That is exactly my point all the rants about this candidate or that candidate or about going the third party route are self defeating. The loudest rants come from those who refuse to look in the mirror and take some responsibility for the mess we now ourselves in. The volatility this primary cycle suggests how divided conservatives are and how willing they are to surrender to the liberals.
In Virginia, only Romney and Paul appeared on the primary ballot, with no write-in options. I'm not "owning" this problem.
Yet, it appears to me that your solution to the problem is to surrender the Republican Party to its liberal wing. I'd vote for a moderate and I'd vote for a left-leaning moderate but I won't vote for a man whose record has shown him to be consistently liberal just because he has an R behind his name. I said back in early 2008 that I could hold my nose and vote for McCain but not Romney.
