I am a conservative, which is a rare lifeform in the great state of Connecticut. I’m also Black so I’m pretty much an alien when it comes to my politics. 
I know there are lots of liberal bees here and I just wanted to reach out and see if there are any conservatives buzzing around.
Not starting this thread to cause drama. Just wanted to have some place for us to come and say “Hey, I’m here.” and maybe have a good discussion about the election and the RNC that is coming up.
So, are ya’ll out there?

::wave:: … but I grew up in MA and can’t like Romney without a couple of qualifying statements. I’m good with Ryan, but wish the ticket was reversed with him as pres.

@Helium: I agree with you about Ryan. I like him SOOO much more than Romney. I’m glad he got picked, but I do kinda wish he was running the show.

@jrzvol: I respect Christie for staying put. I felt bad for Alaska when Palin left, she kinda changed horses in mid stream. I like the idea of Christie sticking it out and really trying to make a difference in NJ. And he’s young so plenty of chances to run for president in the future.
I’m generally conservative but I’d don’t admit that much in real life. Cleveland is like a blue island in a red state, some races there aren’t even any comservatives on the ballot!

I’m glad there are some of you out there, I get lonely on the other threads too. I also agree that Ryan is the more attractive candidate on the ticket.
I’m glad Christie stayed put. I respect him wanting to finish what he started.
Who are you ladies most excited to hear speak at the RNC? I’m really looking forward to Christie.

Hi! I’m a conservative bee! But…I’m not very happy with the republicans as of late :c(
I align with the traditional elements of the conservatives, but I think the party has really shifted in the last few years. Anyone else?
