Is The Fix In For Romney?

     I just read an article that said Rick Santorum won the Southern States this week, but that Mitt Romney was still the victor for the week because he won the South Pacific. Really?  Hawaii is the only state in the South Pacific.  Although I have nothing but respect for my friends and fellow citizens from the Islands, the Pacific Island Nations are sovereign protectorates that do not participate in the Electoral College.

     It appears that the Republican Party and the Press have been pulling strings for Romney from the very beginning.  First, Romney won Iowa, then he didn't.  He was projected to win South Carolina, even though he didn't.  The Ron Paul campaign disputes the Nevada results.  Romney was declared the winner of Maine on February 11th, even though the voting wasn't supposed to be over until March 3rd.  About this time, some outlets started declaring him the "winner" of the nomination, even though Romney only had 10% of the delegates needed and not all of them were definitely pledged to his campaign.  Romney then won his home state of Michigan, or maybe he didn't, but the Michigan Republican hierarchy voted to give it to him anyway.

     As a Conscious Conservative, I realize that the caucus/primary system is very complex and that some elections are hard to call from early returns.  However, it appears that every benefit of the doubt from the Press and the various Republican Committees goes to Mitt Romney.  It sure makes it look like the fix is in.    

Vote Like a Conscious Conservative

The 2010 election is less than a month away.  This is the perfect time to exercise your Conscious Conservative brain power and vote for candidates that will promote true conservatism in public office.  Be careful, there are many Unconscious Conservatives out there.  They will try to fool you with labels like Republican, family values candidate, Tea Party, Patriot.  A label is not an ideology.  I propose that we vote for only Conscious Conservatives and offer this quick guide to help.

1.  A Conscious Conservative can be of any party.  Republicans want you to believe that they have a monopoly on conservatism.  Many Republican Party candidates are Unconscious Conservatives,or not conservative at all.  Often you will find the Conscious Conservative is running under the label of the Libertarian Party, the Conservative Party or the Constitution Party.  Sometimes even the Democratic Party candidate will be the Conscious Conservative of the bunch.

2.  Look at the candidate's stand on the issues.  If you cannot determine the candidate's opinions, they are not a Conscious Conservative.  Often however, they will try to deceive you with Unconscious Conservative issues.  

                     Unconscious Conservative-  There should be prayer in public school.
                     Conscious Conservative-     There should be private schools.

                     Unconscious Conservative-  There should be a flat tax or fair tax.
                     Conscious Conservative-      There should be no direct tax on people's labor.

3.  Look at what a candidate has actually done.  Too often, talk is cheap.

4.  Don't be afraid to write in a vote or not vote at all.  The politicians count on the fact that we want to do our part as good Americans and vote.  They have manipulated that desire by creating a system where we are offered substandard candidates and are encouraged to vote for them.  You don't have to, it's okay.

I hope that you will follow this guide and go to the polls this November with an eye towards only voting for Conscious Conservative candidates.
