But, Suzy, it does no such thing. It gives control of the Republican Party to a man even more left-wing than the last nominee this site detested so much. That doesn't advance conservatism.
And, at this point, a vote for a third party candidate or not voting at all, advances 0.
And so, the argument comes full circle. Mathematically, that argument is in error and can be discounted on its face.
But to the larger question, why is it that the "anyone" ABOs talk about is ONLY Romney? You can float the name of Virgil Goode or Tom Hoefling, who posts on this very website ... they are also "anyone but Obama" but people don't seem to want to talk about genuine conservative options that still remain. It's always Romney, and, yourself notably excepted, it's name-calling after that.
I've got another poster on this thread calling me treasonous. What do you think, Suzy? Am I disloyal to the United States of America for advocating a conservative on a conservative website?
I never said anything about treason, and I’m not going to go back through the thread to see who said what in what context.
I am very unhappy that Romney is our putative candidate, but am willing to accept that and move on in order to advance the cause of conservatism and Constitutionalism, AND to save us from a much worse fate than having a NE liberal Republican in the WH.
