I disagree with your characterization of Mitt, but even if it was true that would still make him a far better choice than Obama.
Trumpet the ‘conservatism didn’t lose’ line all you want, but the ugly truth is something far more basic DID lose. Common sense lost, the ability to comprehend the most basic economic principles lost, the ability to learn from experience lost, being able to perceive reality lost. Do you really think conservatism has a chance when even the current mess doesn’t drive people to try something, anything else and they hold out their hand to government and say gimmie!
No. The truth lost. Obama did not campaign as the socialist he is. And Romney did not campaign as the liberal he is. Both lied. And we all know exactly what both would have done when elected.
