(Oh, that’s right - he’s only a SOCIAL conservative, and not totally even that).

Beating a dead horse is so fulfilling. You haters were warned what would happen if you kept that circular firing squad going, so now live with the result. Romney is the nominee, and he will lose.

I still can’t understand this logic. Instead of supporting Gingrich, the conservative, I’m supposed to side with the union-snuggler to stop Romney? Why don’t we all just support the conservative?

Rudy Giuliani is pretty good on fiscal matters and foreign policy, but is horrible on social issues. Most conservatives agree that Rudy would be as unacceptable to us as Romney. So why is Rick Santorum, who is pretty good on social issues and foreign policy, but is horrible on fiscal matters, supposed to be acceptable to us?

Conservatives should not be called upon to betray our friends and allied constituencies. We shouldn’t be stabbing SoCons in the back, we shouldn’t be stabbing the Club for Growth guys in the back, and we shouldn’t be stabbing the foreign policy conservatives in the back. Everything is important, and compromising is what’s splitting conservatives. We shouldn’t be ranking issues! It’s not unreasonable to expect someone to be acceptably conservative on everything.

We stop RINOs when we stop fighting each other. And picking divisive candidates that isolate chunks of conservatives is responsible for the in-fighting - not failing to rally around a partial conservative to stop the RINO.

Knock this nonsense off.

I don’t hate the guy, but is criticism not allowed at ALL???

I’ve never supported Romney - we have had great conservatives in Cain, Perry and Newt. I just don’t like RS’ voting record on a lot of issues over the years. Plus, with his emphasis almost exclusively on social and faith matters, I don’t think he had a chance against BHO any more than Romney does.

But hate? Never. That’s reserved only for BHO and his fellow anti-American radicals.
