitt Romney (and even GWB) as virtually the same as Obama.

What you need to ask yourself is are the likes of John McCain, Mitt Romney, etc... better or worse than Obama, Reid and Pelosi? It is true that they sometimes do things no real conservative would do, but they are followers. So if libs are in power, they follow the libs. If conservatives are in power, then they follow the conservatives. I understand what you are saying, but if a third party fractures the conservative vote, the Democrats will win - every time.
